Abstract
Phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) assisted phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd) pollution is an effective method, but the mechanism of PSB-enhanced in-situ remediation of Cd contaminated sediment by submerged plants is still rare. In this study, PSB (Leclercia adecarboxylata L1-5) was inoculated in the rhizosphere of Potamogeton crispus L. (P. crispus) to explore the effect of PSB on phytoremediation. The results showed that the inoculation of PSB effectively improved the Cd extraction by P. crispus under different Cd pollution and the Cd content in the aboveground and underground parts of P. crispus all increased. The μ-XRF images showed that most of the Cd was enriched in the roots of P. crispus. PSB especially showed positive effects on root development and chlorophyll synthesis. The root length of P. crispus increased by 51.7 %, 80.5 % and 74.2 % under different Cd pollution, and the Ca/Cb increased by 38.9 %, 15.2 % and 8.6 %, respectively. Furthermore, PSB enhanced the tolerance of P. crispus to Cd. The contents of soluble protein, MDA and H2O2 in 5 mg·kg-1 and 7 mg·kg-1 Cd content groups were decreased and the activities of antioxidant enzymes were increased after adding PSB. The results showed that the application of PSB was beneficial to the in-situ remediation of submerged plants.

Abstract
Under the present investigation, the submerged plant Potamogeton pusillus has been tested for the removal of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). P. pusillus removal efficiency and accumulation capacity were examined in separated Pb and Cd solutions, at 0.5, 1.0, and 2 mg L-1, and in solutions where both metals were present at the same concentration (0.5, 1.0, and 2 mg L-1), under laboratory conditions for 3, 7, and 10 days. Also, we examined the removal efficiency and accumulation capacity when a set of plants were exposed to 0.5 mg L-1 of Pb (or Cd) and increasing concentrations (0.5, 1, and 2 mg L-1) of Cd (or Pb) for 10 days. The effect of Cd and Pb was assessed by measuring changes in the chlorophylls, carotenoids, and malondialdehyde contents. Results showed that P. pusillus could accumulate Cd and Pb from individual solutions. Roots and leaves accumulated the highest amount of Cd and Pb followed by the stems. Some phytotoxic effects were observed, especially at individual Cd exposures, but these effects were not observed in the two-metal system. The removal and accumulation of Pb by P. pusillus were significantly enhanced in the presence of Cd under certain conditions, presenting a good alternative for the removal of these metals from polluted aquifers. To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first report on both enhanced phytoextraction of Pb in the presence of Cd and bioaccumulation of these heavy metals by P. pusillus.

Abstract
Multi-species submerged plants grow with succession patterns in the same habit and play an important role in the aquatic ecosystems. The decomposition of submerged plants in aquatic environments was a disturbance that affected the water quality and microbial community structures. However, the responses of the microbial community function in surface water to the disturbance remain poorly understood. In this study, the effects of submerged macrophyte Potamogeton crispus L decomposition on the water quality and microbial carbon metabolism functions (MCMF) in the overlying water were investigated in the presence/absence of Vallisneria natans. The result showed that the decomposition rapidly released a large amount of organic matter and nutrients into the overlying water. The presence of Vallisneria natans promoted the removal of dissolved organic carbon and fluorescent component C3, resulting in lower values of the percentage content of C3 (C3%). Under various decomposition processes, the MCMF changed over time and significantly negatively correlated with C3%. The functional diversity of MCMF significantly correlated with the fluorescence organic matters, such as the richness and Simpson index correlated with the amount of C1, C1+C2+C3, and C3%. But UV-visible absorption indexes and nutrients in the overlying water had no relationship with the MCMF, except for the total nitrogen correlated with the richness. These results suggested that under various decomposition conditions, the fluorescent dissolved organic matter could be used as an indicator for quick prediction of MCMF in surface water.

Abstract
Aerenchyma formation plays an important role in the survival of Potamogeton perfoliatus in submerged environment. To understand the regulatory role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caspase 3-like protein signaling molecules in aerenchyma formation, we investigated the effects of exogenous NADPH oxidase inhibitor (diphenyleneiodonium chloride, DPI), catalase inhibitor (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, AT), and caspase-3-like protein inhibitor (AC-DEVD-CHO, DEVD) on morphological and physiological characteristics and aerenchyma formation in P. perfoliatus. The results showed that after DPI treatment, caspase-3-like protein activity decreased, ROS-related enzyme activities increased, and H2O2 content decreased, thereby inhibiting aerenchyma formation. When the concentration of DPI was approximately 1 μmol/L, the inhibitory effect was the most obvious. On the contrary, after the AT treatment, caspase-3-like protein activity increased, ROS-related enzyme activities decreased, and the H2O2 content increased, ultimately promoting aerenchyma formation, and the promotion was the most obvious under treatment with approximately 500 μmol/L AT. After DEVD treatment, the inhibition of vegetative growth caused by DPI or AT treatment was alleviated, significantly reducing caspase-3-like activity and inhibiting aerenchyma development. The results of this study show that ROS has a positive regulatory effect on aerenchyma formation, and caspase-3-like protein is activated to promote ROS-mediated aerenchyma formation. This experiment provides a new theoretical basis for further exploration of the signal transduction effects of ROS and caspase-3-like protein in plant cells and their roles in plant development.

