Phytate is abundant in soils, which is stable and unavailable for plant uptake. However, it occurs in root exudates of As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata (PV). To elucidate its effect on As uptake and growth, P. vittata were grown on agar media (63 μM P) containing 50 μM As and/or 50 or 500 μM phytate with non As-hyperaccumulator Pteris ensiformis (PE) as a congeneric control for 60 d. Phytate induced efficient As and P uptake, and enhanced growth in PV, but had little effects on PE. The As concentrations in PV fronds and roots were 157 and 31 mg kg −1 in As 50 +phytate 50 , 2.2- and 3.1-fold that of As 50 treatment. Phosphorus uptake by PV was reduced by 27% in As treatment than the control (P vs. P+As) but increased by 73% comparing phytate 500 to phytate 500 +As, indicating that PV effectively took up P from phytate. Neither As nor phytate affected Fe accumulation in PV, but phytate reduced root Fe concentration in PE (46–56%). As such, the increased As and P and the unsuppressed Fe uptake in PV probably promoted PV growth. Thus, supplying phytate to As-contaminated soils may promote As uptake and growth in PV and its phytoremediation ability.

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals in the environment and exerts deleterious effects on plant growth and production. Duckweed has been reported as a promising candidate for Cd phytoremediation. In this study, the growth, Cd enrichment, and antioxidant enzyme activity of duckweed were investigated. We found that both high-Cd-tolerance duckweed (HCD) and low-Cd-tolerance duckweed (LCD) strains exposed to Cd were hyper-enriched with Cd. To further explore the underlying molecular mechanisms, a genome-wide transcriptome analysis was performed. The results showed that the growth rate, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzyme activities of duckweed were significantly affected by Cd stress and differed between the two strains. In the genome-wide transcriptome analysis, the RNA-seq library generated 544,347,670 clean reads, and 1608 and 2045 differentially expressed genes were identified between HCD and LCD, respectively. The antioxidant system was significantly expressed during ribosomal biosynthesis in HCD but not in LCD. Fatty acid metabolism and ethanol production were significantly increased in LCD. Alpha-linolenic acid metabolism likely plays an important role in Cd detoxification in duckweed. These findings contribute to the understanding of Cd tolerance mechanisms in hyperaccumulator plants and lay the foundation for future phytoremediation studies.Keywords:cadmium;duckweed;heavy metals;hyperaccumulator;transcriptome

It is known that arsenic (As) promotes growth of As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata (PV), however, the associated mechanisms are unclear. Here we examined As-induced nutrient uptake in P. vittata and their potential role to enhance plant growth in sterile agar by excluding microbial effects. As-hyperaccumulator P. multifida (PM) and non-hyperaccumulator P. ensiformis (PE) belonging to the Pteris genus were used as comparisons. The results showed that, after 40 d of growth, As induced biomass increase in hyperaccumulators PV and PM by 5.2–9.4 fold whereas it caused 63% decline in PE. The data suggested that As played a beneficial role in promoting hyperaccumulator growth. In addition, hyperaccumulators PV and PM accumulated 7.5–13, 1.4–3.6, and 1.8–4.4 fold more As, Fe, and P than the non-hyperaccumulator PE. In addition, nutrient contents such as K and Zn were also increased while Ca, Mg, and Mn decreased or unaffected under As treatment. This study demonstrated that As promoted growth in hyperaccumulators and enhanced Fe, P, K, and Zn uptake. Different plant growth responses to As among hyperaccumulators PV and PM and non-hyperaccumulator PE may help to better understand why hyperaccumulators grow better under As-stress.

Pyrolysis is a promising technique to achieve the sustainable utilization of heavy metal hyperaccumulator derived from phytoremediation of contaminated soils. To investigate the feasibility of synergistic treatment of hyperaccumulator and plastic waste (i.e. polyvinyl chloride , PVC), co-pyrolysis of Sedum alfredii and different mass percentages of PVC (5–25 wt%) was conducted at 300–900 °C in the present study. High pyrolysis temperature and low PVC addition amount (5 wt%) effectively promoted the volatilization of Cd and Zn from S. alfredii , while high PVC addition amount (15 wt% and 25 wt%) caused a significant suppression effect at insufficient pyrolysis temperatures. After PVC addition, the yields of biochar increased by 5.18–37.19% as compared with the theoretical values. However, the concentrations of Cd and Zn leached from biochar significantly elevated with increasing PVC addition amount, indicating that the addition of PVC improved the mobility of Cd and Zn in biochar. Moreover, S. alfredii derived biochars showed considerable sorption capacity for Cd (87.6–198.3 mg/g). These results imply that the addition of PVC has double-edged effects on heavy metal separation and biochar production during pyrolysis of Cd/Zn hyperaccumulator, and low PVC addition amount and sufficient pyrolysis temperature are beneficial for the further utilization of biochar.

