Published: July 2017

Two new flavans, named (2S)-2',4'-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-8-methylflavan (1) and (2S)-2'-hydroxy-4',7-dimethoxy-8-methylflavan (2) were isolated from the roots of Dianella ensifolia. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic measurements and comparison with data reported in literatures. Compounds 1 and 2 displayed cytotoxic effects against cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, B16-F10, HCT116 and A549.

Recycling sewage sludge (SS) as a soil amendment potentially causes soil heavy metals (HMs) contamination. This study investigated the potential roles of landscape plants co-planting in SS-amended soil remediation. Three landscape trees Mangifera persiciforma, Bischofia javanica, and Neolamarckia cadamba (NC), and three ground cover plants Dianella ensifolia, Syngonium podophyllum, and Schefflera odorata (SO) were selected for the tree-ground cover co-planting.

Landscape plants have great potentials in heavy metals (HMs) removal as sewage sludge compost (SSC) is increasingly used in urban forestry. We hypothesize that woody plants might perform better in HMs phytoremediation because they have greater biomass and deeper roots than herbaceous plants. We tested the differences in growth responses and HMs phytoremediation among several herbaceous and woody species growing under different SSC concentrations through pot experiments.
