ceratophyllum demersum/해독

Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum L.) plants when exposed to various concentrations of Pb (1-100microM) for 1-7days, exhibited both phytotoxic and tolerance responses. The specific responses were function of concentration and duration. Plants accumulated 1748mugPbg(-1) dw after 7d which reflected its

Ceratophyllum demersum L. is known to be a potential accumulator of arsenic (As), but mechanisms of As detoxification have not been investigated so far. In the present study, we analyzed the biochemical responses of Ceratophyllum plants to arsenate (As(V); 0-250 microM) exposure to explore the

In the present study, the level of thiols and activity of related enzymes were investigated in coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum L.) plants to analyze their role in combating the stress caused upon exposure to cadmium (Cd; 0-10 microM) for a duration up to 7d. Plants showed the maximum accumulation

The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is highly toxic to plants. To understand the mechanisms of tolerance and resistance to Cd, we treated the rootless, submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum L. with sub-micromolar concentrations of Cd under environmentally relevant conditions. X-ray fluorescence

Phytochelatin synthase (PCS) gene encoding key enzyme for heavy metal detoxification and accumulation has been characterised from different sources and used to develop a technology for bioremediation. Past efforts provided limited success and contradictory results. Therefore, functional

This paper analyzes the detoxification mechanisms adopted by amino- and organic acids to alleviate Cd toxicity. In addition, with our published data on Zn-Cd interactions, the influence of Zn (200 microM) supplements on the detoxification mechanisms of amino- and organic acids have also been

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with high-resolution sector field ICP-MS was applied to the speciation of arsenic in environmental samples collected from the Moira watershed, Ontario, Canada. Arsenic contamination in Moira River and Moira Lake from historic gold mine operations

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

Recent studies have identified rice (Oryza sativa) as a major dietary source of inorganic arsenic (As) and poses a significant human health risk. The predominant model for plant detoxification of heavy metals is complexation of heavy metals with phytochelatins (PCs), synthesized non-translationally

Phytochelatin synthase (PCS), the key enzyme involved in heavy metal detoxification and accumulation has been used from various sources to develop transgenic plants for the purpose of phytoremediation. However, some of the earlier studies provided contradictory results. Most of the PCS genes were

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
