Effects of cyanobacteria producing microcystins on seed germination and seedling growth of several agricultural plants

The effects of cyanobacteria aqueous extracts containing Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) on the seed germination and growth of Pisum sativum, Lens esculenta, Zea mays and Triticum durum were investigated. Experiments were carried out on a range of doses of the extract (equivalent to 0, 1.6, 2.9, 5.8, 8.7 and 11.6 μ g MC-LR/mL). The results confirm that these plants were sensitive to cell-free extracts of a toxic Microcystis and that germination inhibition was dose dependent. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that P. sativum is the most sensitive tested species with a 97% germination rate reduction and L. esculenta was the most resistant. At the 8th day, the exposure to the microcystins (MC) resulted in a significant decrease of plant epicotyls length, roots length and a net inhibition of lateral root formation. It is concluded that MC could affect also terrestrial plants seedling germination and growth. Therefore, the use of water for irrigation contaminated by MC could exert negative biochemical effects on seed and plant metabolism which might influence the agricultural crops.

Effects of wastewater from olive processing on seed germination and early plant growth of different vegetable species

Abstract

The effects of wastewater from olive processing on seed germination and early plant growth of different vegetable species were examined. Three types of wastewater at different concentrations were tested: raw wastewater, wastewater with organic matter removed and deionized wastewater.

Results generally indicate an inhibitory effect on seed germination and early plant growth by all treatments containing any kind of wastewater. Of the three types of effluent, raw wastewater had the greatest depressive effect, followed by deionized wastewater and finally effluent with organic matter removed. Barley showed the least sensitivity to phytotoxic effects while tomato was the plant most affected. The remaining vegetable species showed an intermediate sensitivity.     

Combined effects of lanthanum ion and acid rain on growth, photosynthesis and chloroplast ultrastructure in soybean seedlings

Rare earth elements (REEs) have been accumulated in the agricultural environment. Acid rain is a serious environmental issue. In the present work, the effects of lanthanum ion (La³⁺) and acid rain on the growth, photosynthesis and chloroplast ultrastructure in soybean seedlings were investigated using the gas exchange measurements system, chlorophyll fluorometer, transmission electron microscopy and some biochemical techniques. It was found that although the growth and photosynthesis of soybean seedlings treated with the low concentration of La³⁺ was improved, the growth and photosynthesis of soybean seedlings were obviously inhibited in the combined treatment with the low concentration of La³⁺ and acid rain. At the same time, the chloroplast ultrastructure in the cell of soybean seedlings was destroyed. Under the combined treatment with the high concentration of La³⁺ and acid rain, the chloroplast ultrastructure in the cell of soybean seedlings was seriously destroyed, and the growth and of photosynthesis were greatly decreased compared with those of the control, the single treatment with the high concentration of La³⁺ and the single treatment with acid rain, respectively. The degree of decrease and destruction on chloroplast ultrastructure depended on the increases in the concentration of La³⁺ and acid rain (H⁺). In conclusion, the combined pollution of La³⁺ and acid rain obviously destroyed the chloroplast ultrastructure of cell and aggravated the harmful effect of the single La³⁺ and acid rain on soybean seedlings. As a new combined pollutant, the harmful effect of REEs ions and acid rain on plant should be paid attention to.     

Spatial variability of arsenic concentration in soils and plants, and its relationship with iron, manganese and phosphorus

Spatial distribution of arsenic (As) concentrations of irrigation water, soil and plant (rice) in a shallow tube-well (STW) command area (8 ha), and their relationship with Fe, Mn and P were studied. Arsenic concentrations of water in the 110 m long irrigation channel clearly decreased with distance from the STW point, the range being 68-136 μg L⁻¹. Such decreasing trend was also noticed with Fe and P concentrations, but the trend for Mn concentrations was not remarkable. Concerning soil As, the concentration showed a decreasing tendency with distance from the pump. The NH₄-oxalate extractable As contributed 36% of total As and this amount of As was associated with poorly crystalline Fe-oxides. Furthermore only 22% of total As was phosphate extractable so that most of the As was tightly retained by soil constituents and was not readily exchangeable by phosphate. Soil As (both total and extractable As) was significantly and positively correlated with rice grain As (0.296 ± 0.063 μg g⁻¹, n = 56). Next to drinking water, rice could be a potential source of As exposure of the people living in the As affected areas of Bangladesh.     

