Submerged macrophytes have been found to be promising in removing cadmium (Cd) from aquatic ecosystems; however, the mechanism of Cd detoxification in these plants is still poorly understood. In the present study, Cd chemical forms and subcellular distributing behaviors in Myriophyllum aquaticum and
Given the toxicity of trace metals, their concentration, speciation and bioavailability serve to induce various plant detoxification processes, which themselves are specific to several parameters like plant species, tissue type and developmental stage. In this study, Myriophyllum alterniflorum (or
The effect of increased ammonia content on sub-acute biochemical responses was assessed in the rooted submersed aquatic macrophyte Myriophyllum mattogrossense (common name: "Brazil Milfoil" or "Matogrosso Milfoil"), in a seven day aquarium experiment. The pH and temperature were monitored in order
We report the evaluation of changes in water quality, increasing pollution level, of a section of Suquía River basin (Córdoba, Argentina) by using Myriophyllum quitense as bioindicator in addition to the measurement of chemical parameters, combined with chemometrics (ANOVA, Cluster and Discriminant
Endosulfan (1) is a chlorinated insecticide still in use in both developed and emerging countries. Although its toxicity on animals has been studied in the last years, scarce information is available on its effects on plants. In this study, we exposed the aquatic macrophyte Myriophyllum quitense to
Azoxystrobin is a strobilurin of growing concern in aquatic environments because it is the most sold fungicide worldwide, however, the information available about its effect on aquatic non-target organisms is scarce. The objective of the present study was to evaluate potential physiological,
The Iraí Reservoir, a water supply in Brazil, is constantly impacted by anthropogenic activities such as waste inputs from agriculture, hospitals and urbanization, resulting toxic cyanobacterial blooms causing economic, social and environmental problems. This study assessed the concentration of some
