A non-invasive observation parameter to complement sediment bioassays using Myriophyllum aquaticum

Abstract: Purpose The objective of this study was to modify a sediment contact protocol to a multiwell plate exposure system which supplements measurement of the fresh weight change (FWC) using the non-invasive effective quantum yield of energy conversion at photosystem II (PS II) reaction centres (Y(II)) in parallel. Since Y(II) is a functional parameter and FWC represents a whole-plant structural response, the determination of a more pronounced response in one of these parameters may hint at the mode of action of cont… Show more

“…In addition to the MELI, the end points main shoot length change (SLC), dry weight change (DWC) and photosynthetic efficiency [ Y (II)] of M. spicatum plants, as well as their inhibition ( I SLC , I DWC , I Y(II) ), were calculated for each treatment as previously reported . Concentration–response relationships were determined by use of the Hill model with the equation given in Table .…”

“…In addition to the metabolic fingerprints, main shoot length change (SLC) and dry weight change (DWC) were observed as apical observation parameters and photosynthetic efficiency [Y(II)] was determined as a functional end point closely related to the primary target site of the PS II inhibitor. Hereby, the measurement of variable chlorophyll fluorescence was adapted as noninvasive observation parameter in the bioassay, based on a protocol of Schreiber et al 25 using a maxi-imaging pulse-amplitude-modulated (I-PAM) chlorophyll fluorometer (Walz, Effeltrich, Germany). For measurement details on growth-related and functional end points, see Supporting Information (section 3 and Table S1).…”
