Overview

Observational analysis revealed increased phenolic and flavonoid content in Mentha aquatica, suggesting enhanced antioxidant defenses against heavy metals in polluted water.

Key Points

Increased phenolic content in leaves was observed over the experiment, while root levels declined significantly due to heavy metal exposure.
Key evidence showed a 164.9% increase in leaf phenolic content from 30.15 to 79.86 mg GAE/g DW during the study.
Assessment using various biochemical assays demonstrated significant adaptive responses of Mentha aquatica to heavy metal stress.
Findings highlight the potential of M. aquatica for phytoremediation in contaminated water environments, necessitating further research.
