“…Aquatic macrophytes seem to be especially resistant to the toxicity of a great variety of organic pollutants at concentrations normally encountered in typical wastewater compositions. In addition, numerous studies have shown the capability of many macrophyte species to reduce the aqueous concentrations of various organic xenobiotics such as explosives [40,[105][106][107], petroleum hydrocarbons [36], pesticides [108][109][110] and more recently on some pharmaceuticals [100,[111][112][113][114][115].…”

“…While some have suggested using T. latifolia as a potential bioenergy crop, large scale efforts have yet to materialize (Dubbe et al 1988). In addition to these ethno-botanic and potential biofuel uses, T. latifola is a popular plant used in phytoremediation efforts of organic and inorganic pollutants (Wilson et al 2000;Shardendu et al 2003;Amaya-Chávez et al 2006;García-Lledó et al 2011).…”

Phytotoxicity assessments were performed to compare responses of Typha latifolia (L.) seeds to atrazine (only) and atrazine + S-metolachlor exposure concentrations of 0.03, 0.3, 3, and 30 mg L(-1), as well as permethrin exposure concentrations of 0.008, 0.08, 0.8, and 8 mg L(-1). All atrazine + S-metolachlor exposures resulted in significantly reduced radicle development (p < 0.001). A stimulatory effect for coleoptile development was noted in the three highest atrazine (only) exposures (p = 0.0030, 0.0181, and 0.0016, respectively). This research provides data concerning the relative sensitivity of T. latifolia seeds to pesticides commonly encountered in agricultural settings, as well as critical understanding and development of using T. latifolia in phytoremediation efforts for pesticide exposures.

“…In contrast, Lemna minor, exposed to the rice herbicide propanil did not increase GST activity significantly at EC 80 concentrations, during the first week of exposure (Mitsou et al 2006) . Similarly, exposure of Typha latifolia to methyl parathion did not consistently induce significant GST activity (Maya-Chavez et al 2006) . Differential responses were also found for Phragmites australis exposed to cyanotoxins, where microcystin induced a response but nodularin did not (Pflugmacher et al 2001) .…”

“…GST is induced by xenobiotics in a variety of species, and the range of chemicals that induce GST activity in plants is quite broad, encompassing the following: insecticides (methyl parathion), fungicides (folpet), herbicides (dichlofop-methyl, paraquat, pretilachlor, atrazine, fluorodifen), a variety of organic pollutants (PAHs, pentachlorophenol, pyrene, nitrobenzene derivates, TBTCl, hexachlorobenzene), natural toxins (cinnamic acid, cyanobacterial toxins) and metals (Al, Ni) (Anderson and Davis 2004 ;Deng and Hatzios 2002 ;Lei et al 2006 ;Maya-Chavez et al 2006 ;Mitrovic et al 2004 ;Paskova et al 2006 ;Pflugmacher 2004 ;Pflugmacher et al 2000aPflugmacher et al , b, 2001Roy and Hanninen 1994 ;Roy et al 1995 ;Schrenk et al 1998 ;Simonovicova-Olle et al 2006 ;Teisseire and Vernet 2001) . In Lemna minor , Teisseire et al (2000) found that CuSO 4 stimulated GST activity up to 125% of controls, though activity decreased at higher concentrations, probably from cellular damage.…”

This review emphasizes the predictive ability, sensitivity and specificity of aquatic plant biomarkers as biomonitoring agents of exposure and effect. Biomarkers of exposure are those that provide functional measures of exposure that are characterized at a sub-organism level. Biomarkers of effect require causal linkages between the biomarker and effects, measured at higher levels of biological organization. With the exception of pathway specific metabolites, the biomarkers assessed in this review show variable sensitivity and predictive ability that is often confounded by variations in growth conditions, rendering them unsuitable as stand alone indicators of environmental stress. The use of gene expression for detecting pollution has been, and remains immature; this immaturity derives from inadequate knowledge on predictive ability, sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, the ability to the detect mode of action of unknown toxicants using gene expression is not as clear-cut as initially hypothesized. The principal patterns in gene expression is not as clear-cut as initially hypothesized. The principal patterns in gene expression are generally derived from stress induced genes, rather than on ones that respond to substances with known modes of action (Baerson et al. 2005). Future developments in multivariate statistics and chemometric methods that enhance pattern analyses in ways that could produce a "fingerprint", may improve methods for discovering modes of action of unknown toxicants. Pathway specific metabolites are unambiguous, sensitive, correlate well to growth effects, and are relatively unaffected by growth conditions. These traits make them excellent biomarkers under both field and laboratory conditions. Changes in metabolites precede visible growth effects; therefore, measuring changes in metabolite concentrations (Harring et al. 1998; Shaner et al. 2005). The metabolic phase I enzymes (primarily associated with P-450 activity) are non-specific biomarkers, and few studies relate them to growth parameters. P-450 activity both increases and decreases in response to chemical stress, often confounding interpretation of experimental results. Alternatively, phase II metabolic enzymes (e.g., glutathione S-transferases; GST's) appear to be sensitive biomarkers of exposure, and potentially effect. Some GST's are affected by growth factors, but others may only be induced by xenobiotics. Measuring xenobiotic-induced GST's, or their gene expression patterns, are good candidates for future biomarkers of the cumulative load of chemical stress, both in the laboratory and under field conditions. Phytochelatins respond to some but not all metal ions, and may therefore be used as biomarkers of exposure to identify the presence and bioavailability of ions to which they respond. However, more data on their specificity to, and interactions with growth factors, in more species are needed. The flavenoids are only represented by one heavy metal exposure study; therefore their use as biomarkers is currently difficult to judge. S...
