The lack of clean water sources, due to the presence of pollutants in water, is a major issue in many countries, including Malaysia. To overcome this problem, various methods have been introduced, including phytoremediation treatment. Therefore, this phytoremediation study examined the ability of five aquatic plants—Centella asiatica, Ipomoea aquatica, Salvinia molesta, Eichhornia crassipes, and Pistia stratiotes—to remove three pollutants—total suspended solids (TSS), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), and phosphate—from aquaculture wastewater. Using wastewater samples, each containing 50 g of one of the plants, the pollutant levels were measured every two days for 14 days. The results showed a drastic decline in the concentration of pollutants, where C. asiatica was able to remove 98% of NH3-N, 90% of TSS, and 64% of phosphate, while I. aquatica showed the potential to eliminate up to 73% of TSS and NH3-N, and 50% of phosphate. E. crassipes drastically removed 98% of phosphate, 96% of TSS, and 74% of NH3-N, while P. stratiotes was able to eliminate 98% of TSS, 78% of NH3-N, and 89% of phosphate. S. molesta was efficient in removing 89.3% of TSS and 88.6% of phosphate, but only removed 63.9% of NH3-N.

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals in the environment, and has noxious effects on plant growth and production. Cd-accumulating plants showed reduced growth and productivity. Therefore, remediation of this non-essential and toxic pollutant is a prerequisite. Plant-based phytoremediation methodology is considered as one a secure, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective approach for toxic metal remediation. Phytoremediating plants transport and accumulate Cd inside their roots, shoots, leaves, and vacuoles. Phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated sites through hyperaccumulator plants proves a ground-breaking and profitable choice to combat the contaminants. Moreover, the efficiency of Cd phytoremediation and Cd bioavailability can be improved by using plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Emerging modern molecular technologies have augmented our insight into the metabolic processes involved in Cd tolerance in regular cultivated crops and hyperaccumulator plants. Plants’ development via genetic engineering tools, like enhanced metal uptake, metal transport, Cd accumulation, and the overall Cd tolerance, unlocks new directions for phytoremediation. In this review, we outline the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms involved in Cd phytoremediation. Further, a focus on the potential of omics and genetic engineering strategies has been documented for the efficient remediation of a Cd-contaminated environment.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and Azotobacteron growth, oxidative effect and antioxidant defense mechanisms under cadmium (Cd) stresses in Coriandrum sativum L. (Coriander). Treatments consisted of mycorrhizal and Azotobacter treatments and threeconcentrations of cadmium treatments (0,50and 100 mg Cd kg-1 of soil). Metal induced oxidative damage through increased lipid peroxidation. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POX) increased under stress and it was found that there was a direct correlation between root length, shoot length, plant fresh weight and plant dry weight and the activity of these enzymes in concentration dependent manner. The activity of antioxidants and growth increased in mycorrhizal and Azotobacter stressed plants. However, the combination of mycorrhiza (AMF) and Azotobacteracted synergistically and significantly arrested lipid peroxidation and led to increased growth as well as activity of activity of antioxidants. The interactions of cadmium and biofertilizers proved to be synergistic and the antioxidant activities further increased indicated the positive role of biofertilizers in increasing the antioxidant activity thereby decreasing oxidative stress and stimulating growth. Therefore, biofertilizers are advisable to enhance the tolerance to cadmium stress in medicinally important coriander.
