Copper (Cu) is essential to plants but can also be harmful due to Fenton chemistry. Because of that, it is necessary to keep Cu within a narrow concentration limit. Plants evolved mechanisms to sense Cu …

For many years, copper-based fungicides have been used in viticulture and have contributed to increasing concentrations in soils. Today, it is not uncommon to find vineyard soils with total copper topsoil concentrations above 100 mg kg −1, which may have consequences for both the environment and human health.Phytoremediation, the …

In plants, copper (Cu) acts as essential cofactor of numerous proteins. While the definitive number of these so-called cuproproteins is unknown, they perform central functions in plant cells. As micronutrient, a minimal amount of Cu is needed to ensure cellular functions. However, Cu excess may exert in contrast detrimental effects on plant …

Heavy metal contamination is a major health issue concerning the commercial production of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) that are used for the extraction of bioactive molecules. Copper (Cu) is an anthropogenic contaminant that, at toxic levels, can accumulate in plant tissues, affecting plant growth and development. …

High concentrations of copper are toxic to plants that cannot survive in soils containing too much copper as the question state. However, many monkey flowers have evolved and they have resistance to this toxicity, also managing to survive in soils with high copper concentration. It is because, earlier the monkey flower population had …

Copper shows a hermetic effect (dual role) inside plants, positive at low/optimum levels, while toxic at high concentration due to its high redox properties …

Copper is an essential element for plants, but its higher concentration can make disruption in plant growth. The current study was conducted to determine the impact of excess copper (Control 0.2 ...

Here, we assess the growth performance and copper concentration of four leafy vegetables: Water spinach, amaranth, pakchoi, and garland chrysanthemum in copper-contaminated soil. The plant's height and fresh weight is dramatically reduced when the soil copper concentration is over ~250 mg·kg−1. This yield reduction and copper …

However, for another type of plants, this higher zinc concentration can cause leaf chlorosis (Qiao et al. 2019), inhibition of growth (Baker and Walker 1990), or inhibition of photosynthesis (DalCorso et al. 2013). Higher concentration of Zn can inhibit plant growth, especially growth of roots, which was observed by Sresty and Madhava Rao .

The current review focuses on the availability and uptake of Cu by plants. The toxic effects of excess Cu on seed germination, plant growth and development, photosynthesis, and …

Figure 1-3: Breakdown of the wastewater treatment plant copper sources for Palo Alto, CA (a) Industrial, (b) Commercial and (c) Residential. Viewed from the perspective of copper concentration in sewage influent (Figure 1-4), corrosion contributes as little as 20 ppb to sewage influents in some cities and as much as 130 ppb in

(Marschner 1995), reported that concentration of copper in plant tissues . is ranged between 1 and 5 μg g-1 dry we ight however average composition of cop per in leaves is 10 μg .

It is toxic to plants at high concentration. ... M. Differential effects of plant root systems on nickel, copper and silver bioavailability in contaminated soil. Chemosphere 168, 131–138 (2017).

The critical concentrations (above which plants exhibit toxic effects) of copper and zinc are 20 and 200 μg.g −1 dry weight, respectively; critical toxicity level of manganese is 200 μg.g −1 dry weight in corn, while it is 5300 μg.g −1 dry weight for sunflower. Root growth is the first one to be affected by micronutrient toxicity.

The concentration of Cu in all plant parts i.e., root, stem leaves, and pod/fruit were increased with increased Cu levels in soil. In A. esculentus, A. sativa, G. abyssinica, and …

The metals concentration in plant becomes higher, and the toxicity of EDTA acts not only by itself, but also through toxic metals as well; the concentration of copper in plants harvested from S5 is the lowest, but it is interesting that the concentration in roots is the highest, much higher than in S3 and S4 experiments.

The optimal copper concentration for healthy plant growth ranges from 2-20 mg L-1 (Thompson, Hall, and Meerdink, 1991). Because of the redox-active transition metal nature of copper, copper may bind to sulfhydryl groups in protein which may lead to the inhibition of protein activity and disruption of the protein structure (Tanyolac et al., 2006).

matter in most species (Farid et al. 2021). Copper concentration varies as a function of species, stage of growth, and environmental factors. The Cu concen-tration in soil …

Copper Wire Impacts on Plant Growth. Copper is a trace element that can be found naturally in soils, ranging from 2 to 100 parts per million (ppm). Most plants produce between 8 and 20 ppm of copper. Although copper is essential for plant growth, it can be toxic in high concentrations, potentially causing damage to plant tissues.

Copper is used as a feed additive for pigs at 125–250 ppm; concentrations >250 ppm are potentially toxic—although as for sheep, other factors may be protective, eg, high concentrations of protein, zinc, or iron. Chronic copper toxicosis is more likely to occur with low dietary intake of molybdenum and sulfur.

2.2. Sample analyses. Total copper concentration (AQ); The concentration of total Cu in collected soil samples were determined by the aqua regia method using concentrated HCl and HNO 3 [35], where 2 g of soil were coldly digested first with 1 ml of HNO 3 for 1 hour, followed by hot digestion by additional 1 ml of HNO 3 and 2 ml of HCl …

Under typical gold cyanidation conditions, Cu (CN) 3 2-has been shown to be the dominant species from the Eh–pH diagram for the copper–cyanide–water system (Osseo-Asare et al., 1984, Lu et al., 2002a).However, in the presence of hypersaline waters, as typically found in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, it has been shown by …

Copper concentrations in plant tissue samples from the shorelines of 6 urban stormwater ponds. Note logarithmic scale of y-axis. ... Copper concentrations in water were positively and strongly correlated (correlation coefficient >0.50) with NH 4 —N, ortho-P, and total dissolved P concentrations in water and with sediment Cu and P ...

Its concentration in plant tissue ranges from 5 to 20 ppm and in soil from 2 to 100 ppm (mg kg -­ ). However, most of the copper in the soil is not available for plants. Availability of copper increases in soil pH below 7.0 and decreases at a higher pH, due to fixation to soil clay minerals. Copper tends to easily bind to organic matter.

2.1. Plant materials and growth conditions. Arabidopsis thaliana (cv.Col‐0) was used in all experiments unless otherwise stated. Plants were grown hydroponically in magenta boxes to control copper concentrations as described in (Cho et al., 2017; Simpson & Dean, 2002; Yan et al., 2017).Copper was added at the indicated …

In experiments with rapeseed (Brassica napus L., cv. Westar) plants, it was confirmed that copper was considerably more toxic than zinc. The toxic effects of 50 and 150 μM CuSO4 were comparable to those of 1000 and 2500 μM ZnSO4. The analysis of the effects of these concentrations of copper and zinc on photosynthetic pigment contents …

Copper in a concentration of 6.25 mg/L has a negative effect upon the growth of the roots (12% growth diminution) and the stem (16% growth diminution) of the alfalfa seedlings after 14 days. As regards the Lolium perenne plants, copper in concentrations lower than 6.25 mg/L does not inhibit the growth of either roots or stems.

Key message A newly developed copper-inducible gene expression system overcame the mixed results reported earlier, worked well both in cultured cells and a whole plant, and enabled to control flowering timing.
