The problem of fluoride toxicity to living organisms is the subject of many studies. Its effect, not always toxic, on the human organism has been well documented. However, although the phytotoxicity of the element has been proved, this issue is still being investigated. It seems to be still relevant due to the progressive pollution of the environment and fluoridation of water. Assuming that the source of food for humans is plants, the content of fluoride in fruits and vegetables is important for human health. In the available literature, fluoride has been demonstrated to be phytotoxic at the level of cell transformations, biometric plant parameters, development of resistance, and biochemical processes in plants. However, several studies have provided information on improvement of certain plant parameters, e.g., the length of roots or shoots, caused by low fluoride doses and improvement of respiratory indices. The aim of this study was to analyze changes caused in plants by exposure to fluoride and to determine its beneficial effects based on the latest literature reports. It was based on the latest knowledge from the last 8 years. Attempts were made to compare earlier research results with contemporary items. In conclusion, the analysis has shown that, although some sources provide information on the positive effect of small fluoride doses, the impact of this element requires further investigations, as has not been fully elucidated.

“…For the co-occurrence map (Figure 2A), studies grouped in the green cluster show that when investigating tolerant and accumulator species of a contaminant, it is important to evaluate how it enters the plant, how it behaves in the plant tissue. Furthermore, the effects fluoride presence causes on plants, whether morphological, anatomical or enzymatic, in which organs it is accumulated, how the plant reacts to the stress it causes, and if the plant eliminates it, how it does so, are also critical points to assess (Sinha et al, 2000;Saini et al, 2012;Saini et al, 2013;Singh and Verma, 2013;Koblar et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 2015;Karmakar et al, 2016;Karmakar et al, 2018;Rodrigues et al, 2020;Siahouei et al, 2020;Zhang and Chen, 2020;Calabrese and Agathokleous, 2021;Khandare et al, 2021). Plant species who show a high rate of assimilation of a given contaminant without suffering severe damage are considered accumulator species, and are ideal for the phytoremediation of that contaminant (Khandare et al, 2017;Gadi et al, 2020).…”

Traditional techniques for removing fluoride (F−) from water are costly and complex, whereas phytoremediation is a less expensive method that can be adopted as an ecotechnological tool to control not only fluorine, but also other pollutants in urban and agricultural watersheds. Phytoremediation as a strategy for defluoridation is little used and still has a long way to go. Therefore, it is important to get a picture that describes scientific achievements and trends around this topic and support decision-making processes to move forward. Hence, the aim of this study was to collect bibliometric data on the use of phytoremediation to remove F−, from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Data collected considered the scenario of related publications regarding countries and researchers that publish the most, the chronological evolution of the publications, the co-occurrence of terms to point out overall focus and interests of researches and collaboration initiatives around the subject. India has the highest number of publications on F− phytoremediation, which can be explained by the high incidence of fluorosis in that country. The number of publications per year, although still small, has grown over the last 5 years. A cluster map showing the co-occurrence of terms indicated research focused on the effects of F− on plant metabolism, and the correlation of this contaminant when in the presence of heavy metals and with issues of sanitation. Different studies also seek species of accumulator plants, and investigate physical and chemical parameters of the environment that influence the absorption of the F− anion. New approaches to optimize the process and phytoremediation overall are on the rise like the use of phytohormones, growth-promoting bacteria, sorption processes and genetic manipulation.

The Ricinus communis is very valuable plant for the human beings. Ricinus communis also known as castor plant. It has high medicinal value as well as pharmacological value for disease cure activity as well as much more traditional value. In a Castor plant, oil seed with rich oil content shows its high phytochemical compound of monounsaturated fatty acid and bioactive compounds. The predominant triglyceride component in the oil is triricinolein. Minor biological compounds including carotenoid, tocopherol, tocotrienol, phytosterol, phospholipid, phytochemical, and phenolic compounds are present in castor oil. R. communis harbours phytochemicals which have been shown the many receptor activate like peroxisome proliferator activated receptor these are receptor are responsible for the transcription factors regulating the expression of genes., nuclear factor NF-k-B responsible for the a regulator of innate immunity, cytochrome P450 function is hemeprotein that plays a key role in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics, P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases kinase (p38 MAPK), tumor protein P53, B-cell lymphoma-extra-large (Bcl-xL) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2)These compounds offer oxidation stability, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties to the oil. Traditionally the plant is used as laxative, purgative, fertilizer and fungicide etc. whereas the plant possesses beneficial effects such as anti-oxidant, Antinociceptive, antiasthmatic, antiulcer, Antidiabetic, Antifertility etc medicinal properties. This activity show in plant possesses due to the Valuable phytochemical constituents like flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, alkaloids and steroids etc. The motive of this paper is to explain the details of phyto-pharmacological properties of R. communis for the future research work for the upcoming research scholar.
