Article Abstract
Wetland plants play a major role in the process of wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands (CWs). The inhibitory effect of salt stress on plants may reduce the performance of CWs. In this study, salicylic acid (SA) and/or calcium ion (Ca) were used for root pretreatment to alleviate the salt stress in Iris pseudacorus L. The results showed that root pretreatment with SA and/or Ca improved the response of Iris pseudacorus L. to salinity by increasing growth, photosynthetic pigments, Pro content, enzymes activities and K content. In addition, SA and/or Ca application in saline conditions decreased the relative conductivity and content of malondialdehyde. RNA-seq analysis showed the expression of hormone signaling genes, potassium ion transporter genes, oxidative stress genes and photosynthesis genes were up-regulated after pretreating with SA and CaCl. In conclusion, the addition of SA and Ca could improve the saline wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs by enhancing the salt tolerance of Iris pseudacorus L.

Iris pseudacorus, a species native to Irish wetlands, was investigated for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory potential as part of a broader study on bogland medicinal plants. Methanol extracts from leaves and rhizomes were chemically profiled using NMR, LC-MS, and HPTLC, leading to the identification of three bioactive compounds: syringic acid, luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucoside, and liquiritigenin. HPTLC bioautography revealed that these compounds exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, with MIC values ranging from 128 to 256 μg/mL.

Antibiotics and heavy metals (HMs) from aquiculture enter waters and eventually sink into sediments. However, sediments carrying excessive contaminants can become a source of contamination. Macrophytes are frequently employed to treat water contaminated with HMs due to their adaptability, rapid growth rate, and ability to extract contaminants.

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been proved to be effective in treating sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) wastewater. Nevertheless, as an essential element in CWs, the significance of plants, continues to be a topic of controversy. In this study, CWs with two different plant species were taken as the research object to investigate their treatment performance, in order to understand the impact of plants on the treatment of SAs wastewater in CWs and to discover the underlying action mechanisms.

Engineered phytoremediation strategies provide cost effective options for eliminating antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from wastewater. However, there is a knowledge gap in understanding the impact of these phytoremediation strategies on the on the diversity and composition of ARGs as well as the key driving biotic and biological factors of ARGs at the metagenomic level in real scenarios. Through metagenomic sequencing, this study demonstrates that phytoremediation with Iris pseudacorus L.

Many studies have investigated the toxic effects of microplastics (MPs) ingested by aquatic animals, but the effects of MPs that adhere to the roots of macrophytes require further exploration. Thus, the present study investigated the dose-dependent toxic effects of adding 10-500 mg/kg of polycaprolactam microplastics (PCM) on allelopathic cyanobacterial inhibition by a wetland macrophyte due to the influence on rhizosphere bacteria in a pot trial. First, comparisons of sterilized and unsterilized Iris pseudacorus rhizosphere soil showed that the unsterilized soil could enhance the root activity and allelopathic inhibition of Microcystis aeruginosa cyanobacteria.
