“…The results showed that La and Ce uptake increased in H. annuus shoots and roots with the increasing concentrations of REEs in the nutritive solutions in comparison to the control ( Figure 2 ), with the roots being the preferential REE accumulation organ. The obtained results are in agreement with the trials of Rezaee et al [ 44 ], whose results showed that the accumulated La and neodymium (Nd) were higher in the roots of H. annuus and Brassica chinensis . Milania et al [ 13 ] also demonstrated that Ce accumulation is usually lower in shoots.…”

“…Milania et al [ 13 ] also demonstrated that Ce accumulation is usually lower in shoots. Since a metal hyperaccumulator plant should highly tolerate and accumulate more than 1000 mg·kg −1 of a metal in its aerial part and should have a translocation factor greater than 0.2 [ 44 ], H. annuus could not be considered as a potential hyperaccumulator species of La and Ce under the tested conditions. In fact, generally, to reduce metal toxicity, plants can minimize the metal translocation from the root system to the aerial parts [ 44 ], and the elevated retention of toxic metals in roots presents an acquired tolerance strategy in plants in order to protect the photosynthetic apparatus.…”

Rare earth elements (REEs) present a group of nonessential metals for the growth and development of plants. At high concentrations, they can induce internal stress and disturb the physiological and biochemical mechanisms in plants. The potential uptake of lanthanum (La) and cerium (Ce) by the horticultural plant Helianthus annuus and the effect of these elements on its growth, its absorption of macroelements, and the contents of phenolic compounds and flavonoids were assessed. The plants were exposed to 0, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 µM of La and Ce for 14 days. The results showed a remarkable accumulation of the two REEs, especially in the roots, which was found to be positively correlated with the total phenolic compound and flavonoid content in the plant shoots and roots. The plant’s growth parameter patterns (such as dry weight and water content); the levels of potassium, calcium, and magnesium; and the tolerance index varied with the concentrations of the two studied elements. According to the tolerance index values, H. annuus had more affinity to La than to Ce. Although these metals were accumulated in H. annuus tissues, this Asteraceae plant cannot be considered as a hyperaccumulator species of these two REEs, since the obtained REE content in the plant’s upper parts was less than 1000 mg·Kg−1 DW.

Environmental pollution is becoming one of the most important global problems.Understanding the main factors affecting accumulation of toxic trace elements in consumed crops is of particular value. Unfortunately, possible toxicity of many trace elements is still poorly studied. The development of measures on identification of new potentially toxic trace elements is critical for high quality and safety of food. In the research, we performed greenhouse pot experiments with two major crops, wheat and barley, that were grown in the soil contaminated with bromides of ammonium and neodymium. The concentrations of elements in the plants and soil were determined by ICP-MS/ICP-OES after leaching the samples with tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide. Additionally, variations in the biomasses and concentrations of pigments in the plant leaves were studied. Although wheat and barley are botanically similar and were grown under the same conditions, concentrations of several elements in the plants were rather different. Both wheat and barley were capable of accumulating high concentrations of bromine (Br) when the plants grow in the soil contaminated with this trace element, but demonstrated different response on the soil contamination. The Br concentrations were always higher in barley, while the concentrations of pigments in barley leaves were lower than in leaves of wheat. During first days, biomass of the plants grown in the soil contaminated with bromides was slightly lower than biomass of the wheat and barley grown in uncontaminated soil. However, with time the bromides exhibited positive effect on the plant biomass.

“…REE(III) as a series of non-essential heavy metal elements for living organisms affect the growth of plants (Gonzalez et al, 2014). For example, it was reported that REE(III) can improve the germination, photosynthesis, biomass, uptake of nutrition, dry weight of plants (Ramírezolvera et al, 2018; Vilela et al, 2018), and also exhibit toxic effects on plants (Joonas et al, 2016; Rezaee et al, 2018). More seriously, plants are the primary producers of the ecosystem, and can absorb and accumulate REE(III) from water, soil and atmosphere (Wang et al, 2014a; Zhuang et al, 2017).…”

Rare earth elements [REE(III)] increasingly accumulate in the atmosphere and can be absorbed by plant leaves. Our previous study showed that after treatment of REE(III) on plant, REE(III) is first bound by some extracellular molecules of plant cells, and then the endocytosis of leaf cells will be initiated, which terminates the endocytic inertia of leaf cells. Identifying the extracellular molecules for binding REE(III) is the crucial first step to elucidate the mechanism of REE(III) initiating the endocytosis in leaf cells. Unfortunately, the molecules are unknown. Here, cerium(III) [Ce(III)] and Arabidopsis served as a representative of REE(III) and plants, respectively. By using interdisciplinary methods such as confocal laser scanning microscopy, immune-Au and fluorescent labeling, transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, fluorescent spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulation, we obtained two important discoveries: first, the arabinogalactan proteins (AGP) inside leaf cells were sensitively increased in protein expression and recruited onto the plasma membrane; second, to verify whether AGP can bind to Ce(III) in the acidic environment outside leaf cells, by choosing fasciclin-like AGP11 (AtFLA11) as a representative of AGP, we found that Ce(III) can form stable [Ce(H 2 O) 7 ](III)-AtFLA11 complexes with an apparent binding constant of 1.44 × 10 −6 in simulated acidic environment outside leaf cells, in which the secondary and tertiary structure of AtFLA11 was changed. The structural change in AtFLA11 and the interaction between AtFLA11 and Ce(III) were enhanced with increasing the concentration of Ce(III). Therefore, AtFLA11 can serve as Lewis bases to coordinately bind to Ce(III), which broke traditional chemical principle. The results confirmed that AGP can be the possible extracellular molecules for binding to exogenous Ce(III) outside leaf cells, and provided references for elucidating the mechanism of REE(III) initiating the endocytosis in leaf cells.
