Ecophysiological characteristics and cadmium accumulation in Downy Oak (Quercus pubescens Willd.)

Abstract: IntroduzioneL'inquinamento del suolo e dell'acqua da metalli pesanti, a causa delle attività antropiche, è un problema di primaria importanza a scala globale (KabataPendias & Pendias 1989). Il cadmio (Cd) è fra i metalli pesanti che suscitano maggiori preoccupazioni per la sua diffusione e tossicità nell'ambiente. Il Cd si diffonde nell'atmosfera a seguito della combustione di carburanti di origine fossile oltre che per l'uso di lubrificanti e per il consumo dei pneumatici. L'accumulo e il trasferimento di que… Show more

“…Indeed, the metal concentrations used in our micropropagation conditions were very high, in particular when considering that downy oak is not widely recognized as an efficient forest species for decontamination purposes. Nonetheless, its potential Cd accumulation is high, as detected in pot experiments (Cocozza et al 2012), and this might advocate its use in ecological restoration of polluted sites in marginal areas. Our results provide a preliminary evidence of the remediation potential of downy oak in vitro, although they should not be extrapolated to predict the effects of heavy metals on the growth of mature oak trees.…”

“…In the last ten years, research was focused on highly productive crop plants, such as crops, maize, sunflower, rice (Komarek et al 2007, Murakami & Ae 2009), as well as on short rotation forest trees, i.e., willow and poplar (Fernàndez-Martínez et al 2014, Baldantoni et al 2014. Phytoextraction carried out with the use of other woody plants can be extremely interesting for the restoration of contaminated sites, where environmental conditions are unsuitable for growing energy plants, as well as for their longer reproductive cycles (Paoletti & Günthardt-Goerg 2006, Cocozza et al 2012.…”
