Joint effects of naphthalene and microcystin-LR on physiological responses and toxin bioaccumulation of Landoltia punctata.
Responses and toxin bioaccumulation in duckweed (Lemna minor) under microcystin-LR, linear alkybenzene sulfonate and their joint stress.
Microcystin-LR induced oxidative stress and ultrastructural alterations in mesophyll cells of submerged macrophyte Vallisneria natans (Lour.) Hara.
Combined toxic effects of microcystin-LR and phenanthrene on growth and antioxidant system of duckweed (Lemna gibba L.).
Bioaccumulation of microcystin and its oxidative stress in the apple (Malus pumila)
TLDR
The results showed that the growth and proliferation of M. pumila shoots in vitro decreased markedly after exposure to microcystins above 0.3 μg/ml, and the activity of peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased significantly after 14 days of exposure.
Bioaccumulation and detoxication of microcystin-LR in three submerged macrophytes: The important role of glutathione biosynthesis
Microcystin-LR, a cyanobacterial toxin, induces growth inhibition and histological alterations in common reed (Phragmites australis) plants regenerated from embryogenic calli.
TLDR
The data suggest that microcystin-LR, a cyanotoxin, induced developmental and histological alterations leading to growth inhibition of reed, and the induced harms have an impact on understanding reed decay in eutrophic fresh waters.
Phytotoxic effects of cyanobacteria extract on Lemna minor and Myriophyllum spicatum phyto‐tolerance and superoxide dismutase activity
TLDR
The result indicated that M. spicatum was more tolerant to microcystins than L. minor and the induced SOD activity may contribute to the tolerance.
Effects of microcystin-LR, cylindrospermopsin and a microcystin-LR/cylindrospermopsin mixture on growth, oxidative stress and mineral content in lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.).
The Removal of Cyanobacterial Hepatotoxin [Dha7] Microcystin-LR via Bioaccumulation in Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.)
TLDR
Removal by P. stratiotes (with 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L of the toxin) was faster and greater in static systems than in continuous flow systems, whereas in the continuous flow system, the plant root tissue accumulated the toxin up to a concentration of 0.0041 ng/mg wet wt.

Influence of microcystin-RR on growth and photosynthetic capacity of the duckweed Lemna minor L.
TLDR
The maximum electron transport rate as an indicator of photosynthetic capacity was reduced up to 16 % compared to the values obtained from control plants and the contents of chlorophyll a, b and the total amount of carotenoids were significantly reduced by more than 50 %.

Uptake, effects, and metabolism of cyanobacterial toxins in the emergent reed plant Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex steud
TLDR
The commonly occurring cyanobacterial toxin microcystin‐LR was rapidly taken up by the emergent reed plant Phragmites australis with clear distribution in the different cormus parts of the plant, providing the first evidence for the uptake and metabolism of cyanob bacterial toxins by an emergent aquatic macrophyte.

Possible allelopathic effects of cyanotoxins, with reference to microcystin‐LR, in aquatic ecosystems
TLDR
A well‐known cyanobacterial secondary metabolite, microcystin‐LR, was tested for its allelopathic power on aquatic macrophytes, resulting in growth inhibition, reduction in photosynthetic oxygen production, and changes in pigment pattern, showing that microcyStin‐ LR has a possible role as an allelopathy infochemical.

Pathological and biochemical characterization of microcystin-induced hepatopancreas and kidney damage in carp (Cyprinus carpio).
TLDR
The present data demonstrate that, in comparison to the pathological events in salmonids exposed to MC, the pathology in carp develops rapidly and at lower toxin concentrations, this is most likely due to a more efficient uptake of toxin, while the mechanism of cell death is primarily apoptosis.
