Antimony induced structural and ultrastructural changes in Trapa natans.

Antimony (Sb) is considered as a priority toxic metalloid in the earth crust having no known biological function. The current study was carried out in a hydroponic experiment to study the accumulation of ecotoxic Sb in subcellular level, and to find out the ultrastructural damage caused by Sb in different vegetative parts of Trapa natans. Sb-induced structural and ultrastructural changes of T.

Anatomical and ultrastructural alterations in Ceratopteris pteridoides under cadmium stress: A mechanism of cadmium tolerance.

The present research is an appraisal of anatomical and ultrastructural alterations in aquatic fern, Ceratopteris pteridoides under cadmium (Cd) exposure. Plants were cultured hydroponically for 12 consecutive days in different Cd treatments: 10 µM L (CDT1), 20 µM L (CDT2), 40 µM L (CDT3) and 60 µM L (CDT4). Anatomical and ultrastructural changes of different vegetative tissues of C.

Tolerance mechanism of cadmium in Ceratopteris pteridoides: Translocation and subcellular distribution.

Hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate the biochemical responses and accumulation behaviour of cadmium (Cd) in aquatic fern, Ceratopteris pteridoides, under four different levels of exposure. Plants were grown in 10 μM (CdT1), 20 μM (CdT2), 40 μM (CdT3) and 60 μM (CdT4) concentrations of Cd for 12 consecutive days and Cd accumulation in different plant parts, cell levels and growth medium was estimated. In C.
