“…Delfine et al (1999) also found that chlorophyll a and b ratio increases and decrease in total chlorophyll contents in salt stressed spinach leaves after certain periods. Thus, the increased chlorophyll a and carotenoid levels in the As-treated leaves is probably a part of a strategy adopted by the plant to counteract the toxic effects of the free radicals generated under As stress; a finding that agrees with other reports on other aquatic plants (Aslan et al, 2003).…”

Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are noxious and carcinogenic pollutants that can be removed from water by using emerging, ecofriendly, phytofiltration technology that employs Micranthemum umbrosum. After culturing M. umbrosum for 7 days in a hydroponic experiment, accumulation of 1219±44.11 µg As g -1 and 799.40±30.95 µg Cd g -1 were observed in the leaves, from 1000 µg As L -1 and 1000 µg Cd L -1 of water, respectively. Plant and water samples were analyzed for assessing the As and Cd accumulations, translocations, phytotoxic effects, uptake mechanisms and kinetics, and for evaluating the potential of M. umbrosum in As and Cd phytofiltration. The uptake pattern was leaf > stem > root for both pollutants. The plant showed higher resistance toAs than to that to Cd. Uptake of inorganic As species was much greater than that of organic As and was found at above the substrate concentration. However, Cd showed similar uptake pattern to that of inorganic As species, and the data was better fit to a non-linear than a linear model. Low molecular weight substances that have thiol group(s) may be responsible for the binding of As in plants whereas Cd showed a different mechanism to that of As. M. umbrosum showed good As phytofiltration capabilities without any phytotoxic effects, but it was found to be a moderate accumulator of Cd with some phytotoxic effect compare to some other previously studied plant.

“…In another study by Zurayk et al (2001b), Cr accumulation in N. officinale during the 14 d cultivation period increased as the initial metal concentration (0 -8 mg L À 1 ) in solution increased. Other authors that studied metal uptake by N. officinale found similar results (Aslan et al, 2003;Kara, 2002;Saygideger and Dogan, 2005). Kara (2005) examined the bioaccumulation of Cu, Zn and Ni by N. officinale and found that Cu accumulated more effectively that Zn or Ni.…”

“…This is in line with our results. Although not essential for plant growth, Cd 2 þ ions are readily taken up by roots and transported to the leaves in many plants (Aslan et al, 2003;Singh et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2007). The presence of Cd 2 þ in leaves depresses growth by affecting photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and nutrient uptake (Mishra and Tripathi, 2008).…”

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of Cd, Co and Cr on the growth of watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and to determine the bioaccumulation properties of these heavy metals by the plant. N. officinale individuals were exposed to different concentrations of Cd, Co and Cr for 72 h. Relative growth rates (RGR) and bioconcentration factor (BCF) ratios were calculated for each metal concentration. RGR values of plants exposed to Co slightly increased in lower concentrations, but then decreased again. In contrast, RGR values of plants exposed to Cd and Cr decreased linearly. Significant positive relationships were observed among the concentrations of Cd, Co and Cr in N. officinale and in the culture solution. BCF ratios were highest for plants exposed to Co, and lowest for plants exposed to Cr. The most efficient uptake of Cd, Co and Cr occurred at the external solution concentrations at 0.5, 0.5 and 10 mM, respectively.

“…The observed high correlation coeffi cient between the lead and zinc in the exchangeable form in soil could suggest that in different plant organs one can also notice apparent positive correlation between these metals. However, in the literature (Aslan et al 2003, Bolan et al 2003 there is emphasized the presence of antagonism between metals and macro-or microelements, therefore, this issue is illustrated by a series of engravings, that show the changes to the quotient of the contents of Pb/Zn in the tested plants as a function of Zn content changes Fig. 1-4.…”

Abstract:The article presents the results of research which describes antagonism between Pb-Zn in selected plant species from the area of Czestochowa -Mirow district (north-western part of the Czestochowa Upland). There were analyzed changes in the ratio of Pb/Zn in different organs of the tested plants as a function of the Zn content changes. The content of metals in the plants and the soil was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry AAS. In all organs of the plants there was observed antagonistic decrease of Pb uptake and accumulation, resulting from the increase in the concentration Zn.Antagonism between Zn and Pb in roots of the tested plants occurred at Zn content of 200-600 μg/g. In turn, antagonism in stems and fl owers occurred at lower contents of zinc (100-180 μg/g). In leaves, antagonism between Pb and Zn occurred when Zn was present at the level of 300-800 μg/g.Ex defi nition of the analyses confi rm the presence of antagonism of lead with regard to high levels of Zn. The study also confi rmed that the degree of antagonism depends on the plant species.
