Bisphenol A (BPA), an emerging pollutant in the environment, has potential toxic effects on plants. The toxicity mechanism, however, remains largely unknown. The antioxidant system plays an important role in protecting plants against the damage of stress. The present study investigated the effects of BPA on the antioxidant system (superoxide dismutase [SOD], peroxidase [POD], catalase [CAT], ascorbic acid [AsA], proline, reduced glutathione [GSH]), reactive oxygen species (ROS; hydrogen peroxide [H2 O2 ], superoxide anion [O2 (-) ]) accumulation, and membrane lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde [MDA], cell membrane permeability) in soybean seedling roots. The 1.5 mg L(-1) BPA exposure did not affect test indices in the roots. Exposure to 3.0 mg L(-1) , 6.0 mg L(-1) , 12.0 mg L(-1) , or 24.0 mg L(-1) BPA caused increases in SOD (except for 3.0 mg L(-1) BPA) and CAT activities, as well as in AsA, proline, and GSH (except for 3.0 mg L(-1) BPA) content, leading to increases in the H2 O2 and O2 (-) content and to membrane lipid peroxidation. Exposure to 48.0 mg L(-1) or 96.0 mg L(-1) BPA caused decreases in the CAT activity and AsA/GSH content, as well as increases in the SOD and POD activities and the proline content, leading to excess ROS accumulation (i.e., H2 O2 and O2 (-) ) and cell membrane damage. After withdrawal of BPA exposure, ROS accumulation and membrane lipid peroxidation were alleviated by regulating a special antioxidant enzyme or substance.

“…However, in the combined treatment with the low‐concentration BPA and the high‐concentration Cd, Cd could alter the cell membrane permeability of soybean seedling roots , allowing more BPA to enter the root cells. The increased BPA further inhibited the gene transcription and translation of nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase , interacted with the active sites of nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase, and generated more reactive oxygen species and 14‐3‐3 proteins in plants . These effects decreased nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase activities in soybean seedling roots.…”

Bisphenol A (BPA) and cadmium (Cd) pollution exist simultaneously in many regions. However, little information is available regarding the combined effects of BPA and Cd pollution on plants. Plant roots are in direct contact with the soil, which is an important compartment of BPA and Cd. In the present study, the effects of combined BPA and Cd pollution on soybean seedling roots were evaluated in pot experiments. Combined treatment with BPA and Cd at low concentrations (1.5 mg/kg BPA and 0.2 mg/kg Cd) improved soybean seedling root growth. However, other combined BPA and Cd treatments, including combined treatment with BPA (Cd) at the low concentration and Cd (BPA) at the high concentration as well as combined treatment with BPA and Cd at the high concentration, inhibited soybean seedling root growth. The improvement or inhibition of soybean seedling root growth was greater in the combined BPA and Cd treatments than in single treatments. The effects of the combined BPA and Cd treatments on root growth resulted from changes in nitrate assimilation. In addition, the combined effects of BPA and Cd on the nitrate and ammonium contents in roots are discussed. The present research provides a basic understanding of the combined effects of BPA and Cd pollution on plant roots.

“…with the BPA metabolism [27]. Reactive oxygen metabolites such as superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, peroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide are cytotoxic agents because of their ability to induce oxidative stress [28]. BPA has been shown to induce oxidative stress in land and aquatic plants [29][30][31].…”

The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of some environmental factors including temperature, water vegetation, bed mud and pH on LC 50, LC 90 and LT 50 of bisphenol A (BPA) on the snail host of Schistosoma mansoni, Biomphalaria alexandrina. Effects of exposure to the sublethal concentrations of BPA on some biological aspects of the snails and on the cercarial output form S. mansoni infected snails were studied. Results showed that temperature, water vegetation, bed mud and pH markedly affected the lethality of BPA. The biological parameters of B. alexandrina including survival rate, egg hatchability and egg laying capacity were greatly affected by exposure to BPA and the response was dose dependent. Regarding the possible effect of BPA on transmission of schistosomiasis, results showed that exposure to different concentration of BPA for 7 days before miracidial infection caused the death of all the snails before reaching the patent period while, no cercarial output was recorded from snails exposed to BPA for 24 hrs till their death. In conclusion, our results showed that the environmental characteristics may alter the biological impacts of BPA and the exposure of snail to BPA may affect the transmission of schistosomiasis.organs, enlarged sex glands, oviduct deformities, and increased fecundity), oviduct rupture, and mortality [12]. In the mollusk Mytilus edulis, spawning induction, as well as oocyte and ovarian follicle damage, was observed following BPA exposure for 3 weeks at 50.0 mg L -1 [13]. The effect of BPA appears to vary considerably among related taxa, and it appears that some invertebrates may be hypersensitive to BPA exposure (freshwater molluscs and insect larvae, and marine copepods in particular).The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of some environmental factors including temperature, water vegetation, bed mud and pH on the effect of bisphenol A on the fresh water snails, B. alexandrina and consequently the transmission of schistosomiasis. The possible effect of BPA on the Schistosoma cercarial output form the snails was also studied. Materials and MethodsMaintenance and rearing of B. alexandrina snails B. alexandrina snails were collected from fresh water canals in Warrak El-Arab village, Giza Governorate. The collected snails were maintained in glass tank filled with dechlorinated tap water under constant temperature (25 ± 2 ºC) with diurnal alteration and fed on dried lettuce leaves for at least three weeks before being used for the following experiments. Maintenance and rearing of the snails were done according to [14]. Determination of LC 50, LC 90 and LT 50 of bisphenol A against B. alexandrina snailsBisphenol A (4,4´-isopropylidinedi-phenol) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich Company, Germany. Stock solution of BPA (100 mg L -1 ) was prepared according to the method of [15]. A series of IntroductionStudying the environmental conditions related to the occurrence of snail intermediate host can provide valuable information on its breeding s...