不同培养模式对钝顶螺旋藻生长和固碳速率的影响

为提高钝顶螺旋藻的生长速率和CO2固定效率,从钝顶螺旋藻的培养方式,无机碳和有机碳的添加方式两方面进行优化。对比光自养、混养、异养3种培养方式的结果表明,混养培养能获得最高的生物量和固碳速率,分别为1.612 g/L和105.431 mg/(L·h)。考察自养-异养的混合培养下3种碳源添加方式的影响,对比2种无机碳源结果得到自养培养每8 h通入5%浓度的CO2,螺旋藻最高固碳速率和生物量分别达到265.455 mg/(L·h)和2.007 g/L,远大于添加16 g/L NaHCO3的生物量(1.648 g/L);且自养培养阶段添加1 g/L葡萄糖组较不添加组,生物量和固碳速率分别减小了0.370 g/L和17.902 mg/(L·h);无机碳源的存在对异养培养阶段的影响结果表明,暗培养过程鼓入5%浓度CO2,培养液的pH下降较快,影响生物量和固碳速率。因此,在自养-异养混合培养螺旋藻时,光暗培养阶段的两种碳源添加量要适当,保证螺旋藻生长和固碳最优。     

Effect of imazaquin applications on the growth,leaf chlorophyll and yield of soybean in the Guinea Savanna of Nigeria

Abstract

Field trials were conducted during the wet seasons of 1989, 1991, 1994 and 1995 to evaluate the effects of pre‐emergence and post‐emergence applications of four rates of imazaquin (0.00; 0.15; 0.30 and 0.45kg a.i/ha) on the growth, leaf chlorophyll types and grain yield of soybean c.v. SAMSOY 2. Imazaquin applications had no significant effect on the growth of soybean roots on most of the sampling dates, but pre‐and post‐emergence applications of imazaquin at 0.30 and 0.45kg a.i/ha reduced soybean root nodules at 5 and 7 weeks after planting (WAP). Soybean shoot growth was generally reduced at 5WAP by the pre‐emergence and at 7WAP by the higher rates (0.30 & 0.45kg a.i/ha) of post‐emergence application of imazaquin. Pre‐and post‐emergence applications of imazaquin showed a strong tendency to reduce the concentration of chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll at at 3 and 5WAP respectively. The concentrations of chlorophyll types in soybean leaves at 9WAP was generally comparable among most treatments especially in 1991. Whole plant fresh weight of soybean at 7WAP was reduced by all rates of post‐emergence application of imazaquin. However, there was no significant difference in the whole plant dry weight of soybean at 3 to 7 WAP in 1989 and at 3, 5 and 9WAP in 1991. In each trial, pre‐and post‐emergence applications of soybean significantly increased the grain yield of soybean compared with the control treatment. This study showed that, inhibition of soybean shoot growth and leaf chlorophyll concentration was transient and that soybean plants require about 6 weeks for complete recovery from imazaquin phytotoxicity.

Abstract

Growth, biomass allocation and competition between blue grama plants were examined with and without application of carbofuran, a pesticide which has been used to study insect and nematode effects on primary production. Carbofuran had no apparent effect on total plant growth, biomass allocation, or competition between neighboring plants.     

Effects of exogenous organic chelators on phytochelatins production and its relationship with cadmium toxicity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under cadmium stress

Phytochelatins (PCs) have been proposed as a potential biomarker for metal toxicity. In this study, cadmium (Cd) toxicity, PCs production and their relationship in wheat under Cd stress were examined using various exogenous organic chelator-buffered nutrient solutions. Single Cd stress produced strong toxic effects, as indicated by decreases of growth parameters, high level of lipid peroxidation in leaf and overproduction of PCs in root. Exogenous organic chelators with proper dose more or less reduced Cd toxicity by increasing growth parameters and decreasing lipid peroxidation in leaves. Of organic chelators (EDTA, DTPA, citric acid, malic acid and oxalic acid), EDTA was the most effective in decreasing Cd toxicity in plants, followed by DTPA and citric acid. Simultaneously, the concentrations of Cd-induced PCs in roots decreased, and the greatest decrease was caused by application of EDTA and DTPA. Linearly positive relationships were observed between Cd toxicity and root PCs concentrations under the influences of organic chelators, particularly EDTA, DTPA and citric acid. Furthermore, present results provide stronger evidence that PCs synthesis in plant cells was related to free Cd ion concentrations, not total Cd, and demonstrate that the levels of PCs production in plants correlated well with toxic effects caused by the bioavailable Cd levels.     

