Journal ArticleDOI
The role of glomalin, a protein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, in sequestering potentially toxic elements.
Ma. del Carmen A. González-Chávez,Rogelio Carrillo-González,Sara F. Wright,Kristine A. Nichols +3 more
TL;DR: Glomalin should be considered for biostabilization leading to remediation of polluted soils, as an insoluble glycoprotein produced in copious amounts on hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi sequesters PTEs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal accumulation in wild plants surrounding mining wastes
TL;DR: Plant metal analysis revealed that most species did not translocate metals to their aerial parts, therefore they behave as excluder plants and some of the wild plants are potentially metal tolerant, because they were able to grow in highly polluted substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity assessment of soil amended with tannery sludge, trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium, using wheat, oat and sorghum plants.
J. López-Luna,Ma. del Carmen A. González-Chávez,Fernando Esparza-García,R. Rodríguez-Vázquez +3 more
TL;DR: Root growth was the most sensitive assessment of Cr toxicity and there was a significant correlation (P<0.0001) between Cr accumulation in dry tissue and toxic effects on seedling growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) for phytoremediation of mine tailings and oil production.
Alejandro Ruiz Olivares,Rogelio Carrillo-González,Ma. del Carmen A. González-Chávez,Ramón Marcos Soto Hernández +3 more
TL;DR: This work is the first report regarding combined oil production and a phytostabilization role for Ricinus plants in metal mine tailings and may give a new value to suitable metal-polluted areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil microbial community, C, N, and P responses to long-term tillage and crop rotation
Ma. del Carmen A. González-Chávez,Jacqueline A. Aitkenhead-Peterson,Terry J. Gentry,David A. Zuberer,Frank M. Hons,Richard H. Loeppert +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of long-term (25 years) no-till and conventional tillage management and cropping sequence [continuous wheat (CW; Triticum aestivum L.) and a rotation of sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), wheat and soybean (RW; Glycine max L. Merr)] on soil microbial community structure and labile and recalcitrant microbial bio-products in central Texas were determined.
