“…The BCF means the ability of a plant species to uptake a metal into its root tissues from soil. The TF refers to the capacity of a plant to translocate the metal from its root to aerial parts [118][119][120]. The BCF and TF were calculated as follows: BCF = Metal concentration in plant tissue/metal concentration in soil (1) TF = Metal concentration in aerial tissue/Metal concentration in root (2)…”

A greenhouse pot trial was conducted to investigate the effect of organic amendments combined with triple superphosphate on the bioavailability of heavy metals (HMs), Amorpha fruticosa growth and metal uptake from Pb-Zn mine tailings. Cattle manure compost (CMC), spent mushroom compost (SMC) and agricultural field soil (AFS) were applied to tailings at 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% w/w ratio, whereas sewage sludge (SS) and wood biochar (WB) were mixed at 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 20% w/w ratio. Triple superphosphate (TSP) was added to all the treatments at 4:1 (molar ratio). Amendments efficiently decreased DTPA-extracted Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu in treatments. Chlorophyll contents and shoot and root dry biomass significantly (p < 0.05) increased in the treatments of CMC (except T4 for chlorophyll b) and SMC, whereas treatments of SS (except T1 for chlorophyll a and b), WB and AFS (except T4 for chlorophyll a and b) did not show positive effects as compared to CK1. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) values in plant tissues were below 1 for most treatments. In amended treatments, soluble protein content increased, phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) decreased, and catalase (CAT) activity showed varied results as compared to CK1 and CK2. Results suggested that A. fruticosa can be a potential metal phytostabilizer and use of CMC or SMC in combination with TSP are more effective than other combinations for the in situ stabilization of Pb-Zn mine tailings.

“…P. fasciculatum seedlings were cultured in mining soils doped with Cd and Pb metals and growth was monitored for 90 days and expressed in terms of biomass production (Figure 1), as was previously reported [14]. It was observed that the plants in the first 60 days of growth, showed a more significant growth than the plants in control soil ( p ≤ 0.05).…”

“…For P. fasciculatum, we previously measured its capabilities to change the bioavailability of Cd and Pb in doped mining soils with these metals, its growth and development in these soils contaminated and the metals bioaccumulation in their tissues [14]. As a result, P. fasciclulatum is a heavy metal tolerant plant that grows in mining, flooded and dry soils, which can bioaccumulate significant amounts of Cd and Pb and increases the content of organic matter and the pH in the rhizosphere.…”

“…P. fasciculatum Willd. ex Flüggé is a plant with phytoremediation potential, Cd-phytostabilizer and Pb-phytoextractor that can bioaccumulate large amounts of Cd and Pb in the roots [14]; however, toxic effects of these metals on its proteome are unknown. In order to gain insights into the effects and strategies of tolerance in this plant, we used proteomics redox approaches to measure the oxidative effects of Cd and Pb exposure during the growth of P. fasciculatum under controlled greenhouse conditions.…”

Heavy metal tolerant plants have phytoremediation potential for the recovery of contaminated soils, and the characterization of their metabolic adaptation processes is an important starting point to elucidate their tolerance mechanisms at molecular, biochemical and physiological levels. In this research, the effects of Cd and Pb on growth and protein carbonylation in tissues of Paspalum fasciculatum exposed to 30 and 50 mg·Kg−1 Cd and Pb respectively were determined. P. fasciculatum seedlings exposed to metals grew more than controls until 60 days of cultivation and limited their oxidative effects to a reduced protein group. Carbonyl indexes in leaf and root proteins reached a significant increase concerning their controls in plants exposed 30 days to Cd and 60 days to Pb. From the combined approach of Western Blot with Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and protein analysis by Matrix Asisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation-Time Of Flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) mass spectrometry, chloroplastic proteins were identified into the main oxidative stress-inducible proteins to Cd and Pb, such as subunits α, γ of ATP synthetase, Chlorophyll CP26 binding protein, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase and long-chain ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCO LSU). Cd generated damage in the photosynthetic machinery of the leaves of P. fasciculatum into the first 30 days of treatment; five of the oxidized proteins are involved in photosynthesis processes. Moreover, there was a proteolytic fragmentation of the RuBisCO LSU. Results showed that intrinsic tolerance of P. fasciculatum to these metals reached 60 days in our conditions, along with the bioaccumulating appreciable quantities of metals in their roots.

“…Application of 100 µM Cd also retarded the length of Miscanthus sacchariflorus roots [ 31 ]. In Paspalum fasciculatum grown in 15–50 mg/kg Cd contaminated soil, root biomass increased at 30 mg/kg, whereas stem and leaf biomass of all treated plants was similar to the control, at 30 days after sowing [ 32 ]. Further, as a hormetic response towards toxic Cd, root, stem, and leaf dry weights of L. japonica were increased by the application of 2.5, 2.5–5, and 2.5–25 Cd, respectively, in relation to the control [ 30 ].…”

Corchorus olitorius, a leafy vegetable with high nutrient content, is normally collected from the wild, in areas that are prone to cadmium (Cd) toxicity. However, studies on how Cd accumulation affects vegetative and reproductive traits of leafy vegetables in South Africa are limited. Therefore, this study tested the effect of Cd accumulation on C. olitorius morphological traits. Plants were grown under various Cd concentrations and studied for variation in vegetative and reproductive traits as well as accumulation in roots and shoots. Plants exposed to 5 mg/kg Cd had longer roots with higher moisture content, heavier fresh and dried stems, as well as dried leaves, which indicated a hormetic effect in C. olitorius after exposure to low Cd concentration in the soil. Again, plants treated with 5–10 mg/kg Cd, accumulated toxic (>10 mg/kg dry weight) Cd within shoots and roots, with minor morphological alterations. Plants could survive, with some morphological defects, Cd toxicity up to 20 mg/kg in soil. Only plants exposed to 5 mg/kg could reproduce. Cd accumulation increased with an increase in the soil, with higher accumulation in shoots. The translocation factor was high (>1) in all Cd concentrations. In conclusion, C. olitorius can accumulate toxic Cd, and yet grow and reproduce either normally or better than the control. The proposed dose of Cd that induces hormesis in C. olitorius is 5 mg/kg in the soil. Therefore, C. olitorius is suitable for phytoremediation of Cd contaminated soils, but unsafe for consumption when it grows in such areas.
