“…This can explain why roots have higher Cu concentrations based on samples collected from the TP and the IP compared to other plant parts. However, the concentration of Cu in soil did not show any significant relationship with rice grains among all study sites (p < 0.05), which is consistent with another study's findings [45]. As per Table 5, the average concentrations of Zn in paddy parts collected at the RP reveal that Zn has accumulated more in the roots than in shoots and grains, with values of 87.28, 24.95, and 51.23 mg/kg, respectively.…”

Rice tends to accumulate heavy metals present in soil that have been introduced by human activities and pass them up the food chain. The present study aimed to evaluate the accumulation of selected trace elements (Cu, Zn, and Pb) in paddy and soil and the transfer of these metals from soil to rice by analysing the bioconcentration factor (BCF), bioaccumulation factor (BAF), and translocation factor (TF) of heavy metals in paddy (Oryza sativa L.) and soil. Samples of matured paddy and the substrates were collected from three different areas located near a rural point (RP), a transportation point (TP), and an industrial point (IP). Heavy metal concentrations present in the soil and various parts of the plants were ascertained using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Cu, Zn, and Pb accumulation in the soil were detected in increasing orders of RP > TP > IP, IP > TP > RP, and IP > RP > TP, respectively. The BCFshoot, BAF, and transfer factor of both Zn and Pb from soil to rice were detected in the order of TP > IP > RP, which was different from Cu, where BCFshoot and TF showed the order of RP > IP > TP but the BAF indicated IP > RP > TP. TF > 1 was discovered for Zn and Pb at the TP, and for Cu at the RP, which could be attributed to the TP’s strongly acidic soil and Cu’s abundance in the RP’s soil. Paddy height and yield traits were the most significant at the IP site, showing the highest number of fertile spikelets, the average weight of a 1000-paddy spikelet, and the harvest index (0.56). These findings can be related to the normal range of Zn and Pb found in rice plants that support growth. Thus, the findings of this study demonstrated that soil properties and metal abundance in soil from certain land use practices can partially influence the mobility and transfer of metals through soil–plant pathways.

“…Therefore, there is a growing demand to use adsorbents of higher efficiency to remove HMs. Bacteria and nanoparticles have gained vast attention due to their morphological, textural, and structural properties [37]. Bacteria secrete biofilm and exopolysaccharides having negative charges that bind with the HMs and NPs [38].…”

Heavy metal (HM) emissions have increased due to the impact of rising urbanization and anthropogenic activity, affecting different parts of the environment. The goal of this study is to investigate the combined effect of ZnO NPs and bacteria treatment on protein and gene expression profiles of rice plants that are grown in HMs-polluted water. Seeds were primed with Bacillus spp. (Bacillus cereus and Lysinibacillus macroides) before being cultured in Hoagland media containing ZnO NPs (5 and 10 mg/L) and HMs-contaminated water from the Hayatabad industrial estate (HIE), Peshawar, Pakistan. The results revealed that the maximum nitrogen and protein content was observed in the root, shoot, and leaf of the plant grown by combining bacteria-ZnO NPs treatment under HMs stress as compared with plant grown without or with individual treatments of ZnO NPs and bacteria. Furthermore, protein expression analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) revealed that plants that were grown in HMs-polluted water were found to be affected in contaminated water, however the combined effect of bacteria-ZnO NPs reported the more dense protein profile as compared with their individual treatments. Subsequently, plants that were grown in HMs-polluted water have the highest expression levels of stress-induced genes such as myeloblastosis (Myb), zinc-finger protein (Zat-12), and ascorbate peroxidase (Apx) while the combined effect revealed minimum expression as compared with individual treatments. It is concluded that the combined effect of ZnO NPs and bacteria lowered the stress-induced gene expression while it increased the nitrogen-protein content and protein expression in plant grown under HMs stress.

“…In addition, Sharma [30] found that rice and maize grain were hyperaccumulators for Cr, Co, and Cu in Punjab wetlands, in India. Nonetheless, previous studies have also found low BCF (<1) in Bangladeshi rice grains in [31] and Thai sugarcane leaves/shoots/roots [32]. The soil's organic content, heavy metals content, and plant species contribute to different bioavailability and phytoextraction of the heavy metals from soils.…”

Driven by Thailand’s Bio-Circular Green Economy strategy, this study explores industrial waste utilization as a solution to mitigate the impacts of climate change and economic insecurity. This study involved interviews with farmers and field sampling across 131 sugarcane plantations, primarily in four districts in Kanchanaburi, western Thailand. The investigation aimed to assess heavy metal levels (As, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Cd, Hg) in the plantation soils and their accumulations in soils and biomass under various agricultural practices, including the uses of filter cake and vinasse (industrial wastes from sugar–ethanol industries). Spatial analysis showed that As often exceeded national soil-quality standards for agriculture (25 mg kg−1). The Cd, As, and Zn tended to accumulate at a high level in most soils, whereas Pb accumulated locally. Factors such as clay content, soil alkalinity (for As and Mn), soil organic matters (As, Mn, and Hg), and no/minimum tillage (Zn and Cd) promoted the metal accumulation. Factor analysis showed that natural geochemical processes govern the spatial variations of the metals. The application of filter cake led to soils with elevated Cr, Fe, As, Cd, and Mn content and a clayey organic-rich composition, while the vinasse resulted in soils with higher levels of Zn, Cu, Fe, and clayey saline. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) revealed that sugarcane generally accumulated Hg (BCF ~2.32−35.72), whereas Cu (2.67) and As (1.04) tended to accumulate in sandy-soil farmlands. The waste utilization, however, neither contributed significantly to the concern levels of soil metals nor enhanced the bioconcentration of the soil metals into the sugarcane biomass. Utilizing the waste as fertilizer could benefit cane yield, but further studies should focus on proper fertilization rates and food safety.
