Physiological Responses and Phytotoxicities of Lythrum salicaria to Decabromodiphenyl Ether (BDE-209)

Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), a member of a major group of brominated flame retardants, is detected in aquatic environments at considerable levels and induces physiological and toxic effects on aquatic plants. In this study, the physiological responses induced by and the toxic effects of BDE-209 at different concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mg L-1) in Lythrum salicaria were examined. OJIP transient curves indicated that BDE-209 treatment negatively affected photosystem II (PSII) grouping. Additionally, the results showed that BDE-209 inhibited seedling development and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and antioxidative enzyme activities in the roots and shoots of L. salicaria. The results revealed that BDE-209 exposure contributed to ROS accumulation, which was considered as the probable toxicity mechanism. The current results provided an insight into the development of L. salicaria with high BDE-209 tolerance.
