“…Additionally, decreases in chlorophyll content and increases in ascorbic acid content (an important antioxidant) were observed by Prajapati and Tripathi (2008), as a result of urban dust deposition. In general, it can be said that chlorophyll impairment can indicate a cascade of changes in a plant, especially a progressive decline in the content of important metabolites, such as proteins, amino acids, carotenoids, and total sugars (Prasad and Inamdar 1990;Rai 2016). In regard to Hypothesis 3, we fully confirmed that a large amount of PM, but set into relation of realistic PM concentrations, has a negative impact on the photosynthetic apparatus, based on the rate of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and F v /F m .…”

“…This negative impact may be due to the fact that there is likely a relationship between biochemical parameters, and plant growth and development (Saadullah et al 2014;Rai 2016). For example, Prasad and Inamdar (1990) found that cement PM reduced plant height in dusted plants; this response to environmental pollution was likely due to decreased photosynthesis per unit leaf, and increased respiration. In the present study, despite a significant decrease in the value of physiological parameters, we did not observe a clear relationship with the growth of saplings (only a decrease in annual increase in leader shoot length in T. cordata, under roadside PM stress).…”

“…All types of air pollutants, especially PM, have potentially harmful impacts on biochemical parameters, which can further lead to a reduction in the overall growth and development of plants (Naidoo and Chirkoot 2004;Nanos and Ilias 2007;Rai 2016). For example, PM from cement kilns decreases height, biomass, net productivity, and chlorophyll content in plants (Prasad and Inamdar 1990). Plants that are constantly exposed to PM successively accumulate and integrate these pollutants into their leaves, which can cause direct chronic injury (e.g.…”

Trees in urban and industrial areas significantly help to limit the amount of particulate matter (PM) suspended in the air, but PM has a negative impact on their life. The amount of PM gathered on leaves depends on quantity, size, and morphology of leaves and can also be increased by the presence of epicuticular waxes, in which PM can become stuck or immersed. In this study, we determined the ability of PM to accumulate on leaves in relation to the species of tree and PM source. We tested saplings of three common European tree species (Betula pendula, Quercus robur, and Tilia cordata) by experimentally polluting them with PM from different sources (cement, construction, and roadside PM), and then assessing the effects of PM on plant growth and ecophysiology. In all studied species, we have found two types of PM accumulation: a layer on the leaf surface and an in-wax layer. Results showed that the studied species accumulate PM on their leaf blade, reducing the efficiency of its photosynthetic apparatus, which in a broader sense can be considered a reduction in the plants’ normal functioning. Saplings of Q. robur suffered the least, whereas B. pendula (especially photosynthetic rate and conductivity) and T. cordata (especially increase in leader shoot length) exhibited greater negative effects. The foliage of B. pendula collected the most PM, followed by Q. robur, and then T. cordata, regardless of the dust’s source. All tested species showed a tendency for higher wax production when growing under PM pollution stress. We believe that, potentially, B. pendula best enhances the quality of the PM-contaminated environment; however, faster leaf fall, reduced productivity, and worse quality of wood should be considered in urban forest management.

“…Adverse effect was found by Mei et In Epiprepnum aureum a signi cant increase in protein was observed due to the treatment at 1.0 mM Cs, while 10 mM Cs caused a signi cant decrease for 20 days ( Kamel et al, 2007), which indicates that while in lower concentration, the protein content increased but with the gradual increase in treatment the content of protein is affected. The reduction in protein content might be due to the enhanced rate of protein denaturation, which is also supported by the ndings of Prasad and Inamdar (1990). Constantinidou and Kozlowski (1979) found enhanced protein denaturation and breakdown of existing protein to amino acids as the main causes of reduction in protein content.…”

Stable isotopes of Cesium (Cs) and Strontium (Sr), along with their radioactive isotopes, impose a menace to the populace and environment. For a sustainable decontamination process, the present study focuses on Catharanthus roseus (L.) G.Don, a perennial herb exhibiting effective extraction competence to above-ground biomass, was employed under spiked Cs and Sr treatments. Under modulated plant growth chamber, the hydroponic culture experiments were carried out with Cs dosing as 0-5mM (CsCl) and Sr as 0-3mM (SrCl2. 6H2O) for 21days. Parameters such as chlorophyll content, soluble protein, level of defense enzymatic antioxidants, stable isotope uptake, translocation, and spatial distribution were interpreted. Hyperaccumulation capacity was estimated with transfer factor (TF). The quantification of Cs and Sr in different plant parts was accomplished with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). With increasing concentration of metals the accumulation increased for Cs ( 255.2- 1828.76 mg/kg.dw) and Sr ( 831.16 - 5383.76 mg/kg.dw) while the transfer factor decreased for Cs (1.84 - 1.07) and Sr ( 9.3-3.2). For Cs and Sr, with increasing concentration, plants exhibited enzymatic expression for defense against metal toxicity by free radicals. With increasing treatments, plant physiology was also relatively affected. Spatial distribution of Cs and Sr in plant leaf was assessed with field emission electron microscopy with Energy dispersive spectroscopy (FE-SEM with EDS), which unveiled the accumulation of Cs, Sr, and their homologous elements in plant leaf.

“…Most plants experience physiological changes before exhibiting visible damage to leaves [7]. Thus, the adverse effect of air pollution have been studied by taking selected parameters such as chlorophyll content [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], relative moisture content [15][16], ascorbic acid content [17] and air pollution tolerance index of some plants have been calculated [18][19]. APTI has been used to identifying tolerance levels of plant species [20][21][22][23].…”

Air Pollution Tolerance Index of Taberneamontana divericata plant of polluted road side and unpolluted park at Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India has been studied. Phytochemical test such as pH, relative water content, total chlorophyll content and total ascorbic acid of the leaf extract was measured by the standard methods. The Air pollution tolerance index (APTI) was calculated for two leaf samples, one collected from traffic polluted road side and another from a nearby unpolluted park. The study revealed that higher value of APTI of leaves of T. divericata was found at polluted road side than the leaves collected from unpolluted Park. This indicates the tolerance capacity depends on its phytochemical content i.e. pH, relative water content, total chlorophyll content and total ascorbic acid of leaf of plant.
