Although the toxic effects of cyanotoxins on animals have been examined extensively, little research has focused on their effects on higher plants and macroalgae, and the potential for bioaccumulation in the food web through plants. Two aquatic plants, Lemna minor and Wolffia arrhiza, and one
The present study investigated the biochemical response of aquatic plant Wolffia arrhiza (Lemnaceae) treated with lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) at a range of concentrations from 1 to 1000 microM. W. arrhiza has been identified as good scavenger of heavy metals from aqueous solution. Pb and Cd
With the omnipresence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in our daily consumer products, their release has raised serious concerns. However, the biochemical mechanisms by which plants counteract the toxicity of nanoparticles are largely unknown. This study investigated the exposure of aquatic Wolffia
We studied the activity of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, catalase, and peroxidase as well as the rate of 14CO2 release after introduction of labeled substrates for glycolysis and citrate acid cycle within 24 h after salt stress (1% NaCl) in
