Review. Phytoremediation of organic pollutants
Phytoremediation consists of a set of innovative technologies for environmental cleanup that takes advantage of the unique extractive and metabolic capabilities of plants. This technology presents clear benefits over traditional methods, including wide applicability, ecological value and cost-effectiveness. Whereas organic pollutants can be degraded to less toxic forms by plants, or even minera...
متن کاملMetabolic Regulation of Leaf Senescence in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Plants
The leaf is the main photosynthetic organ of plants and its development a complex process governed by a combination of environmental factors and intrinsic and genetically regulated signals (Van Lijsebettens & Clarke, 1998). Usually, leaf ontogeny includes an early phase of increasing photosynthetic rates while the leaf is actively expanding, a mature phase where such rates peak and a senescence...
متن کاملEnt-Kaurene Biosynthesis in Extracts of Helianthus annuus L. Seedlings.
Kaurene synthetase B activity (conversion of copalyl pyrophosphate to ent-kaurene) is readily detectable in crude cell-free extracts of 3- to 4-day old dark-grown sunflower (Helianthus annuus cv. Mammoth) seedlings, whereas little or no kaurene synthetase AB activity (conversion of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to ent-kaurene) can be found in these extracts under comparable assay conditions. A l...
متن کاملHydraulic architecture of plants of Helianthus annuus L. cv. Margot: evidence for plant segmentation in herbs.
The hydraulic architecture of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Margot) was studied in terms of the partitioning of the hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) of leaves inserted at progressively more apical nodes both in growing plants (GP) and in plants at full anthesis (mature plants, MP). Leaf conductance to water vapour (gL), leaf water potential (PsiL), leaf water potential at zero turgor (Psi tl...
متن کاملEffects of antimony on redox activities and antioxidant defence systems in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants
The alterations induced by the toxicity of antimony (Sb) in the roots and leaves of sunflower plants were determined. The plants were grown hydroponically with different concentrations of Sb, a heavy metal which reduces biomass production and growth. There was preferential accumulation of Sb in the tissues of the roots, with the concentrations in the leaves being much lower. The accumulation of...
