The widespread and extensive use of glyphosate in agriculture has raised concerns about its potential impact on the quality and safety of agricultural products. Conventional detection methods require long analysis times, making them impractical for the rapid detection of large quantities of samples. Therefore, developing a fast and simple detection system for glyphosate pesticide residues is urgent. In this study, the development of a facile fluorescence probe synthesized using a simple one-pot hydrothermal method for the determination of glyphosate is an important step toward addressing the need for a fast and simple detection system. The present sensor was created using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a precursor, and the sensor operates by producing an “off–on” fluorescent signal. The bovine albumin-derived BSA-CDs emitted light yellow fluorescence, but this fluorescence was quenched (or suppressed) by the presence of Cu2+ ions. However, the fluorescence can be restored by the presence of glyphosate, which interacts with the Cu2+ ions to form a complex and release the BSACDs from suppression. The functional groups in glyphosate can capture Cu2+ and break the BSA-CDs/Cu2+ combinatorial system. The BSA-CDs/Cu2+ fluorescence quenching system had good selectivity for glyphosate. The detection limit of the BSA-CD/Cu2+ fluorescence sensor was 0.05 μg/mL. This developed method was utilized to successfully detect glyphosate in Chinese wheat. The average recoveries ranged from 98.9 to 100.7%, with a relative standard deviation < 3.0%, showing good prospects for practical applicability.
Glyphosate, a worldwide most used herbicides, can have complex implications for terrestrial ecosystems, extending beyond its intended target, weed control. This study investigated the cascading effects of glyphosate application on both plant and collembolan communities. Our findings reveal that glyphosate application can reduce the richness of plant communities, and these effects can be pronounced in areas with low initial plant diversity. Furthermore, our results confirm that the fluctuations in plant community composition induced by glyphosate application can also impact the richness of collembolan communities. This research highlights the importance of considering both plant and invertebrate communities when assessing the impacts of herbicide use in agroecosystems.
Climate change is a global phenomenon and has major impacts on ecotoxicology. A variety of environmental variables affected by climate change can alter the fate of chemical and responses of organism. Especially, soil temperature is an important factor in ecotoxicology. Increasing temperature results in an increase in the rate of uptake and degradation of toxic compound. Therefore, the research of temperature effect on toxicity is needed to understand the change of toxic effect under climate change.
In this regards, the response of Paronychiurus kimi (Collembola) to Geunsami™ (glyphosate-based herbicide) were evaluated at different temperatures (20℃, 25℃) and soil aging time (7, 15 days). Survived adults and hatched juveniles were counted after 28-day exposures in artificial soil spiked with 1, 5, 50, 100, 500 mg/kg of glyphosate in different temperature and soil aging time conditions. In addition, we investigated the fatty acid composition of Paronychiurus kimi.
Increasing soil aging time and temperature, EC20 value of P. kimi was increased. Fatty acid composition of P. kimi was similar with that of Folsomia candida mainly composed of 18:1 w9c, 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids. UI (Unsaturation Index) and the ratio C16/18 of fatty acid composition decreased with increasing temperature. The 18:0 (Stearic acid) fatty acid increased with increasing concentration of glyphosate.
