... represents a general bioindicator of effects from environmental stress in freshwater plants and algae that is able to detect impacts due to current and increasing levels of UVB. Plants ultraviolet radiation microcosms phytoplankton chlorophyll fluorescence photosynthesis bioindicator...

... Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are phototoxic to animals and plants. To monitor the toxicity of PAHs and understand their mechanism(s) of action, it is important to develop rapid and accurate bioindicators of effect. In this study, we have analyzed the impact of the anthracene...

... (PAM) fluorometry which measures steady state PS II efficiency was also used. This technique also detected negative impacts of photomodified anthracene on the plants. phytotoxicity chlorophyll fluorescence bioindicator primary productivity PAM XJao-Dong Huang 1, Tripuranthakam S. Babu1...

... applications were identified: (1) bioassays; (2) bioindicators; (3) bioremediation; and (4) biotechnology. Improvement to research methodologies would include: (1) developing fluorescence bioassays for terrestrial and aquatic plants and algae and combining plant and animal tests to form regionally...

... Plants are among the most sensitive organisms to pollutants, often responding with distinct, easy-to-recognize symptoms from exposure to specific environmental contaminants. This characteristic makes plants useful as bioindicators and biomonitors of pollutants. Using plants as bioindicators...
