Bioaccumulation efficacy and physio-morphological adaptations in response to iron and aluminium contamination of Indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica L.) using different growth substrates.

The aim of this study was to assess the removal capability of Fe/Al contamination of Indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica; hereafter, P. indica) using different growth substrates (100% sand, gardening soil, vermiculite, and zeolite). In addition, the study aimed at observing the physio-morphological adaptation strategies of P.

Iron (Fe) toxicity, uptake, translocation, and physio-morphological responses in .

Unlabelled: Iron (Fe) toxicity in plant species depends on the availability of Fe in the soil, uptake ability by the root system, and translocation rate to other parts of the plant. The aim of this study was to assess Fe uptake by root tissues of , translocation rate to leaf tissues, and the impairment of plant physio-morphological characteristics. Fe uptake by the roots (~ 700 µg g DW) of was observed during the early exposure period (1 week), and translocation factor from root to shoot was fluctuated as an independent strategy.

Toxicity, physiological, and morphological alterations of Indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica) in response to excess copper.

Indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica (L.) Less.) is used as herbal tea due to the presence of volatile aromatic oils and several phytochemical compounds.

Characterization of macrophytes for Na removal in synthetic Na-salt solution batch under greenhouse conditions.

Sodium salt contamination in the fresh water due to industrial effluents, underground rock salts and inland aquaculture is a major concern needs to be remediated, and subsequently recycled as sustainable bioeconomic strategy. Treatment of saline wastewater requires efficient, cost-effective, rapid, and green technologies, so as to mitigate the negative impacts of salinity on agricultural land. Green technology of phytodesalination is proposed to reduce salinity in the wastewater using salt tolerant plant species.
