“…Free proline can still maintain a higher concentration. These findings are correlated with work of Jayasri et al (2017). Their study of Pb stress on Lemna minor demonstrated that the decomposition of soluble protein accelerated under adverse circumstances and separated into various amino acid including free proline, etc., resulting in the rise of proline content.…”

To evaluate physiological changes of Japanese honeysuckle under lead and cadmium stress, pot-plant experiment was adopted to discover heavy metal Pb or Cd single stress and Pb+Cd combined stress on part of physiological parameters of. Japanese honeysuckle. The results showed that under the same treatment, as time prolonged, the content of soluble sugar and soluble protein was decreased, the activity of SOD declined, the amount of free proline and MDA increased and the activity of CAT elevated. Under Pb stress only, total Chlorophyll content rose first and dropped afterwards and POD activity increased, however, under Cd stress only and Pb+Cd stress, both THCL content and POD activity first rose and then declined. In addition, under Pb or Cd single stress and combined stress, as treatment concentration increased, the contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein, free proline and MDA increased accompanied by POD, CAT and SOD activity increased while TCHL content decreased. All these indicate that under certain range of heavy metal stress, Japanese honeysuckle can reduce metabolic disorder plant damage caused by heavy metal stress through increasing osmotic regulating substances of leaves and inducing scavenging system of active oxygen.

“…Long et al [54] reported that shoot growth was significantly inhibited and shoot fresh weight decreased at Zn concentrations above 200 mg Lfor Chinese cabbage, pakchoi and celery. However, exposure of plant with zinc heavy metal in low concentration (10 mg/l) promotes Lemna minor growth, but it cause toxic effect at higher concentration (20 mg/l) [55]. When we evaluate the effects of different Zn concentrations on Zn accumulation in plant, maximum zinc accumulations were obtained in 10 and 30 mg/L Zn, respectively (18,788.82±217.14 mg/kg DW, 18,325.33±368.50 mg/kg DW) (Fig.…”

“…These effects on growth are generally linked to metal toxicity which may arise due to the metal binding to sulfhydryl groups in proteins which may inhibit their activity or affect their structure. Metals may also cause the displacement of essential elements, which results in deficiency effects ( Jayasri and Suthindhiran, 2017 ).…”

Rapid industrialization and increasing population are continuously adding contaminants to our environment. Among those, heavy metals are considered to be one of the serious threats to the ecosystem due to their persistent nature. Microbe assisted phytoremediation is an effective tool for metal remediation as microbes enhance the metal availability and uptake to the host plants or reduce it by binding them intracellularly or extracellularly. An endophytic fungus, Trametes hirsuta , was isolated from Chenopodium album L. plant growing in the lead (Pb) contaminated soil of an industrial area. This is the first study citing Trametes hirsuta , as a root endophyte of Chenopodium album L. This endophytic fungus was found to be tolerant to high concentration of Pb i.e., 1500 mg L −1 , when tested in-vitro . Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings were infected by Trametes hirsuta and Pb tolerance was observed. With the fungal inoculation plants cumulative growth and total chlorophyll content increased by 24% and 18%, respectively as compared to their respective non-inoculated controls at 1000 mg kg −1 Pb. Similary, 50% more Pb accumulation was measured in the shoots of fungal inoculated plants at 1500 mg kg −1 Pb as compared to control. Thus, the results of the present study suggest that mutualism with endophytic fungi can improve the survival of host plants in metal contaminated soils, additionally it can also assist the phytoextraction of heavy metals from polluted sites by increasing their uptake by the host plants.
