【 摘 要 】

One of the major problems of current time is air pollution, the assessment of air quality through the use of bioindicators is a major concern at the moment. Our work aims to study the response of Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. to fluoride- and lead-induced stress as an example of the phytotoxic air pollutants. For this purpose, lichen thalli have been treated with sodium fluoride (NaF) and lead nitrates (Pb(NO3)2) solutions at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0 and 10 mM, for time scale of 0, 24, 48 and 96 h. Lipid peroxidation measured by Malondialdehyde (MDA) and chlorophyll degradation measured by optical density OD435/OD415 ratio are used as results of stress induced by fluoride and lead, and the accumulation of proline and soluble sugars are measured as indicators of responses used by X. parietina. Based on the obtained results, it was noted that lipid peroxidation increased correlating with increasing concentrations of NaF and Pb(NO3)2 (r=0.773, p=0.000712*** and r 0.865, p=0.000031***, respectively), however, chlorosis and proline increased correlating with increasing exposure time of NaF (r=- 0.737, p=0.0011** and r=0.783, p=0.00032***, respectively) and Pb(NO3)2 (r=-0.926, p<0.0001*** and r=0.811, p=0.00013***, respectively), whereas soluble sugar contents increased according to increasing concentrations of NaF (r=0.678, p=0.0010***) and according to increasing exposure time of Pb(NO3)2 (r=0.780, p=0.00036***). Although lead was significantly more toxic than fluoride (p=0.02*), X. parietina offers a very high sensitivity to fluoride, which allowed us to conclude that the toxicity of fluorine is comparable to that of lead.
