The impact of fluorine on plants remains poorly understood. We examined duckweed growth in extracts soil contaminated with leached from chicken manure. Additionally, levels were analyzed fresh manure, outdoor-stored and samples at varying distances the manure pile. Fresh contained 37–48 mg F− × kg−1, while 2.1 to 4.9 kg−1. evaluated physiological effects cultured or 50% Murashige–Skoog (MS) medium supplemented concentrations matching those (2.1 L−1), as well 0, 4, 210 L−1. Duckweed exposed...

The impact of tetracycline on the soil and rhizosphere microbiome lettuce was analyzed. Soil collected from an agricultural field regularly fertilized with manure, added at two concentrations (5 mg/kg 25 mg/kg). In untreated soil, dominant bacteria included Proteobacteria (43.17%), Bacteroidota (17.91%), Firmicutes (3.06%). Tetracycline addition caused significant shifts in composition, notably increasing Actinobacteriota (22%) favoring Mycobacterium tuberculosis (low concentration)...

Antibiotics as environmental pollutants can affect both the morphology and physiology of higher plants. The first visible symptoms damage caused by antibiotics are chlorotic changes resulting from degradation chlorophyll impairment biosynthesis pathway, followed to PS II disturbances in electron flow between photosystems. Research on effects antibiotics, plants has recently intensified, however, our understanding this problem is still far complete. This paper provides a review current data...

Abstract Maturing yellow lupin seeds were desiccation tolerant. Glucose, sucrose and cyclitols (mainly D-pinitol, D- chiro -inositol myo -inositol) predominant at the early stages of seed growth. Accumulation raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) galactosyl including galactinol, digalactosyl -inositol, galactopinitol A, B, trigalactopinitol ciceritol, fagopyritol B1 B2 appeared during maturation; their increase correlated with germinability after desiccation. The loss tolerance...

Degradation of chlorophyll was studied in leaves spinach grown soil containing cadmium and tetracycline, based on spectroscopic measurements biochemical analyses plant extracts. It shown that exposure to the highest levels tetracycline resulted 64% 68%, respectively, reduction content. The degradation rate constants were determined, they found increase with increasing doses cadmium. constant by ranged from k = 960 M−1 day−1 2180 day−1, 1130 2580 depending dose. Plant stress responses are...

Antibiotics are a new type of contaminants found in the environment. They increasingly used farm animal production systems and may accumulate crops, limiting plant growth rate nutritive value. The aim this study was to determine effects tetracycline (TC) on physiological biochemical properties pea seedlings. presence TC soil during 24 hours did not result any distinct changes However, after five days (120 h) action, seedling appearance metabolic activities were significantly affected. Leaves...

The effect of traces sulfamethazine (SMZ) in soil (0.01, 0.1, 0.25, 1, 5, 15, and 20 mM) on cellular distribution cytochrome c oxidase activity, shoot root growth, leachate electroconductivity was analyzed germinating seeds yellow lupin, pea, lentil, soybean, adzuki bean, alfalfa. Results showed that a high activity mitochondria correlated with seed vigor viability. appearance necroses decay associated decrease the mitochondrial but accompanied by an increase cytosolic activity. A short...

The microbial assay for risk assessment (MARA) is a multispecies, growth inhibition microplate toxicity test with 11 microorganisms individually lyophilized in wells. species representing wide diversity, generated toxic concentration (MTC) values were obtained giving unique "toxic fingerprint" profile of the sample. 14 antibiotics was evaluated MARA test. fingerprints each group differ, indicating particular profile. Tetracyclines most antibacterials minimum MTC value 3.6 μg L(-1). In...

Abstract Salinity has adverse effects on plants and is one of the causes environment degradation. Plants have developed many defensive mechanisms, protecting them from sodium chloride (NaCl), including accumulation osmoprotective compounds, which maintain osmotic balance, protect cell structure enzymes. In current study, we investigated salinity resulting a range concentrations (from 0 to 400 mM) growth common duckweed (Lemna minor L.) yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus L.). Increasing...

Eight to nineteen ethanol-soluble carbohydrate components were identified in vegetative tissues of <em>Colobanthus quitensis</em> and <em>Deschampsia antarctica</em>. The analysed carbohydrates included: monosaccharides, cyclitols, galactosyl raffinose family oligosaccharides, lichnose kestose oligosaccharides. accumulated from 447 139 mg/g d.m. soluble quitensis</em>, antarctica</em> respectively. oligosaccharides constituted 53.3% the component pool....

Abstract The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris (Homoptera: Aphididae), fed, developed, and reproduced on yellow lupine, Lupinus luteus L. (Fabaceae: Genisteae). No clear preferences for any variety within were found. showed negative values of relative growth rate no aphid completed development narrow‐leaf lupine angustifolius Aphids did not ingest phloem sap while probing the probes very short. All varieties rejected by aphids during an early stage in peripheral tissues, that is,...

The paper investigates seed coat characteristics (as a percentage of overall diameter) in Lupinus angustifolius L., potential forage crop. In the study ten L. genotypes, including three Polish cultivars, two Australian mutants originated from cv. 'Emir', and one Belarusian breeding line were evaluated. highest was recorded cultivars 'Sonet' 'Emir'. lowest thickness (below 20%) noted for lines 11257-19, LAG24 cultivar 'Zeus' (17.87%, 18.91% 19.60%, respectively). Despite having low weight,...

Among antibiotics, tetracyclines are the most commonly used and detected in environment.In this study, amount of tetracycline taken up from soil by pea seedlings was analyzed, identified its main site accumulation plants determined also changes protein profile pea.The study demonstrates that take transport drug via roots to over-ground parts then accumulate it youngest parts, such as upper stem leaves.After drug, activity guaiacol peroxidase is modified proteins, two-dimensional gel...

The toxicity of levofloxacin to yellow lupin plants was evaluated in this study. Recommended indexes plant (roots and shoots) growth were determined new proposed which better characterise the phytotoxicity levofloxacin. These were, particular, activity antioxidative enzymes, content free radicals, as well root protein profile. results showed that considerably affected EC50, measured catalase roots, leaves (1.05 0.069 mM, respectively). peroxidase roots dry weight seedlings least sensitive...

Abstract The flatulence-producing soluble oligosaccharides are an important component of lupin seeds and were assayed to establish the pattern their accumulation in relation germinability during seed development maturation. Maturing yellow cv. Juno harvested at 5-day intervals from 15 45 days after flowering (DAF). Seed fresh mass increased a maximum 35 DAF followed by decrease when axis cotyledon tissues changed colour green yellow. Maximum corresponded size. dry continuously until 40 DAF....