Abstract
Ecologically restoring eutrophic water bodies by using submerged macrophytes is an economical, effective and sustainable technology worldwide. However, current understanding on the nutrient absorption pathway of submerged macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems, especially under different trophic states, is still limited. In this study, two strategically designed systems were established to form isolated units for preventing nutrient exchange amongst Potamogeton crispus, water column and sediments. Results showed that, in oligotrophic state, P. crispus mainly relied on their roots to absorb nutrients from sediments for maintaining stable growth, with the maximum average height, fresh weight and relative growth rate of 12.85 cm, 4.86 g ind-1 and 0.062, respectively. However, the eutrophic conditions (TN of 4 mg L-1 and TP of 0.3 mg L-1) triggered the shift of the nutrient absorption pathway from the roots to the shoots to some extent, that is, the shoots of P. crispus gradually became a remarkable pathway to directly absorb nutrients from the water column. Approximately 49.85% and 18.35% of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) from overlying water were allocated to the shoots of P. crispus, but had no effects on the growth, photosynthesis and ecological stoichiometric differences (p > 0.05). Sediments acting as a nitrogen (N) source supported nearly 11.56% of TN for shoot uptake and simultaneously received around 13.33% of TP subsidy from the overlying water. The no longer sole dependence of submerged macrophytes on their root system to absorb N and phosphorus nutrients indicated that the ability of shoots to absorb nutrients increased with the gradual increase in nutrients in water column. These findings imply that the large specific surface area of shoots is beneficial for restoring eutrophic waters.

Abstract
Nickel is a ubiquitous heavy-metal pollutant in lakes and severely affects aquatic organisms. Aquatic plants are often initially linked to having heavy metal contents and further are proposed as phytoremediation agent to remove heavy metal from water. Although the toxic effects of nickel on aquatic plants are thoroughly explored, the effective investigation to increase Ni tolerance is still in its infancy. The role of rare-earth elements (REEs) in plant resisting heavy-metal pollution has recently received considerable interest. To explore the physiological effects of REEs on Potamogeton crispus under Ni stress, we explored whether or not the additive exposure to low-dose yttrium (Y; 2.5 μM) promotes the polyamine metabolism, antioxidation, and photosynthesis performance of P. crispus under Ni stress values of 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μM. Results showed that Y exposure did not influence Ni bioaccumulation in P. crispus. Furthermore, Y exposure alleviated the adverse effects of Ni stress to convergent degrees because Y positively converts putrescine into spermidine and spermine, inhibits oxidative stress, increases the total chlorophyll content, and maximum/potential quantum efficiency of photosystem II. We concluded that low-dose Y can positively regulate polyamine transformation, inhibit oxidative stress, stimulate photosynthesis, and finally promote the resist ability of P. crispus to nickel stress. Thus, REEs have potential to be applied in regulating submerged plant tolerance to aquatic heavy-metal pollution.

Abstract
Aquatic macrophytes play a significant role in the nutrient cycle of freshwater ecosystems. However, nutrients from plant debris release into both sediments and overlying water if not timely harvested. To date, minimal information is available regarding nutrient release and its subsequent influences on bacterial communities with decaying debris. In this study, Potamogeton crispus was used as a model plant. Debris biomass levels of 0 g (control, J-CK), 10 g dry weight (DW) (100 g DW/m2, J-10 g), 40 g DW (400 g DW/m2, J-40 g) and 80 g DW (800 g DW/m2, J-80 g) were used to simulate the different biomass densities of P. crispus in field. The physicochemical parameters of overlying water and sediment samples were analysed. The community composition of anammox bacteria in the sediment was also analysed using 16S rRNA genes as markers. The results showed that dissolved oxygen and pH dramatically decreased, whereas total nitrogen (TN) and NH4+-N concentrations increased in the overlying water in the initial stage of P. crispus decomposition. However, NO3--N concentration changes in the overlying water were more complicated. The concentrations of organic matter, TN and NH4+-N in the sediment all increased, but the rate of increase varied among the groups with different initial biomass levels, indicating that these physicochemical properties in sediment are significantly affected by debris biomass level and decay time. In addition, the order of anammox bacteria abundance was J-40 g > J-CK > J-80 g > J-10 g. Moreover, the community structure of anammox bacteria were simpler compared to that of J-CK as debris biomass level increased. The results demonstrate that P. crispus debris decomposition could affect the ecological distribution of anammox bacteria. Such influence clearly varies with varying amounts of P. crispus biomass debris. This information could be useful for the management of aquatic macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems.

Abstract
Oxygen availability in water is considered one of the most important factors for growth and productivity in aquatic submerged macrophytes. In the present study, the growth, stress responses, and metabolic changes in Potamogeton anguillanus Koidz. (Potamogetonaceae) were assessed after a 21-day exposure to low (hypoxia; dissolved oxygen, DO < 1 mg/L) or null (anoxia) oxygen concentrations in water. High growth rates and an increased indole acetic acid (IAA) content in P. anguillanus were observed under the hypoxic conditions (4-fold to control) compared to the anoxic conditions. In addition, the activation of glycolysis and fermentation processes was further recorded, given the increase in alcohol dehydrogenase activity and pyruvate concentration on the studied plants that were exposed to low oxygen concentrations. Moreover, the positive correlations of antioxidative enzyme activities, catalase (CAT) and guaiacol peroxidase (POD) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) confirmed the species ability to scavenge excess H2O2 under low oxygen stress. The capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) analysis of the metabolome identified metabolite accumulations (e.g., glutamate, glutamine, aspartate, asparagine, valine, malate, lactate, citrate, isocitrate, proline and γ-amino butyric acid) in response to the anoxia.

Abstract
Aquatic plants play an important role in maintaining the health of water environment in nature. Studies have shown that linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), a type of omnipresent pollutant, can cause toxic damage to aquatic plants. In the present research, we studied the physiological and growth response of submerged plant Potamogeton perfoliatus L. to different concentrations of LAS (0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 50.0 mg l-1). The results showed that LAS is toxic to P. perfoliatus, and the toxicity is dose-dependent. Only slightly reversible oxidative damages were observed in the physiological parameters of P. perfoliatus when P. perfoliatus was exposed to lower LAS doses (< 10 mg l-1): soluble sugar, soluble protein, H2O2, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in P. perfoliatus increased significantly at 0.1 mg l-1 and then returned to normal levels at 1.0 mg l-1. Antioxidant enzymes were activated before the LAS concentration reached 10 mg l-1, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and photosynthesis pigment content declined significantly when the concentration of LAS exceeded 10 mg l-1. In addition, at higher concentrations (20-50 mg l-1) of LAS, dry weight and fresh weight of P. perfoliatus showed significant declines. The results indicate that LAS above 10 mg l-1 can cause serious physiological and growth damage to P. perfoliatus.

