  • - Lake Taihu, a major freshwater lake in eastern China, is experiencing harmful cyanobacterial blooms that produce microcystins (MCs), which can be toxic to humans and animals, especially through its impact on plants like Euryale ferox Salisb.
  • - Research showed that higher concentrations of the toxin MC-LR inhibited the growth of E. ferox seedlings, with significant effects noted at 1 μg/L and maximum at 5 μg/L, while antioxidant enzyme activities increased as a response to the toxin.
  • - The study found that exposure to MC-LR also stimulated the production of secondary metabolites and heightened the activity of detoxification enzymes, indicating that understanding these mechanisms could aid in developing bio-ind
