Are plants generally less sensitive to toxicity than aquatic animals as indicated by some authors (1)? The use of phytotoxicity (higher plant) tests as a part of ecotoxicology is relatively underdeveloped. The objective of this study was to compare the results of the OECD Lemna Growth Inhibition
Nanoparticles of TiO2 and CuO are among most commonly used nanoparticles, and elevated concentrations of them are expected to be found in all environments, including aquatic. A standard growth inhibition test ISO/CD 20079 was used to determine the toxicity of nano sized and larger micro sized (bulk)
OBJECTIVE
An enhanced worldwide application of platinum group elements (PGE), in particular platinum, has been observed during recent decades. An increased concentration of PGE was determined in collected samples of great amount of aqueous ecosystems.The aim was to compare phytotoxic effect of
Ambur, a town located on the banks of Palar River, is considered one of the most polluted areas in India and occupied by hundreds of tanneries and leather product units. The present study was designed to evaluate the toxic effect of discharged tannery effluent (TE) on model agricultural crops,
Upon biological screening of a series of African medicinal plants, substantial phytotoxic activity was found in the leaves of Laggera decurrens (Vahl.) Hepper & Wood (Asteraceae), using a Lemna minor bioassay. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the leaves led to the isolation of two physiologically
A strain of the pathogenic fungus Ascochyta lentis isolated from lentil ( Lens culinaris) was studied to ascertain its capability to produce bioactive metabolites. From the culture filtrates were found three new anthraquinone derivatives, named lentiquinones A (1), B (2), and C (3), and the known
Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. is responsible for serious allergies induced on humans. Different approaches for its control were proposed during the COST Action FA1203 "Sustainable management of Ambrosia artemisiifolia in Europe" (SMARTER). Fungal secondary metabolites often show potential herbicidal
A new tetrasubstituted pyran-2-one and a new dihydrobenzofuran, named colletochlorins E and F (1 and 2, respectively), were isolated from the culture filtrates of the fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum together with the already known colletochlorin A, 4-chloroorcinol, and colletopyrone.
