“…The possibility of comparing the genetic variation of R. alpinus with other Rumex species is limited due to the low number of species examined for SSR marker diversity. Indeed, the physiology and ecology of R. alpinus have been studied (Hujerová et al, 2013 ; Jungová et al, 2022 ; Řičařová, 2011 ) much more than genetic variability, with the only published genetic work being on Rumex bucephalophorus subsp. canariensis (Viruel et al, 2015 ).…”

Monk's rhubarb, Rumex alpinus L. (R. alpinus), is a perennial plant native to the mountains of Central and Southern Europe. Currently, the distribution of R. alpinus has been partly affected by its utilization as a vegetable and a medicinal herb. In the mountains of the Czech Republic, it is considered an invasive plant, probably introduced into the Krkonoše Mountains by colonists from the Alps. This study's main aim was to verify whether R. alpinus was introduced into the Krkonoše Mountains by alpine colonists or whether it was anthropogenically introduced from the Carpathians. Furthermore, the genetic structure of native and introduced populations of R. alpinus was determined. For the evaluation of genetic structure, 417 samples of R. alpinus were collected from the Alps, Carpathians, Balkan, Pyrenees, and Czech Mountains. In total, 12 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were applied. The results of AMOVA showed a high 60% variation within populations, 27% variation among groups, and 13% among the population within groups. The overall unbiased gene diversity was high (̂ĥ = 0.55). The higher level of genetic differentiation among populations (FST = 0.35; p < .01) indicated restricted gene flow between populations. Compared to native populations, limited genetic variability was observed in the nonnative populations. It was concluded that local adaptation, low gene exchange, and genetic drift affected the genetic diversity of nonnative R. alpinus. The results support a genetic link between Alpine and Czech genotypes of R. alpinus, while the Carpathians genotypes corresponded to the Balkan genotype.

“…Notably, many food crops and vegetables have the high ability to uptake and distribute PTE in their organs in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas, e.g., Rumex alpinus, Brassica oleracea var. capitata, and Daucus carota (see Jungová et al 2022;Mensah et al 2009). Even though Pb shows restrictive transport of to shot due to apoplastic blockage in the root, e.g., the Casparian barrier (Dogan et al 2018), the leaf content was higher than the allowable limit.…”

Background and purpose The fertility of anthropogenic soils developed from dumpsites used for arable fields is not well-studied. The study aimed to evaluate the fertility of soils from an abandoned dumpsite in Awotan, Nigeria, by measurable indicators and assess the bioaccessibility of elements of identified plant species. Methods The study adopted multi-analytical approaches to determine the signatures of the soils and further parameterized the bioaccessibility of elements to plants. Results The comparatively high content of Ca and Na in the anthropogenic soil contributed to the slightly alkaline soil reaction against the slightly acidic control. The high amount of organic matter is well-indicated by the enrichment of organic C and N in the anthropogenic soil. Waste deposition significantly contributed to the high accumulation of macronutrients (P, Ca, K, S) and micronutrients (Mn, Na, Fe) sufficient for maximum plant growth and yields, with an adequate C/N ratio supporting effective mineralization. The high cation exchange capacity of the anthropogenic soil contributed to cations binding. Indiscriminate deposition resulted in a high accumulation of potentially toxic elements (PTEs; Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb) above permissible limits in agricultural soils following WHO limits. Potential effects on lives are evident by the high PTEs accumulation in roots and leaves of Chromolaena odorata, Saccopetalum tectonum, Passiflora foetida, and Senna siamea. These plant species exhibited various PTEs accumulation, especially excluding Cd and Pb. Conclusion Although anthropogenic soils remained fertile, the bioaccessibility of PTEs by plants indicates potential threats to consumers of crops and herbs produced from such sites.

Background and purpose The fertility of anthropogenic soils developed from dumpsites used for arable fields is not well-studied. The study aimed to evaluate the fertility of anthropogenic soils from an abandoned dumpsite in Awotan, Nigeria, by measurable indicators and the bioaccessibility of elements of selected plant species.
