“…Additionally, the oxidative stress occurring as a result of Cd toxicity can bring about various damages to cell compartments and compounds such as DNA, RNA, and different types of proteins (Riasat et al 2019). In concordance with our results, Huang et al (2019) reported lower protein content in Amaranthus spinosus plants treated with Cd. Meanwhile, Subiramani et al (2019), in agreement with our results, corroborated the in uence of SNP on inducing higher contents of total phenols and carotenoid.…”

“…Lower transpiration rate, immobility of water molecules, and a lower rate of essential nutrients uptake by root leads to a reduction in photosynthesis and therefore lower plant growth and production. By the negative and damaging effects of Cd on growth and plant production in the current study, some other studies regarding Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. (Zou et al 2020), Amaranthus mangostanus (Chi et al 2019), and Amaranthus spinosus (Huang et al 2019) plants have been also published.…”

This study aimed to appraise the crosstalk between sodium nitroprusside (SNP), as a source of nitric oxide (NO), and cadmium (Cd) toxicity on growth and physiological traits in Amaranth tricolor L. by using different multivariate statistical methods. The results showed that growth-related traits of A. tricolor were significantly reduced (p<0.05) under Cd stress. Contrarily, Cd treatments increased lipid peroxidation and reduced total protein content. Delving on the results of SNP application showed the suitability of its medium level (100 µM) on increasing the growth-related traits and also plant tolerance to Cd stress via lowering the lipid peroxidation and radical molecules production due to the higher activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. Increasing the amount of Cd in roots and shoots, as the results of Cd treatment, reduced the growth and production of A. tricolor plants by high rates (over 50% in 60 mg kg-1 Cd level) indicating its susceptibility to high Cd toxicity. Contrarily, treating plants with NO showed no effect on shoot Cd content, while it significantly increased Cd allocation in the root, which might be attributable to the protective effect of NO on Cd toxicity by trapping Cd in the root. Subsequently, the application of a medium level of SNP (around 100 µM) is recommendable for A. tricolor plant to overcome the negative impacts of Cd toxicity.

“…In addition, soils presenting acid sulfate characteristics limit the availability of nutrients and inhibit the absorption of exchangeable bases for plants affecting their growth, development, and productivity [ 86 , 87 , 88 ]. Other studies have shown the reduction of biomass, plant height, stem diameter, and the number of leaves in different species due to stress caused by PTEs [ 4 , 83 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 ]. However, Salas and Marrugo [ 22 ] and Dinu et al [ 93 ], in their studies of Cd and Pb exposure of P. fasciculatum and Ocimum basilicum L. species, respectively, induced a greater plant height in soils with higher concentration compared to the control, and even the decrease in stem diameter and the number of leaves was minimal, indicating the stimulation of plant growth at higher concentration of PTEs; explaining the results obtained for T3.…”

Soils contaminated by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) as a result of anthropogenic activities such as mining are a problem due to the adverse effects on human and environmental health, making it necessary to seek sustainable strategies to remediate contaminated areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the species Clidemia sericea D. Don for the phytoremediation of soils contaminated with PTEs (Hg, Pb, and Cd) from gold mining activities. The study was conducted for three months, with soils from a gold mining area in northern Colombia, and seeds of C. sericea, under a completely randomized experimental design with one factor (concentration of PTEs in soil) and four levels (control (T0), low (T1), medium (T2), and high (T3)), each treatment in triplicate, for a total of twelve experimental units. Phytotoxic effects on plants, bioconcentration (BCF), and translocation (TF) factors were determined. The results obtained for the tissues differed in order of metal accumulation, with the root showing the highest concentration of metals. The highest values of bioconcentration (BCF > 1) were presented for Hg at T3 and Cd in the four treatments; and of translocation (TF > 1) for Hg and Pb at T0 and T1; however, for Pb, the TF indicates that it is transferable, but it is not considered for phytoextraction. Thus, C. sericea demonstrated its potential as a phytostabilizer of Hg and Cd in mining soils, strengthening as a wild species with results of resistance to the stress of the PTEs evaluated, presenting similar behavior and little phytotoxic affectation on the growth and development of each of the plants in the different treatments.

“…Plants were proposed for treating the wastewater around 300 years ago ( Hartman, 1975 ). Presently a number of plant species such as Amaranthus spinosus, A. hypochondriacus Chrysopogon zizanioides, Brassica juncea , Ricinus communis, Chromolaena odorata, Ageratum conyzoides, Ipomoea carnea, Prosopis juliflora, Lantana camara, Parthenium hysterophorus, Fagopyrum esculentum, Odontarrhena chalcidica, Tagetes patula, T. erecta, and Odontarrhena chalcidica, have been identified which helpremediate HM contaminated soil ( Bauddh and Singh, 2012 ; Bauddh and Singh, 2015 ; Huang et al, 2019 ; Chen et al, 2020a ; Raza et al, 2020 ; Biswal et al, 2021 ; Cui et al, 2021 ; Gonzaga et al, 2021 ; Nugroho et al, 2021 ; Singh et al, 2021 ). In addition, plants like Nicotiana tabacum , Arabidopsis thaliana, Beta vulgaris and Sedum alfredii have been genetically modified with suitable bacterial genes from Caenorhabditis elegans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Streptococcus thermophilus, Pseudomonas fuorescens and employed for remediating the targeted contaminants ( Daghan et al, 2013 ; Liu et al, 2015a ; Wang et al, 2019 ; Nedjimi, 2021 ).…”

Soil contamination with heavy metals (HMs) is a serious concern for the developing world due to its non-biodegradability and significant potential to damage the ecosystem and associated services. Rapid industrialization and activities such as mining, manufacturing, and construction are generating a huge quantity of toxic waste which causes environmental hazards. There are various traditional physicochemical techniques such as electro-remediation, immobilization, stabilization, and chemical reduction to clean the contaminants from the soil. However, these methods require high energy, trained manpower, and hazardous chemicals make these techniques costly and non-environment friendly. Bioremediation, which includes microorganism-based, plant-based, microorganism-plant associated, and other innovative methods, is employed to restore the contaminated soils. This review covers some new aspects and dimensions of bioremediation of heavy metal-polluted soils. The bioremediation potential of bacteria and fungi individually and in association with plants has been reviewed and critically examined. It is reported that microbes such as Pseudomonas spp., Bacillus spp., and Aspergillus spp., have high metal tolerance, and bioremediation potential up to 98% both individually and when associated with plants such as Trifolium repens, Helianthus annuus, and Vallisneria denseserrulata. The mechanism of microbe’s detoxification of metals depends upon various aspects which include the internal structure, cell surface properties of microorganisms, and the surrounding environmental conditions have been covered. Further, factors affecting the bioremediation efficiency and their possible solution, along with challenges and future prospects, are also discussed.
