“…Soil type contributes in this fragmentation as proven by the current results, in accordance with previous studies [21]. Rangeland plant community and species composition are known to be related to specific soil properties such as soil climate (moisture and temperature), texture, depth, structure, fertility, pH, salinity and toxic influences.…”

Rangeland plant community and species composition are known to be related to specific soil properties. The current study investigated the ecological influence (soil characteristics) on the selection and distribution of ecological-related genotypes of dominant xerophyte species in WadiSudr of Egypt. AFLP analysis reflected the genetic profile of the samples species from two altitudinal ranges (up and midstream) and was compared statistically with the differences of their inhabiting soil characteristics on two depth levels (

“…Divergence of metallophytes under heavy metal selection has been characterized by other researchers, with a focus on only a few species, notably N. caerulescens [29-33], A. halleri [1,16,34-36], Cistus ladanifer [37] and species in the genus Silene [15,18,33,38,39]. To our knowledge, the present study is the first report on a comparison of the genetic divergence of two sympatric metallophytes.…”

BackgroundPatterns of genetic divergence between populations of facultative metallophytes have been investigated extensively. However, most previous investigations have focused on a single plant species making it unclear if genetic divergence shows common patterns or, conversely, is species-specific. The herbs Rumex acetosa L. and Commelina communis L. are two pseudo-metallophytes thriving in both normal and cupriferous soils along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. Their non-metallicolous and metallicolous populations are often sympatric thus providing an ideal opportunity for comparative estimation of genetic structures and divergence under the selective pressure derived from copper toxicity.ResultsIn the present study, patterns of genetic divergence of R. acetosa and C. communis , including metal tolerance, genetic structure and genetic relationships between populations, were investigated and compared using hydroponic experiments, AFLP, ISSR and chloroplast genetic markers. Our results show a significant reduction in genetic diversity in metallicolous populations of C. communis but not in R. acetosa . Moreover, genetic differentiation is less in R. acetosa than in C. communis , the latter species also shows a clustering of its metallicolous populations.ConclusionsWe propose that the genetic divergences apparent in R. acetosa and C. communis , and the contrasting responses of the two species to copper contamination, might be attributed to the differences in their intrinsic physiological and ecological properties. No simple and generalised conclusions on genetic divergence in pseudo-metallophytes can thus be drawn.

“…Therefore spontaneously vegetated brownfields provide a pool of TMM tolerant plant individuals healthy enough to maintain a self-sustaining population and also to enable us to refine in situ mechanisms of TMM tolerance. However, when a species establishes on a soil with high TMM content, plant tolerance to TMM will occur within the limits of phenotypic plasticity (Schat et al, 1997;Pollard et al, 2002;Ernst, 2006;Quintela-Sabarís et al, 2012).…”

How can a rare protected plant cope with the metal and metalloid soil pollution resulting from past industrial activities? Phytometabolites, antioxidant activities and root symbiosis involved in the metal tolerance of Astragalus tragacantha

Astragalus tragacantha is a protected plant species in France that grows even in the trace metal and metalloid (TMM) polluted soils of the Calanques National Park (PNCal). Soils are mainly contaminated by lead, copper, zinc and arsenic. An ex situ experiment was conducted, firstly to determine the molecular responses and root traits involved in the TMM tolerance of this plant species by growing individuals in a soil from the surroundings of one of the brownfields of the PNCal, known as l'Escalette, where this plant species grows spontaneously. Secondly, in order to determine the plasticity of these responses, seeds were collected from three different populations, one at l'Escalette (polluted site), one from the Frioul archipelago (non-polluted, insular site) and one from La Seyne (non-polluted, littoral site). The results of this study confirmed the capacity of A. tragacantha to germinate and grow in TMM contaminated soils. Only moderate significant variations in chlorophyll and flavonol indices, proline content and antioxidant activities were detected between polluted and control soil conditions for all populations. The main driver for A. tragacantha TMM tolerance seemed to be its ability to be associated with root symbionts i.e. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate endophytes, corresponding to a nutrient-uptake strategy trait. This work provides support for the challenge of A. tragacantha conservation along the littoral of the PNCal, because increasing the number of A. tragacantha individuals would both increase vegetation cover of the polluted soils to reduce the pollution transfer and reinforce the populations of this species. Highlights A rare plant species able to grow in metal and metalloid contaminated soils Germination and growth not affected by Pb and As soil pollution High plasticity of seedlings of this rare protected plant Enhanced Pb and As tolerance due to nutrient-uptake strategy Preserving this rare species may improve phytostabilization of soil pollutants
