“…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.…”

“…Koppitke et al (2007) reported that the growth of signal grass (Bracharia decumbens) and rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) decreased with the activity of Pb 2+ in nutrient solution, and signal grass was considerably more tolerant to Pb 2+ than rhode grass. Pande (2007) demonstrated that the application of Cr (10-40 mg kg −1 soil) increased the herb yield and bacoside content in brahmi (Bacopa monnieri). Murch et al (2003) reported that the presence of nickel (Ni) in a culture environment decreased the concentration of secondary metabolites (pseudohypericin and hypericin) in a medicinal plant [St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.)].…”

The effects of heavy metals [chromoium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni)] on the yield, khusimol content in the essential oil, accumulation of metals, and rhizosphere microflora of vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides) were studied in a pot experiment. The shoot yield and khusimol content in oil of vetiver were enhanced by the application of moderate amount of metals to soils. The application of Cr, Pb, and Ni had deleterious effects on the root and essential oil yield. The application of high levels of metals to soil had harmful effects on the bacterial and fungal counts in the rhizosphere. The concentrations of metals such as Cr, Cd, Pb, and Ni in shoot and root tissues were significantly enhanced by the application of those metals to soils. It can be concluded that the vetiver could be used as a promising crop for revegetation, soil remediation, and production of better quality essential oil in metal-contaminated soils.

“…However, the differences among control (T 1 ) and nitrate-only controls (N 1 , N 2 , N 3 ) were observed non-significant on influencing root biomass (F = 0.0356) and shoot biomass (F = 0.0046) of the plant. While different levels of Pb significantly (P \ 0.0001) diminished both root and shoot dry biomass of the plant, the present study clearly showed ameliorative role of VC on the biomass yield (Chand et al 2012;Pande et al 2007). The combined application of 10 mg/kg Pb along with S also enhanced the root and shoot dry biomass production which were observed 1.17 and 4.12 g/pot, resulted in 9.72 and 7.85 % increase over the respective control (N 1 ), respectively, indicating ameliorative role of sulphur addition in pots (Dede et al 2012).…”

The natural potential of Chrysanthemum indicum L. for the clean-up of lead-contaminated soil was investigated under pot experiment. Maximum applied lead (at 50 mg/kg) caused significant reduction in the plant height (31.71 %), root length (31.15 %) and dry biomass (32.71 and 41.25 % for root and shoot, respectively); however, minimum applied lead (at 10 mg/kg) promoted the growth of plants to some extent, over the respective control pots. Lead concentration in the tissues followed the order as root[shoot[flower. The combinatorial treatment T 16 (50 mg/kg Pb, 0.8 g/kg elemental sulphur and 6 g/kg vermicompost) caused maximum concentration of lead in root, shoot and flower up to the extent of 43.58, 22.45 and 9.62 mg/kg, respectively, leading to the maximum bioaccumulation factor (0.38). However, the combinatorial treatment T 4 (sulphur and vermicompost) showed maximum translocation factor (0.63) and T 12 (20 mg/kg lead, 0.8 g/kg elemental sulphur and 6 g/kg vermicompost) produced maximum remediation ratio (0.153). The combinatorial treatments under lead-contaminated (10-50 mg/ kg) soils showed higher remediation efficiency indicating enhanced clean-up of the aforesaid soils through C. indicum L. Applied lead ([20 mg/kg) altered the chlorophylla, chlorophyll-b and carotenoid contents of the plants. Hence, the authors conclude that a non-edible ornamental plant, C. indicum L., is preferred to be safely grown in moderately lead-contaminated soils along with application of elemental sulphur and vermicompost, which will boost the photosynthetic pigments of the plants, leading to enhanced clean-up of the lead-contaminated soil.
