ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT The experiments were conducted to study the morphological and biochemical responses of molesta Morphological and Biochemical parameters were recorded at the interval visible symptoms such as chlorosis and withering of roots at higher concentrations of Chromium however, the normal growth was observed at lower concentration of 0.25 and 0.50 ppm. Total chlorophyll, carbohydrate and protein co higher concentration compared to control. Proline accumulation in test plants and directly proportional to the concentration of Chromium which was due to the stress induced by Chromium. The toxicity o exposure.

Effect of Chromium on morphological and biochemical responses on aquatic macrophyte Pistia stratiotes L. (Water lettuce)The current work reports an ecofriendly approach to study morphological and biochemical responses of Pistia stratiotes L. (Water lettuce) were investigated. The assessment of morphological, biochemical parameters, and accumulation of chromium in free-floating macrophyte exposed at its various concentrations viz. 0.25, 0.50, 1.25, and 2.5 ppm of chromium at the regular intervals of 4, 8, and 12 days, respectively. Pistia showed morphological toxicity like withering of roots, chlorosis, and necrosis at higher concentrations (2.5 ppm) of chromium. However, the plant showed normal growth at a lower concentration of 0.25 and 0.50 ppm. The evaluation of biochemical parameters of test plants showed Total Chlorophyll, Carbohydrate, and Protein content was increased at lower concentrations (0.25 ppm) and decreased at higher concentrations (2.5 ppm) of chromium. The toxicity of chromium was found to be directly proportional to its concentration and duration of exposure. It is evident from the results that the accumulation of chromium can produce adverse effects on the morphology of test plant species at a higher concentration of chromium. This may be attributed to the stress-induced by chromium.

Biochemical responses and accumulation of cadmium in Spirodela polyrhizaThe present study focused on biochemical responses of Spirodela polyrhiza to cadmium stresses and its accumulation. The laboratory experiments were conducted for the assessment of biochemical responses and accumulation of cadmium in plants at its various concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 ppm) at the regular interval for twelve days exposure. Spirodela showed visible symptoms like withering of roots and chlorosis at higher concentration (2.0 ppm), however the plant showed normal growth at lower concentration (0.1 ppm). The estimation of biochemical parameters (total chlorophyll, protein and carbohydrate) of test plants showed a significant increase at lower concentration (0.1 ppm) of cadmium. The biochemical changes decrease with increase in exposure concentration and duration. The toxic effect of cadmium is directly proportional to its concentration and duration. The accumulation of cadmium by Spirodela polyrhiza was maximum at four days exposure duration and gradually decreases.

Effect of Chromium VI on edible plants and their health risks: case of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)Radish (raphanus sativus L) is a vegetable very rich in vitamin C and fiber, this plant belonging to the family Brassicacae characterized by their great capacity to accumulate heavy metals such as Chromium. The aim of our work is the study of the effect of Chromium VI on the morpho-physiological parameters of radish and the assessment of health risk related to the bioaccumulation of Cr in the edible parts. The plantation of radish was made on a soil artificially contaminated by 4 concentrations of Cr(VI) (10, 20, 40 and 60ppm). After comparing the results obtained with the results of non-contaminated soil, it is observed that the Cr affects negatively the growth, yield and the content of chlorophyll, On the other hand, it is noticed that there is a slight increase of sugars, proteins and Proline content with the increase of CrVI concentration in the soil, we can explain this increase by the development of defense mechanisms by the radish plant against the stress caused by CrVI. Rega...

Short-term physiological responses to copper stress in Salvinia auriculata Aubl2014 •
AIM: To evaluate, in a short-time exposure, the physiological responses of Salvinia auriculata Aubl. under different concentrations of Cu. METHODS: The plants were exposed to treatments with 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 mM of Cu in a period of 2 days. Then development variables of S. auriculata (weight, photosynthetic pigments, and soluble carbohydrate), lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, aldehydes, and electrolyte leakage) and production of antioxidants (anthocyanins, carotenoids, flavonoids, and proline) were evaluated. RESULTS: It was observed fresh weight reductions in concentrations above 1 mM of Cu. Chlorophyll a decreased with the increase of Cu concentrations unlike chlorophyll b. The ratio chlorophyll a / chlorophyll b was changed due to the degradation of photosynthetic pigments. The reductions of carotenoids were more pronounced than that of total chlorophyll. The values of electrolyte leakage ranged from 14 to 82 % and lipid peroxidation from 7 to 46 nmol.g-1. Flavonoids and so...