Abstract
This study investigated the ability of Potamogeton pectinatus L. to accumulate copper and its effects on plants. In accumulation tests, macrophytes were exposed (96 h) to different copper concentrations (0-1000 µM) and the metal was measured in media and plant tissues (roots, stems and leaves) to determine the bioconcentration factor (BCF). Plants accumulated high concentrations of copper in a dose-dependent manner and roots was the main organ for copper accumulation. However, the more copper increased in water, the more BCF values decreased. It may be due to either saturation of copper uptake or down-regulation of metal uptake by plants. In the physiological and morphological analyses, plants were kept (96 h) in Hoagland nutrient solution without copper, in full Hoagland solution (0.5 µM Cu) and in Hoagland medium with copper from 1 to 100 µM. The absence and the presence of copper above to 1 µM inhibited photosynthesis. Chlorophylls and carotenoid levels also decreased with the excess of copper, a fact that may have affected the photosystem II-dependent of chlorophyll and caused photosynthesis suppression. Only macrophytes at 10 µM Cu showed decrease in length and number of leaves on the 10th day of the test, when they died. Chlorosis and necrosis were observed in control groups and groups with extra copper, but not in Hoalgand group. Overall, the macrophyte P. pectinatus can be considered a suitable plant for monitoring environments contaminated by copper, based on results of copper accumulation in the plant, decrease in pigment concentration and presence of chlorosis and necrosis. However, values of BCF based on fresh water tissues was not proper to indicate the use of P. pectinatus for cleaning environments contaminated by copper.

Abstract
Organic contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs) and other emerging contaminants (ECs) are known to persist in the aquatic environment and many are indicated as endocrine, epigenetic, or other toxicants. Typically, the study of PPCPs/ECs in the aquatic environment is limited to their occurrence dissolved in river water. In this study, accumulation and spatial distribution of thirteen PPCPs/ECs were assessed in aquatic sediment (n = 23), periphyton (biofilm, n = 8), plants Callitriche sp. (n = 8) and Potamogeton sp. (n = 7) as well as amphipod crustaceans (Gammarus pulex, n = 10) and aquatic snails (Bithynia tentaculata, n = 9). All samples (n = 65) were collected from the Hogsmill, Blackwater and Bourne Rivers in southern England. Targeted PPCPs/ECs included pharmaceuticals, plasticisers, perfluorinated compounds, illicit drugs and metabolites. Extraction from solid matrices occurred using ultrasonic-assisted extraction followed by an in-house validated method for solid-phase extraction and subsequent liquid-chromatography tandem mass-spectrometry. Field-derived bioconcentration-factors and biota-sediment accumulation-factors were determined for all studied biota. Residues of studied contaminants were found in all sediment and biota. Concentrations of contaminants were generally higher in biota than sediment. Evidence suggests that the studied aquatic plants may effectively degrade bisphenol-A into its main transformation product hydroxyacetophenone, potentially mediated by cytochrome p450 and internalisation of contaminants into the cellular vacuole. A positive association between both hydrophobicity and PFC chain length and contaminant accumulation was observed in this work. Only PFCs, plasticisers and HAP were classified as either 'bioaccumulative' or 'very bioaccumulative' using BCF criteria established by guidelines of four governments. Contaminants appeared to be differentially bioaccumulative in biota, indicating there may be a need for a species-specific BCF/BSAF classification system. These data form a detailed accounting of PPCP/EC fate and distribution in the aquatic environment highlighting accumulation at lower trophic levels, a potential source for higher organisms.

Abstract
In order to clarify the effect of Potamogeton crispus L. (P. crispus) on bioavailability and biodegradation activity of pyrene in aged and unaged sediments, model calculation based on experimental results was carried out. During a 36-day experiment, the dissipation ratio of pyrene was increased by planting but decreased by aging. P. crispus improved the dissipation more significantly in aged sediments (45.9%) than in unaged sediments (17.6%). Results derived from a two-compartment desorption model showed that the decrease of rapidly desorbing fraction of pyrene was in the order of aged sediments without plant (A)>unaged sediments without plant (U)>unaged sediments with plant (UP)>aged sediments with plant (AP). Moreover, the results of biodegradation kinetic model showed that the first-order biodegradation coefficient was in the order of AP>UP>U and A, which was consistent with that of sediment redox potential. These modeling results indicated that planting could enhance the bioavailability (73.9%) and biodegradation activity (277%) of pyrene more significantly in aged sediments as compared to unaged sediments (13.1% and 150%, respectively), which should be the key reasons leading to more significant dissipation increment of pyrene in aged sediments by P. crispus.

Abstract
Curly-leaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus) was utilized as the representative to investigate the biodecomposition process of aquatic plants under different reducible conditions. Results showed that the methane production was inhibited when different electron acceptors (Fe(III), <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="02257-ilm01.gif"/> and <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="02257-ilm09.gif"/>) were available. The methane production was decreased by 57% when Fe(III) and <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="02257-ilm10.gif"/> or <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="02257-ilm11.gif"/> were both available compared to the control. The degradation efficiency of hemicellulose and lignin with Fe(III) and <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="02257-ilm12.gif"/> were increased significantly. This provided a theoretical basis for slowing down the emissions of methane.

