Phosphate (PO4(3-)) has been shown to increase glyphosate uptake by willow, a plant species known for its phytoremediation potential. However, it remains unclear if this stimulation of glyphosate uptake can result in an elevated glyphosate toxicity to plants (which could prevent the use of willows in glyphosate-remediation programs). Consequently, we studied the effects of PO4(3-) on glyphosate uptake and toxicity in a fast growing willow cultivar (Salix miyabeana SX64). Plants were grown in hydroponic solution with a combination of glyphosate (0, 0.001, 0.065 and 1 mg l(-1)) and PO4(3-) (0, 200 and 400 mg l(-1)). We demonstrated that PO4(3-) fertilization greatly increased glyphosate uptake by roots and its translocation to leaves, which resulted in increased shikimate concentration in leaves. In addition to its deleterious effects in photosynthesis, glyphosate induced oxidative stress through hydrogen peroxide accumulation. Although it has increased glyphosate accumulation, PO4(3-) fertilization attenuated the herbicide's deleterious effects by increasing the activity of antioxidant systems and alleviating glyphosate-induced oxidative stress. Our results indicate that in addition to the glyphosate uptake, PO4(3-) is involved in glyphosate toxicity in willow by preventing glyphosate induced oxidative stress.

Article Synopsis
- Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are increasing globally and threaten ecosystems and human health, with a significant bloom observed in an aquaculture pond near Haizhou Bay in July 2022.
- The dinoflagellate species responsible for this bloom was identified, known for causing extensive HAB events in China's coastal waters, leading to a notable decrease in phytoplankton species diversity.
- Laboratory tests revealed that this dinoflagellate can effectively utilize various types of dissolved organic phosphorus for growth, suggesting it has a competitive edge over other phytoplankton and may contribute to future algal blooms in aquaculture settings.

Background: The low glyphosate uptake capacity, possibly due to the lipophilic character of epicuticular wax on leaves, may contribute to the natural tolerance of some weed species. The use of pre-emergence herbicides like S-metolachlor, which inhibits very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis, might enhance glyphosate's post-emergent efficacy against hard-to-control weeds, such as Euphorbia heterophylla L. (milkweed) and Ipomoea triloba L.

The pesticide glyphosate has contributed immensely to the ease of farming and high yields. However, the ever-increasing environmental input of pesticides is of particular interest due to several unintended effects on non-target organisms. In soil, the sorption, transport, possible uptake, and effect on plant growth are still not well understood, and much so for the sub-Sahara.

Article Synopsis
- A new biocomposite (FPPW-β-CD) was developed from potato peel waste, β-cyclodextrin, and green citric acid using a sustainable method and characterized through various analysis techniques.
- The biocomposite effectively adsorbed pesticides like glyphosate and diuron from water, with adsorption capacity exceeding 2000 µg/g influenced by pH, temperature, and initial contaminant concentration.
- The adsorption processes were spontaneous and favorable, showing that glyphosate adsorption involved physisorption while diuron involved chemisorption, indicating the biocomposite's potential as a green solution for pesticide removal from water.

Photosensitization reactions caused by ultraviolet and visible radiation (UV-vis) absorbing chemicals can induce DNA damage through direct and indirect mechanisms. In this context, the investigation of phototoxicity is an essential part of the toxicological assessment programs for drugs, cosmetics and other chemicals that may be exposed to UV-vis light. The current battery of photosafety assessment tests includes an initial investigation of their photoreactive potential followed by in vitro phototoxicity testing.
