To investigate the potential influences of anthropogenic pollutants, we evaluated the responses of the intertidal seagrass Zostera japonica to three heavy metals: copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd). Z. japonica was exposed to various concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Cd (0, 0.5, 5, 50μM) over
Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for plants and as such is vital to many metabolic processes. Nevertheless, when present at elevated concentrations, Cu can exert toxic effects on plants by disrupting protein functions and promoting oxidative stress. Due to their proximity to the urbanised
In this investigation, we assessed the effects of Cu and/or Cd excess on physiological and metabolic processes of the widespread seagrass Zostera marina. Adult were exposed to low Cd and Cu (0.89 and 0.8 μM, respectively) and high Cd and Cu (8.9 and 2.4 μM, respectively) for 6 d at: Control
The thermostability of protoplasmic streaming, the capacity for plasmolysis and reduction of tetrazolium salt, and the thermostability of acid phosphatase and peroxidase were compared in two species of Zostera, Z. marina L. and Z. noltii Hornem. which were growing in Sevastopal Bay on the Black Sea.