Abstract
Knowledge on the dynamics and the durability of the processes governing the mitigation of pesticide loads by aquatic vegetation in vegetated streams, which are characterized by dynamic discharge regimes and short chemical residence times, is scarce. In a static long-term experiment (48 h), the dissipation of five pesticides from the aqueous phase followed a biphasic pattern in the presence of aquatic macrophytes. A dynamic concentration decrease driven by sorption to the macrophytes ranged from 8.3 to 60.4% for isoproturon and bifenox, respectively, within the first 2 h of exposure. While the aqueous concentrations of imidacloprid, isoproturon, and tebufenozide remained constant thereafter, the continuous but decelerated concentration decrease of difenoconazole and bifenox in the water-macrophyte systems used here was assumed to be attributed to macrophyte-induced degradation processes. In addition, a semi-static short-term experiment was conducted, where macrophytes were transferred to uncontaminated medium after 2 h of exposure to simulate a transient pesticide peak. In the first part of the experiment, adsorption to macrophytes resulted in partitioning coefficients (logK D_Adsorp) ranging from 0.2 for imidacloprid to 2.2 for bifenox. One hour after the macrophytes were transferred to the uncontaminated medium, desorption of the compounds from the macrophytes resulted in a new phase equilibrium and K D_Desorp values of 1.46 for difenoconazole and 1.95 for bifenox were determined. A correlation analysis revealed the best match between the compound affinity to adsorb to macrophytes (expressed as K D_Adsorp) and their soil organic carbon-water partitioning coefficient (K OC) compared to their octanol-water partitioning coefficient (K OW) or a mathematically derived partitioning coefficient.

Abstract
In this study, the remedial effects of submerged macrophyte Potamogeton crispus L. on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sediments were investigated. After a 54-day experiment, the dissipation ratios of phenanthrene and pyrene were 84.8-88.3 and 72.4-78.5% in rhizosphere sediments, which were significantly higher than those in non-rhizosphere sediments (54.2-66.6 and 54.7-58.5%). The dissipation increment increased not only with increasing spiked concentration, but also over time, while plant uptake accounted for only a small portion (<6%) of the dissipation increment. Moreover, bioavailable fraction tests revealed that biodegradation was not controlled by the amount of bioavailable PAHs. For better understanding of the microbial mechanism involved, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles were analyzed. Biomass of microorganisms indicated by the total PLFA content was higher in rhizosphere sediments than in non-rhizosphere sediments and was related well to the dissipation ratios of the two PAHs. Cluster analysis showed that community structure significantly changed in rhizosphere sediments. Moreover, the increments of PAH dissipation in rhizosphere sediments had a strong positive correlation with those of polyphenol oxidase activities in the same media. It can be concluded that the enhanced remediation of PAHs by P. crispus was mainly due to the increase of microbial biomass and activity as well as changes of microbial community structure in sediments as a result of plant growth stimulation.

Abstract
The effects of increasing concentrations of lead (Pb) on malondialdehyde (MDA) content, soluble protein, Pb accumulation, nutrients, polyamines (PAs) and proline metabolism were investigated in sterilized seedlings of Potamogeton crispus L. after 5d exposure. Significant oxidative stress was not caused, indicated by a little induction of MDA content and soluble proteins. Pb accumulation increased in a concentration-dependent manner and most of Pb was stored in the cell wall. Total P, Mg, Na and Zn rose and total Fe fell; total Ca increased at 25 μM Pb but then declined. The nutrients in cell wall fraction changed in the same pattern as total nutrients, whereas those in soluble and organelle fraction declined. Total putrescine (Put) decreased markedly, while total spermidine (Spd), spermine (Spm) and (Spd+Spm)/Put ratio increased progressively but then declined. The trends for free, perchloric acid soluble conjugated (PS-conjugated) and perchloric acid insoluble bound (PIS-bound) PAs were similar to those on total PAs, except that PIS-bound Spm increased significantly. Arginine decarboxylase (ADC) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activities rose gradually, while diamine oxidase (DAO) initially increased but then declined. Proline content increased initially only to decline later, due to the increase of r-glutamyl kinase (GK) activity. Meanwhile, ornithine-d-aminotransferase (OAT) activity gradually reduced, while no significant change was observed in proline dehydrogenase (PDH) activity. Our results indicated that the tolerance of P. crispus to Pb stress was based on cell wall compartmentalization combined with increase of nutrients, alterations of PAs, and induction of proline.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of submerged macrophyte-bacteria interactions on the removal of phthalic acid esters from surface water, experiments with and without Potamogeton crispus L. were performed. A two-compartment (i.e., water and plant) kinetic model was developed. The model adequately described the variation of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) in the plant-water system by providing the first-order rate constants of plant uptake (k1) and release (k2), microbial degradation in water (k3) and plant degradation (k4). During 10-d incubation, the presence of P. crispus enhanced the removal of DBP and DEHP from water by 6.3% and 22.4%. Compared with the experiment without P. crispus, biodegradation of DBP in water with P. crispus decreased by 8.3% because of plant uptake even though k3 increased by 30%. 21.4% of DBP transferred from water to plants, of which only small amount (5.1%) retained in the plant and the rest (94.9%) was degraded. Different from DBP, biodegradation of DEHP in water with P. crispus was a slightly higher than that without P. crispus. 25.5% of DEHP transferred from water to plants, of which a large portion (73.3%) retained in the plant and the rest (26.7%) was degraded. This finding reveals that the enhancement of DBP removal from surface water is mainly related to faster degradation in the plant, whereas it is mainly related to higher plant accumulation for DEHP.

Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the effects of periphyton on the microprofiles of oxygen (O2), pH, and oxidation-reduction potential around the stems and leaves of a submerged macrophyte Potamogeton malaianus and on the plant growth in the eutrophic shallow Taihu Lake, China. The microprofiles were measured using a motorized microprofiling system equipped with microsensors. The leaf age of the macrophyte and periphyton exerted significant effects on the microprofiles of O2, pH, and oxidation-reduction potential. O2 concentration and pH increased whereas the oxidation-reduction potential decreased with decreasing distance to the stem/leaf surface. The fluctuation amplitudes of O2, pH, and oxidation-reduction potential were the largest in the microprofiles of mature leaves and the lowest in senescent leaves. The periphyton increased the thickness of the broad diffusive boundary layer and fluctuation amplitudes of O2, pH, and oxidation-reduction potential. When the periphyton was removed, the thickness of the broad diffusive boundary layer in the microprofiles of stems, senescent leaves, and mature leaves reduced by 29.0%, 49.72%, and 70.34%, and the O2, pH, and oxidation-reduction potential fluctuation amplitudes also declined accordingly. Our results suggest that a thick periphyton exerted negative effects on the growth of macrophytes by providing extensive shading and creating a barrier that hindered the transport of dissolved substances such as O2, and led to premature decline in macrophytes in the eutrophic Taihu Lake. The consequent implications can help to elucidate the control mechanism of the broad diffusive boundary layer around macrophytes on nutrient cycling in eutrophic waters and to better understand the role of this layer in the Taihu Lake and other similar eutrophic waters.

