“…No detectable amount of heavy metals was found in the oil of O. basilicum. Similar results were reported by other workers (Prasad et al, 2010;Pandey et al, 2007). Correlation analysis revealed that CEC affect the biomass and oil yield of plant.…”

“…This mint species contained also significantly more β-pinene and α-pinene, as well as 1-octen-3-ol than other mint species studied. In other studies (Rao, 1999;Rao et al, 1999;Pandey et al, 2003;Hussain et al, 2010a;Pandey et al, 2010;Prasad et al, 2010) menthol was determined as a principal compound of M. arvensis oil but cis-β-ocimene was not found. The ocimenes-rich M. arvensis chemotype was determined by us for the first time.…”

The content and composition of essential oils in leaves of Mentha × piperita L., M. spicata L., M. arvensis L., and M. longifolia (L.) Huds. from Estonia were investigated using hydrodistillation and GC-MS analyses. Some chemosystematic markers for the identification of Mentha species are presented. The essential oil yield of the studied species was 2.4-3.0%, 0.9-2.3%, 0.9-1.4%, and 0.7-2.5%, respectively. From the isolated essential oils, 75, 89, 67, and 69 compounds were identified and quantitatively evaluated, representing 92.2-99.5% of the total oil. The main constituents of M. × piperita oils were menthol (26.4-47.7%) and menthone (13.6-31.9%); the ratio of their content was usually between 1 and 3. Four chemotypes of M. spicata were determined: rich in carvone (62.1-67.4%), rich in piperitenone oxide (61.9%), rich in α-terpinyl acetate + trans-β-caryophyllene (61.9% and 11.4%, respectively), and rich in acetic acid,1-methyl-1-(4-methyl-5-oxo-cyclohex-3-enyl) ethyl ether (6.5%). The last two chemotypes were determined for the first time. Only the essential oils of M. arvensis were found to contain trans-1-octen-3-ol (3.8-7.7%) and neryl propionate (2.4% in both samples). Good chemosystematic markers for M. arvensis were also trans-(16.0-19.1%) and cis-β-ocimene (16.0-20.5%). The ocimene-rich chemotype was found by us for the first time. The chemosystematics of M. longifolia was found to be the most complicated, as many chemotypes have been determined by us and several other authors. In this study, a high concentration of carvone (51.4-57.6%) was characteristic of all analysed M. longifolia samples.

“…CrVI caused delays in growth and changes in metabolic processes of Zea mays L. (Poaceae) at 100 ppm (mg kg -1 ) level in soil (Labra et al, 2006). Prasad et al (2010) determined that essential oil and fresh herbage yields were affected when mint species (i.e. Mentha arvensis L., M. piperita L., and M. citrata L. -all listed species are from Lamiaceae family) were exposed to CrVI at 30-60 mg kg -1 concentrations in soil.…”

“…There is a dearth of toxicological studies dealing with native species shaping natural communities (Olszyk et al, 2008;Prasad et al, 2010). With regards to chromium, many studies were more concerned with the effects of hexavalent chromium on crops and economically important herbs (Lahouti & Peterson, 1979;Zayed et al, 1998;Sharma et al, 2005;Zou et al, 2006;Gill & Saggoo, 2010;Stasinos & Zabetakis, 2013) since the hexavalent form is more harmful at lower concentrations compared to the trivalent form.…”

Evaluating trivalent chromium (CRIII) toxicity on wild terrestrial plants

Elevated chromium levels in soil from mining can impact the environment, including plants. Extensive chromite-ore deposits have been discovered in the Ring of Fire region, thus mining may increase. Chromium toxicity on wild plants is poorly understood. Concentration-response experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of chromium on terrestrial plants. Using artificial soil, seeds of 32 species were exposed to chromium (CrIII) at concentrations (0-1000 mg/kg) simulating contamination levels.Many plants were not affected at low concentrations, yet higher concentrations were harmful to all species. Secondly, seedbank soils were collected in four habitats near the Ring of Fire and were exposed to chromium at equivalent concentrations as before. More seeds germinated from the lakeshore, with reductions in species/seedlings numbers as chromium increased. This was similar for the upland. This study represents the first step in understanding effects of chromium on plants and could form the basis for risk assessments.iii
