“…Moreover, bioactivity studies reported these species' antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties [8,9]. Several pharmacologically interesting compounds were already identified in their extracts, e.g., tannins, flavonoids, phenolic acids and terpenes [10,11]. Given their richness in bioactive molecules and bioactive power, these compounds, can effectively apply in different industries, such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.…”

Cupressus sempervirens L., Juniperus communis L. and Cistus ladanifer L. are Mediterranean arboreal and shrub species that possess essential oils (EO) in their leaves and branches. This study aimed at characterizing the EOs obtained by steam distillation from the three species collected in different locations from Spain (Almazán, Andévalo, Barriomartín, Cerezal, Ermitas and Huéscar). For this purpose, volatiles composition was determined by GC-MS, and different bioactivities were evaluated. The highest content in terpenes was observed in C. sempervirens (Huéscar origin) followed by J. communis (Almazán origin), corresponding to 92% and 91.9% of total compounds, respectively. With exception of C. ladanifer from Cerezal that presented viridiflorol as the most abundant compound, all the three species presented in common the α-pinene as the major compound. The EOs from C. ladanifer showed high antibacterial potential, presenting MIC values from 0.3 to 1.25 mg/mL. Concerning other bioactivities, C. ladanifer EO revealed an oxidation inhibition of 83%, while J. communis showed cytotoxicity in the MCF-7 cell line, and C. sempervirens and C. ladanifer EOs exhibited the highest potential on NCI-H460 cell lines. Nevertheless, some EOs revealed toxicity against non-tumoral cells but generally presented a GI50 value higher than that of the tumor cell lines.

“…The usage of contaminated wastewater to irrigate agricultural land has led to many diseases, infections, and allergies not only for humans but also for crops and animals (Yousaf et al 2016;Farid et al 2019). Industries discharged their wastes mainly in the form of effluents, air emission, and solid waste and these wastes contain different heavy metals (Pandey et al, 2020;Yu et al 2019). At current stage, major three remediation categories are under consideration such as chemical, physical, and biological remediation techniques (Rawat et al 2020).…”

“…The most promising and extensively used aromatic plants for phytoremediation had been identified from families Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Poaceae, and Geraniaceae (Kumar and Patra 2012). M. piperita belongs to Lamiaceae family with common name peppermint, a popular herb which can be used in many forms such as leaf extract, oil extract, and leaf water (Pandey et al, 2020;Kumar and Patra 2012). Less is known regarding the potential of M. piperita to accumulate Ni and the role of CA in the alluviation of Ni toxicity in this plant.…”

Phytoremediation is considered one of the well-established and sustainable techniques for the removal of heavy metals and metalloids from contaminated sites. The metal extraction ability of the plants can be enhanced by using suitable organic materials in combination with metal-tolerant plants. This experiment was carried out to investigate the phytoextraction potential of Mentha piperita L. for nickel (Ni) with and without citric acid (CA) amendment in hydroponic experiment. The experiment was performed in controlled glass containers with continuous aeration in complete randomized design (CRD). Juvenile M. piperita plants were treated with different concentrations of Ni (100, 250, and 500 μM) alone and/or combined with CA (5 mM). After harvesting the plants, the morpho-physiological and biochemical attributes as well as Ni concentrations in different tissues of M. piperita plants were measured. Results revealed that Ni stress significantly decreased the plant agronomic traits, photosynthesis in comparison to control. Nickel stress enhanced the antioxidant enzymes activities and caused the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in M. piperita. The CA treatment under Ni stress significantly improved the plant morpho-physiological and biochemical characteristics when compared with Ni treatments alone. The results demonstrated that CA enhanced the Ni concentrations in roots, stems, and leaves up to 138.2%, 54.2%, and 38%, respectively, compared to Ni-only-treated plants. The improvement in plant growth with CA under Ni stress indicated that CA is beneficial for Ni phytoextraction by using tolerant plant species. Keywords Accumulation . Antioxidant enzymes . Citric acid . Mentha piperita . Nickel . Phytoremediation Significance of research work Reported results provided hopeful outcomes and sustainable fate of Ni phytoextraction. The present study confirmed the ecotoxicity of Ni in M. piperita and the efficacy of CA amendment to enhance the Ni bioavailability in culture media and to alleviate Ni-induced ecotoxicity. M. piperita significantly accumulate Ni under CA amendment as confirmed from the results.

“…O uso dos produtos à base de plantas medicinais surge como uma forte tendência mundial, 30% dos medicamentos vendidos em todo o mundo contêm compostos derivados de materiais vegetais. Esse setor é considerado um mercado promissor com números expressivos, tornando-se um ambiente de negócio atrativo com aumento da oferta e demanda de plantas medicinais; entretanto, o sistema produtivo encontra-se deficiente e despreparado para atender a esse novo mercado (PANDEY et al, 2020;WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, 2008).…”

“…Plantas irrigadas podem compensar o baixo teor de princípios ativos com maior produção de biomassa, o que resulta em maior rendimento final de princípios ativos por área (PANDEY et al, 2020). Como exemplo de estudos temos em pimenteira, Azevedo et al (2005) observaram o aumento da produtividade com uso de lâminas crescentes de irrigação.…”

Agricultura irrigada no Brasil: inovação, empreendedorismo e sistemas de produção

A evolução da tecnologia da irrigação associada aos aspectos agronômicos permitiu um avanço no entendimento do sistema de produção e, com isso, o desenvolvimento da agricultura irrigada, onde a produção vegetal está associada a um novo paradigma, envolvendo a escolha de uma rotação de cultura adequada do ponto de vista agronômico, comercial e da sustentabilidade. O sistema de produção passou a exigir diferentes estratégias caracterizando que a agricultura irrigada é distinta da agricultura de sequeiro mais aplicação de água. Questiona-se não só o que plantar, mas também qual variedade cultivada seria mais adequada a disponibilidade permanente da água, possibilidade de organizar o calendário de cultivos com vista a um melhor atendimento do mercado, novos critérios de planejamento da fertilização da cultura e dos tratamentos fitossanitários, com o uso da quimigação como uma das suas principais tecnologias que é a fertirrigação. Para isso, foi fundamental o incentivo e a apropriação das inovações que cada dia permitem uma melhor condução e acompanhamento do sistema produtivo. Os temas inovação, empreendedorismo e sistemas de produção sem vírgula são tratados dentro das diferentes abordagens da agricultura irrigada no Brasil, constituindo uma importante contribuição para o desenvolvimento sustentável da agricultura irrigada brasileira e mundial.