Abstract
The uptake of Se(IV) by Myriophyllum spicatum, Ceratophyllum demersum and Potamogeton perfoliatus, and the effects of Se(IV) on their physiological and biochemical characteristics were studied. Plants were cultivated outdoors under semi-controlled conditions in water solution containing Na selenite (20 μg Se L(-1) and 10 mg Se L(-1)). The higher concentration of Se lowered the photochemical efficiency of PSII in all species studied, while the lower concentration had no effect on any species. The higher concentration of Se lowered respiratory potential in M. spicatum. The response of M. spicatum and C. demersum to Se(IV) regarding chlorophylls was variable, however in the majority of cases, there was a trend of increasing the amount of chlorophylls, while in P. perfoliatus the amount of chlorophyll a decreased. The concentration of Se in plants cultured in 10 mg Se(IV) L(-1) ranged from 436 to 839 μg Se g(-1) DM in M. spicatum, 319 to 988 μg Se g(-1) DM in C. demersum and 310 to 661 μg Se g(-1) DM in P. perfoliatus. The amount of soluble Se compounds in enzyme extracts of high Se treatment was 27% in M. spicatum, 41% in C. demersum and 35% in P. perfoliatus. Se compounds were determined using HPLC-ICP-MS. It was observed that the applied Se(IV) was mainly transformed to insoluble Se.

Abstract
The submerged macrophyte Potamogeton crispus L. was subjected to varying doses of cadmium (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 μM) for 7 d, and the plants were analyzed for subcellular distribution of Cd, accumulation of mineral nutrients, photosynthesis, oxidative stress, protein content, and ultrastructural distribution of calcium (Ca). Leaf fractionation by differential centrifugation indicated that 48-69% of Cd was accumulated in the cell wall. At all doses of Cd, the levels of Ca and B rose and the level of Mn fell; the levels of Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu, Mo, and P rose initially only to decline later. Exposure to Cd caused oxidative stress as evident by increased content of malondialdehyde and decreased contents of chlorophyll and protein. Photosynthetic efficiency, as indicated by the quenching of chlorophyll a fluorescence (Fv/Fm, Fo and Fm), decreased significantly, the extent of decrease being directly proportional to the concentration of Cd. Increased amounts of precipitates of calcium were noticed in the treated plants, located either outside the cell membrane or in chloroplasts, mitochondria, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm whereas control plants showed small deposits of the precipitates around surface of the vacuole membrane and in the intercellular space but rarely in the cytoplasm. Photosynthetic efficiency and oxidative stress could be used as indicators of physiological end-points in determining the extent of Cd phytotoxicity.

Abstract
Studies were conducted on the bioconcentration of fluoride (F(-)) in five submerged plants species. Ceratophyllum demersum, Hydrilla verticillata, Potamogeton malaianus, Myriophyllum verticillatum and Elodea nuttallii were all able to remove F(-) from water to some degree of efficiencies. At 5-20 mg F(-)/L culture solution, C. demersum had the best F(-)-removal performance, E. nuttallii had the poorest F(-)-removal performance among these plants. The relative growth rate (RGR) of the five species varied in different concentrations of F(-), of which C. demersum had the highest RGR. Its RGR decreased by 26.3 %, 63.2 % and 73.7 % from controls at 5, 10 and 20 mg F/L, respectively.

