Secondary metabolites of lichens can be involved in production of chelates with heavy
metals. We hypothesized that parietin plays important role in protection of photobiont cells in …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms that are very sensitive to heavy metal pollution. However,
there is little evidence of how heavy metal pollution affects the physiological status …

Copper is an essential element for all organisms but can reach toxic concentrations as a
result of human activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate physiological …

Abstract Effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) or 2-aminoindane-2-
phosphonic acid (AIP) pre-treatments on the sensitivity of Xanthoria parietina exposed to UV …

The lichen Evernia prunastri is very frequently employed in lichen biomonitoring studies and
its sensitivity to air pollution has been confirmed at the community level many times …

Xanthoria parietina is a widespread foliose lichen growing on barks and rocks showing a
broad spectrum of tolerance to air pollutants such as NOX and heavy metals, and resistance …

Abstract Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. is a widely spread foliose lichen showing high
tolerance against UV-radiation thanks to parietin, a secondary lichen substance. We …

Sažetak Lichens are one of the most common air quality bioindicators. Airborne heavy metal
pollution causes various physiological changes in lichens, but sensitivity to metal pollution is …
