Tea saponin (TS), a kind of green biosurfactant produced by plants, was added into the Cd–pyrene co-contaminated soils to evaluate its influence on phytoremediation of Cd and pyrene by Lolium multiflorum . The results showed that the accumulation of pyrene in L. multiflorum was significantly promoted by the TS. Compared with no TS treatments (PL and ML), the aboveground concentrations of pyrene in TS treatments (PLT and MLT) increased by 135 and 30%, respectively, and the underground concentrations of pyrene in TS treatments (PLT and MLT) increased by 40 and 25%. The concentrations of Cd in the aboveground and underground parts in single contaminated treatments were all significantly more than those in co-contaminated treatments, while the situation of pyrene was quite the reverse. Besides, the addition of TS enhanced activities of dehydrogenase and polyphenol oxidase in soils and increased the biomass of L. multiflorum . The micromorphology of L. multiflorum was not affected by TS. The study suggests that the use of L. multiflorum with TS is an alternative technology for remediation of Cd–pyrene co-contaminated soils.

Tea saponin (TS), a kind of biodegradable surfactant, was chosen to improve the accessible solubilization of pyrene and cadmium (Cd) in co-contaminated soils cultivated Lolium multiflorum . TS obviously improved the accessibility of pyrene and Cd for L. multiflorum to accelerate the process of accumulation and elimination of the pollutants. The chemical forms of Cd was transformed from Fe-Mn oxides and associated to carbonates fractions into exchangeable fractions by adding TS in single Cd and pyrene-Cd contaminated soils. Moreover, the chemical forms of pyrene were transformed from associated fraction into bioaccessible fraction by adding TS in pyrene and pyrene-Cd contaminated soils. In pyrene-Cd contaminated soil, the exchangeable fraction of Cd was hindered in the existence of pyrene, and bioaccessible fraction of pyrene was promoted by the cadmium. Besides, in the process of the pyrene degradation and Cd accumulation, the effect could be improved by the elongation of roots with adding TS, and the microorganism activity was stimulated by TS to accelerate the removal of pollutions. Therefore, Planting L. multiflorum combined with adding TS would be an effective method on the phytoremediation of organics and heavy metals co-contaminated soils.

The rapid development of nanotechnology and its widespread use have given rise to serious concerns over the potential adverse impacts of nanomaterials on the Earth’s ecosystems. Among all the nanomaterials, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most extensively used nanomaterials due to their excellent antibacterial property. However, the toxic mechanism of AgNPs in nature is still unclear. One of the questions under debate is whether the toxicity is associated with the size of AgNPs or the silver ions released from AgNPs. In our previous study, a sub-micron hybrid sphere system with polydopamine-stabilized AgNPs (Ag@PDS) was synthesized through a facile and green method, exhibiting superior antibacterial properties. The current study aims to explore the unique toxicity profile of this hybrid sphere system by studying its effect on germination and early growth ofLolium multiflorum, with AgNO3and 15 nm AgNPs as a comparison. The results showed the seed germination was insensitive/less sensitive to all three reagents; however, vegetative growth was more sensitive. Specifically, when the Ag concentration was lower than 40 mg/L, Ag@PDS almost had no adverse effects on the root and shoot growth ofLolium multiflorumseeds. By contrast, when treated with AgNO3at a lower Ag concentration of 5 mg/L, the plant growth was inhibited significantly, and was reduced more in the case of AgNP treatment at the same Ag concentration. As the exposures of Ag@PDS, AgNO3, and AgNPs increased, so did the Ag content in the root and shoot. In general, Ag@PDS was proven to be a potential useful hybrid material that retains antibacterial property with light phytotoxicity.

Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is a highly competitive grass weed capable of severely infesting wheat fields worldwide. In recent years, Chinese farmers are finding it increasingly difficult to control L. multiflorum when using acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides. Accordingly, clarifying the resistance pattern of putative resistant populations of L. multiflorum is important for selecting alternative herbicides for effective weed control. In this study, a putative resistant L. multiflorum population, HN-03, which apparently has survived clodinafop-propargyl treatment under the recommended field application rate, was collected from a wheat field in Zhumadian, Henan, China. Whole-plant bioassay revealed that the HN-03 population had evolved high-level resistance to clodinafop-propargyl. Sequencing of the ACCase gene revealed a point mutation , of TGG to TGT, at codon position 1999, causing a Trp-to-Cys substitution in the resistant plants. The HN-03 population also exhibited cross-resistance to fenoxaprop- P -ethyl, clethodim, and pinoxaden and multiple-resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl and bixlozone, but it remained susceptible to cypyrafluone. Pre-treatment with piperonyl butoxide and malathion considerably increased the susceptibility of the HN-03 population to fenoxaprop- P -ethyl and mesosulfuron-methyl, by 25.3% and 36.6%, respectively. This study shows the L. multiflorum population HN-03 has evolved multiple herbicide resistance due to both a target-site mutation and P450s-mediated enhanced metabolism. Cypyrafluone can be used as an alternative herbicide to control resistant L. multiflorum , and it might be potentially helpful for improving the management of herbicide resistance in other aggressive weeds.

Nonylphenol (NP) and cadmium (Cd), very toxic to microorganisms , plants, and animals, are often detected simultaneously in soil and water. Selenium (Se) is important to microorganisms and plants. A pot experiment was carried out to explore the effect of Se on the efficiency of ryegrass in the remediation of NP-Cd co-contaminated soil. The removal rate of soil NP and Cd increased by 6.2 % and 30.8 %, respectively, with the application of exogenous Se in NP-contaminated soil (50 mg·kg −1 ). The selenium significantly increased the catalase activity (11.5–24.5%), but decreased the activities of acid phosphatase (5.5–9.0 %), invertase (19.8–22.5 %), and urease (11.1–18.4 %) in NP contaminated soil (50 mg·kg −1 ) ( p <0.05). The selenium also increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria, including Massilia , Burkholderiaceae , Micrococcales, and Sphingomonas in the NP-Cd co-contaminated soil. These bacteria are closely related to Cd and NP pollution remediation. In summary, applying Se to the contaminated soil effectively improved the efficiency of the phytoremediation of NP and Cd, and also increased the relative abundance and diversity of microorganisms in the NP-Cd co-contaminated soil. These findings can attract practical interest in phytoremediation measures of organic and heavy metals co-contaminated soil.

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorumL.), a cross-pollinated grass, is gradually becoming a predominant weed in wheat fields in China and is evolving resistance to many groups of herbicides. The aim of this study is to determine the resistance levels of a singleL. multiflorumpopulation from a wheat field in Henan Province China, to three modes of action (MoAs) of herbicides and to further characterize the potential resistance mechanisms. ThisL. multiflorumpopulation evolved multiple herbicide resistances to pyroxsulam [acetolactate synthase (ALS)], pinoxaden [acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)] and isoproturon [photosystem II (PSII)]. Target-site resistance (TSR) mutations (Pro-197-Gln, Pro-197-Thr, and Trp-574-Leu) and non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mediated by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP450) genes were associated with pyroxsulam resistance. Pinoxaden resistance was conferred by two TSR mutations, which referred to a rare Ile-2041-Val mutation and a common Ile-1781-Leu mutation but with two different nucleotide substitutions (CTA/TTA). CYP450- and glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-mediated resistances were the main resistance mechanisms for this multiple herbicide-resistant (MHR) population to the PSII inhibitor isoproturon. This is the first case of a singleL. multiflorumpopulation evolving multiple resistance to three herbicide MoAs (ALS, ACCase and PSII) in China. Diverse resistance mechanisms including TSR and NTSR meanL. multiflorumexhibits a high degree of resistance plasticity.Keywords:Lolium multiflorumL.;pyroxsulam;pinoxaden;isoproturon;multiple herbicide resistance;TSR;CYP450;GST
