We examined the efficacy of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D; 500 µM) in enhancing
the potential of Salvinia species for tolerance to aluminum (Al) toxicity (240 and 480 µM …

Although studies on microplastics are increasing every year, still very little is known about
their toxicity. Especially for plant species, even studies of uptake of microplastics are only …

Even though boron is a widely used element in various industries and a contributor to water
pollution worldwide, few studies have examined the toxicity of boron in aquatic plants. EDTA …

The new context of the intensive use of lithium-based batteries led to increased production
of Li and Li-containing wastes. All these activities are potential sources of environmental …

This study proposes a microplate assay for chemical toxicity evaluation using S. natans; this
assay is a miniaturization of a culture dish assay from previous studies. The optimal initial …

Background. Aquatic ecosystems are subjected to significant stress loads and depletion due
to the influx of pollutants of inorganic and organic origin, that pose a serious threat to human …

Hydrophytic ferns of the family Salviniaceae, such as those of the genus Salvinia, hold
promise for application in water purification and bioassessment. The Salvinia species are …
