Prediction model for mercury transfer from soil to corn grain and its cross-species extrapolation

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
In this study the transfer characteristics of mercury (Hg) from a wide range of Chinese soils to corn grain (cultivar Zhengdan 958) were investigated. Prediction models were developed for determining the Hg bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Zhengdan 958 ...

Intercropping minimally influences differences in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) uptake among three agricultural crops

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
The widespread presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in agroecosystems challenges safe and profitable food production. To contribute to the broader understanding of crop-specific PFAS uptake, we cultivated lettuce (Lactuca sativa L ...

Engineering 2,4,6‐Triaminopyrimidine‐Functionalized Fumed Silica for Highly Selective Hg2+ Detection: Spectroscopic and Theoretical Elucidations

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hg2+ is considered one of the most dangerous heavy metal pollutants. The fumed‐Si‐Pr‐TAP was prepared by functionalizing fumed‐silica with 3‐(chloropropyl)trimethoxysiliane and 2,4,6‐triaminopyrimidine (TAP). Fumed‐Si‐Pr‐TAP can detect Hg2+ ions in aqueous solutions with good sensitivity and selectivity.

Factors Affecting Bioconcentration of Trace Organic Contamination in Waters

, 1989
The influence of some important biological and physicochemical factors on the bioconcentration of hydrophobic organic chemicals is outlined. For non-ionizable, persistent compounds the bioconcentration factor can be related to a compound's octanol/water ...

Stoichiometric mismatches between Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts: You are what you assimilate

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...
