The application of phytoremediation in treating heavy metals from waste water has gained much attention during the last 2 decades. The metal hyperaccumulating properties of many plants, especially aquatic macrophytes, support the use of a plant-based system for treatment of waste waters containing metals (1). Macrophytes such as Eichhornia, Lemna, Spirodella, Azolla, Phragmites, and Pistia have been used for the removal of heavy metals from waste waters (1–5). These macrophytes are perennial… Expand

Effects of ethylene biosynthesis and signaling on oxidative stress and antioxidant defense system in Nelumbo nucifera G. under cadmium exposure
TLDR
The results suggest that ethylene biosynthesis and signaling play an important role in N. nucifera response to Cd stress, and maintaining appropriate ethylene level and low ethylene sensitivity could improve its Cd tolerance via efficient antioxidant defenses. Expand
A model for integrated approach to germplasm conservation of Asian lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)
TLDR
Possible conservation strategies are proposed with a view to draw the attention of policy makers and stakeholders for prioritizing this species in various biodiversity-related programs of the country, besides promoting it as a potential food and nutraceutical species. Expand

Aquatic macrophytes potential for the simultaneous removal of heavy metals (Buenos Aires, Argentina).
TLDR
Three autochthonous floating macrophytes, common in pampean shallow lakes (Argentina), Pista stratiotes, Spirodela intermedia and Lemna minor were used in laboratory experiences for the simultaneously removal of several heavy metals resulting from anthropogenic activity, in order to simulate a naturally polluted environment. Expand
Heavy metal pollution induced due to coal mining effluent on surrounding aquatic ecosystem and its management through naturally occurring aquatic macrophytes.
TLDR
Three aquatic plants Eichhornia crassipes, Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhhiza were used in laboratory for the removal of heavy metals from the coal mining effluent and analysis results showed that plant roots have accumulated heavy metals approximately 10 times of its initial concentration.

Metal hyperaccumulation in plants: Biodiversity prospecting for phytoremediation technology
TLDR
The importance of biodiversity (below and above ground) is increasingly considered for the cleanup of the metal contaminated and polluted ecosystems, and plants that hyperaccumulate metals have tremendous potential for application in remediation of metals in the environment. Expand
Metal uptake, transport and release by wetland plants: implications for phytoremediation and restoration.
TLDR
This paper reviews studies that investigate the effects of plants on metals in wetlands and suggests that metals in litter are available to deposit feeders and, thus, can enter estuarine food webs. Expand
Accumulation of lead, zinc, copper and cadmium by 12 wetland plant species thriving in metal-contaminated sites in China.
The concentrations of lead, zinc, copper and cadmium accumulated by 12 emergent-rooted wetland plant species including different populations of Leersia hexandra, Juncus effusus and Equisetum… Expand
Cadmium uptake by floating macrophytes.
TLDR
The macrophyte was able to keep its capacity for Cd removal even though some toxicity symptoms appeared at 4 and 6 mg Cd 1(-1), and the increased Cd concentration in plant tissues occurred especially in roots and was linearly related to the quantity of Cd added. Expand
Phytoremediation of chromium by model constructed wetland.
TLDR
Penisetum purpureum showed the greatest potential for the phytoremediation of solutions containing 10 and 20 mg Cr dm(-3) because its faster growth and larger biomass achieved a much greater chromium removal over the whole length of time of the experiment. Expand
Chromium Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Different Plant Species
