| 1 | A comparison of the toxicity of landfill leachate exposure at the seed soaking and germination stages on Zea mays L.(maize)显示文摘To compare the toxicity of landfill leachate exposure at the early stages of seed soaking and germination on maize,a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological aspects of growth,yield and potential clastogenicity of root-tip cells. The maizes were treated with leachate at levels of 2%,10%,20%,30% or 50%(V/V). First,the change of physiological indexes,including chlorophyll(Chl),Malondialdehyde(MDA)and Reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels,combined with yield all showed that soaking with leachate,but not germination,generated a greater ecological risk on maize. After a soaking treatment of maize with 50% leachate,the Chl,MDA and ROS levels during a vigorous growth period were 47.3%,149.8% and 309.7%,respectively,of the control,whereas the yield decreased to 68.6% of the control. In addition,our results demonstrated that the leachate at lower levels could promote growth. This is mainly embodied in that the yield of maize treated with 10%leachate at the soaking stage increased to 116.0% of the control. Moreover,the cytological analysis experiment also demonstrated that the ecological risk of leachate still exists in both cases. Furthermore,the gray relational analysis showed that the ear row number and tassel branch number were the major factors affecting the yield of maize treated with 50%leachate at the stages of soaking and germination,respectively. In general,these results are helpful in understanding the phytotoxicity of leachate,which provides additional reference data for risk assessment and management of leachate. | Guangke Li Junyan Chen Wei Yan Nan Sang | 2017 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2017，29，5： | 2 |
| 3 | The fate of antibiotic resistance genes in the coastal lagoon with multiple functional zones显示文摘Coastal lagoons provide many important services to human society,but their year-round use for aquaculture introduces large amounts of sewage.The contamination of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs)is therefore of great concern.In this study,50 ARGs subtypes,two integrase genes(intl1,intl2),and 16S rRNA genes were detected by high-throughput quantitative PCR,and standard curves of all target genes were prepared for quantification.The occurrence and distribution of ARGs in a typical coastal lagoon(XinCun lagoon,China)were comprehensively explored.We detected 44 and 38 subtypes of ARGs in the water and sediment,respectively,and discuss the various factors influencing the fate of ARGs in the coastal lagoon.Macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramins B was the primary ARG type,and macB was the predominant subtype.Antibiotic efflux and antibiotic inactivation were the main ARG resistance mechanisms.The XinCun lagoon was divided into eight functional zones.The ARGs showed a distinct spatial distribution owing to the influence of microbial biomass and anthropogenic activity in different functional zones.Fishing rafts,abandoned fish ponds,the town sewage zone,and mangrove wetlands provided a large quantity of ARGs to the XinCun lagoon.Nutrients and heavy metals also significantly correlated with the fate of the ARGs,especially NO_(2)^(−)-N and Cu,which cannot be ignored.It is noteworthy that lagoon-barrier systems coupled with persistent pollutant inputs result in coastal lagoons acting as a“buffer pool”for ARGs,which can then accumulate and threaten the offshore environment. | Shisheng Li Hui Gao Haibo Zhang Guangke Wei Qin Shu Ruijing Li Shuaichen Jin Guangshui Na Yali Shi | 2023 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2023，，6： | 0 |
