Phytoextraction potential of Mirabilis jalapa, with tuberous root having high ecological adoptability was studied in the present work . Different levels of cadmium and chromium stress on growth, physiology and metal uptake were studied using pot experiments. The experiment comprised of 5 dosages of cadmium and chromium with different test concentrations (TC) viz, TC1(0), TC2(25), TC3(50), TC4(75) and TC5(100) ppm, for the period of 45 days. Growth, physiological parameters and metal accumulation were estimated at 15 days intervals in root and shoot of Mirabilis jalapa. The shoot biomass of Mirabilis jalapa shown no significant reduction in both cadmium and chromium treatments of soil whereas, root biomass and physiological parameters like chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids were significantly reduced and shown inhibitory effect. The maximum uptake of cadmium by root and shoot was 36.2mg/kg and 48.62mg/kg in TC4 soils on day 45. The maximum uptake of chromium by root and shoot was 34.8mg/kg and 23.5mg/kg in TC4 soils on day 45. There is no inhibitory effect shown on metal uptake as it increased with increasing the dosage of heavy metals in soils. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) and Translocation factor (TF) were >1 in cadmium contaminated soils, where as in chromium contaminated soils BCF>1 but TF<1. Over all the present study can be concluded that Mirabilis jalapa could be promising accumulator and most suitable for the remediation of cadmium and chromium contaminated soils.

“…Davies et al (2001), working with a range of both Cr(III) and Cr(VI) concentrations, found that although mycorrhizas reduced H. annuus plant stress due to Cr toxicity, the symbiosis enhanced Cr uptake both in shoots and roots. Ghosh and Singh (2005) found that non-hyperaccumulator plants tend to avoid Cr uptake and translocation, and the higher concentration of Cr is found in roots, rather than leaves or stems.…”

“…Whereas Cr(III), over a narrow concentration range, is considered to be less toxic, Cr(VI) salts have severe toxic effects on humans (Kornhauser et al, 2002). The range of toxicity for most agronomic plants ranges from 5 to 100 mg kg -1 of available Cr in soil (Ghosh and Singh, 2005). Cr(III) was chosen as the contaminant for this study because it is found in polluted effluents of tanneries and in waste.…”

Industrial practices are the primary causes for the accumulation of chromium in the environment, an element considered as a toxic heavy metal when present in high concentrations. The beneficial contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to plant nutrition and growth has been acknowledged, however, results of heavy metal uptake by plants under mycorrhizal symbiosis vary. The AMF Glomus intraradices (BEG 72) was used with Plantago lanceolata as a host plant in three experiments. In the first one, devised to assess the plant tolerance to Cr(III) in the soil, four levels of chromium concentration were applied in a sterile soil mix, placed in pots with inoculated and non inoculated plant treatments. Plant survival, shoot weight and AMF root colonisation were measured. In the second experiment which was designed in order to determine the effect of the symbiosis on the chromium uptake, similar treatments were used, and in addition, the heavy metal plant tissue content was measured and the bioconcentration factors calculated. In the third experiment the chromium uptake from an industrial chromium waste contaminated soil was assessed using treatments with and without the AMF. Results showed that chromium has a severe impact on the survival of non inoculated plants, however, plants inoculated with AMF in moderately contaminated soil, perform in terms of growth and survival rate, as well as the non inoculated plants in soil with no chromium added, suggesting a buffering effect of the AMF by decreased intake of the toxic element in the roots and its translocation to the shoot.Additional key words: Glomus intraradices, heavy metal tolerance, phytoremediation. ResumenEfecto de la contaminación del suelo con cromo en la colonización de las raíces con micorrizas arbusculares y en la absorción de metales pesados de Plantago lanceolata Prácticas industriales, tales como el cromado, el curtido de pieles, tratamientos de la madera y la minería, son las principales causas de la acumulación en el medio ambiente del cromo, un elemento considerado como metal pesado tóxico cuando está presente en grandes concentraciones. Se ha estudiado ampliamente la contribución de los hongos de la micorriza arbuscular (HMA) a la nutrición vegetal y al crecimiento de las plantas y se han descrito distintos efectos de la micorrización en la captación de metales pesados por las plantas. El HMA Glomus intraradices (BEG 72) fue utilizado con Plantago lanceolata como planta hospedante para evaluar la respuesta a la contaminación con Cr(III). Los ensayos se realizaron en suelo esterilizado al que se añadieron tres concentraciones de Cr(III) (100 mg kg -1 , 200 mg kg -1 , 400 mg kg -1 ) y en un suelo industrial contaminado con vertidos de cromo. Los resultados mostraron que la acumulación de cromo tiene graves repercusiones en la supervivencia de las plantas no micorrizadas, sin embargo, las plantas inoculadas con el HMA en un suelo moderadamente contaminado, tienen un crecimiento y una tasa de supervivencia comparables a los de las plantas n...

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the plant tolerance to Fe and its phytotranslocation by Jatropha curcas L. from an iron rich wasteland soil. The soil was collected from wasteland soil (WLS) of a small town Sandila, (Hardoi, U.P.) India, and three Jatropha clones were cultivated in WLS amended or not with sand or cowdung in a ratio of 3:2. The WLS had high pH, elevated electric conductivity (EC) and was rich in organic carbon and total NPK. Iron and Mn were 2-3 folds higher than that in the normal field soil. Net root and shoot elongation as well as fresh and dry biomass of the plants were only slightly affected at 100 d in WLS as compared with that grown in non-polluted soil. Tolerance index (TI) of J. curcas was significantly higher in cowdung amended WLS in comparison to that in WLS, or WLS amended with sand. Translocation factor (TF) from the soil to plants for Fe was significantly higher in WLS than that in the normal field soil. Bio-concentration factor (BCF) and concentration index (CI) for Fe were 0.12 to 0.37, 1.0 to 6.2 respectively. The results indicate that Jatropha plantation is suitable for phytoremediation of Fe-contaminate wasteland soils, and also that these polluted fields could be used to cultivate this important biodiesel plant species.
