    Climate Change and Aquatic Phytoremediation of Contaminants: Exploring the Future of Contaminant Removal

    Marcelo Pedrosa Gomes*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.9, pp. 2127-2147, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.056360 - 30 September 2024

    Abstract Climate change, driven by anthropogenic activities, profoundly impacts ecosystems worldwide, particularly aquatic environments. This review explores the multifaceted effects of climate change on the phytoremediation capabilities of aquatic plants, focusing on the physiological responses to key environmental factors such as temperature, carbone dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) levels, pH, salinity, and light intensity. As global temperatures rise, moderate increases can enhance photosynthesis and biomass production, boosting the plants’ ability to absorb and detoxify contaminants, such as metals, pharmaceuticals, and nutrients. However, extreme temperatures and salinity levels impose stress, disrupting metabolic processes and reducing phytoremediation efficiency. Elevated CO2More >

    Abstract Soybean (Glycine max) is a potential legume crop, but it cannot thrive in mild salinity. Salicylic acid (SA) is a renowned plant growth hormone that improves tolerance to saline conditions. Hence, the study was performed to understand the functions of priming seeds and supplementation of SA in modulating salt tolerance in soybean seedlings. When exposed to salt stress, soybean seedlings showed considerably higher contents of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) while having decreased germination and growth factors, water contents, and photosynthetic pigments. The germination rate, final germination percentage, germination index, germination energy, and seed vigor index… More >

    Abderrahim Boutasknit1,2,3, Mohamed Anli3, Rachid Lahlali4,*, Abdelilah Meddich2,3,5,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.9, pp. 2227-2249, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.055629 - 30 September 2024

    Abstract Applying organic waste and inorganic additives during composting can be an effective and easy-to-control strategy for optimizing humification, maturation, and the availability of essential mineral elements in compost. In this respect, this study aims to evaluate the effect of organic (olive-mill waste and horse manure) and inorganic (phosphogypsum) additives on the evolution of maturity indices, aromatic compounds, and nutrient availability during composting. Four mixtures [horse manure + green waste (M1), olive-mill + green waste (M2), sewage-sludge + phos-phogypsum + green waste (M3), and green waste (M4)] were carried out. Physicochemical (temperature, pH, phosphorus, nitrogen, and… More >

    Abstract The Atlas pistachio tree is a typically Mediterranean species, which represents an important forest heritage in the arid and semi-arid regions of Algeria. It is deeply rooted in the local population’s culture, making it essential to better understand this species for its conservation and valorization. Through our work on 7 provenances of Pistacia atlantica distributed across different bioclimates in Algeria and based on 28 quantitative and qualitative leaf, trichome, and stomatal traits, it was revealed that the Atlas pistachio tree exhibits significant ecotypic variability linked to its habitat and a high adaptability to extreme conditions in… More >

    Abstract The multifaceted roles of MYB transcriptional regulators are pivotal in orchestrating the complex processes of secondary metabolism, stress tolerance mechanisms, and life cycle progression and development. This study extensively examined the JrMYB genes using whole genome and transcriptomic data, focusing on identifying putative MYB genes associated with fatty acid metabolism. 126 MYB genes were identified within the walnut genome, characterized by hydrophilic proteins spanning lengths ranging from 78 to 1890 base pairs. Analysis of cis-acting elements within the promoter regions of MYB genes revealed many elements linked to cell development, environmental stress, and phytohormones. Transcriptomic data was utilized… More > Graphic Abstract

    Transcription Factors and Retained Intron Act Vital Roles in Cadmium Stress Response of Medicinal Model Plant Salvia miltiorrhiza

    Jun Yuan1, Rongpeng Liu4, Xiaoyun Wang3,*, Haihui Fu2,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.9, pp. 2267-2284, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.055338 - 30 September 2024

    Abstract Cadmium (Cd) has seriously affected the quality of traditional Chinese medicinal material Salvia miltiorrhiza in recent years, threatening human health. The physiological and metabolic profiles of S. miltiorrhiza in response to Cd stress have been revealed in previous studies. However, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation in response to different degrees of Cd (0, 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) stress in S. miltiorrhiza remains unclear. Here, transcriptome atlas in S. miltiorrhiza under different degrees of Cd Stress was unveiled using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). These results showed that the profiles of gene expression were different in the response to Cd treatment. Defense More >

    Abstract Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) is a rhizomatous plant of the Asteraceae family. In folk medicine, Solidago galenic remedies are used for diseases of the kidneys, urinary tract, liver, etc. Externally, goldenrod is used to treat purulent wounds, furunculosis, and gum abscesses as washes and compresses. The aims of this research were to study the yield and chemical composition of essential oil (EO), the anti-inflammatory activity of S. canadensis dry extracts based on its decoction and tincture. In EO (2.8 mL/kg) of S. canadensis were identified and quantified 34 compounds. The principal compounds of the EO from flowering tops… More > Graphic Abstract

    Esra Arslan Yuksel*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.9, pp. 2189-2207, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.055053 - 30 September 2024

    Abstract Heavy metal contamination in the environment, resulting from human activities or natural processes, poses a significant and widespread challenge. L-glutamic (L-glu) and L-aspartic acid (L-asp) treatments have been reported to improve plant metabolism of heavy metal-exposed plants, but the role of these amino acids in the resistance to lead (Pb2+), cadmium (Cd2+), arsenic (As3+) and nickel (Ni2+) treated-bean are unclear when applied together. This study investigated the L-glu and L-asp supplementation-induced changes in some physio-biochemical parameters and some stress-related gene expression levels in Pb2+, Cd2+, As3+, and Ni2+-stressed Phaseolus vulgaris (Elkoca and Gina) grown in nutrient solution. The combination of… More >

    Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) has recently gained popularity as a pseudo-cereal cultivated in various countries due to the nutritional and antioxidant benefits of its seeds, and its capacity to persist in water-stressed environments. Our study aimed to assess the effects of native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and local organic amendments on the metabolic responses and antioxidant activity of quinoa seeds under water-stressed conditions. To this end, quinoa plants were grown in soils inoculated with an indigenous mycorrhizal consortium AMF and amended with two types of compost from horse manure (HM) and green waste (GW) under two water… More >
