  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities in sand bars associated with Ipomoea pes-caprae: a promising strategy for petroleum spill bioremediation in coastal dunes
    Ocimar F. de Andrade, Eliane S. de Souza, Camila P. Nobre, Fernanda de Avila Abreu, Manildo M. de Oliveira, Daniel B. Zandonadi, Victor B. Saraiva, Rodrigo L. Martins
    Restoration Ecology, 2026
    Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of petroleum‐derived compounds known for causing cellular damage and for their recalcitrant behavior, severely limit effective biodegradation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from oil‐contaminated environments can mitigate PAH‐related stress on host plants, highlighting the bioremediation potential of associations between native AMF and local plant species. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the role of native AMF–plant associations in the bioremediation of petroleum‐contaminated dune sand, using Ipomoea pes‐caprae as a model pioneer species. To this end, a native AMF inoculum derived from sandbars of the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, southeastern Brazil, was applied in a controlled experiment simulating an oil spill. Methods The inoculum, propagated in trap pots, consisted of three dominant sporocarpic Glomus species native to the study area. Ipomoea pes‐caprae cuttings were rooted in vitro and transplanted into sterilized sandbar sediment. To simulate an oil spill, 8 g of petroleum were applied to each pot, with or without bioaugmentation (sediment + plant + AMF + oil [SPFO] and sediment + plant + oil treatments), over 48 days. Residual hydrocarbons were compared with a natural attenuation control (sediment + oil). Results The bioaugmented treatment (SPFO) showed reductions in hydrocarbon concentrations, with 34.8% terpane degradation and 45.4% PAH degradation. PAH accumulation within intraroot fungal structures was confirmed through fluorescence microscopy and image analysis. Conclusion This study demonstrates that AMF enhance the performance of I. pes‐caprae under petroleum contamination, strengthening plant–fungus interactions in coastal dunes. Native AMF improved early stabilization and supported the plant's capacity to cope with hydrocarbon stress, confirming their ecological relevance for restoring oil‐affected coastal systems.
  • Humic acids as drivers of plant growth: regulating root development and photobiology through redox modulation
    Daniel Basílio Zandonadi, Hiarhi Monda, Jason Gralian, Aletia James, Richard T. Lamar, Mirella Pupo Santos
    Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2025
    Background Humic acids (HA) influence plant growth and development through various mechanisms that depend on the source and concentration of HA, as well as the specific plant organ and its developmental stage. Acting as biostimulants, these substances elicit stress-like responses and trigger physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes in plants that involve redox homeostasis. Therefore, we aimed to understand how purified HA derived from oxidized sub-bituminous coal impacts growth, redox states and photobiology in plants. After identifying the optimal HA dosage, plants were evaluated for their growth and photobiological responses, enzyme activities, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and selected gene expression. Results An HA concentration of 20 mg L−1 of carbon significantly enhanced most morphological and photobiological parameters. HA modulated the electron transport across the thylakoid membrane, thereby influencing the proton motive force and ATP synthesis. We also observed improved root growth within finer root diameter classes, which enhances foraging capacity and contributes to better nutrient absorption. HA stimulated fast ROS production, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, and increased H+-ATPase activity in roots. In addition, HA induced the expression of the roothairless5 (rth5) gene, which is involved in root hair growth. Furthermore, HA promoted the activity of H+-ATPase, RBOH and NADH oxidases, and changed the expression of genes, such as ZmSOD4, ZmCAT3, ZmPIN1b, ZmEXPA4, ZmLAX3, ZmHA2, and ZmTOR. Conclusions These findings suggest that HA promote plant development in roots by modulating oxidative stress through the RBOH/ROS/auxin/H+-ATPase pathways while potentially influencing photobiological processes via their electron-donating and accepting properties. These effects may be attributed to the interplay between the pro-oxidant (e.g., quinones and semiquinone radicals) and the antioxidant functionalities (e.g., polyphenols) inherent in HA, both contributing to the observed eustress response. The coordinated action of the RBOH, H+-ATPase, and TOR pathways likely help maintain a positive membrane oxidative balance, supporting root growth and development. Graphical abstract
  • Humic acids modify root architecture in Arabidopsis through H+-ATPase-dependent target of rapamycin activation in concert with Ca2+ and ROS signaling
    Mirella Pupo Santos, Milan Zupunski, Hiarhi Monda, Jason Gralian, Aletia James, Guido Grossmann, Richard T. Lamar, Daniel Basílio Zandonadi
    Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2025
    Background Humic acids (HA) function as plant biostimulants, enhancing plant metabolism by activating the primary proton transport system, which promotes root growth. This study investigated the effects of HA on root growth, H+ extrusion, Ca2+ signaling, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, examining how HA might integrate nutrient sensing with growth regulation through plant hormone transport. Results HA rapidly increased cytosolic Ca2+ and ROS, and altered root architecture in Arabidopsis lines Columbia-0 (Col-0) and G548 TOROE (overexpressing TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN). In Col-0, HA exposure increased total, primary, and lateral root lengths, while in TOROE plants, only primary root length changed. HA also doubled the expression of transcripts in Col-0 roots, including those for PM H+-ATPase (AHA2), TOR kinase, ROS-related RBOHC, and auxin transporters LAX3 and PIN3. Only AHA2 and RBOHC were upregulated in TOROE plants. Findings indicate that HA promotes rhizosphere acidification and plasma membrane potential regulation via AHA2 and RBOHC, linked to auxin transporters and calcium signaling. Conclusions The data suggest HA, rich in compounds like quinones and flavonoids, stimulates root development by triggering Ca2+ waves, NADPH oxidase and H+-ATPase activities. These findings advance our understanding of TOR and H+-ATPase roles in root architecture. Graphical abstract

