Cytogenotoxicity evaluation of heavy metals detected in extracts and infusion of Baccharis trimera , potential bioaccumulator plant

Heavy metals (HMs) are natural components of the Earth's crust that might originate from natural and anthropogenic sources. In excess quantities, the presence of these metals is harmful for both environment and human health. Taking this into account, various investigators examined bioaccumulato...

Description
Summary:Heavy metals (HMs) are natural components of the Earth's crust that might originate from natural and anthropogenic sources. In excess quantities, the presence of these metals is harmful for both environment and human health. Taking this into account, various investigators examined bioaccumulator species in order to reduce environmental toxicity, among these . Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the capacity of to bioaccumulate HMs and assess consequent cytogenotoxicity following exposure. vegetative parts were collected from two groups (1) control, in which plants were cultivated in soil exposed to distilled water, and (2) exposed, in which plants were cultivated in soil exposed to HMs including manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), and chromium (Cr). HMs were quantified in cultivation soil and extracts (aqueous and ethanolic) as well as infusion of vegetative parts. Root lengths and cytogenotoxic effects were determined using test. Results demonstrated that all HMs studied were absorbed and bioaccumulated by . Root lengths were decreased when exposed to ethanolic extract of cultivated in soil exposed to HMs solution, which was the extract that exhibited the highest cytogenotoxicity values. Thus, data demonstrated that might serve as a bioaccumulator for the reduction of environmental toxicity associated with the presence of certain HMs.
