Abstract
Copper (Cu) toxicity in crops is a result of excessive release of Cu into environment. Little is known about mitigation of Cu toxicity through the application of carbon-based nanomaterials including water-soluble fullerene C60 derivatives. Two derivatives of fullerene were examined: polyhydroxylated C60 (fullerenol) and arginine C60 derivative. In order to study the response of Cu-stressed plants (Cucumis sativus L.) to these nanomaterials, metabolomics analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was performed. Excess Cu (15 μM) caused substantial increase in xylem sap Cu, retarded dry biomass and leaf chlorosis of hydroponically grown cucumber. In Cu-stressed leaves, metabolomes was disturbed towards suppression metabolism of nitrogen (N) compounds and activation metabolism of hexoses. Also, upregulation of some metabolites involving in antioxidant defense system, such as ascorbic acid, tocopherol and ferulic acid, was occurred in Cu-stressed leaves. Hydroponically added fullerene adducts decreased the xylem sap Cu and alleviated Cu toxicity with effectiveness has been most pronounced for arginine C60 derivative. Metabolic responses of plants subjected to high Cu with fullerene derivatives were opposite to that observed under Cu alone. Fatty acids up-regulation (linolenic acid) and antioxidant molecules (tocopherol) down-regulation might indicate that arginine C60 adduct can alleviate Cu induced oxidative stress. Although fullerenol slightly improved cucumber growth, its effect on metabolic state of Cu-stressed plants was not statistically significant. We suggest that tested fullerene C60 adducts have a potential to prevent Cu toxicity in plants through a mechanism associated with their capability to restrict xylem transport of Cu from roots to shoot, and to maintain antioxidative properties of plants.

Gao J, Zhu Y, Zeng L, Liu X, Yang Y, Zhou Y. Recent advances on environmental behavior of Cu-based nanomaterials in soil-plant system: A review. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 361:121289. [PMID: 38820797 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, copper-based nanomaterials (Cu-based NMs) have shown great potential in promoting agriculture development due to their special physicochemical characteristics. With the mass production and overuse of Cu-based NMs, there are potential effects on the soil-plant environment. Soil organisms, especially soil microorganisms, play a significant part in terrestrial or soil ecosystems; plants, as indirect organisms with soil-related Cu-based NMs, may affect human health through plant agricultural products. Understanding the accumulation and transformation of Cu-based NMs in soil-plant systems, as well as their ecotoxicological effects and potential mechanisms, is a prerequisite for the scientific assessment of environmental risks and safe application. Therefore, based on the current literature, this review: (i) introduces the accumulation and transformation behaviors of Cu-based NMs in soil and plant systems; (ii) focuses on the ecotoxicological effects of Cu-based NMs on a variety of organisms (microorganisms, invertebrates, and plants); (iii) reveals their corresponding toxicity mechanisms. It appears from studies hitherto made that both Cu-based NMs and released Cu2+ may be the main reasons for toxicity. When Cu-based NMs enter the soil-plant environment, their intrinsic physicochemical properties, along with various environmental factors, could also affect their transport, transformation, and biotoxicity. Therefore, we should push for intensifying the multi-approach research that focuses on the behaviors of Cu-based NMs in terrestrial exposure environments, and mitigates their toxicity to ensure the promotion of Cu-based NMs.

Biochar application for the remediation of trace metals in contaminated soils: Implications for stress tolerance and crop production. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 230:113165. [PMID: 34998263 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 10/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/02/2022] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
In modern agriculture and globalization, the release of trace metals from manufacturing effluents hinders crop productivity by polluting the atmosphere and degrading food quality. Sustaining food safety in polluted soils is critical to ensure global food demands. This review describes the negative effects of trace metals stress on plant growth, physiology, and yield. Furthermore, also explains the potential of biochar in the remediation of trace metal's contaminations in plants by adoption of various mechanisms such as reduction, ion exchange, electrostatic forces of attraction, precipitation, and complexation. Biochar application enhances the overall productivity, accumulation of biomass, and photosynthetic activity of plants through the regulation of various biochemical and physiological mechanisms of plants cultivated under trace metals contaminated soil. Moreover, biochar scavenges the formation of reactive oxygen species, by activating antioxidant enzyme production i.e., ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, etc. The application of biochar also improves the synthesis of stressed proteins and proline contents in plants thus maintaining the osmoprotectant and osmotic potential of the plant under contaminates stress. Integrated application of biochar with other amendments i.e., microorganisms and plant nutrients to improve trace metal remediation potential of biochar and improving crop production was also highlighted in this review. Moreover, future research needs regarding the application of biochar have also been addressed.

Metal tolerance in plants: Molecular and physicochemical interface determines the "not so heavy effect" of heavy metals. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 287:131957.

