Heavy metal accumulation imparts structural differences in fragrant Rosa species irrigated with marginal quality water

Effects of Heavy Metal Stress on Physiology, Hydraulics, and Anatomy of Three Desert Plants in the Jinchang Mining Area, China

“…Ahsan et al evaluated the response of Rosa species ( Rosa damascena , Rosa bourboniana , Rosa Gruss an Teplitz , and Rosa centifolia ) after treatment with wastewater containing heavy metals. They found that the vascular bundle area of R. centifolia increased significantly after being treated with wastewater [ 24 ]. In contrast, when studying the effect of heavy metals on the anatomical characteristics of Cenchrus ciliaris L. in cement dust pollution, Al et al found that the anatomical changes in the stems were not significant under stress and unstressed conditions, except for the size of the cells [ 25 ].…”

Contributions of Beneficial Microorganisms in Soil Remediation and Quality Improvement of Medicinal Plants

“…Heavy metals enter plants to induce oxidative stress and the production of a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which destroy the membrane lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzyme activities and various organelles, ultimately resulting in cell death [ 115 , 116 , 117 ]. Liu et al [ 118 ] revealed that in low temperature conditions, Cd aggravated the destruction of chloroplast ultrastructure and disturbed the ion homeostasis, which also increased ROS accumulation and reduced antioxidant enzyme activities.…”

The (CF3C(O)NH)(C6H5CH2NH)2P(O) phosphoric triamide as a novel carrier with excellent efficiency for Cu(ii) in a liquid membrane transport system

“…Although the effect of various carriers on the transport of alkali and alkaline earth metal cations through liquid membranes has been reported so far, relatively few carriers offer a selective and efficient transport of transition or heavy metal ions, 34,35 however they are also important from biological, medicinal, environmental and industrial points of view. 36,37 Competitive transport of seven metal cations among four membrane phases of chloroform (CHCl 3 ), dichloromethane (DCM), 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) and nitrobenzene (NB) was evaluated in the presence of the PTC carrier. A pH gradient was utilized to facilitate transport of the metal ions across the membrane that controls the return penetration of protons from the receiver aqueous phase (with pH ¼ 3) to the source aqueous phase (pH ¼ 4.9).…”