Abstract
To study the effects of submerged hydrophytes on the fate of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylexyl phthalate (DEHP) in the aquatic environment, a Potamogeton crispus L. (P. crispus) microcosm was constructed. A four-compartment (i.e., water, plant, non-rhizosphere and rhizosphere sediments) level IV fugacity model was established and applied to the simulation experiments in the microcosm. Data obtained from model calculations were in good agreement with those from the experiments. Results of the model calculations showed that the total residues of DBP and DEHP in the microcosm with P. crispus were 39.7% and 19.8% lower than those in the microcosm without P. crispus. The overall biodegradation fluxes of DBP and DEHP in the microcosm with P. crispus increased by 4.7% and 12.3%, respectively, and meanwhile, advective outflow decreased. In the presence of P. crispus, a large fraction of loaded DBP and DEHP (17.7% and 29.0%) transferred to plants, and then to the rhizosphere. 4.8% and 28.0% of loaded DBP and DEHP were removed by biodegradation in P. crispus, and the remaining 12.9% and 1.0% were by biodegradation in rhizosphere sediment which was 3.6% of the total sediment. This finding demonstrates that P. crispus can substantially reduce the accumulation of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in the experiment system and enhance the removal of PAEs. The enhancement of PAE removal is related to the biodegradation of PAEs in P. crispus, especially for the more hydrophobic DEHP. For the less hydrophobic DBP, biodegradation in the rhizosphere also plays a key role. In addition to nutrient uptake from sediment, transport process between P. crispus and the rhizosphere has also a significant influence on the distribution and fate of PAEs in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
The aquatic macrophyte, Potamogeton pusillus was evaluated for the removal of Cu(2+) and Cr(+6) from aqueous solutions during 15 days phytoextraction experiments. Results show that P. pusillus is capable of accumulating substantial amount of Cu and Cr from individual solutions (either Cu(2+) or Cr(+6)). Significant correlations between metal removal and bioaccumulation were obtained. Roots and leaves accumulated the highest amount of Cu and Cr followed by stems. The bioaccumulation of Cr was significantly enhanced in the presence of Cu, showing a synergic effect on Cr(+6) removal, presenting a good alternative for the removal of these metals from polluted aquifers. To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first report on both enhanced phytoextraction of Cr(+6) in presence of Cu(+2) and bioaccumulation of these heavy metals by P. pusillus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Molecular-based studies of thermotolerance have rarely been performed on wild plants, although this trait is critical for summer survival. Here, we focused on thermotolerance and expression of heat shock transcription factor A2 (HSFA2) and its putative target gene (chloroplast-localized small heat shock protein, CP-sHSP) in two allied aquatic species of the genus Potamogeton (pondweeds) that differ in survival on land. METHODS The degree of thermotolerance was examined using a chlorophyll bioassay to assess heat injury in plants cultivated under non- and heat-acclimation conditions. Potamogeton HSFA2 and CP-sHSP genes were identified and their heat-induction was quantified by real-time PCR. KEY RESULTS The inhibition of chlorophyll accumulation after heat stress showed that Potamogeton malaianus had a higher basal thermotolerance and developed acquired thermotolerance, whereas Potamogeton perfoliatus was heat sensitive and unable to acquire thermotolerance. We found two duplicated HSFA2 and CP-sHSP genes in each species. These genes were induced by heat shock in P. malaianus, while one HSFA2a gene was not induced in P. perfoliatus. In non-heat-acclimated plants, transcript levels of HSFA2 and CP-sHSP were transiently elevated after heat shock. In heat-acclimated plants, transcripts were continuously induced during sublethal heat shock in P. malaianus, but not in P. perfoliatus. Instead, the minimum threshold temperature for heat induction of the CP-sHSP genes was elevated in P. perfoliatus. CONCLUSIONS Our comparative study of thermotolerance showed that heat acclimation leads to species-specific changes in heat response. The development of acquired thermotolerance is beneficial for survival at extreme temperatures. However, the loss of acquired thermotolerance and plasticity in the minimum threshold temperature of heat response may be favourable for plants growing in moderate habitats with limited daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Abstract
In order to study the process of phosphorus transfer between sediment and overlying water, Hydrilla verticillata and Vallisneria natans were cultured in spring, Potamogeton crispus was cultured in winter. Changes of environmental factors and phosphorus concentrations in water and sediment were investigated. The results indicated that: submerged macrophytes could reduce all phosphorus fractions in the overlying water. Phosphorus concentrations in overlying water maintained in a relative low level in the growth period of submerged macrophytes. The concentrations of total phosphorus (TP) in overlying water of H. verticillata, V. natans and P. crispus were 0.03-0.05, 0.04-0.12, 0.02-0.11 mg x L(-1), respectively. All phosphorus fractions in sediment were reduced. The maximum value between submerged macrophyte and control of H. verticillata, V. natans and P. crispus were 35.34, 60.67 and 25.92 mg x kg(-1), respectively. Dissolved oxygen (DO), redox potential (Eh) and pH in overlying water increased (DO 10.0-14.0 mg x L(-1), Eh 185-240 mV, pH 8.0-11.0) in the submerged macrophytes groups. Submerged macrophytes increased Eh( -140 - -23 mV) and maintained pH(7.2-8.0) in neutral range. The results indicated that submerged macrophytes affected phosphorus transferring between sediment and overlying water through increasing DO, Eh and pH in overlying water, and Eh in sediment.

Abstract
Taking the water, sediment, and Potamogeton crispus collected from Shihoudian, Wangjiazhai, and Xiaodian in Baiyangdian Lake area into laboratory, three simulated static systems were built to study the growth of P. crispus and its effect on the removal of total phosphorus from eutrophic water and sediment. Among the three systems, Shihoudian system had the best purification effect, with the removal efficiency of total phosphorus from water body being 87.9%, followed by Wangjiazhai system 47.4%, and Xiaodian system 76.9%. The largest total phosphorus removal efficiency per gram biomass in Shihoudian, Wangjiazhai, and Xiaodian systems was 2.2%, 0.9%, and 1.4%, and the largest total phosphorus adsorption rate of sediments was 9.1%, 7.4%, and 7.7%, respectively. The TP-t and v-t fitted equations of the three systems indicated that the total phosphorus concentration in water and the removal rate of the total phosphorus were negatively exponentially decreased with time.

Abstract
Potamogeton malaianus Miq. is one of the dominant species of submerged aquatic vegetations in Lake Taihu, China. The decomposition of its debris and metabolic detritus is an important part of nutrients cycling in the lake water. Nitrogen and phosphorus transfer model in P. malaianus Miq. decomposition has been set up based on an indoor P. malaianus Miq. decomposition experiment to quantitatively characterize the decomposition process. It mainly focuses on the dissolving process of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus in P. malaianus Miq., the degradation process of its organic nitrogen and phosphorus, and the boundary's adsorbing process of nitrogen and phosphorus in water. There are eight state variables in the model, including inorganic and organic nitrogen in P. malaianus Miq., inorganic and organic phosphorus in P. malaianus Miq., total nitrogen and total phosphorus in water, and nitrogen and phosphorus adsorbed on container boundary. The model calibration showed a good accordance with the observed results of P. malaianus Miq. decomposition experiment. The dissolve rates of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus in P. malaianus Miq. are 0.04 d(-1) and 0.06 d(-1) respectively. And the decompose rates of these two state variables are 0.005 25 d(-1) and 0.010 44 d(-1) respectively. Model outputs show that 6.7% nitrogen and 35.8% phosphorus can release from P. malaianus Miq. in the former 5 days. Phosphorus release is prior to nitrogen due to the bigger inorganic/organic ratio of phosphorus than that of nitrogen in P. malaianus Miq., Decomposition of P. malaianus Miq. could be affected by water temperature, and the affection is slight when water temperature is lower according to the model. The model also showed that P. malaianus Miq. decomposition process has influences on water quality in the former days, which can be eliminated by adsorbing process later.