Abstract
An increase in technological interventions and ruthless urbanization in the name of development has deteriorated our environment over time and caused the buildup of heavy metals (HMs) in the soil and water resources. These heavy metals are gaining increased access into our food chain through the plant and/or animal-based products, to adversely impact human health. The issue of how to restrict the entry of HMs or modulate their response in event of their ingress into the plant system is worrisome. The current knowledge on the interactive-regulatory role and contribution of different physical, biophysical, biochemical, physiological, and molecular factors that determine the heavy metal availability-uptake-partitioning dynamics in the soil-plant-environment needs to be updated. The present review critically analyses the interactive overlaps between different adaptation and tolerance strategies that may be causally related to their cellular localization, conjugation and homeostasis, a relative affinity for the transporters, rhizosphere modifications, activation of efflux pumps and vacuolar sequestration that singly or collectively determine a plant's response to HM stress. Recently postulated role of gaseous pollutants such as SO2 and other secondary metabolites in heavy metal tolerance, which may be regulated at the whole plant and/or tissue/cell is discussed to delineate and work towards a "not so heavy" response of plants to heavy metals present in the contaminated soils.

Estimation of carbon dots amelioration of copper toxicity in maize studied by synchrotron radiation-FTIR. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 204:111828.

Abstract
Carbon dots are biocompatible and non-toxic nanoparticles with chemical affinity to some heavy metals. Human activities increase soil pollution with copper. Cu is an essential microelement in plants, but excess can induce a harmful effects. In plant response to Cu, the cell wall plays an important role. This study aims to estimate possible amelioration effects of folic acid based CDs on Cu toxicity by studying the intracellular and cell wall compounds in maize (Zea mays L.) roots and leaves after 7 day-treatment in hydroponics. The sub-cellular compartmentalization and bio-macromolecular changes induced by 5 μM Cu applied alone or with CDs (167 and 500 mg/L) were studied using the Synchrotron-based Fourier transformmicro-spectroscopy (SR-FTIR) combined with X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Cu induced changes in content of cell wall polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids. The XPS detected CDs transport throughout the plants. The Cu/167CDs treatment reduced Cu concentration in the roots, possibly by complexation/trapping between the functional groups on CDs surface and Cu2+. Principal component analysis of FTIR spectra confirmed that Cu/500CDs treatment increased Cu adverse effects in most tissues but alleviated adverse Cu effects on cell wall polysaccharides in the root xylem, and on polysaccharides and proteins in leaf phloem and mesophyll.

Abstract
Accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in soil, water and air is one of the major environmental concerns worldwide, which mainly occurs due to anthropogenic activities such as industrialization, urbanization, and mining. Conventional remediation strategies involving physical or chemical techniques are not cost-effective and/or eco-friendly, reinforcing the necessity for development of novel approaches. Phytoextraction has attracted considerable attention over the past decades and generally refers to use of plants for cleaning up environmental pollutants such as HMs. Compared to other plant types such as edible crops and medicinal plants, ornamental plants (OPs) seem to be a more viable option as they offer several advantages including cleaning up the HMs pollution, beautification of the environment, by-product generation and related economic benefits, and not generally being involved in the food/feed chain or other direct human applications. Phytoextraction ability of OPs involve diverse detoxification pathways such as enzymatic and non-enzymatic (secondary metabolites) antioxidative responses, distribution and deposition of HMs in the cell walls, vacuoles and metabolically inactive tissues, and chelation of HMs by a ligand such as phytochelatins followed by the sequestration of the metal-ligand complex into the vacuoles. The phytoextraction efficiency of OPs can be improved through chemical, microbial, soil amending, and genetic approaches, which primarily target bioavailability, uptake, and sequestration of HMs. In this review, we explore the phytoextraction potential of OPs for remediation of HMs-polluted environments, underpinning mechanisms, efficiency improvement strategies, and highlight the potential future research directions.

Interactive Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Copper Stress on Flowering Phenology and Reproduction of Elsholtzia splendens. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0145793. [PMID: 26709921 PMCID: PMC4692497 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0145793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2015] [Accepted: 12/08/2015] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Plant responses to heavy metal contamination may depend on the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Elsholtzia splendens is an indicator species for the presence of copper (Cu) mines because both its flowering phenology and reproduction are tolerant to heavy metals. To test whether effects of Cu on the flowering phenology and reproduction of E. splendens depend on the presence of AMF, we conducted a factorial experiment with two Cu treatments (with or without Cu addition) crossed with two AMF treatments (with or without AMF inoculation). Without AMF, Cu addition significantly delayed the onset dates, ending dates and peak dates of flowering and decreased flowering duration. However, AMF inoculation reversed the effects of Cu stress, with recovered flowering onset and ending dates and increased the flowering duration. Cu addition significantly decreased inflorescence width and number, inflorescence biomass, vegetative biomass and total seed number, but significantly increased 1000-seed weight. AMF inoculation significantly increased vegetative biomass. Two-way ANOVA results showed that the interactive effects between Cu addition and AMF inoculation were significant on the inflorescence number, vegetative biomass and total seed number. These results indicate that AMF can alleviate the Cu stress on the flowering phenology and reproduction of E. splendens.
