Induction of in vitro roots cultures of Thypha latifolia and Scirpus americanus and study of their capacity to remove heavy metals

Abstract: Financial support:We are grateful to SHIGO-CONACYT (2002-060-205) for financial support and for the scholarship to MCBC (2002-020605 Heavy metals are toxic pollutants that have serious adverse effects on human health. They are toxic because can replace other essential metals in pigments or enzymes, disrupting the function of these molecules (Manios et al. 2003). Also because they may cause oxidative stress, especially transition metals as Fe 2+/3+ and Cu +/2+ (Rivetta et al. 1997).The removal of metals from … Show more

“…Furthermore, lead assembled in root parts was noticed under 0.6 and 0.8 mg L −1 lead only, with the last recording the highest lead amount reaching 0.627 mg kg −1 lead (Table 2). The findings of the current investigation oppose previous results on different plant species, as they noticed the assemblage of lead in both vegetative and root parts [15,16,18,20].…”

“…Treating in vitro root cultures of Scirpus americanus with 1.8 mg Mn L −1 (~0.033 mM) did not affect growth and yielded 5000 mg Mn kg −1 . This organism was found to be a Mn accumulator [ 40 ]. Tolerant somaclones developed from the calli of some indica rice varieties grew at 50–400 ppm Fe (~0.89–7.15 mM).…”
