“…Phytoremediation can assist in soil carbon sequestering, which is a process of removing CO 2 from the atmosphere and storing it in soil carbon pool, as humus, root exudates, soil fauna, and microorganism (Thomas et al, 2022). Further, phytoremediation also helps in the soil stabilization by removing the contaminants, improving the soil quality, and preventing the soil erosion (Aftab et al, 2021;Afzal et al, 2019). However, despite being sustainable and friendly to the environment, the sustainable application of these phyto-technologies is highly dependent on the efficient post-phytoremediation strategies related to the produced HMs-contaminated biomass (Khan et al, 2021).…”

“…Phytoremediation helps to sustain the stability of soil by removing pollutants. Apart from improving the soil's quality, it also prevents soil erosion [44]. Given the limitations of conventional soil remediation techniques and the contents of legislative motions, including the EU Fertilizer Regulation adopted by the EU Parliament, which recommends the use of organic products [45], biostimulation of soils with composts appears to be an effective solution that is non-invasive to the environment [46].…”

Calorific Value of Zea mays Biomass Derived from Soil Contaminated with Chromium (VI) Disrupting the Soil’s Biochemical Properties

One of the major challenges faced by contemporary agriculture is how to achieve better yields of crops and, consequently, higher biomass, even in unfavorable environmental conditions. This challenge corresponds to the assumptions of sustainable development, wherein it is envisaged that plant biomass should be used on a large scale for heat generation or conversion of biofuels. Keeping pace with observed trends, the following study was conducted in order to determine the effect of Cr(VI) on the net calorific value of Zea mays, to assess the impact of this element on soil enzymatic activity, and to identify the effectiveness of compost and humic acids in alleviating possible negative effects of Cr(VI) toxicity. These aims were pursued by setting up a pot experiment, in which soil either uncontaminated or contaminated with increasing doses of Cr(VI) of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 mg Cr kg−1 d.m. was submitted to biostimulation with compost and the preparation HumiAgra, a source of humic acids, and cropped with Zea mays. The plant height, yield, and net calorific value of the aerial parts of maize, as well as its root yield, were determined. Additionally, the activity of seven soil enzymes and the values of the impact indices of compost and HumiAgra relative to the analyzed parameters were determined. It was found that Cr(VI) decreased the amount of energy obtained from the plants by decreasing maize biomass, and additionally by distorting the biochemical balance of the soil. Dehydrogenases, urease, and arylsulfatase proved to be particularly sensitive to this element. It was demonstrated that HumiAgra was more effective than compost in mollifying the adverse effects of Cr(VI) on the activity of soil enzymes and, consequently, on the biomass of Zea mays.

“…The habitat cosmos is spread out in the tropics, but the yellow cosmos is a not-consumed by humans and animals (Zhou et al 2018). The yellow cosmos contains high secondary metabolites such as phenolics, flavonoids, saponin, and tannins that can be used for biopharmaceutical and biopesticide applications (Saleem et al 2017;Aftab et al 2021). The previous study reported that yellow cosmos also contains gallic acid, which has the potential as a natural herbicide (Respatie et al 2019).…”

Abstract. Irsyadi MB, Sawitri WD, Purwantoro A. 2022. Molecular and phenotypic characteristics of T1 transgenic yellow cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus) carrying neomycin phosphotransferase II gene. Biodiversitas 23: 6097-6105. Yellow cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus) is a tropical ornamental flower that contains secondary metabolites useful fornatural pesticide application. Plant genetic transformation is one genetic engineering method used to increase secondary metabolite accumulation. However, published reports on this issue have yet to be made available. This is the first report of genetic transformation in transgenic yellow cosmos using neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) encoding gene. This study aimed to determine the efficiency transformation and phenotypic character of the T1 yellow cosmos transgenic nptII. This genetic transformation was carried out by the floral dip method mediated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens and characterized based on quantitative and qualitative observations, as well as a cluster analysis of transgenic plants. The T1 transgenic yellow cosmos was confirmed using PCR with a transformation efficiency of 73.33% based on the total plants resistant to Kanamycin and 10.57% based on the total seeds transformed. The presence of the nptII encoding gene was shown in transgenic plant samples with a size of 550 bp. In general, the introduction of the nptII gene generated no novel traits except the resistance to the kanamycin antibiotic. However, there was a decrease and increase in the number of stomata and the size of stomata in transgenic plants, respectively. In addition, there was a change in the type of ray floret to a mixture of ligulate and tubular, indicating that the nptII gene affected the phenotype of yellow cosmos. The result revealed that the nptII gene was inserted fairly randomly into the plant genome.
