TLDR
The effects of oils on respiration are variable, but an increase of respiration rate often occurs, possibly due to mitochondrial damage resulting in an ‘uncoupling’ effect.About:

Influence of diesel fuel on seed germination
Gillian Adam,Harry J. Duncan +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest the volatile fraction of diesel fuel played an influential role in delaying seed emergence and reducing percentage germination, and the remaining diesel fuel in the soil added to this inhibitory effect on germination by physically impeding water and oxygen transfer between the seed and the surrounding soil environment, thus hindering the germination response.

Joseph P. Salanitro,Philip B. Dorn,Michael H. Huesemann,Keith O. Moore,Ileana A. L. Rhodes,Lesa M. Rice Jackson,Tim E. Vipond,Margaret M. Western,Halina L. Wisniewski +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the limits and extent of hydrocarbon biodegradation, earthworm and plant toxicity, and waste leachability of crude oil-containing soils were determined, and three oils (heavy, medium, and light of API gravity 14, 30, and 55, respectively) were mixed into silty loamy soils containing low (0.3%) or high (4.7%) organic carbon at 4000−27 000 mg/kg TPH.

The effects of oil spill and clean-up on dominant US Gulf coast marsh macrophytes: a review.
TL;DR: The objective of this review was to synthesize existing information regarding the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marsh macrophytes in a manner that will help guide research and improve spill-response efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative bioremediation of heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons co-contaminated soil by natural attenuation, phytoremediation, bioaugmentation and bioaugmentation-assisted phytoremediation.
Ana Carolina Agnello,Ana Carolina Agnello,M. Bagard,E.D. van Hullebusch,Giovanni Esposito,David Huguenot +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study demonstrated that the combined use of plant and bacteria was the most advantageous option for the treatment of the present co-contaminated soil, as compared to natural attenuation, bioaugmentation or phytoremediation applied alone.

Bioremediation of gasoline contaminated soil by a bacterial consortium amended with poultry litter, coir pith and rhamnolipid biosurfactant.
K. S. M. Rahman,Ibrahim M. Banat,J Thahira,Tha. Thayumanavan,Perumalsamy Lakshmanaperumalsamy +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted for a period of 90 days during which bacterial growth, hydrocarbon degradation and growth parameters of Phaseolus aureus RoxB including seed germination, chlorophyll content, shoot and root length were measured.

Mode of Action of Phytotoxic Oils
J. Van Overbeek,René Blondeau +1 more
TL;DR: The use of petro1 leum oils as agricultural chemical agents has been extensively studied in the literature as mentioned in this paper, where the main reasons for the use of oils as herbicides are that they are especially suitable for the elimination of weedy grasses and that they do not harm crop plants by toxic residues in the soil.
