“…Although this test was conducted in duplicate, Carr [42] found out that at 0.75% w/w of crude oil addition to the soil, the growth of soybeans was improved. Adieze et al [19] also recorded an increase in shoot height and weight of two of the plant species examined at 1% w/w oil-in-soil. This stimulating effect according to Plice [30] may be as a result of the bacterial breakdown of the hydrocarbons.…”

“…Furthermore, as plants like other organisms produce ROS in response to abiotic and biotic stresses [55], environmental contamination arising from PH reduce the availability of essential nutrients (like nitrogen and oxygen) required for plant growth [19,56], including water [57] owing to the surface covering of the plant roots by the hydrophobic contaminant, thereby enhancing the production of ROS and hence, oxidative stress in plants [55,58].…”

In many parts of the world, the agricultural sector is faced with a number of challenges including those arising from abiotic environmental stresses which are the key factors responsible for most reductions in agrifood production. Crude oil contamination, an abiotic stress factor and a common environmental contaminant, at toxic levels has negative impacts on plants. Although various attempts have been made to demonstrate the impact of abiotic stresses on crops, the underlying factors responsible for the effects of crude oil and its induced abiotic stresses on the composition of the stressed plants are poorly understood. Hence, this review provides an in-depth examination of the: (1) effect of petroleum hydrocarbons on plants; (2) impact of abiotic environmental stresses on crop quality; (3) mechanistic link between crude oil stress and its induced abiotic stresses; as well as (4) mode of action/plant response mechanism to these induced stresses. The paper clearly reveals the implications of crude oil-induced abiotic stresses arising from the soil-root-plant route and from direct application on plant leaves.

“…Most of these studies recorded reduced shoot biomass with increasing concentration of crude oil. However, shoot heights and weights were improved in 2 species at 1% w/w oil-in-soil (Adieze et al, 2012). Other reports indicated there were other responses due to presence of oil in soil.…”

“…Studies on effects of crude oil/PH on plants (Inckot et al, 2011;Adieze et al, 2012;Baruah et al, 2014), have mostly considered the impact on plant growth/yield while Chupakhina and Maslennikov (2004), Noori et al (2012) and Baruah et al (2014) considered the impact on a few crop quality parameters. Most of these studies recorded reduced shoot biomass with increasing concentration of crude oil.…”

Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) clean-up standards, intervention and/or target values, are designed to effectively manage introduction of toxic petroleum hydrocarbons into the environment. This research assessed the impact of some crude oil remediation intervention values, involving sub-lethal concentrations of crude oil, on yield and phytochemical contents of kale (Brassica oleracea L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Crude oil contamination within the range examined did not affect emergence; yield and phytochemical distributions were affected at some levels of contamination, particularly 10,000 mg•kg-1 TPH. There is the potential of TPH to moderate effects of crude oil at 10,000 mg•kg-1 to enhance contents of some phenolics and organic

“…Highly volatile hydrocarbons, primarily those that are small and lightweight, are able to move through cell membranes easily. Small hydrocarbon molecules, which penetrate into the plant, can cause toxic effects, which although acute, are generally short lived (*[10]; ADAM& DUNCAN [11]; LU & al [12]; MANZO [13]; ADIEZE & al [14]). For example, germination of seeds in diesel fuel contaminated soil is highly dependent on plant species.…”

Oil spill represents the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon (including its volatile fraction) into the environment, due to human activities like tankers, oil wells, off shore and terrestrial oil platforms. The goal of this paper was to identify potentially useful plant indicator species for ecological restoration and remediate of oil contaminated soils. The use of plant-based system to remediate contaminated soils has become an area of intense scientific study in recent years and it is apparent that plant which grow well in contaminated soils need to be identified and screened for use in phytoremediation technologies. Therefore, in this study the effect of crude oil on germination and seedling emergence of selected plant species was investigated.The objective was to determine if crude oil exerts detrimental effect to plants during early critical stages in their development. The detrimental effect growth was compared to the control after 14 days. Three grass species were tested: Festuca pratensis, Lolium perenne and Poa pratensis. We measured plant height, root length, and plant dry weight. Visual phyto-toxicity was also recorded in a laboratory experiment where seeds that germinated were photographed and morphological parts measured. In contaminated soil that was air-dried at 30°C and volatile compounds lost during the preparation of treatments, the inhibition effect was insignificant. The results indicate that the volatile compounds exert a significant inhibition effect on seed germination and seedling emergence compared tocrude oil. A concentration of 8 mg oil/g soil determined a decrease of about 50% of the biomass and a concentration of 32 mg oil/g soil a decrease of seed germination rate to about 50% for Poa pratensis. In this case the range 64-128 mg oil/g soil is critical to determine the EC50. The soil analyses indicated a content of sand (46%), silt (46%), clay (8%), TN (0.91± 0.12 mg/g dry soil), TP (0.26±0.08 mg/g dry soil), TK (6.81± 0.56 (mg/g dry soil); anda higher pollution with Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons TPH (C10-C40) (20 mg/g soil) at Ţintea site.
