Abstract
The effect of dust pollution on the photosynthesis and respiration parameters of foliose lichens Hypogimnia physodes (L.) Nyl, Lobaria pulmonaria (L.) Hoffm. and Peltigera aphthosa (L.) Willd., collected near the bauxite mine (Komi Republic, Russia) was investigated. Microscopic analysis showed that fine dust particles were mainly on the thalli surface, with a few mineral inclusions in the thalli medulla. The deposition of dust particles caused significant changes in the optical properties of the lichen surface in the visible and infrared spectral regions. A number of spectral indices (BRI, REP, RES, WI) sensitive to lichen pollution by dust emissions from the bauxite mine were identified due changes in the reflectance spectra of the thalli. Shading of the algal layer by mineral particles deposited on the thalli surface did not affect the content of photosynthetic pigments and PS II photochemical activity parameters. At the same time, lichen CO2-exchange parameters were observed to change. Lichen thalli from the polluted area were characterized by lower values of net CO2 uptake in the moderate light conditions (150 µmol PAR/m2 s), and the proportion of dark respiration in the gas exchange was 1.5 to 2 times higher than the values for thalli from background site. A 2-fold decrease in cytochrome respiration capacity was observed in thalli from the affected area. In thalli of L. pulmonaria and P. aphthosa, the energetically inefficient alternative respiratory pathway capacity increased 1.5‑fold and in H. physodes the activity of residual respiration increased more than 3.5-fold. The results obtained allowed an assessment of the chronic dust pollution effects on the foliose lichens symbionts functioning. The data may be useful for environmental biomonitoring.
期刊介绍：
Russian Journal of Plant Physiology is a leading journal in phytophysiology. It embraces the full spectrum of plant physiology and brings together the related aspects of biophysics, biochemistry, cytology, anatomy, genetics, etc. The journal publishes experimental and theoretical articles, reviews, short communications, and descriptions of new methods. Some issues cover special problems of plant physiology, thus presenting collections of articles and providing information in rapidly growing fields. The editorial board is highly interested in publishing research from all countries and accepts manuscripts in English.
