To investigate ammonium toxicity, the submerged plant Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle was treated with 0.1-3.0mM ammonium for 12h and 4d. After exposure to ammonium for 4d, content of O2(-) and H2O2 increased in leaves of H. verticillata exposed to 3mM ammonium compared with control (0mM NH4Cl),
In the present study, Hydrilla verticillata plants were exposed to arsenate (AsV; 50 microM) and arsenite (AsIII; 5 microM) under variable S supply: deficient (2 microM S, -S), normal (1 mM S, +S) and excess (2 mM S, +HS). Arsenic accumulation (microg g(-1) dw) in +HS plants was about 2-fold higher
Serious contamination of aquatic systems by arsenic (As) in different parts of the world calls for the development of an in situ cost-effective phytoremediation technology. In the present investigation, plants of Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle were exposed to various concentrations of arsenate
Microcystins (MCs) produced by cyanobacteria in natural environments are a potential risk to the integrity of ecosystems. In this study, the effects of cyanobacterial cell-free crude extracts from a Microcystis aeruginosa bloom containing three MC-congeners MC-LR, -RR, and -YR at environmental
In this paper, Hydrilla verticillata was cultured in the hoagland solution containing 5 mg L(-1) Cd2+ and different concentration ascorbic acid (AsA) to investigate the protective action of AsA to aquatic plant suffered from heavy metal's stress. The O2 generation rate, H2O2 content, antioxidants
In this paper, submersed plant Hydrilla verticillata was cultivated in a 1/10 Hoagland culture medium added with different concentration NH4 + -N (0, 0. 5, 2. 0, 4. 0 mg x L(-1)) and 10 mg x L(-1) cadmium to study the effects of NH4 + -N on H. verticillata growth and its antioxidant enzyme system
Fluoride can either inhibit or enhance the growth of aquatic macrophytes, depending upon fluoride concentration and exposure time. To investigate fluoride toxicity, the submerged plant Hydrilla verticillata was treated with various concentrations of fluoride (F) (0, 10, 20 and 40 mg/L) for different
The effect of iron (FeCl3) on chlorophyll content, lipid peroxidation product, potassium ion leakage (a measure of damage to the permeability barrier), and antioxidants was studied in Hydrilla verticillata. The effect of iron-induced damage to the plant was compared with those of N-ethyl maleimide
To investigate the effects of zinc (Zn) on aquatic macrophyte, the submerged plant Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle was cultured in control solution or together with 0.05-30 mg L(-1) Zn(2+) for 7 d. The alterations in nutrient uptake and antioxidative response were assayed. Zn stress increased the
Copper, though essential, is potentially toxic heavy metal at supraoptimal level and has widespread contamination. The present investigation was carried out to study the responses induced by lower as well as higher doses of copper (0.1-25 microM) in an aquatic macrophyte, Hydrilla verticillata
In this study, the effects of excess NH4+-N on the subcellular accumulation of O2- and H2O2 in submerged plant Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle were investigated using both histochemical and cytochemical methods. Treatments with ≥
The likely protective effects of nitric oxide (NO) against ammonium toxicity were investigated in the submerged macrophyte Hydrilla verticillata. The plants were subjected to ammonium stress (3mM ammonium chloride) in the presence of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10 μM), an NO donor. Treatment with SNP
The present study was aimed to analyze the effects of external Zn supply on arsenic (As) toxicity in Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle. The plants were exposed to arsenite (AsIII; 10 μM) with or without 50 and 100 μM Zn. The level of As accumulation (μg g-1 dw) after 2 and 4 days was not
Little information is available about the toxicity of toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene acting on macrophytes, and their toxicity data are rarely used in regulation and criteria decisions. The results extended the knowledge on toxic effects of toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene on aquatic plants. The
The phytotoxicity and accumulation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on aquatic plant Hydrilla verticillata and Phragmites australis were investigated using mesocosms. The percentage of dissolved Zn in the ZnO NP treatment solutions was measured along with plant shoot growth, antioxidant enzyme