Abstract
This study was conducted in Haihe River, China, in order to assess the ability of Potamogeton crispus L. (P. crispus), a submerged plant, to accumulate phthalic acid esters (PAEs). Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylexyl phthalate (DEHP) were measured in samples of water, sediment and P. crispus plant from March to May 2008. The results showed that the highest levels of DBP and DEHP in above-ground tissues appeared during the blooming period of P. crispus, which was consistent with the results obtained with the water samples. Regression analysis reveals that concentrations of PAEs in above-ground tissues were mainly influenced by PAE concentrations in the water of Haihe River. Enrichment of DBP and DEHP in above-ground tissues was observed, with bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of 4.82-83.65Lkg(-1) for DBP and 6.71-93.70Lkg(-1) for DEHP. The distribution pattern of DBP in roots, surface and near root sediments was different from that of DEHP. Concentrations of DBP in near root sediments were lower than those in roots and comparable to those in surface sediments, while concentrations of DEHP in roots were lower than those in near root sediments but higher than those in surface sediments.

Abstract
An outdoor culture experiment was conducted to study the growth and nutrient contents of submerged macrophyte Potamogeton malaianus in Taihu Lake under different CO2 concentrations. As affected by elevated CO2 concentration (1000 micromol x mol(-1)), the biomass per plant increased by 44.3% (P < 0.01), but the shoot biomass decreased by 5.5% (P < 0.05). The N content in root and leaf decreased by 18.1% (P < 0.05) and 6.4% (P < 0.05), respectively, but that in stem was less affected (P > 0.05). The P content in root, shoot, and leaf increased by 22.2% (P < 0.05), 26.6% (P > 0.05) and 38.8% (P < 0.05) , soluble sugar content increased by 27.3%, 18.3% and 37.5% (P < 0.05), and total C content increased by 4.6%, 5.3% and 2.0%, respectively. Elevated CO2 concentration decreased the N and P concentrations in water body by 7.9% and 5.1% (P < 0.05), respectively, but had less effects on the N and P contents in sediment. It was suggested that elevated CO2 concentration had definite effects on the growth and habitat of submerged macrophytes.

Abstract
The concentration of trace elements was studied in different parts of the submersed species Najas marina and Potamogeton lucens and in floating-leaved species Nuphar lutea and Potamogeton nodosus, and also in the corresponding samples of water and sediment in the artificial lake Velenjsko jezero, where the large amount of ash from lignite coal (about 15 million tons) is deposited at the bottom. The concentration of trace elements in water was mainly below the detection limit. In sediment only the concentration of As was found to be above the average European background concentration. It also showed the highest degree of translocation from sediment into plant roots, but its mobility to above-ground plant parts was negligible. The submersed species N. marina and P. lucens exhibited similar concentrations of trace elements in their organs. Of the floating-leaved species, the lowest concentrations of trace elements were found in N. lutea and the largest in P. nodosus. Significantly higher concentrations of As, Ni, Pb and Cr were shown in roots of N. marina, P. lucens and P. nodosus than in their stems and leaves, whereas Cu and Zn were equally distributed throughout all their organs. Cr and Ni also showed relatively high mobility from roots to upper parts of N. lutea.

Abstract
In this study, cadmium biosorption by Myriophyllum heterophyllum Michx. and Potamogeton crispus L. was investigated. Although both species were found to be capable of removing cadmium from water, the performance of P. crispus was the most significant. These species were treated with 0, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 mg L(-1) cadmium solutions for 24, 48, 72, and 96 h, respectively. Cadmium uptake of both species was lowest at 4 mg L(-1 )and highest at 64 mg L(-1). Photosynthetic pigments and total phenolic compounds in both species were determined after exposure to various concentrations of cadmium for various times. Depending on the cadmium accumulation in both species, it was shown to decrease the level of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids (24 and 96 h). The anthocyanin concentration in P. crispus increased at all cadmium concentrations studied (0, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 mg L(-1)), whereas in Myriophyllum heterophyllum it increased at the lower cadmium concentrations (0, 4, and 8 mg L(-1)) but decreased at higher cadmium concentrations (16, 32, and 64 mg L(-1)), for all exposure periods. The total phenolic compound level in both species increased with cadmium concentration during the 24 and 96 h exposure periods.

Abstract
The concentrations of heavy metals in the leaves of two aquatic plants Potamogeton pectinatus L. and Potamogeton malaianus Miq., and the corresponding water and sediment samples from the Donghe River in Jishou City of Hunan Province, China were studied to investigate metal contamination from the intensive industrial activities in the surrounding area. Results showed that the concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments, especially Cd, Mn and Pb, were much higher than the eco-toxic threshold values developed by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Between the two plant species, P. pectinatus showed the higher capacity in metal accumulation. The highest concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn and Mn were found in the leaves of P. pectinatus, reaching 596, 318, 62.4, 6590 and 16,000 mg kg(-1) (DW), respectively. Significantly positive relationships were observed among the concentrations of Zn, Cu and Mn in the leaves of both aquatic plants and those in water, indicating the potential use of the two plants for pollution monitoring of these metals. In addition, a laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the ability of P. pectinatus and P. malaianus to remove heavy metals from contaminated river water. The average removal efficiencies by P. pectinatus and P. malaianus for Cd, Pb, Mn, Zn and Cu from the spiked Donghe River water were 92%, 79%, 86%, 67% and 70%, respectively. The results indicated that P. pectinatus and P. malaianus had high capabilities to remove heavy metals directly from the contaminated water. The potential use of these plants in wastewater treatment is worth further exploration.

Abstract
Pondweed (Potamogeton distinctus A. Benn.), a monocot aquatic plant species, has turions, which are overwintering buds forming underground as an asexual reproductive organ. Turions not only survive for more than one month but also elongate under strict anoxia, maintaining high-energy charge by activation of fermentation. We cloned 82 cDNA fragments of genes, that are up-regulated during anoxic growth of pondweed turions, by suppression subtractive hybridization. The transcript levels of 44 genes were confirmed to be higher under anoxia than those in air by both Northern blot analysis and a semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. A homology search for their nucleotide sequences revealed that some of them are highly homologous to known sequences of genes from other plants. They included alcohol dehydrogenase, pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), vacuolar H(+)-translocating pyrophosphatase and a plasma membrane intrinsic protein. Time courses of transcript accumulation of some genes under anoxia were different from those in air. The activity of PDC increased under anoxic conditions but the activities of GAPDH and pyrophosphatase remained constant after anoxic treatment. Anoxically up-regulated genes are possibly involved in physiological events to control energy production, pH regulation and cell growth under anoxia. These results suggest that transcriptional regulation of these genes serves as an essential part of survival and growth of pondweed turions under anoxia.

