“…Interestingly, in this study, Pb stress had no significant effect on plant height, increased leave number as well as leaves area of Philippine-tung (R. trisperma), suggesting that this species is resistance to Pb. The adaptability of this species to Pb has also been confirmed in other experiments using soil media contained Pb, such as Hilmi et al (2018) who observed various accessions of R. trisperma grown on gold mine tailings contained Pb, and Andriya et al (2019) who compared this species with other non-edible oilproducing plants under gold mine tailings.…”

Abstract. Hamim, Hanifatunisa, Hadisunarso, Setyaningsih L, Saprudin D. 2019. Lead (Pb) toxicity effect on physio-anatomy of bead-tree, jatropha, castor bean and Philippine-tung grown in water culture. Biodiversitas 20: 3690-3697. Heavy metal contamination in both land and water has been intensively studied because of their broad impact for the environment. Bead-tree (Melia azedarach), Jatropha (Jatropha curcas), castor bean (Ricinus communis) and Philippine tung (Reutealis trisperma) are kinds of non-edible oil-producing species, that are able to grow well on degraded lands and may have potential use for phytoremediation of heavy metals contaminated areas. This study aimed to analyze the response of bead-tree (Melia azedarach), jatropha (Jatropha curcas), castor bean (Ricinus communis) and Philippine-tung (Reutealis trisperma) to lead (Pb) contaminant in water culture experiment based on morphological, physiological and anatomical parameters. Two months old plants were transferred to the media containing Hoagland solution. After three weeks of planting, Pb (NO3)2 treatments with five concentrations, i.e. control (0 mM), 0.5 mM, 1 mM, 2 mM, and 3 mM were added together with Hoagland replacement and the plants were treated for three weeks. The growth, anatomical and physiological parameters were observed during the treatment until three weeks. The results showed that Pb treatment, especially with higher concentration, dramatically decreased plant growth, such as plant height, number of leaves, as well as shoot and root dry weight of all the species. Lead treatment triggered the emergence of free radicals and oxidative stress as indicated by a significant increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) content, while it decreased chlorophyll content of all the species. The higher concentration of Pb (NO3)2 caused the thickness of upper epidermis, lower epidermis, and spongy mesophyll tissue to decrease significantly which contributed to the decrease of leaves thickness. Among the species, Philippine-tung was the most tolerant of Pb toxicity. This species is potential to be used in phytoremediation program of lead-contaminated land such as gold mine area as well as heavy industrial areas.

“…Guala et al (2010), heavy metals are toxic to legumes because they can cause chlorosis, reduced plant growth, decreased productivity, and limited nutrient uptake. Andriya et al (2019) also found that root and shoot dry weight decreased significantly in the four plants used, including J. curcas and R. trisperma, after treatment with 100% tailings.…”

“…Gold mine tailings have a relatively high Pb content than non-essential heavy metals (Hilmi et al 2018). Pb levels in the tailings and soil were 63.31 ppm and 13.44 ppm, respectively (Andriya et al 2019). Therefore, these results are consistent with Hamim et al (2020a), which found that treatment of Pb up to 0.5 mM in water culture did not significantly affect the photosynthetic rate in P. conjugatum, M. micrantha, C. kyllingia, and B. mutica.…”

“…According to Capuana (2011), plants useful as phytoremediation agents have several characteristics, such as fast growth, easy to harvest, and a deep rooting system. Some under-utilized biodiesel-producing plants such as jatropha (Jatropha curcas) and candlenut (Reutealis trisperma) could be used in the phytoremediation process because they grow well on marginal lands and gold mine tailings (Hilmi et al 2018;Andriya et al 2019).…”

Abstract. Prasetya DN, Hamim, Sulistyaningsih YC. 2022. Physiological and ultrastructural studies of Jatropha curcas and Reutealis trisperma in response to gold-mine tailings. Biodiversitas 23: 3471-3479. Heavy metal contamination through tailings from mining pollutes the environment and harms human health. This study aimed to analyze physiological, especially ultrastructural changes and the photosynthetic activities of Jatropha curcas and Reutealis trisperma in response to gold mine tailings. J. curcas and R. trisperma were grown in 8 kg of polybags and treated with 0%, 50%, and 100% gold mine tailings for three months before examining their morphological, physiological, and leaf ultrastructure. The results showed that gold mine tailings with 50% and 100% concentrations affected the growth of both species. This was indicated by reduced plant height, total leaf number, shoot, root dry weight, and decreased chlorophyll and carotenoid content. Furthermore, treatment of gold mine tailing at 50% and 100% induced lipid peroxidation, indicated by the significant increase in leaf malondialdehyde content. The photosynthetic and transpiration rates at 90 days after treatment decreased with the increase in gold mine tailings concentration. The leaf ultrastructure analysis showed high-level tailings of treatment-induced ultrastructure alteration of J. curcasand R. trisperma. However, these changes did not significantly affect the photosynthesis rate, hence the plants survived until the end of the observation period. The overall effect of tailings on R. trisperma was lower than on J. curcas, suggesting that R. trisperma had higher adaptability than J. curcas.

“…Some experiment recorded that increasing the concentration of metal such as lead was directly proportional to the increase in the MDA level in the plants such as in spinach and wheat, Jatropha and Philippine Tung(Andriya et al, 2019;Hilmi et al, 2018;Lamhamdi et al, 2010). Gill and Tuteja (…”

Indonesia comprises a high diversity of plant species, some of which may have a potential role as metal phytoaccumulators including gold (Au), known as phytomining agents. Some local plants grown at the metal-contaminated sites can become potential phytoaccumulators due to their adaptation capability to the metal-polluted conditions. Phytomining is one of the eco-friendly methods usually used to extract lowgrade metal bio-ore from the environment and this method can be applied on gold tailing waste. This study aimed to find the hyperaccumulator plants selected from a gold mine area, which can be applied for a gold (Au) phytomining agent. The study was located in Aneka Tambang Inc. (PT. ANTAM-UBPE Pongkor), Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. A vegetation analysis was carried out using a transect experiment on the area around gold mine tailings dam, and the samples were collected for further analysis. Tailings were sampled for metal analysis, while the plant samples including the below-ground and above-ground part of biomass were separated, washed, and weighed for the biomass and metal analyses. The total concentration of gold in the plants and tailings was measured by using a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (GF-AAS). There were 17 plant species identified as gold accumulators collected from the gold mine tailing area, which were potential phytomining agents. The gold measurement showed that all plants species had the ability to absorb gold residues from the tailings dam, indicating that all the plants have a potential role as gold phytoaccumulators. Among the species, Typha angustifolia had the highest importance value index (IVI) followed by Cyperus haspan. The results showed that T. angustifolia and C. haspan were among the plants with the highest potential as Au phytoaccumulators to support the gold phytomining program for the gold mine tailing area.
