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
Ammonium is a paradoxical chemical because it is a nutrient but also damages ecosystems at high concentration. As the most eco-friendly method of water restoration, phytoremediation technology still faces great challenges. To provide more theoretical support, we exploited six common submerged
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
Ammonia has been a major reason of macrophyte decline in the water environment, and ammonium ion toxicity should be seen as universal, even in species frequently labeled as "NH4+ specialists". To study the effects of high NH4+-N stress of ammonium ion nitrogen on tolerant submerged macrophytes and
Heavy metal contamination, particularly vanadium contamination in mining and smelting areas, is a worldwide serious problem threatening the ecological system and human health. The contamination level of vanadium, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, and lead in sediments and waters in a vanadium
In this study, the tips of Myriophyllum aquaticum (M. aquaticum) plants were planted in open-top plastic bins and treated by simulated wastewater with various ammonium-N concentrations for three weeks. The contents of related carbohydrates and key enzyme activities of carbon metabolism were
Constructed wetlands (CWs) cultivated with Myriophyllum aquaticum showed great potential for total nitrogen (TN) removal from aquatic ecosystems in previous studies. To evaluate the growth characteristics, photosynthetic pigment content, and antioxidative responses of M. aquaticum, as well as its TN
Three submerged macrophytes, Ceratophyllum demersum (CD), Myriophyllum spicatum (MS) and Myriophyllum aquaticum (MA), were treated with various concentrations of ammonia for different lengths of time. Ammonium ions (NH4+) in the medium severely inhibited plant growth and led to
In view of their potential bioaccumulation of heavy metals, Ceratophyllum demersum and Myriophyllum spicatum was studied under hydroponic cultures enriched by different Pb concentrations (25, 50, 75 mg/l) for 1-7 days. Both species exerted remarkable capabilities to concentrate Pb in their tissues
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
