“…Phytostabilization of Zn is also a viable technology for application in contaminated soils, and several plants have been well established to perform this task. For example, the perennial shrub Sesbania virgata is an excellent species for use in Zn contaminated soils (Branzini et al, 2012). Other plant species that are good candidates for phytostabilization are Quercus robur, Quercus petraea, Pinus sylvestris, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Van Nevel et al, 2011) and S. paradoxa .…”

“…The Zn amounts accumulated in shoots, roots and total differed between the species only at the dose of 200 mg kg to the shoots, even with reduction in the amount of biomass (Branzini et al, 2012).…”

Zinc (Zn) is a micronutrient that is reaching toxic levels in the soil, with the intensification of agricultural and industrial activities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth, accumulation and tolerance of Erythrina crista-galli and Senna multijuga seedlings in soil with addition of increasing Zn levels. The study was conducted in a greenhouse for 120 days, using a completely randomized design in a 2 x 6 factorial arrangement, corresponding to two tree species (S. multijuga and E. crista-galli) and six doses of zinc in the soil (0, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 mg kg-1) with six replicates. E. crista-galli and S. multijuga seedlings decreased root and shoot dry weight with increasing Zn doses. E. crista-galli and S. multijuga have low Zn translocation index and are capable to phytostabilize Zn in the roots. E. crista-galli had greater tolerance to Zn compared with S. multijuga. The species have potential for Zn phytostabilization programs in contaminated soil.

“…The sterilized seeds were germinated on Petri dishes (10 seeds dish -1 ), lined with filter paper and impregnated with 6 mL of distilled water. After the plants had grown for 14 days, three plants were selected, each with similar lengths (between 5 and 10 cm), and a pot experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions (natural light, 25°C temperature) (Branzini et al 2012). All experiments were made triplicate, and the mean values were reported.…”

“…The transfer factor (TF) from soil to plant was definite by Freytag (1986) as the ratio between the metal content in plant (in mg kg -1 plant d.w.) and the metal content in soil (mg kg -1 d.w.). The transfer of metal ions from the roots to the shoots is discussed in terms of translocation factor (TF), as the ratio of total metal concentration in the plants shoot to that in the roots (Ahlawat Sainger et al 2011;Branzini et al 2012).…”

The chelate assisted phytoremediation of polluted soils, based on the complexation of metals with chelators, can be a valuable green solution for agricultural soils decontamination. Copper is considered a hardly available and slowly translocating element, but the complexation may increase its bioavailability and translocation capacity, with benefits for soil phytoremediation. In our study, the ability of horse manure-a natural source of compounds which can act as chelators for enhancing the bioavailability and uptake of copper from contaminated soils-was investigated, by the use of white mustard (Sinapis alba) as the accumulator plant; the results were compared with those obtained for ethylenediaminetetraacetate, a synthetic chelator. The copper bioavailability, bioaccumulation, uptake, and thus the potential for phytoremediation of copper polluted soils, were estimated by translocation factor, bioaccumulation factor, and uptake coefficient. The results indicated that the use of horse manure as natural chelators source can improve the copper phytoextraction capacity, also having the advantage of an increase in biomass.
