Long-term experiments conducted at Heney Lake, Quebec, show the binding capacity for the metal ions Cu2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ to be related to algal species composition rather than to total algal biomass or physicochemical parameters. Most of the binding could be accounted for by certain species of green algae, diatoms, and chrysomonads that usually constituted only a minor fraction of the total algal volume. Key words: freshwater phytoplankton, heavy metal binding, field study, diatoms, chrysomonads, green algae

AbstractEarly chemical-induced stress in Solanum tuberosum leaves was visualized using delayed fluorescence (DF) imaging. The ability to detect spatially heterogeneous responses of plant leaves exposed to several toxicants using delayed fluorescence was compared to prompt fluorescence (PF) imaging and the standard maximum fluorescence yield of PSII measurements (Fv/Fm). The toxicants used in the study were two photosynthesis inhibitors (herbicides), 100 µM methyl viologen (MV) and 140 µM diuron (DCMU), and two heavy metals, 100 µM cadmium and 100 µM copper. The exposure times were 5 and 72 h. Significant photosynthesis-inhibitor effects were already visualized after 5 h. In addition, a significant reduction in the DF/PF index was measured in DCMU- and MV-treated leaves after 5 h. In contrast, only DCMU-treated leaves exhibited a significant decrease in Fv/Fm after 5 h. All treatments resulted in a significant decrease in the DF/PF parameter after 72 h of exposure, when only MV and Cd treatment resulted in visible symptoms. Our study highlights the power of delayed fluorescence imaging. Abundant quantifiable spatial information was obtained with the instrumental setup. Delayed fluorescence imaging has been confirmed as a very responsive and useful technique for detecting stress induced by photosynthesis inhibitors or heavy metals.
