Abstract Hexavalent Chromium is a major soil pollutant; thus, its remediation from soil deserves due attention. Phytoremediation is an area of active current research which is eco-friendly and economic. Use of leguminous plants for phytoremediation will improve soil quality, fertility and nutrient balance and would help in restoration of natural soil ecosystem. The present study focuses on the use of two commonly growing legumes; Cicer arietinum (RP1) and Vigna mungo (RP2) to explore their remediation potential towards Cr(VI) with concentration ranging from 100-900 mg kg−1 with the growth up to three weeks and were assessed for remediation potential and toxicity parameters. Higher percentage of decrease in root and shoot length was observed in RP2 as compared to RP1. Chlorophyll content was also found to be decreasing with increasing Cr stress in both the species. RP2 recorded higher BCF than RP1. Highest bioaccumulation factor 4.32 was observed in RP2 at 400 mg kg−1 concentration. Translocation factor >1 was observed in both the plants with highest as 1.67 at 600 mg kg−1 in RP2 and 1.93 at 400 mg kg−1 in RP1. Remediation percentage of 72.25% in RP2 at 600 mg kg−1 and 73.13% at 400 mg kg−1 in RP1 was observed. Both the plants showed high tolerance and remediation potential towards Cr(VI) therefore has a great phytoremediation prospect, however, RP2 can be preferred over RP1.

Cicer Arietinum L

Trace metals (TM) contamination is a severe problem in the environment and produced an adverse effect on the productivity of crops. Cadmium (Cd) is a TM ranked seven among the top 20 pollutants due to its high toxicity and solubility in water, taken up by the plants and affects their growth and metabolism. In this study, we evaluated the growth, Cd accumulation and tolerance capacities of three chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars (NC234 (NC2), ICCV89310 (IC8) and ICCV89323-B (IC8-B)), subjected to two Cd concentrations (25 and 50 µM) in hydroponic culture. The toxicity of Cd reduced the plant height and fresh and dry biomass in all cultivars. The maximum reduction was observed at 50 µM of Cd. Compared with IC8-B, cultivars IC8 and NC2 exhibited better performance with high growth, biomass, root to shoot (R/S) ratio and water content under high Cd stress. To measure the accumulation of Cd in root and shoot, an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) was used. IC8 and NC2 had comparatively high Cd tolerance and accumulation ability (> 100 µg g−1 dry weight), with IC8 being more tolerant and accumulated higher Cd in shoot than NC2, while cultivar IC8-B was sensitive. Root accumulated more Cd than shoot in a dose-dependent manner. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) and bioaccumulation coefficients (BAC) were far higher than one (> 1) and increased with an increase in Cd concentrations, while the translocation factor (TF) was less than one (< 1), suggesting that all the three cultivars were unable to transfer Cd from the root to the shoot efficiently. Our results indicated that IC8 and NC2 proved to be resistant, while IC8-B showed sensitivity when exposed to high Cd stress (50 µM).

The aim was to ascertain whether the process of sprouting reduced the concentration of antinutritional factors in Vigna radiata, Macrotyloma uniflorum, Vigna mungo (L) and Cicer arietinum (L) belonging to Fabaceae family. Nutrition is the most important concern in everyones diet plan and is also a need to have balanced food. Care must also be taken towards the anti-nutritional factors that inhibit the absorption of nutrients thereby decreasing the nutritional value of the food. The pulses were screened for major specific anti nutrients (tannins, phytic acid, alkaloids and cyanogenic glycosides) before and after sprouting. The process of sprouting decreased the concentration of tannins, phytic acids and cyanogenic glycosides whereas the alkaloid concentration was increased.

Cicer Arietinum L

El garbanzo (Cicer arietinum L.) es una de las principales leguminosas de grano cultivadas en el mundo. México es de los diez principales productores a nivel mundial con una producción total de 171 mil toneladas de grano. Este cultivo presenta alto nivel de autogamia y de monotonía genética, lo que dificulta la diferenciación de genotipos élite. En este estudio preliminar se evaluó la variabilidad de 57 genotipos de diferentes áreas geográficas mediante caracteres morfológicos y marcadores moleculares tipo RAPD e ISSR. El análisis de correspondencia múltiple mostró que los mayores valores discriminantes fueron el color de la flor azul y semillas grandes y de forma redondeada, pero el agrupamiento respectivo no diferenció a las accesiones, incluyendo las especies silvestres; sin embargo, el análisis UPGMA logró una mejor separación. Los marcadores RAPD aun cuando generaron perfiles de ADN, no fueron informativos, mientras que los ISSR diferenciaron a las 57 accesiones de C. arietinum utilizadas y a la especie silvestre C. reticulatum, lo que los hace buenos candidatos para caracterizar este cultivo. Este estudio sirvió como base para desarrollar otro sistema de marcadores moleculares más eficiente en esta especie.

Basmati rice is increasingly recognized and consumed in different parts of the world due to its different tastes and nutritional properties. This research focused on determining the cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) content in locally grown basmati rice in Pakistan and assessing the risks of these values to human health. Root, shoot and grain samples of basmati rice were taken, along with soil samples from the five regions studied. Metal mean concentrations (mg/kg) in grains fluctuated from 2.70 to 9.80 for Cd, 4.80 to 9.85 for Zn, 1.16 to 1.46 for Cu, 1.84 to 10.86 for Co, 2.05 to 13.07 for Fe, 5.03 to 11.11 for Mn and 3.24 to 13.28 for Ni, respectively. All metal values were within permissible limits except for Cd. The enrichment factor for Cd was highest among all sites. Cobalt and zinc had the highest bioaccumulation factor and translocation factor. The highest enrichment factor was noticed for Cd and the lowest for Cu. The health risk index at all examined sites was less than one. Consistent examination is recommended to limit health hazards instigated by the use of rice polluted with a greater concentration of Cd.
