Enhanced Accumulation of Copper and Lead in Amaranth (Amaranthus paniculatus), Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea) and Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
BACKGROUND Soil contamination by copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) is a widespread environmental problem. For phytoextraction to be successful and viable in environmental remediation, strategies that can improve plant uptake must be identified. In the present study we investigated the use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer as an efficient way to enhance accumulation of Cu and Pb from contaminated industrial so...
متن کاملAnalysis of transgenic Indian mustard plants for phytoremediation of metal-contaminated mine tailings.
Transgenic Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] plants overproducing the enzymes gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (ECS) or glutathione synthetase (GS) were shown previously to have increased levels of the metal-binding thiol peptides phytochelatins and glutathione, and enhanced Cd tolerance and accumulation. Furthermore, transgenic Indian mustard plants overexpressing adenosine triphos...
متن کاملHeavy metal removal from municipal sewage sludges by phytoextractio
In European Union countries up to 80% of sewage sludge is used in agriculture and forestry, whereas in Poland only 11% is used as fertilizer. The principal environmental concern is the inevitable presence of heavy metals when using sewage sludge as fertilizer. The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the phytoextraction process in removing heavy metals from sludges. A ...
متن کاملEffect of EDTA and DTPA on Phytoremediation of Pb-Zn Contaminated Soils by Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh and Effect on Treatment Time
In this research a pot experiment was carried out to investigate the remediation ability of E. camaldulensis Dehnh inLead-Zinc (Pb-Zn) contaminated soil. The study also investigated the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) and diethylenetrinitrilopentaacetic acid (DTPA) on the phytoremediation efficiency of the plant species, andharvest time as a suitable dose of chelating agents wa...
متن کاملThe Effect of EDTA on Maize Seedlings Response to Cd-Induced Stress
The possibility of utilizing plants for soil decon tamination of heavy metals received more and more interest in recent years. Plants useful for phytoremediation should be characterized by a high biomass production and by accumulation of high amounts of metals in easily harvested shoots (Blaylock et al., 1997). These conditions are ful filled by some cultivars of Indian mustard (Bras sica ju...
