“…Lead levels in S rectifraenum from STR were above the Codex alimentarius threshold of 0.3 μg g −1 wet weight (1.5 μg g −1 dry weight [ 69 ]) for Pb in fish [ 84 ]. The ingestion rate is the main factor that influences health risk associated with a specific food [ 85 ]. In the present study, a daily consumption of 30 g (210 g weekly) of K. vaigiensis or B. polylepis does not represent a health risk for human, in contrast, S. rectifraenum could be dangerous if consumed.…”

In the Gulf of California; mineral deposits have contributed to high metal contents in coastal environments. This study examined cadmium; lead; copper; zinc; and iron contents in three fish species; Kyphosus vaigiensis (herbivore), Stegastes rectifraenum (omnivore), and Balistes polylepis (carnivore) at two mining sites. Metal concentrations were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes were estimated using mass spectrophotometry. Also, we assessed the risk to human health from the consumption of these three species based on permissible limits; although only two of them (Kyphosus and Balistes) are consumed as food. Metal concentrations differed among fish species; except for iron. The highest concentrations of metals were not always recorded in the species at the highest trophic level; i.e., Balistes. The highest concentrations (dry weight) recorded were cadmium (0.21 ± 0.03 µg g−1) and lead (1.67 ± 0.26 µg g−1), in S. rectifraenum; copper (1.60 ± 0.49 µg g−1) and zinc (67.30 ± 8.79 µg g−1), in B. polylepis; and iron (27.06 ± 2.58 µg g−1), in K. vaigiensis. Our findings show that each element accumulates differently in particular marine organisms; depending on the physiology of the species and the biogeochemistry of its habitat; which in turn is affected by the anthropogenic activities in adjacent areas. No risk of heavy metals toxicity is expected from the human consumption of the species and sites studied

Cadmium (Cd) inhibits plant growth, perturbs nutrient uptake, and affects chloroplast ultrastructure. The role of Cd stress in affecting growth and physiology and ameliorative effects of gibberellins (GAs) in Cd-induced toxicity in mung bean are lesser-known. This study comprehensively investigated Cd stress (CdCl2, IC50—500 µM L−1) with or without GA3 on mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Var. SML-668). In our methodology, a total of 80 mung bean plants (15 days old of uniform height) were divided into four groups, and each group (n = 20) was subjected to four different treatments (Control, CdCl2, GA3, CdCl2+GA3) twice during the entire life cycle of mung bean plants (until harvest 85–90 days). Results revealed negative impacts of Cd stress on shoot morphometry (plant height, leaf surface area, stem diameter, shoot fresh weight, number of leaves, number of pods, length, and diameter of pods), root morphometry (root length, root surface area, root dry weight, nodule number and nodule diameter), photosynthetic pigments, and agronomic traits. GA3 application ameliorated Cd stress by modulating shoot and root growth, improving overall plant metabolism, photosynthetic pigments, and shoot and root morphometry and transcript abundance of VrPCS1, VrIRT1, VrIRT2 and VrCD29. Thus, we propose GA3 application for the effective management of Cd-induced phytotoxicity in mung bean plants.

Cadmium (Cd) inhibits plant growth, perturb nutrient uptake and affect chloroplast ultra structure. Cd soil pollution is mainly contributed by excessive use of phosphate fertilizers, nickel Cd batteries, plating and sewage sludge. Research investigations deciphering role of Cd in affecting overall performance of mung bean is least understood. Likewise ameliorative effects of gibberellins (GAs) in Cd induced toxicity in mung bean are lesser known. In this context, effects of Cd stress (CdCl2, IC50 −500 µM L−1) with or without GA3 application on mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Var. SML-668) plants were comprehensively investigated under controlled conditions. In brief, a total of 80 mung bean plants (15 days old of uniform height) were divided into four groups, with each group (n=20) subjected to four different treatments (Control, CdCl2, GA3, CdCl2+GA3), twice during the entire life cycle of mung bean plants (until harvest 85-90 days). Results revealed negative impacts of Cd stress on shoot morphometry (plant height, leaf surface area, stem diameter, shoot fresh weight, number of leaves, number of pods, length and diameter of pods), root morphometry (root length, root surface area, root dry weight, nodule number and nodule diameter), photosynthetic pigments and agronomic traits. GA3 ameliorated Cd stress by modulating shoot and root growth rates, improving overall plant metabolism, photosynthetic pigments, and shoot and root morphometry and transcript abundance of VgPCS1, VgPCS2, VgCdR and VgIRT1. Current study proposes GA3 application for the effective management of Cd induced phytotoxicity in mung bean plants.
