The removal of contaminants from the environment can be enhanced by interactions between structurally-related plant secondary metabolites (PSMs), selected xenobiotics and microorganisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selected PSMs (ferulic acid—FA; syringic acid—SA) on the removal of structurally-similar phenoxy herbicides (PHs): 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA). The study also examines the biodegradation potential of soil bacteria, based on the occurrence of functional tdfA-like genes, and the ecotoxicity of the samples against two test species: Sinapis alba L. and Lepidium sativum L. The microbial cultures spiked with the PSMs demonstrated higher phenoxy acid removal: 97–100% in the case of 2,4-D and 99%–100% for MCPA. These values ranged from 5% to 100% for control samples not amended with FA or SA. The higher herbicide removal associated with PSM spiking can be attributed to acceleration of the microbial degradation processes. Our findings showed that the addition of SA particularly stimulated the occurrence of the total number of tfdA genes, with this presence being higher than that observed in the unamended samples. PSM spiking was also found to have a beneficial effect on ecotoxicity mitigation, reflected in high (102%) stimulation of root growth by the test species.

Abstract Two solid-phase enzyme immunoassays were developed to measure 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), using 2 sets of structurally distinct immunogens and enzyme ligands. The 2,4-D analog, 2-methyl- 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), gave a similar response with both methods, whereas other phenoxy herbicides cross-reacted differently. In method A, the aromatic moiety of 2,4-D was distal from the carrier protein and labeled enzyme, whereas in method B, the acetic acid portion of the herbicide was distal. The use of both methods to screen for this herbicide in ground water and municipal and river water reduced the number of false-positive responses. Water sources having a low background response could be monitored with either method alone. When a concentration step, with disposable C18 extraction columns, was used, the limit of sensitivity was 5 ng/L,. Method A was the more sensitive of the 2 methods with a limit of detection of 10 j*g/L without the concentration step

Greenhouse studies on control of saltcedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall.), a problem phreatophyte, showed that when one of three hygroscopic compounds, polypropylenediol (a mixture of polypropylenediols with molecular weights ranging from 375 to 425) was added to water solutions of phenoxy herbicides, it significantly increased injury from most treatments. Injury to foliage from all herbicides tested, except the oil-soluble amine formulations (a mixture containing 80% tertiary dodecyl and 20% tertiary tetradecyl amine) of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) propionic acid (silvex), and 2,4-D plus 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4,5-T) (1:1), increased when polypropylenediol was added to the spray solution at 5% by volume. The increased activity was affected by the rate of the additive, temperature, humidity, and herbicide formulation.

Abstract. Faramayuda F, Mariani TS, Elfahmi, Sukrasno. 2020. Short Communication: Callus induction in purple and white-purple varieties of Orthosiphon aristatus (Blume) Miq. Biodiversitas 21: 4967-4972. Orthosiphon aristatus (Blume) Miq. are known to have many benefits, including stimulating urine expenditure (diuretics) and dissolving kidney stones. O. aristatus widely planted in Indonesia are purple and white-purple. The main secondary metabolite components of O. aristatus are sinensetin, rosmarinic acid, and eupatorin. One of the initial steps to increase secondary metabolites in O. aristatus is by induction of callus using plant tissue, which later can be developed into a culture suspension for secondary metabolites. The materials used are the leaf of two varieties of O. aristatus that have been sterilized and grown on Murashige and Skoog media with growth regulatory 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid at a concentration of 0.4;1.0; 2.0 mg/L. The identification of secondary metabolites of callus was carried out by thin-layer chromatography. The best growth regulating agent for callus induction on the leaves of purple and white-purple varieties of O. aristatus is 2,4-D 0.4 mg/L on Murashige and Skoog media. These media can grow callus at a faster time, friable, and slightly white-yellow color. The identification of secondary metabolites in callus acetone extract showed the presence of sinensetin and rosmarinic acid.

Rejasa (Elaeocarpus grandiflorus) is a Salatiga identity plant which is now rarely found. Rejasa produces secondary metabolites that have the potential as drugs. This study tested the growth of rejasa callus in the medium with the addition of various types and concentrations of growth regulators. The independent variables used were the type and concentration of growth regulators (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) with concentrations of 1.5; 2.5 and 3.5 ppm and Picloram with a concentration of 3.5; 5; and 7.5 ppm). The dependent variable in this study was the growth of callus regeneration (percentage of callus growth, time of callus formation and morphology of callus) observed for five months in dark conditions. Explants used were young petiolus and the medium used in this study was medium Murashige and Skoog (MS). The results showed the lowest percentage of callus induction was found in explants with the addition of Picloram growth regulators with a concentration of 7.5 ppm (14%). Explants maintained in the medium with the addition of Picloram with a concentration of 5 ppm resulted in the highest percentage of callus induction. The time of callus induction is in the range of 10-22 days. The explants with the addition of Picloram growth regulator substances with a concentration of 5 ppm had the best callus induction time, which was 12 days. Most of the callus formed was friable and yellowish. Based on the results of this research, the best medium for callus induction of rejasa in dark conditions was medium with the addition of 5 ppm Picloram.   Rejasa (Elaeocarpus grandiflorus) adalah tanaman identitas Salatiga yang mulai jarang ditemukan. Pertumbuhan populasinya memiliki perkembangan yang lambat. Perkembangan generatif melalui perkecambahan biji terjadi dalam tingkat yang sangat rendah. Dalam kelangkaannya, rejasa memiliki khasiat sebagai tanaman obat melalui metabolit sekunder yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini menguji pertumbuhan kalus rejasa dalam variasi jenis dan konsentrasi zat pengatur tumbuh. Variabel bebas yang digunakan adalah jenis dan konsentrasi zat pengatur tumbuh (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) dengan konsentrasi 1,5; 2,5; dan 3,5 ppm serta pikloram dengan konsentrasi 3,5; 5; dan 7,5 ppm). Variabel terikat dalam penelitian ini adalah pertumbuhan kalus rejasa (persentase tumbuh kalus, waktu berkalus, dan morfologi kalus) dalam medium yang diamati selama 5 bulan. Eksplan yang digunakan adalah tangkai muda yang ditanam dalam medium agar Murashige & Skoog dengan penambahan zat pengatur tumbuh 2,4-D dan pikloram dalam berbagai konsentrasi dan dipelihara dalam kondisi gelap. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan persentase induksi kalus paling rendah terdapat pada eksplan dengan penambahan zat pengatur tumbuh pikloram dengan konsentrasi 7,5 ppm (14%). Eksplan yang dipelihara pada medium dengan penambahan pikloram konsentrasi 5 ppm memghasilkan persentasi induksi kalus tertinggi. Waktu induksi kalus berada dalam rentang 10-22 hari. Eksplan dengan penambahan zat pengatur tumbuh pikloram konsentrasi 5 ppm memiliki rerata waktu induksi kalus paling baik yaitu 12 hari. Kalus yang terbentuk dominan berwarna kekuningan dengan jenis meremah. Berdasarkan hasil penelitiaan, medium yang paling baik untuk induksi kalus dalam kondisi gelap adalah medium MS dengan penambahan zat pengatur tumbuh pikloram konsentrasi 5 ppm.
