In this study, we investigated the impact of foliar-applied FeNPs, their entry through stomata and trichomes within a 45-min interval, and their defensive role to mitigate Pb stress in two tobacco varieties. We found optimized photosynthetic efficiency, biomass indices (29–69%), stomatal length (4.6–14.1 μm), and ultrastructural integrity. Alongside this, we observed FeNPs-mediated decrease in Pb content, Pb bioaccumulation, Pb translocation, Pb localization, and cell death in both tobacco varieties, notably the higher Pb-tolerant variety (Haiyan-204), through fluorescence microscope, scanning electron microscope, atomic absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, and confocal laser scanning microscope. Transmission electron micrographs showed Pb localization mainly in the cell wall, tonoplast, and nucleus, while FeNPs were dispersed over the entire cell. Moreover, we observed association between decreased Pb stress and transcriptional reprogramming of ABC transporters, glutathione metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction, and the MAPK signaling pathway. The GO enrichment analysis highlighted link between FeNPs and response to biological processes mainly defense, ABA, and Jasmonic acid, and cellular processes specifically plasma membrane and chloroplast. Alongside this, genes involved in lead ion transport, metal ion binding, sequestering, and detoxification were screened by analyzing GO functions.

Cladocera, ecologically pivotal crustacean zooplankton in lentic freshwater ecosystems, are characterized by a short life cycle and parthenogenetic reproduction. They exhibit broad geographic distribution, high toxicant sensitivity, and significant interspecific variability, underscoring their critical role in water quality criteria (WQC) and ecological risk assessment. Traditional toxicity testing, however, cannot meet the growing demand for extensive data due to regulatory limitations, scalability issues, and narrow species coverage. This review examines computational toxicology methods to enhance cross-species extrapolation of toxicity sensitivity in Cladocera. We evaluate the Interspecies Correlation Estimation (ICE) model, methods based on Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) processes, and Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) frameworks. Each method's application, strengths, and limitations for predicting interspecies toxicity variations are critically assessed. Furthermore, we propose two novel extrapolation frameworks: “ADME-Trait-TK” (quantifying toxicokinetic differences using traits to forecast internal contaminant concentrations) and “AOP-Gene-TD” (leveraging gene sequences and AOP to extrapolate toxicodynamic responses), outlining their parameters and use cases. Key research gaps are identified, including limited invertebrate AOP development, sparse trait and genomic data for non-model Cladocera, and insufficient integration of environmental variables into predictive models. Future priorities include establishing Cladocera-specific AOP databases, developing multi-scale TK/TD models integrated with omics data, fostering collaboration among ecotoxicologists, computational biologists, and ecologists, and advancing international data-sharing initiatives to address ecological risk assessment complexities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100480,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Pages 551-564"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145736448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface sediments were collected along the mainstream and tributaries, namely Beigang, Old Lianjiang, Chendian, Jinxi, Qiufeng, Xiashan, and Zhonggang rivers. Concentrations of hazardous elements (e.g., Cu, Sb, Cd, Pb, Hg, As) were quantified. The potential ecological risk index (RI) indicated that over 50 % of sampling sites posed high or extreme ecological risk, primarily associated with zones of intensive e-waste recycling and textile industrial discharge. We employed a combination of models with different principles to accurately apportion sources, including positive matrix factorization (PMF), principal component analysis (PCA), and correlation analysis. Results revealed that anthropogenic sources—e-waste recycling activities (characterized by Cu), textile wastewater (characterized by Sb), and urban non-point source pollution—were the dominant contributors, accounting for up to 70 % of the pollutant loads. The source profiles were further validated by comparing them with typical sludge samples from industrial facilities, confirming the distinct chemical fingerprints of each source. Notably, a cost-effectiveness analysis underscored the unsustainability of this development model: 0.48 USD per 1 USD of industrial added value were generated in latent environmental debt, primarily from ecosystem service degradation and remediation costs.
