The deterioration of water quality caused by human activities has triggered significant impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Submerged macrophytes play an important role in freshwater ecosystem restoration. Understanding the relative contributions sources and environment to adaptive strategies submerged is crucial for restoration protection. In this study, perennial macrophyte

As a paradoxical nutrient in water ecosystems, ammonium can promote plants growth under moderate concentration, but excess of it causes phytotoxic effects. Previous research has revealed that glutamate dehydrogenase the above-ground part submerged macrophytes plays an important role detoxification. However, strategies utilization at whole plant level are still unclear and not been clearly elucidated previous studies, hence, directly influencing application theory to practice. In present...

Sambucus L. is found in the family Viburnaceae (syn. Adoxaceae) and encompasses approximately 29 accepted species. The complex morphology of these species has caused continued confusion concerning their nomenclature, classification, identification. Despite previous attempts to resolve taxonomic complexities genus, there are still unclear phylogenetic relationships among several In this study, newly obtained plastome williamsii Hance. as well populations canadensis L., javanica Blume, adnata...

Ammonium toxicity in macrophytes reduces growth and development due to a disrupted metabolism high carbon requirements for internal ammonium detoxification. To provide more molecular support detoxification the above-ground below-ground parts of Myriophyllum spicatum, we separated (using hermetic bags) aqueous medium surrounding from that explored genes these two regions. The results showed an upregulation asparagine synthetase under concentrations. Furthermore, transcriptional down and/or...