A field survey was conducted to evaluate soil metal pollution and endogenous trans -zeatin content in the leaves of plants growing at six sites in a metal-polluted area located in Gejiu, Yunnan, China. Five plant species were collected, and the physicochemical properties and concentrations of five metals in the soil were analyzed. The trans -zeatin content in plant leaves was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Based on the Nemerow pollution index, the six sites were classified into four levels of pollution (i.e., low, medium, high, and severely high). The degree of soil metal pollution was cadmium (Cd) > arsenic (As) > lead (Pb) > zinc (Zn) > copper (Cu). The leaf trans -zeatin content in Pteris vittata (an arsenic hyperaccumulator) increased significantly by 98.6 % in soil with a severely high level of pollution compared with soil at a low level of pollution. However, in non-hyperaccumulators Bidens pilosa var . radiata and Ageratina adenophora , a significant decrease in leaf trans -zeatin content of 35.6 and 87.6 %, respectively, was observed. The leaf trans -zeatin content in Artemisia argyi also decreased significantly by 73.6 % in high metal-polluted soil compared with that in medium metal-polluted soil. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between leaf trans -zeatin content in Pteris vittata and As, Pb, and Cd concentrations in the soil; however, either no correlation or a negative one was observed in the other plant species. Therefore, a high content of trans -zeatin in the leaves of Pteris vittata may play an important role in its normal growth and tolerance to metals.

Soil collembolans live in close proximity to plant roots and may have a role in the phytoextraction of potentially toxic metals from contaminated soils but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly investigated. We hypothesize that soil collembolans may change the root morphology of hyperaccumulators by regulating plant physiological characteristics. Here, a pot experiment was conducted in which a cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulator ( Sedum plumbizincicola ) was grown with or without a collembolan ( Folsomia candida ), and plant transcriptome and hormones as well as the root characteristics of S. plumbizincicola were analyzed. F. candida promoted the growth and Cd/Zn uptake of S. plumbizincicola , the root and shoot biomass increasing by 53.3 and 34.4%, and the uptake of Cd and Zn in roots increased by 83.2 and 65.4%, respectively. Plant root morphology, total root length, root tip number and lateral root number increased significantly by 40.7, 37.2 and 33.8%, respectively, with the addition of F. candida . Transcriptome analysis reveals that the expression levels of defense-related genes in S. plumbizincicola were significantly up-regulated. In addition, the defensive plant hormones, i.e. salicylic acid in the roots, increased significantly by 338%. These results suggest that the plant in defense of the action of F. candida regulated the expression of the corresponding genes and increased the defensive plant hormones, thus modifying root morphology and plant performance. Overall, this study highlights the importance of the regulation by collembolans of plant growth and metal uptake by interaction with hyperaccumulator roots.

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) has been a promising treatment technology of heavy metal-enriched hyperaccumulator biomass to produce superior hydrochar adsorbent for contamination removal from the wastewater. However, a high amount of heavy metal in derived hydrochar limits its further application. In this study, the effect of reaction temperature (180–270 ℃) and medium pH during HTC on heavy metal contents, speciation and leaching risk of hydrochar from the hyperaccumulator biomass Sedum alfredii Hance was investigated to assess its environmental risk. HTC at a low reaction temperature and acid addition facilitated the removal of Zn/Cd/Pb from the solid phase, meanwhile the addition of acid favored the immobilization of Zn/Cd/Pb and lowered the potential leaching risk of Zn/Cd/Pb. Hydrochar prepared from HTC at 240 °C and pH = 2 had lower heavy metal content and lower releasing risk, followed by KOH modification to obtain high adsorption performance. The modified hydrohcar (KSAB) were characterized by SEM, XRD, BET, Boehm titration and FT-IR, and showed that the surface specific surface area and pore structure were optimized and OFGs of hydrochar were improved significantly after KOH treatment. Adsorption experiments showed that the Cd(II) adsorption process onto KSAB well accorded with pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherms. The maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity of KSAB was 25.69 mg/g, which was 17 times compared to that of pristine hydrochar. Microstructure characteristics and mechanism analysis further suggested that electrostatic interactions, surface complexation, cation-π and ion exchange were the main Cd(II) removal mechanisms of KOH-modified hydrochar. Therefore, hydrochar derived from hyperaccumulator biomass can be used as a highly efficient absorbent to remove Cd(II) from wastewater after KOH modification.

