PG - 108830 LID - S1532-0456(20)30130-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cbpc.2020.108830 [doi] AB - Boscalid is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide commonly used to control a range of plant pathogens. Although it is one of the most common fungicides in the aquatic environment, the potential adverse effects of boscalid on freshwater invertebrates still remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of boscalid on Daphnia magna (D. magna) and provide new information to assess the eco-toxicity of the boscalid on aquatic invertebrates. The effects of boscalid on malondialdehyde (MDA) level, activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) and the mRNA level of genes associated with antioxidant system (sod, cat, and gst) and detoxification (cytochrome P450 4 (cyp4) and nuclear respiratory factor 1 (nrf1)) were determined after 48 h treatment. The effect of boscalid on reproduction and development of D. magna was evaluated by a 21-d-chronic toxicity test. Boscalid dose-dependently altered activities of SOD, CAT, and GST and led to lipid peroxidation during acute exposure in D. magna. Exposure to 5 and 10 mg/L boscalid also significantly decreased gene expression of sod, gst, cyp4 and nrf1 but increased cat gene expression. Furthermore, chronic toxicity results showed that exposure to boscalid decreased molting frequency, number of neonates per Daphnia, and the number of broods per female as compared to the control groups. The above results indicated that boscalid had significant negative impacts on D. magna, and information present here helps to evaluate the eco-toxicity caused by boscalid on aquatic invertebrates.
