چکیده

TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most produced nanoparticles in the world. In this work, the toxicityof TiO2 nanoparticles on the aquatic plant species Spirodela polyrrhiza was studied, because of significant entrance ofthese nanoparticles into the environment, especially aquatic ecosystems. Characteristics of used TiO2 nanoparticles weredetermined by using x-ray diffraction and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. According to the previous reports,nanomaterials induce oxidative stress and cause producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, some ofantioxidant enzymes, as well as, relative frond number (RFN) and photosynthesis pigments as physiological indices, wereassessed to explore the effects of TiO2 nanoparticles on S. polyrrhiza. Entrance of nanoparticles to plant was recognizedusing fluorescent microscopic images from plant roots. RFN, photosynthesis pigments content and the activity ofperoxidase was decreased after treatment of nanoparticles, however superoxide dismutase activity was increased andcatalase activity did not have significant difference with control plants. Enhance of superoxide dismutase activity couldbe explained as promoting antioxidant system to scavaiging the ROS. Reduced peroxidase activity could be attributed tothe either direct effect of these particles on the molecular structure of this enzyme or plant defense system damage dueROS.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
