In this study, it was aimed to determine some physiological effects of CuO nanoparticle on C. demersum. The plants were collected from an uncontaminated pond in Gaziantep province. Different concentrations of CuO (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/L) were applied to the macrophytes after being acclimatized in controlled conditions. Some analyses were made on macrophytes harvested at the end of the application. The contents of protein, total carbohydrate, photosynthetic pigment, total phenolic compound, non-protein sulfhydryl groups of tissues increased with increasing CuO concentration under the influence of applied CuO concentrations. In addition, increases in hydrogen peroxide and MDA contents were also detected. As a result, it was determined that the applied CuO concentrations caused some physiological changes in C. demersum tissues.