Abstract
In this study, submerged aquatic plant Potamogeton lucens, corresponding sediment and water samples were seasonally collected from Lake Sapanca (Turkey) and analysed for their heavy metal contents (Pb, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn and Cd). While heavy metals concentrations in the water samples were decreased as Zn>Cr>Ni>Pb>Mn>Cu>Cd, in sediment samples were Mn>Zn>Ni>Cu>Cr>Pb>Cd, respectively. Generally, heavy metals concentrations in the plant tissues were decreased in sequence of Mn>Zn>Cu>Ni>Cr>Pb>Cd. It was determined that Cu, Mn and Zn were actively transported to the root, where they were accumulated especially in autumn. Lower accumulation factor ratios were seen in spring than other seasons. Cd exhibited a relatively clear pattern of increasing accumulation in P. lucens with increasing sediment metal concentrations. Significant positive correlations were observed between Cr, Cu, Ni and Cd contents in sediment and Cd contents in root of P. lucens. The investigations suggested that Ni and Mn have a tendency to be accumulated in leaf especially in autumn and Cr and Cd to be accumulated in shoot especially in summer.

Abstract
A better understanding of metal uptake and translocation by aquatic plants can be used to enhance the performance of constructed wetland systems for stormwater treatment. Specifically, this study examines whether the uptake of Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb by Potamogeton natans is via the leaves, stems, or roots, and whether there is translocation from organs of uptake to other plant parts. Competition between the metals at uptake and at the level of the cell wall-bound part of the metals accumulated in stem and leaf tissue was also examined. The results show that Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb were taken up by the leaves, stems, and roots, with the highest accumulation found in the roots. At the elevated metal concentrations common in stormwater the uptake of Cu, but not of Zn, Cd, or Pb, by the roots was somewhat limited at uptake due to competition with other metals. Between 24% and 59% of the metal content was bound to the cell walls of the plant. Except in the case of Pb, the cell wall-bound fraction was generally smaller in stems than in leaves. No translocation of the metals to other parts of the plant was found, except for Cd which was translocated from leaf to stem and vice versa. Dispersion of metals from sediment to water through P. natans is therefore unlikely.

Abstract
Four mesocosms were exposed to circumneutral and aluminum (Al)-rich wastewater during two successive summers (2000, 2001). The goals of the study were to measure the bioaccumulation of dissolved Al by the aquatic plants Typha latifolia, Lemna minor, Nuphar variegatum and Potamogeton epihydrus, and to evaluate their importance in the retention of Al by the mesocosms. In 2000, inlet concentrations of total monomeric Al were reduced by 56% and 29% at the Arvida and Laterrière mesocosms, respectively, whereas in 2001 inlet dissolved Al concentrations in the inlet decreased by 40% and 33%. L. minor had the highest Al uptake rate (0.8--17 mg Al g(-1)d(-1)). However, because T. latifolia (cattails) yielded the highest biomass, it was responsible for 99% of the Al uptake, largely in its root tissue. In 2001, Al uptake by macrophytes accounted for 2--4% and 15--54% of the total Al retained by the Laterrière and Arvida mesocosms, respectively. In the Laterrière mesocosms, Al uptake by cattails could account for 12% and 18% of the dissolved Al retained by both mesocosms. In contrast, dissolved Al was not significantly reduced in the Arvida enclosures, yet cattails did accumulate Al in their roots. Further research is needed to identify the species community composition that would optimize dissolved Al retention.

Abstract
Submersed plants can be useful in reducing heavy metal concentrations in stormwater, since they can accumulate large amounts of heavy metals in their shoots. To investigate the effects of water temperature and salinity on the metal uptake of two submersed plant species, Elodea canadensis (Michx.) and Potamogeton natans (L.), these plants were grown in the presence of Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb at 5, 11, and 20 degrees C in combination with salinities of 0, 0.5, and 5 per thousand. The metal concentrations in the plant tissue increased with increasing temperature in both species; the exception was the concentration of Pb in Elodea, which increased with decreasing salinity. Metal concentrations at high temperature or low salinity were up to twice those found at low temperature or high salinity. Plant biomass affected the metal uptake, with low biomass plants having higher metal concentrations than did high biomass plants.

Abstract
Concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn and Cu) were measured in bottom sediments, water and Typha angustifolia and Potamogeton pectinatus in Sultan Marsh. Sultan Marsh is one of the largest and most important wetlands in Turkey, Middle East and Europe, embodying saline and fresh water ecosystems and providing a shelter for 426 bird species. The organs of T. angustifolia have a larger quantity of the measured elements than the P. pectinatus. Considerably higher contents of Cd were found rather than in helophytes (P. pectinatus) in submerged plant (= emergent, T. angustifolia) species. The percentage of Cd in plant tissues points to a certain degree of water pollution in Sultan Mash. Analyses of water, bottom sediments and plant samples indicated that the Marsh were polluted with Pb, Cd, and partly with Cu and Zn. All sampling sites in the study area basin are generally more or less polluted when compared with the control values. Strong positive correlation was found between concentrations of Pb in water and in plants. Ni and Pb were accumulated by plants at a higher rate from bottom sediments than from water. Leaves of T. angustifolia accumulated less heavy metal than the corresponding roots. There was a significant relationship between Cd concentration in samples of plants and water pH value. It has been found that the tissues of T. angustifolia accumulate more heavy metals than the tissues of P. pectinatus. Therefore, all plants can be used as a biological indicator while determining environmental pressures; however, T. angustifolia is proved more appropriate for such studies.
