- Abstract
Today, the use of plants in the cleaning (phytoremediation) of soils polluted with heavy metals and the detection of plants with accumulator properties are gaining importance day by day. However, due to the tolerance of plants against heavy metal toxicity, their ability to be bioindicators varies depending on the plant species, element type, duration of exposure to stress, and the structure of the tissue or organ exposed to stress. To date, many plants have been used in remediation, but there are few reports on the use of ornamental plants for remediation of polluted soils or as bioindicators. In this study, based on this idea, accumulation of heavy metals of Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn were detected comparatively in 3 varieties (var. alba, var. cyanea, var. coccinea) of the Anemone coronaria species with atomic absorption spectrometry in the months of germination (March) and flowering (April) and in the soil they grow. As a result, it has been established that this species can be planted in Manisa to determine the soil pollution in the spring period, as a bioindicator, and to beautify the environment and it has been revealed that this species is a very important plant in terms of phytoremediation and as the symbol plant of Manisa.
