Lead Phyto extraction in the Huachipa Zoological Park through the use of Tagetes erecta associated with a mycorrhiza and EDTA

open access: yesPeruvian Journal of Agronomy, 2020
Phytoremediation is a potentially less costly approach to treat contaminated soil. Here, the phytoremediation capacity of marigold (Tagetes erecta) in conjunction with EDTA and mycorrhizae was analyzed.

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Strategies for Mitigating Seasonal Heavy Metal Release in River Sediments Using Natural Mineral‐Based Materials

open access: yesEnvironmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents an ecological and geochemical assessment of trace element contamination in the Huyva River (Ukraine), a right tributary of the Teteriv River that supplies drinking water to Zhytomyr and nearby settlements. The research involved monitoring key physicochemical parameters, including pH, mineralization, hardness, and major ion ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 390-405, March 2026.
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

Synchrotron Micro‐X‐Ray Fluorescence Elemental Imaging Reveals Zinc Distribution in the Hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola (Crassulaceae)

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Sedum plumbizincicola is a zinc‐cadmium hyperaccumulator native to China with high potential for use in phytoremediation. Synchrotron micro‐X‐ray fluorescence elemental imaging shows that zinc is localized in the leaf tips, petioles, and nodes with the highest Zn concentrations observed in the epidermis and vascular system of both leaves and stems ...

Effects of nitrate to ammonium ratio and nitrogen level on growth of an invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides in cadmium polluted water

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our findings suggest that nitrogen level and the ratio of nitrate to ammonium have an interaction effect on the overall growth of Alternanthera philoxeroides in Cd polluted water. We argue that when considering the growth of this invasive species in Cd polluted water, it is equally important to consider both the effects of nitrate to ammonium ratio and

Effect of EDTA treatment method on leaching of Pb and Cr by Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steudel (common reed)

open access: yesCaspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2015
One of the major problems about the chelant-enhanced phytoextraction is the potential metal leaching associated with chelant application. A glasshouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate phytoextraction efficiency of common reed (Phragmites ...

Analysis of Mercury-Rich plants and mine tailings using the Hydride-Generation AAS method

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009
A hydride-generation atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) method was developed for the analysis of total Hg in liquid matrices of mercury-rich plants and mine tailings samples. The detection limit for this method was as low as 11.4 ng/mL.

Influence of Cadmium and Arbuscular Mycorrhizae on Growth and Chlorophyll Content in Theobroma cacao and Theobroma grandiflorum Plants

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has important benefits, not only for plant growth but also for reducing Cd absorption in Theobroma plants. This study aimed to investigate the influence of cadmium (Cd) and arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) on growth and chlorophyll content (CC) in Theobroma plants.
