Cylindrospermopsin induces biochemical changes leading to programmed cell death in plants
In the present study we provide cytological and biochemical evidence that the cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) induces programmed cell death (PCD) symptoms in two model vascular plants: the dicot white must...

Open AccessCylindrospermopsin Inhibits Growth and Modulates Protease Activity in the Aquatic Plants Lemna minor L. and Wolffia arrhiza (L.) Horkel
The toxic effects of cylindrospermopsin (cyanobacterial toxin) on animals have been examined extensively, but little research has focused on their effects on plants. In this study cylindrospermopsin (CYN) caus...
