Investigation of Boron Accumulation Performance of Teucrium polium Grown in Serpentine Soils

Öz

Guleman region is one of the most important chrome ore producing regions of Turkey, and serpentine rocks outcrop in a wide area. This study examined boron accumulation in the roots and shoots of the Teucrium polium plant growing on Guleman serpentine soil. The soil of 17 Teucrium polium plants growing on serpentine soils in the study area were collected together with their roots and shoots and chemical analyses were carried out separately for boron. Chemical analyses were carried out in ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry). On average, boron values were determined as 7.94 ppm in the soil, 14.8 ppm in the root and 70.06 ppm in the shoot. Boron enrichment values (ECR, ECS and TLF) in the soil, roots and shoots of this plant were quite high. These values showed that the Teucrium polium plant accumulated significant amounts of boron from the soil to both roots and shoots. As a result, it has been shown that this plant can be considered as a bioaccumulator plant, especially in the reclamation of boron-polluted soils and the improvement of such areas.

Serpantinli Topraklarda Yetişen Teucrium Polium’ un Bor Akümülasyon Performansının İncelenmesi

Öz

Guleman bölgesi, Türkiye' nin en önemli krom cevheri üreten bölgelerinden biri olup, geniş alanda serpantinli kayaçlar yüzeylemeler vermektedir. Bu çalışma Guleman serpantinli toprakları üzerinde yetişen Teucrium polium bitkisinin kök ve dalındaki bor akümülasyonlarını incelemiştir. Çalışma alanında serpantinli topraklar üzerinde yetişen 17 adet Teucrium polium bitkisi toprağı, kök ve dalı ile birlikte toplanarak, bor için ayrı ayrı kimyasal analizleri yapılmıştır. Kimyasal analizler ICP-MS (İndüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma-Kütle Spektrometresi)’de gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ortalama olarak toprakta 7,94 ppm, kökte 14,8 ppm ve dalda ise 70,06 ppm bor değerleri saptanmıştır. Bu bitkinin toprak, kök ve dallarındaki bor zenginleşme değerleri (ECR, ECS ve TLF) oldukça yüksek çıkmıştır. Bu değerler de Teucrium polium bitkisinin topraktan hem köke, hem de dala önemli oranda bor akümülasyonu gerçekleştirdiğini göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak bu bitki, özellikle bor ile kirlenmiş toprakların ıslah çalışmasında ve böyle alanların iyileştirilmesinde biyoakümülatör bitki olarak değerlendirilebileceğini göstermiştir.