    Isoëtes are iconic but understudied wetland plants, despite having suffered severe losses globally mainly because of alterations in their habitats. We therefore provide the first global ecological assessment of aquatic Isoëtes to identify their environmental requirements and to evaluate if taxonomically related species differ in their ecology. The assessment resulted in an extensive new database on aquatic Isoëtes, ecological niche analyses, and descriptive species accounts. We compiled a global database that includes all known environmental data collected from 1935 to 2023 regarding aquatic Isoëtes. We then evaluated the environmental drivers of 16 species using 2,179 global records. Additionally, we used hypervolume analysis to quantify the ecological niches of the two species with the greatest number of records, finding significant differences and evidence that Isoëtes echinospora occupies a wider ecological niche than Isoëtes lacustris. Fifty‐nine species (30% of the c. 200 Isoëtes species known today) were categorised as aquatic and were mainly reported in the Americas and northern Europe. About 38% of the aquatic species are threatened with extinction or are endemic to a small region, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List in 2023. Many species were determined to be sensitive to certain water physical and chemical factors, generally preferring oligotrophic conditions such as low total phosphorus, moderate total nitrogen, moderate to low pH, and low conductivity. This analysis includes ecological data in the assessment of rare/threatened aquatic plants globally. This new database and the ecological analyses completed defined the ecological requirements of several species and identified knowledge gaps, which can aid management actions and future research. This paper highlights ecological significance and environmental sensitivities of aquatic Isoëtes. The current level of knowledge is inadequate for a large proportion of known taxa. We affirm the extreme need to support global, collaborative initiatives on which to build future conservation strategies.

    Aim In this study, we investigated the impact of an episodic marine intrusion on the water column characteristics of Jurubatiba lagoon, a tropical coastal ecosystem, for 12 months following a sandbar breaching event to elucidate the duration of its effects. Methods Monthly, we sampled the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics along the water column for one year after a sandbar breaching event and seawater inflow. We assessed the temporal (monthly) and spatial (along depth profiles) associations among these variables and the temporal correlation among vertical heterogeneities in these variables and environmental drivers of stratification. Results Marine intrusion resulted in salt wedges formation in the short-term, leading to stratification in dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and chlorophyll-a concentration along the water column for at least four months. However, temperature and solar incidence also emerged as crucial factors associated with vertical heterogeneity in limnological variables, influencing water density and pH throughout the study period. Precipitation and wind speed had only marginal effects on thermal and ectogenic stratifications, probably mediated by water colour, nutrient inputs, water column depth and lagoon’s orientation in the landscape. Conclusions Our data unveiled that, despite their shallowness and wind exposure, coastal lagoons can exhibit considerable vertical heterogeneities in limnological variables due to various climatic and hydrodynamic aspects. Notably, the effects of marine intrusions on salinity and ectogenic column stratification can persist for several months, affecting water quality and, probably, biotic communities and ecosystem functioning. Once human activities and climate change may intensify marine intrusions on coastal lagoons, understanding spatiotemporal dynamics and their drivers is fundamental to anticipating their effects and conserving such vulnerable ecosystems.

    Strigolactones Alkamides and Karrikins in Plants Recent Updates and Future Prospects, 2023
    Humic substances (HS) are complex noncovalent supramolecular associations of small heterogeneous molecules that self-assemble in solution by hydrogen bonds, weak dispersive forces, and metal-bridged intermolecular electrostatic bonds. Numerous studies demonstrate that plants respond to HS, and the essential mechanisms include water and nutrient uptake, nutrient metabolism, enzyme activity, protein metabolism, redox balance, and photosynthesis. Hydrophobicity emerges as a fundamental plant-stimulating property for HS. Lipids comprise one of the biomolecules in the soil organic matter and into humic acids’ (HA) structure. The plant secondary metabolites alkamides are lipophilic compounds with a wide range of biological activities in nature and were found in the unbound. Humic substances-plant interactions are complex and involve signaling molecules, secondary metabolites, and plant hormones. Both HA-derived lipids and endogenous lipid signaling triggered by HA seem promising in plant growth and development regulation.