微孔分子筛的合成及其去除水中氨氮的实验研究

以廉价的天然矿物岩石作为主要原料,采用水热晶化法合成了微孔分子筛。分子筛有效孔径约为0.9 nm,BET比表面积583m2/g,阳离子交换容量(CEC)316 meq/100 g。将其用于水体中氨氮的去除,实验结果表明,分子筛对氨氮的吸附速率较快,吸附时间为20 min时,吸附基本达饱和;分子筛对氨氮的最大吸附量可达11.6 mg/g,其吸附规律很好地符合Fruendlich吸附等温式;在有干扰离子如Ca2+、Mg2+、Al3+和Fe3+等存在的情况下,仍能优先选择吸附NH4+,且吸附率几乎没有变化。动态吸附柱实验的效果好于静态实验,出水12 h内去除率均>85％;饱和了氨氮的分子筛,用氢氧化钠溶液洗脱再生,解吸率达92％,再生后的分子筛与原分子筛相比吸附率几乎没有降低。     

Effects of copper on spore germination, growth and ultrastructure of Polypodium cambricum L. gametophytes

The effects of different concentrations (10(-5), 5x10(-5) and 10(-4)M) of copper bromide on spore germination, growth and ultrastructure were investigated in Polypodium cambricum L. gametophytes. The inhibitory effect of Cu was observed in spores cultured on medium supplemented with 10(-4)M CuBr(2): germination occurred about 40 days after sowing and was only 25%. Concentrations of 5x10(-5) and 10(-4)M CuBr(2) induced changes in gametophyte development, possibly by re-orientation of growth. Gametophytes treated with 10(-5) and 5x10(-5)M CuBr(2) took up and accumulated a large amount of copper and ultrastructural observations showed that cytoplasmic damage was limited to twisted swollen thylakoids. The ultrastructure of gametophytes treated with 10(-4)M CuBr(2) showed absence of a vacuolar compartment. The present observations suggest that P. cambricum gametophytes could be a suitable material for studying physiological and molecular alterations induced by excess copper.

Effects of carbaryl,chlorpyrifos and endosulfan on growth,reproduction and respiration of tropical epigeic earthworm,Perionyx excavatus (Perrier)

Effects of sub-lethal doses of carbaryl (1-Naphthyl-methylcarbamate), chlorpyrifos (O,O-diethyl O-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl-phosphorothioate) and endosulfan (6,7,8,9,10,10-Hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepin-3-oxide), respectively a carbamate, an organophosphate and an organochlorine insecticide on growth, reproduction and respiration of the tropical earthworm, Perionyx excavatus (Perrier) were investigated under laboratory conditions. The results showed significant reduction in biomass, production and hatching of cocoon and production of juveniles of the worms exposed to 0.75 to 3.03 mg/kg soil of carbaryl, 0.91 to 3.65 mg/kg soil of chlorpyrifos and 3.75 to 15.0 μg/kg soil of endosulfan corresponding to 12.5 to 50 % of LC₅₀ value of the respective insecticide for P. excavatus. Endosulfan was found most dangerous among the three insecticides followed by carbaryl and chlorpyrifos. There was no hatching of the worms at endosulfan treatment 5.0 μg/kg soil (25 % LC₅₀) or above while the highest dose of carbaryl and chlorpyrifos (50 % of LC₅₀) rendered respectively 87.13 and 24.84 % reductions in hatching as compared to control. Chlorpyrifos produced no change in respiration of the worms except at the highest dose, while the worms showed an increase in evolution of CO₂ at all doses of carbaryl and endosulfan. Based on the recommended agricultural dose of each insecticide, it was concluded that application of endosulfan and carbaryl was potentially dangerous to earthworms.     

Effects of suspended common-scale and nanoscale particles on the survival,growth and reproduction of Daphnia magna

Suspended particles are a natural component of aquatic ecosystems. This study provides a report on the survival, growth and reproduction of common-scale and nanoscale particles of Daphnia magna Straus exposed to five types of particles (i.e. KN (kaolinite), MN (montmorillonite), MNn (nanoscale MN), NP (natural particles), and NPn (nanoscale NP)). The results of the study show that the suspended particles elicited a dose-dependent toxicity in KN, MN and MNn, with the following toxicity pattern: MN > KN > MNn. On the contrary, NP and NPn did not show any harmful effects on the animals. Instead, NP and NPn, especially NPn, contributed to the survivorship of the animals. The animals were able to survive throughout the 21-day period of bioassays, and when the particle concentration reached 600 mg L⁻¹, they produced many neonates without any addition of food. This experimental results also indicated that the nanoscale particles were less toxic than the common-scale ones, both for MN and NP. Moreover, the results of the 21-day period of bioassays indicated that when the organisms were exposed to particles of different size scales, they showed different selection patterns for allocating resources. This may be due to the generation of different assimilation and digestion patterns.     

