Activation of Non‐Enzymatic Antioxidants by Lepidium sativum L. Exposed to Hg During Assisted Phytoextraction

Abstract: This study focuses on the physiological response of Lepidium sativum L. to Hg and/or nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) during soil reclamation. Greenhouse experiments are conducted in soil contaminated with Hg to final concentrations of 10 or 100 mg kg−1. The influence of Hg and NTA is studied on the growth of L. sativum L. and the activation of its non‐enzymatic antioxidant system, including generation of ascorbic acid (AA) and tocopherols (TOCs). The results shows that Hg is accumulated by L. sativum L. in its abo… Show more

“…In accordance with Zhang et al (2002) hyperaccumulating plants are those that have a BF > 1 . Low BF values obtained for plants harvested from contaminated soil confirm the earlier findings that L. sativum L. is a non‐hyperaccumulator . Nevertheless, the slight transfer of Hg to aerial tissues was noticed.…”

“…Mercury concentrations in plant samples and soil or growing medium samples were provided in accordance with the procedure described in Smolinska and Bonikowski . The concentrations of Hg in plant tissues and soil or growing medium were used to calculate the efficiency of phytoextraction: Bioaccumulation factor (BF) was calculated using (Eqn (1)): BF%=normalCHgwhole plant/normalCHgsoil initial×100% …”
