Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAccumulation and Effect of Manganese on Chloroplasts and Antioxidant Responses in Arabidopsis ThalianaJun Xing, Xue Yang, Cailing YuanIn this study, 5-day-old seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed to 0, 0.5, and 1.0 mmol/L MnCl₂ for 6 days by using three independent biological replicates. The results indicated that Mn content in roots exhibited a dose-dependent increase with rising external Mn supply. The elevated Mn levels led to significant reductions in the nutrient content of K, Ca, Na, and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 18 Jul 2026 · 824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Lead on the Chlorophyll and Antioxidant Response in the Leaves of Arabidopsis thalianaJun Xing, Cailing Yuan, Hui Yu et al.Lead (Pb) is a non-essential heavy metal element for plants. In this study, the effect of 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 g/L Pb on the chlorophyll and antioxidant response was analyzed in the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. The results indicate that 0.025 g/L Pb had no significant effect on the fluorescence intensity of chlorophyll. However, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2024 · 4,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Mercuric Ion on the Oxidant Response and Calcium Ion in the Protoplasts of Arabidopsis ThalianaJun Xing, Rui Wu, Hui Yu et al.As a non-essential element for plant growth and development, the heavy metal mercury (Hg) has significant toxicity to plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mercuric ion (Hg2+) on the oxidant response and calcium ion (Ca2+) in the protoplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana. The protoplast cells were exposed to 5.0, 10.0, and 20.0 mmol/L Hg2+ for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2023 · 4,961 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Status of Pollutants in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China and its Ecological Health AssessmentChun-Jiao Lu, Dan Luo, Muhammad Junaid et al.The Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) stretches along the Yangtze River from Jiangjin District, Chongqing to Yichang, Hubei in China. Since TGRA is the main source of drinking water and fresh fishery in China for millions of people, both researchers and the government have concerns for environmental pollution and ecological security in the TGRA. This review highlighted the status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 28 Sep 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
