This study aimed to investigate the role of ABA in alleviating cadmium (Cd) stress in two Brassica napus of oil-vegetable dual-purpose (Youfei 1 and Xiangyou 787). Cd stress disturbed the normal growth of rapeseed, however, specific ABA concentrations could alleviate the effects of Cd stress in B. napus. The results confirmed that exogenous ABA mitigates the negative effects of Cd-induced plant toxicity in B. napus by increasing growth traits, enhancing pigment molecules, enhancing gas exchange in leaves, as well as regulating antioxidation and the expression levels of genes related to Cd stress. This study indicated that ABA played an important protective role in regulating cadmium resistance in Brassica napus, and provided basic data for its application in actual production.","PeriodicalId":11785,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability","volume":"174 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89379604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparing with the plants pretreated with municipal drinking water, plants pretreated with 20 mM acetic acid or calcium acetate solutions exhibited strikingly increased drought tolerance. In addition, 20 mM calcium acetate significantly increased shoot As concentration by 165% and the total shoot As amount by 55.1%, probably due to the elevated soil pH and a subsequent 14.2% increase of soil available As. Taken together, this study demonstrates that the appropriate application of calcium acetate can enhance both drought tolerance and As accumulation in P. vittata, which is of significance for the phytoremediation.","PeriodicalId":11785,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability","volume":"95 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90988173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of 10 rats each: the 1st group was the control; the 2nd group was exposed to Imidacloprid (25 mg/kg); the 3rd group received Deltametrin (200 mg/kg) and the 4th group received a mixture (Imidacloprid + Deltametrin) with the same dose for 30 days. The results showed that subacute exposure of rats to these insecticides induced a decrease in relative liver weights. On the other hand, hepatic activity was altered; however, there was a significant rise at the level of hepatic enzymes, blood sugar and lipids versus decreased protein in treated rats. These modifications were accompanied by alterations of the hepatic tissue structure in the treated rats, compared to the controls which remained intact. The alterations and lesions were more marked in the animals receiving the Imidacloprid and Deltametrin mixture.

Cultivation was done in outdoor condition by comparing synthetic medium and POME medium, and optimizing the enviromental and nutritional conditions by using Box-behnken response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that high growth rate (0.35/d) and lipid (40%) were achieved when 75% POME fraction, 30 PSU salinity, and 450 mg/L urea were used.