赤泥添加对石灰性土壤中Pb、Cd形态分布及小麦根系的影响

通过田间种植小麦实验,研究添加不同剂量拜耳赤泥（0%、1%、2%、3%、4%和5%）对重金属污染的石灰性土壤Pb、Cd化学形态和小麦幼苗根系的影响。培养1个月,添加赤泥显著地提高了土壤pH值,提高幅度随赤泥投加量增加而增大。培养3个月,添加不同剂量的赤泥均明显降低土壤中可交换态Pb和Cd的含量,赤泥投加量为5%时效果最为显著,分别比对照下降90%和72%。添加赤泥对所种植小麦幼苗的根系也有影响。种植5个月,小麦根系总根长、总表面积和总体积等随添加赤泥的剂量增加呈现先增大后减小的趋势,赤泥投加量为3%时增幅最大,总根长、总表面积和总体积分别比对照增加88.23%、75%和90.32%。研究表明,赤泥可作为重金属污染的石灰性土壤的理想改良剂,但考虑到小剂量赤泥（即1%~3%）促进重金属污染农田中小麦根系的生长,建议在种植区采用小剂量赤泥（即3%）处理的重金属污染修复方案。     

Effects of irrigation with raw and differentially diluted sewage and application of primary settled sewage-sludge on wheat plant growth, crop yield, enxymatic changes and trace element uptake

An increase in the concentration of Cu, Zn, Cr and Mn, and a decrease in the activities of aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase and peroxidase were observed in the different fractions of wheat plants, following raw and differentially diluted (66% and 50%) sewage irrigation and dry primary settled sewage-sludge amendments of soils. The grain enrichment efficiencies for Cu, Zn and Mn were significantly low under all experimental conditions. On the other hand, the grain enrichment efficiency for Cr was low under all sewage irrigation conditions only. Except in the earheads of wheat plants from sludge-amended soil, catalase activities were significantly low in roots, stems and earheads of wheat plants, under all other treatment conditions investigated. The decrease in the proteinase activity was statistically significant in roots and earheads of sewage-irrigated plants; the activity in the stem was low following irrigation with raw and 66% sewage only. Proteinase activity was also significantly low in all fractions of wheat plants harvested from soil amended with 20 tonnes of sludge per hectare. The observed results appear to be due to an overall decrease in the metabolic status of the plants following sewage irrigation and sludge amendment of soils. Grain yields, however, were not reduced despite this metabolic effect.     

底泥煤渣帽封与药剂投加联用原位稳定化技术对上覆水体及底泥pH-Eh-COD的影响

将底泥有机物原地稳定化处理技术中药剂投加法和帽封法结合,研究以煤渣为帽封材料,苏州河底泥中分别投加零价铁（Fe⁰）及硝酸钙的实验里各体系上覆水体及底泥的pH、氧化还原电位（Eh）、有机含量在60 d的变化情况。结果表明,煤渣帽封下,底泥中投加Fe⁰或硝酸钙后上覆水体pH均在8左右,Eh呈下降趋势,投加Fe⁰后对上覆水体COD的影响较硝酸钙小,但均不会对上覆水体水质产生持久、较大的影响。从底泥有机质的去除率上来看,Fe⁰-煤渣帽封体系在反应周期里有机质的去除率约55%,而硝酸钙-煤渣帽封体系底泥有机质的去除率在27%左右。以Fe⁰-煤渣帽封材料复合体系运用在底泥原地稳定化帽封技术中降解有机物更为合适。     

Responses of herbaceous plants to urban air pollution: Effects on growth, phenology and leaf surface characteristics

Vehicle exhaust emissions are a dominant feature of urban environments and are widely believed to have detrimental effects on plants. The effects of diesel exhaust emissions on 12 herbaceous species were studied with respect to growth, flower development, leaf senescence and leaf surface wax characteristics. A diesel generator was used to produce concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) representative of urban conditions, in solardome chambers. Annual mean NO_x concentrations ranged from 77 nl l^−l to 98 nl l⁻¹, with NO:NO₂ ratios of 1.4-2.2, providing a good experimental simulation of polluted roadside environments. Pollutant exposure resulted in species-specific changes in growth and phenology, with a consistent trend for accelerated senescence and delayed flowering. Leaf surface characteristics were also affected; contact angle measurements indicated changes in surface wax structure following pollutant exposure. The study demonstrated clearly the potential for realistic levels of vehicle exhaust pollution to have direct adverse effects on urban vegetation.
