Abstract: Aquatic environments contaminated by lead (Pb) are a problem in many regions of world. Since Pb has high toxicity, the identification of species for phytoremediation is important for the recovery of these areas. Thus, the phytoremediation potential of Panicum aquaticum Poir. (Poaceae) was evaluated. The anatomical and physiological responses of P. aquaticum were assessed under different concentrations of Pb [0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 mM of Pb(NO3)2]. Plant growth, anatomy of roots and leaves, root uptake, root to shoot translocation, and the concentration and accumulation of Pb in organs were analyzed. Regarding leaf anatomy, Pb treatment led to changes in epidermis thickness, stomatal density, stomatal diameter, and sclerenchymal area. Endoderm thickness was increased at the highest concentrations of Pb, which may be related to reduced translocation and shoot accumulation. The roots of P. aquaticum presented increased absorption (2279 μg g−1 DW−1 of Pb). In conclusion, P. aquaticum was found to have potential for the phytoremediation of areas contaminated with Pb.
