Aquatic macrophytes and Eichhornia crassipes

1982
Munro (1966) defined the shoreline habitats of Lake McIlwaine in terms of the presence or absence of aquatic macrophytes, and the major species of macrophyte where the plants were present. Relatively few areas of the lake shore were free of macrophytes (Fig.

Effects on Eichhornia crassipes under Zn stress

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Eichhornia crassipes is a macrophyte widely used in phytoremediation, demonstrating a high ability to remove metals from water. The aim of this work was to evaluate its enzymatic detoxification strategies and metal accumulation when it is exposed to different Zn concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, and 9 ppm) for periods of 24, 48, and 72 h. Zn concentration in

Resource recovery of Eichhornia crassipes as oil superabsorbent

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2017
The elastic cellulose-based aerogels (CBAs) with highly porous (99.56%) and low-density (0.0065gcm-1) were prepared using Eichhornia crassipes as cellulose source and polyvinyl alcohol directly as cross-linker via a facile and environment-friendly process.

Cyanide phytoremediation by water hyacinths (Eichhornia crassipes)

Chemosphere, 2007
Although cyanide is highly toxic, it is economically attractive for extracting gold from ore bodies containing only a few grams per 1000 kg. Most of the cyanide used in industrial mining is handled without observable devastating consequences, but in informal, small-scale mining, the use is poorly regulated and the waste treatment is insufficient ...

Effect of copper on the photosynthesis and growth of Eichhornia crassipes

Plant Biology, 2021
Abstract Although copper is essential for plant growth and development and plays an important role in many physiological processes, excess copper, resulting from industrial development and population expansion in the recent decades, leads to environmental pollution and has been a cause of wide concern for the adverse effects on photosynthesis ...

Evapotranspiration of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)

Journal of Hydrology, 1974
Abstract From water balance measurements near the Agricultural Experiment Station at Paramaribo and on the Brokopondo Lake, the evapotranspiration of water hyacinth appeared to be respectively 48% and 44% higher than the free water evaporation. These values are much lower than could be expected based upon values given in the literature.

Phytoremediation of heavy metals by Eichhornia crassipes

The Environmentalist, 2007
Eichhornia crassipes was tested for its ability to bioconcentrate 8 toxic metals (Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) commonly found in wastewater from industries. Young plants of equal size were grown hydroponically and amended with 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 mM of each heavy metal individually for 21 days.

Eichhornia crassipes Genome sequencing and assembly

2023
Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as common water hyacinth, is one of the most notorious weeds that cause severe damage to the economy and natural ecosystems of infested areas. Here, we assembled a chromosome-level genome for E. crassipes.

Variation in the elemental content of Eichhornia crassipes

Hydrobiologia, 1971
The elemental composition of E. crassipes falls within the range of elemental values reported for other aquatic and terrestrial plants. Concentrations of macronutrients in water hyacinth biomass were not correlated with environmental levels of these nutrients. E. crassipes produces large, dense stands and dominates biogeochemical cycles in many aquatic
