“…Cd can enter root cells as Cd 2+ through ZIP (zinc regulated transporter/iron regulated transporter-like protein) transporters or as Cd-chelates through YSL (Yellow-Stripe 1-Like) proteins [33]. Some investigations have proven that the ZIP family transporters participate in Cd absorption and accumulation in plants [34]; in our work, the selected gene ZIP4 was not significantly regulated (Figure 5) in response to Cd treatment. Yamaguchi et al [35] also found that genes coding for ZIP transporters did not change their expression patterns in Solanum torvum roots during treatment with low Cd concentrations and they postulated that the absence of changes in these metal transporters may explain why the mild Cd exposure did not induce serious competitive inhibitory effects on metal ion homeostasis in roots.…”

Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are two toxic heavy metals (HMs) whose presence in soil is generally low. However, industrial and agricultural activities in recent years have significantly raised their levels, causing progressive accumulations in plant edible tissues, and stimulating research in this field. Studies on toxic metals are commonly focused on a single metal, but toxic metals occur simultaneously. The understanding of the mechanisms of interaction between HMs during uptake is important to design agronomic or genetic strategies to limit contamination of crops. To study the single and combined effect of Cd and Pb on durum wheat, a hydroponic experiment was established to examine the accumulation of the two HMs. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms activated in the roots were investigated paying attention to transcription factors (bHLH family), heavy metal transporters and genes involved in the biosynthesis of metal chelators (nicotianamine and mugineic acid). Cd and Pb are accumulated following different molecular strategies by durum wheat plants, even if the two metals interact with each other influencing their respective uptake and translocation. Finally, we demonstrated that some genes (bHLH 29, YSL2, ZIF1, ZIFL1, ZIFL2, NAS2 and NAAT) were induced in the durum wheat roots only in response to Cd.

“…Means±SE, n = 3. radii (0.099 nm and 0.097 nm, respectively) and compete for the same Ca channels in plants [36]. Shortly after Cd enters the cytoplasm, it binds to certain sites in the root tip apoplast, affecting the function of the plasma lemma pumps transporting Ca ions and resulting in the interference of Ca uptake [7]. The results here showed that the exogenous 5 mmol/L Ca could decrease the Cd levels significantly (P<0.05) in the organs of S. matsudana exposed to all Cd concentrations used during the whole experiment, revealing that Ca had the alleviating toxic effects on the seedling growth stressed by Cd.…”

“…These traits make it a potential ideal candidate for phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated waters and soils [18,20]. Some research works were reported to be involved in Cd stress on mineral uptake and accumulation in S. matsudana [7,20,21]. However, the research on the effects of Ca on other metal accumulation and translocation in S. matsudana under Cd stress remains unknown.…”

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic trace element mainly derived from industrial processes and phosphate fertilizers [1]. Cd concentrations in soil near smelters are extremely high, up to 200 mg/kg [2]. Considerable attention has been attached to problems associated with Cd pollution, with the development of modern industry and agriculture. It is a non-essential heavy metal with high toxicity to plants, animals and humans [3] and has been regarded as most dangerous environmental pollutant [4]. Cd is of great concern because it is a nonessential toxic element which has toxic effects on plants, animals and humans with a very small dose [5]. Under Cd stress, growth and development of plants are affected, such as inhibiting photosynthesis and respiration, disturbing the normal division of root tip cells, and causing imbalances in nutrition

“…The dynamic balance of these heavy metals, their toxicity and insufficiency contents are especially important for the cells. Remediation of Cd with Salix matsudana plant was investigated in a study by Wu et al [35]. Stress upon 50 μM Cd resulted in decrease in Fe (34.1%), Zn (40.7), Mn (60.1%) and Ca (26.5%).…”

In this study, the capability of the basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) plant as hyper accumulator in remediation of polluted soils was investigated. The study was carried out as pot trials under controlled conditions. Increasing concentrations of EDDHA-Fe (0 mgkg -1 , 25 mgkg -1 , 50 mgkg -1 , 150 mgkg -1 , 250 mgkg -1 ) were applied. The basil seedlings germinated in viols were acclimated into pots in triplicates and harvested 2 months later. The agro-morphological traits, Fe accumulation in plants and plant nutritional elements were analysed. The basil plant was found to accumulate Fe in its body in the presence of toxic levels of Fe metal and Fe was found to be antagonistic with micro nutritional elements. The plant fresh and dry weights and plant height were found to be statistically significant at 50 mgkg -1 EDDHA-Fe application, and beyond this concentration, these values decreased. The Mg content, which is the central atom in chlorophyll, was found to be the highest at the mentioned concentration. SPAD values showed a parallel change, too. The basil plant was shown to be a hyperaccumulator in terms of remediation of the Fe metal, which is both a nutritional element and a heavy metal. Moreover, Fe fertilization of 50 mgkg -1 was shown to be sufficient for basil cultivation as a medicinal plant. This result was found to be statistically significant at α = 0.05.
