“…The kinetics of chlorophyll a fluorescence is a very informative tool that is used for the noninvasive analysis of the effects of different environmental stresses such as Cd toxicity on photosynthesis (Baker, 2008;Kalaji et al, 2012; Kalaji, Govindjee, Bosa, Ko scielniak, & _ Zuk-Gołaszewska, 2011; Kalaji, Oukarroum, et al, 2014;Kalaji, Schansker, et al, 2014;Rungrat et al, 2016;Sitko et al, 2017;Strasser, Tsimili-Michael, & Srivastava, 2004). Moreover, measuring the chlorophyll, flavonol and anthocyanin content has become a popular method for quickly analyzing the plant physiological status both in the field and in laboratory conditions (Gonzalez-Mendoza et al, 2017;Sitko et al, 2017;Szopi nski et al, 2019).…”

Pseudometallophytes are commonly used to study the evolution of metal tolerance and accumulation traits in plants. Within the Arabidopsis genus, the adaptation of Arabidopsis halleri to metalliferous soils has been widely studied, which is not the case for the closely related species Arabidopsis arenosa. We performed an in-depth physiological comparison between the A. halleri and A. arenosa populations from the same polluted site, together with the geographically close non-metallicolous (NM) populations of both species. The ionomes, growth, photosynthetic parameters and pigment content were characterized in the plants that were growing on their native site and in a hydroponic culture under Cd treatments. In situ, the metallicolous (M) populations of both species hyperaccumulated Cd and Zn. The NM population of A. halleri hyperaccumulated Cd and Zn while the NM A. arenosa did not. In the hydroponic experiments, the NM populations of both species accumulated more Cd in their shoots than the M populations. Our research suggests that the two Arabidopsis species evolved different strategies of adaptation to extreme metallic environments that involve fine regulation of metal homeostasis, adjustment of the photosynthetic apparatus and accumulation of flavonols and anthocyanins.

“…Measurements of pigment contents such as chlorophyll, flavonols and anthocyanins have also become increasingly popular due to the development of portable devices, which enable measurements of these pigment contents in laboratory as well as in situ (Cerovic et al, 2015; Lefebvre et al, 2016; Gonzalez-Mendoza et al, 2017; Hosseini et al, 2017; Sitko et al, 2017). Flavonols and anthocyanins belong to flavonoid secondary metabolites, which are the largest class of polyphenols (around 8,000 metabolites) in plants (Mattivi et al, 2006; Tohge et al, 2017).…”

Toxic Effects of Cd and Zn on the Photosynthetic Apparatus of the Arabidopsis halleri and Arabidopsis arenosa Pseudo-Metallophytes

et al. 2019

Hyperaccumulation and hypertolerance of Trace Metal Elements (TME) like Cd and Zn are highly variable in pseudo-metallophytes species. In this study we compared the impact of high Cd or Zn concentration on the photosynthetic apparatus of the Arabidopsis arenosa and Arabidopsis halleri pseudo-metallophytes growing on the same contaminated site in Piekary Slaskie in southern Poland. Plants were grown in hydroponic culture for 6 weeks, and then treated with 1.0 mM Cd or 5.0 mM Zn for 5 days. Chlorophyll a fluorescence and pigment content were measured after 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days in plants grown in control and exposed to Cd or Zn treatments. Moreover, the effect of TME excess on the level of oxidative stress and gas-exchange parameters were investigated. In both plant species, exposure to high Cd or Zn induced a decrease in chlorophyll and an increase in anthocyanin contents in leaves compared to the control condition. After 5 days Cd treatment, energy absorbance, trapped energy flux and the percentage of active reaction centers decreased in both species. However, the dissipated energy flux in the leaves of A. arenosa was smaller than in A. halleri . Zn treatment had more toxic effect than Cd on electron transport in A. halleri compared with A. arenosa . A. arenosa plants treated with Zn excess did not react as strongly as in the Cd treatment and a decrease only in electron transport flux and percentage of active reaction centers compared with control was observed. The two species showed contrasting Cd and Zn accumulation. Cd concentration was almost 3-fold higher in A. arenosa leaves than in A. halleri . On the opposite, A. halleri leaves contained 3-fold higher Zn concentration than A. arenosa . In short, our results showed that the two Arabidopsis metallicolous populations are resistant to high Cd or Zn concentration, however, the photosynthetic apparatus responded differently to the toxic effects.

“…Leaves were maintained in darkness for 10 min before taking the data on chlorophyll fluorescence. The maximal intensity of the light source, providing an irradiance saturating pulse of 3,000 mmol photons.m −2 .s −1 was used according to Gonzalez-Mendoza [ 15 ]. The ratio of variable fluorescence to maximal fluorescence (Fv/Fm) is an indicator of the efficiency of the photosynthetic apparatus and was calculated according to the method of Küpper [ 16 ].…”

“…To measure of leaf chlorophyll ( Chl) and polyphenol content (EPhen), the adaxial side of the leaf was measured at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure to metal-NP using the Dualex (FORCE-A, Orsay, France) and were expressed in arbitrary units (a.u.) according to Gonzalez-Mendoza [ 15 ].…”

The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) of copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) from Justicia spicigera on the photochemical efficiency and phenol pattern of Prosopis glandulosa. In this study, the existence of localized surface plasmon resonance absorption associated with the nano-sized nature of Ag, Cu and Cu/Ag particles was confirmed by the presence of a single peak around 487, 585, and 487/580 nm respectively. Zeta potential and electrophoretic mobility were found to be 0.2 mV and 0.02 μmcm/(Vs) for synthesized NPs indicating less stability and thus tendency to agglomerate, and broad distribution of particles. Cu-NPs and Cu/Ag-NPs demonstrate that the dispersed phase is stable and has a minimum particle size at zeta potentials above –30 mV. Changes in phenolic compounds, total chlorophyll, and photochemical efficiency in leaves exposed to Ag, Cu and Cu/Ag phyto-nanoparticles were evaluated up to 72 hours. The results revealed that Ag-NP and Cu-NP from J. spicigera at 100 mg/L showed significant reduction in chlorophyll, epidermal polyphenol content and photochemical efficiency of P. glandulosa. In contrast, the application of bimetallic Cu/Ag-NP from J. spicigera showed a positive impact on physiological parameters of P. glandulosa after 72 h of exposure.
