“…Uveges et al (2002) também constataram reduções lineares na matéria seca da planta inteira de Lythrum salicaria submetidas a doses crescentes de Pb em solução (0 a 2.000 mg L -1 ). Kosobrukhov et al (2004), em trabalho avaliando o efeito do incremento do teor de Pb no solo sobre o crescimento de plantas de Plantago major, constataram reduções na matéria seca da planta inteira de 30 e 46 %, em relação à testemunha, em solo contaminado com 500 e 2.000 mg kg -1 de Pb, respectivamente.…”

“…Gregory and Bradshaw (1965); McNeilly and Bradshaw (1968) and Mashauri et al (2000) reported that this tolerance is genetically determined and occurs through natural selection. Uveges et al (2002) reported that Lythrum salicaria (purple loosestrife) was quite tolerant of lead contaminated wastewater. Dolar et al (1971) has shown that Myriophyllum spicatum accumulates mercury when grown in sediments containing either organic or inorganic mercury compounds.…”

We investigated pollutant removal from acid mine drainage (AMD) by three different aquatic plant species (Typha angustifolia, Desmostachya bipinnata, and Sacharum bengalense) in bench-scale wetland test cells of 1 m 3 . AMD was generated in the laboratory using chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite ore. A substrate containing 75% soil, 20% powdered goat manure, and 5% wood shavings was used in each cell. The performance of the system was evaluated for different water column heights (100, 150, and 200 mm) and for different retention periods (24, 48, 72, 96, and 168 hrs). The performance of the plant species was different for the various metals of AMD; therefore, multi-species plantings should be considered in constructed wetlands.

“…7). Most heavy metals, including Cd, adversely affect plant growth, the effect being manifested as: (1) growth retardation (Uveges et al 2002), (2) enzymatic activity changes (Copal and Rizvis 2008), and (3) disturbed photosynthesis (Ganesh et al 2008); other factors, which are also related to the manifestation of Cd adverse effects are: the heavy metal plant level, the genotypical characteristics of the plant species, and the extent of heavy metal uptake (Perish et al 2007). …”

A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in Agrinion, Greece, in 2009, using a Randomized Block Design. Treated Municipal Wastewater (TMWW) in five levels was applied to Brassica oleracea var. Capitata (cabbage) in four replications. The experiment aimed at investigating the effect of TMWW on: (a) the interrelationships of cabbage plant parts (roots, stems, leaves, and heads) heavy metal content, with the respective dry matter yield. (b) The relationship between each individual soil bioavailable diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA extractable) heavy metal, with the dry matter (dm) yield of the abovementioned cabbage plant parts. The heavy metals of cabbage plant parts dry matter were significantly related negatively and statistically with the respective dry matter yield. Similarly, the soil available DTPA-extractable heavy metals were generally negatively affecting the dry matter yield of roots, stems, leaves, and heads. Conversely, Co, Cr, and Cd were found to be positively associated with the dry matter yield increase of the aforementioned plant parts. This effect was indirect, probably being due to contribution in essential elements by the synergistic interactions of these heavy metals with plant nutrients, such as Ca, Mg, Fe, and Mn.