Phytoremediation is an effective technology for the removal of heavy metals (HMs) from contaminated soils. However, improper post-treatment of hyperaccumulators can lead to secondary environmental hazards. This study explores the application of supercritical water gasification (SCWG) for the treatment of Cu-enriched hyperaccumulator Elsholtzia splendens ( ES ), with the dual aims of H 2 production and HM immobilization. SCWG process yielded a maximum H 2 output of 16.68 mol/kg after 20 min, demonstrating its potential for waste valorization. Within the temperature range of 500–650°C, the migration and transformation mechanisms of HMs were investigated through detailed biochar characterization. The results demonstrate that SCWG significantly reduces the leaching rate of Cu from 25.18 % to below 0.08 %, with over 99 % of HMs being immobilized in the resultant biochar. Furthermore, higher temperatures and prolonged residence times were found to promote the complexation of HMs with inorganic components in the biochar, resulting in their transformation into stable F4 fractions. Then, HMs in liquid products and solid residues were evaluated in terms of Nemerow index and potential ecological risk. The results indicated that the pollution risks of liquid products were safe while the original hyperaccumulators showed high risk, underscoring the promise of SCWG as an effective method for the concurrent production of H 2 -rich syngas and the immobilization of HMs.

Cardamine violifolia is a Se hyperaccumulator found in Enshi, China. In this study, spatial metallomics was applied to visualize the distribution and speciation of Se in a single seed of C. violifolia. It was found that Se reached 1729.89 ± 28.14 mg/kg and the main Se species were SeCys and SeMet in bulk seeds. Further in situ study on a single seed found that the methylated Se species located mostly in the episperm. This is the first visualized evidence of the in situ distribution of methylated Se species in the seeds of C. violifolia. In all, spatial metallomics finds a preferable accumulation of methylated Se species in the seed coat, which deepens the understanding of the tolerance of Se by C. violifolia. The protocol applied in this study may also be used for the understanding of the tolerance of heavy metals/metalloids in other hyperaccumulators.

Root exudates are the most direct manifestation of the response of plants changes in the external environment. Therefore, based on non-targeted gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and metabolomics, the response of Sedum plumbizincicola root exudates to Cd stress was used to reveal the possible mechanism of resistance to or accumulation of Cd. The results showed that Cd significantly changed the composition and contents of S. plumbizincicola root exudates. A total of 155 metabolites were identified in S. plumbizincicola root exudates, among which 33 showed significant differences under Cd stress, including organic acids, amino acids, lipids, and polyols. Cd stress suppressed organic acid metabolism and lipid metabolism in S. plumbizincicola and significantly affected amino acid metabolism. There were 16 metabolic pathways related to Cd stress, among which arginine and proline metabolism, valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and purine metabolism were the key pathways with the highest correlation, and were closely related to the stress resistance of S. plumbizincicola .

Arsenic (As) in soils is often adsorbed on Fe-(hydro)oxides surface, rendering them more resistant to dissolution, which is undesirable for phytoremediation of As-contaminated soils. Arsenic hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata prefers to grow in calcareous soils where available Fe and As are low. To elucidate its mechanisms of acquiring Fe and As from insoluble sources in soils, we investigated dissolution of goethite with pre-adsorbed arsenate (AsV; As-goethite) in presence of four organic ligands, including two root exudates (oxalate and phytate, dominant in P. vittata ) and two microbial siderophores (PG12-siderophore and desferrioxamine B). Their presence increased As solubilization from As-goethite from 0.03 to 0.27–5.33 mg L −1 compared to the control. The siderophore/phytate bi-ligand treatment released 7.42 mg L −1 soluble Fe, which was 1.2-fold that of the sum of siderophore and phytate, showing a synergy in promoting As-goethite dissolution. In the ligand-mineral-plant system, siderophore/phytate was most effective in releasing As and Fe from As-goethite. Moreover, the continuous plant uptake induced more As-goethite dissolution. The continued release of As and Fe significantly enhanced their plant uptake (from 0.01 to 0.43 mg plant −1 As and 2.7–14.8 mg plant −1 Fe) and plant growth (from 1.2 to 3.1 g plant −1 fw) in P. vittata . Since microbial siderophores and root exudates often coexist in soil rhizosphere, their synergy in enhancing dissolution of insoluble As-Fe minerals may play an important role in efficient phytoremediation of As-contaminated soils.

Many kinds of medicinal plants are used in the treatment of disease, and a proportion of these plants grow tenaciously in soils contaminated with heavy metals. An example of one such medicinal plant is the herb Thlaspi rotundifolium L., which accumulates selenium (Se), and has anti-oxidation, anti-aging, anti-cancer and immunity-adjusting properties, but also simultaneously hyperaccumulates harmful metals such as Cd and Zn from the soil. An interesting model named ‘digging metals@plant then backfilling’ has been suggested, where the metals are removed from the plant by acid treatment, then the nano-pores imprinted with the heavy metals are backfilled from the drinking water. Experimental studies of this idea indicate that it can remove unwanted substances from the herb itself and also from the drinking water, ensuring the safety of the herb tea. Additionally, the Se normally embedded in the herb was not noticeably lost. Thus, this model provides a sustainable solution for the disposal of heavy metals using metal-accumulating plants.
