The present study aimed at investigating effects of zinc and aluminum (0.15 and 0.3mM) in duckweed (Lemna minor L.) over a 15-day period. High bioaccumulation of both metals was accompanied by an increase in dry weight under higher metal treatments. Antioxidant response was observed under both metal
Mercury uptake and its effects on physiology, biochemistry and genomic stability were investigated in Lemna minor after 2 and 6d of exposure to 0-30μM Hg. The accumulation of Hg increased in a concentration- and duration-dependent manner, and was positively correlated with the leaf damage. Oxidative
Effects of cadmium, copper, and zinc on the aquatic plant Lemna gibba were determined under controlled conditions; in parallel their removal from the growth medium was followed. The results showed that the three heavy metals affected growth, a physiological stress index defined as the ratio of
When Lemna minor L. is supplied with the potent inhibitor of glutamine synthetase, methionine sulfoximine, rapid changes in free amino acid levels occur. Glutamine, glutamate, asparagine, aspartate, alanine, and serine levels decline concomitantly with ammonia accumulation. However, not all free
Acetaminophen is globally one of the most prescribed drugs due to its antipyretic and analgesic properties. However, it is highly toxic when the dosage surpasses the detoxification capability of an exposed organism, with involvement of an already described oxidative stress pathway. To address the
In this study, an experiment was carried out to study the process of stress adaptation in Lemna gibba grown under nickel stress (0-20 mg Ni L(-1)). The results showed that Ni concentrations in plants increased with increasing Ni supply levels and reached a maximum of 142.82 mg.kg1 DW at 0.5 mg x
In this study, an experiment was carried out to study the process of stress adaptation in Lemna gibba L. grown under cadmium stress (0-20mg Cd L(-1)). The level of photosynthetic pigments and soluble proteins decreased only upon exposure to high Cd concentrations (for pigments 5mg Cd L(-1); for
In the plants, Lemna gibba, Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrrhiza L., the effect of different concentrations of zinc (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.5mgL(-1) Zn) applied for four day was assessed by measuring changes in the chlorophyll, protein, malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase
Aminooxyacetate, a known inhibitor of transaminase reactions and glycine decarboxylase, promotes rapid depletion of the free pools of serine and aspartate in nitrate grown Lemna minor L. This compound markedly inhibits the methionine sulfoximine-induced accumulation of free ammonium ions and greatly
A study was done on the effects of various factors on carbohydrate inhibition of flowering and on in vitro activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in Lemna perpusilla 6746 grown on dilute Hutner's medium in short days. Autoclaving decreased the flower inhibitory effect of sucrose but increased
The effects of 20 amino acids and two amides were studied on the flowering of a photoperiodically insensitive duckweed, Lemna paucicostata LP6. Alanine, asparagine, aspartate, cystine, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, lysine, methionine, proline, serine, and threonine induced flowering under a
Cadmium (Cd) is a significant environmental pollutant in the aquatic environment. Salicylic acid (SA) is a ubiquitous phenolic compound. The goal of this study was to assess the morphological, physiological and biochemical changes in duckweed (L. minor) upon exposure to 10μM CdCl2, 10μM CdCl2 plus
Site-specific risk assessment of contaminated areas indicates prior areas for intervention, and provides helpful information for risk managers. This study was conducted in the Ervedosa mine area (Bragança, Portugal), where both underground and open pit exploration of tin and arsenic minerals were
In this study, the effects of excess nickel (Ni) (100 μM and 200 μM) on growth, antioxidant production, fatty acid, organic and amino acids profiles were examined in Lemna minor L. After 7 days of Ni treatment, chlorosis, growth inhibition and ROS overproduction were observed, accompanied by Ni
