Abstract
This short review gives several examples of the current status of xenobioti c biotransformation reactions and oxidative stress responses in plants as b iomarkers of organic pollution in aquatic environments. Based on previous b asic knowledge, several biomonitoring programmes have been successfully app lied during the last decade.
