PGPRs and nitrogen-fixing legumes: a perfect team for efficient Cd phytoremediation?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic, biologically non-essential and highly mobile metal that has become an increasingly important environmental hazard to both wildlife and humans. In contrast to conventional remediation technologies, phytoremediation based on legume-rhizobia symbiosis has emerged as an inexpensive decontamination alternative which also revitalize contaminated soils due to the role of legumes in nitrogen cycling. In recent years, there is a growing interest in understanding symbiotic legume-rhizobia relationship and its interactions with Cd. The aim of the present review is to provide a comprehensive picture of the main effects of Cd in N2-fixing leguminous plants and the benefits of exploiting this symbiosis together with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria to boost an efficient reclamation of Cd-contaminated soils.

Phytoremediation of heavy and transition metals aided by legume-rhizobia symbiosis.
Legumes are important for nitrogen cycling in the environment and agriculture due to the ability of nitrogen fixation by rhizobia. In this review, we introduce an important and potential role of legume-rhizobia symbiosis in aiding phytoremediation of some metal contaminated soils as various legumes have been found to be the dominant plant species in metal contaminated areas. Resistant rhizobia ...
متن کاملRank influences human sex differences in dyadic cooperation
In marked contrast, around 16,000 species within the 650–700 genera of legumes have been identified as forming nitrogen-fixing symbioses with rhizobia. If such diversity is taken as a measure of evolutionary success or fitness, the legume family within the Fabales has been considerably more successful than any other family of nodulating plants in the closely-related orders. Why is it that nitro...
متن کاملNitrogen Fixing Enzymes in Black Gram
Nitrogen fixed by legumes is the main nitrogen source in organic farming systems. The design of crop rotation is strongly depending on the knowledge of how much nitrogen is fixed by legumes. Also for farm scale budgeting of Nitrogen it is essential to know the amount of Nitrogen fixed by the single leguminous crop. According to the literature, the determination of Nitrogen fixation is expensive...
متن کاملNodulation of legumes by members of the beta-subclass of Proteobacteria.
Members of the Leguminosae form the largest plant family on Earth, with around 18,000 species. The success of legumes can largely be attributed to their ability to form a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with specific bacteria known as rhizobia, manifested by the development of nodules on the plant roots in which the bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen, a major contributor to the global nitrogen cycle. ...
متن کاملPhytoremediation Potential of Corn and Oat for Increased Levels of Soil Cadmium under Different Irrigation Intervals
The present pot experiment was undertaken to investigate the phytoremediation potential of corn and oat in soil. Treatments consisted of four cadmium (Cd) levels (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg l 1) and three irrigation intervals (1, 3 and 7 days), arranged in the form of a complete randomized design with three replications. Corn and oat were harvested after 75 and 90 days, respectively. Transpiration rate...
