Seed is a developmental stage that is highly protective against external stresses in the plant life cycle. In this study, we analyzed toxicity of essential (Cu2+ and Zn2+) and non-essential heavy metals (Hg2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+) on seed germination and seedling growth in the model species Arabidopsis. Our results show that seedling growth is more sensitive to heavy metals (Hg2+, Pb2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+) in...
Geosmin and C-8 hydrocarbons are among the major volatile organic compounds (VOC) responsible for the distinctive, musty odor of filamentous fungi. In this study, we developed a plant bioassay for testing the possible toxicity of these compounds, as well as four air freshener products sometimes used to mask their odor. Seeds and vegetative plants of Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed to 1 ppm of 14...
