chlorophyll-b and arsenic-acid

Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle has a great ability to accumulate large amounts of arsenic (As). We studied the influence of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), pH, and arsenite (As(III)) on As transformation and fate in the H. verticillata - medium system via orthogonal experimental design. The results showed highest plant growth was under intermediate As(III) in the medium, with Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b contents in plant diminishing after 96 h treatment. Exposure to high N, high As(III), intermediate P, and low pH in the medium, the highest total arsenic uptake by plants were 169.1 ± 5.5 μg g
