Abstract:
To probe the influence and the adverse-resistance characteristics of wetland plants in presence of silver nanoparticles(AgNPs), the changes in the physiological and biochemical characteristics(including the superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity, catalase(CAT)activity, peroxidase(POD)activity, soluble protein content, and chlorophyll content)of Typha orientalis exposed to different concentrations of AgNPs solutions(0, 0.1, 1, 20 and 40 mg/L)were explored. Meantime, the accumulation of silver content in these plants was revealed. The results show that under low concentrations of AgNPs, the SOD and POD activities in the leaves of Typha orientalis are strengthened to different degrees. However, high concentrations of AgNPs inhibit the activities of SOD and POD. Under the stress of different concentrations of AgNPs, the CAT activities are inhibited initially and later recovered to some extent. Under the stress of low concentrations of AgNPs, the soluble protein content in the leaves of Typha orientalis increases significantly, but decreases more significantly with increasing concentrations of AgNPs. Low concentrations of AgNPs promote chlorophyll synthesis in the leaves of Typha orientalis, but the chlorophyll content subsequently falls to pre-stress levels. In contrast, high concentrations of AgNPs cause a certain inhibition to generate chlorophyll. Meanwhile, the results show that the silver concentrations of plant tissues increase with the exposure of concentrations of AgNPs and they have a positive relationship with the exposure of concentrations of AgNPs.
