Immobilization of ZnO nanoparticles on fluorinated perlite granules for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering, 2017
The fluorination of perlite granules and the immobilization of ZnO nanoparticles on the perlite surface were carried out at the same time by a simple impregnation method to create new highly photocatalytic materials which are easily separated from ...

Comparative efficacy and studies of mode of action of minerals from diatoms against three species of filth flies

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Mortality for diatomaceous earth was observed as early as 2 h after exposure with 50% and 90% mortality at 3.5 and 4.6 h (LT50 and LT90, respectively) for Musca domestica. The LT50 and LT90 increased when the size of the fly species increased (M. domestica to Cochliomyia macellaria to Sarcophaga bullata) and increased for all three from 50 to 70 ...

Rapid dehydration drives a nondiffusional drop in C3 photosynthesis that aligns with phosphate limitation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the causal sequence through which rapid water loss imposes diffusive and nondiffusive restrictions on carbon assimilation. Summary Drought is an abnormally prolonged water deficit posing major challenges to plants. Stomatal closure has long been considered the primary factor limiting photosynthesis during the early stages of

Rational design of perlite-bauxite-based low-density ceramic proppants for hydraulic fracturing

open access: yes
To develop lightweight ceramic proppants and to promote the high-value utilization of two different forms of perlite, this study employed raw perlite and expanded perlite as partial substitutes for bauxite and fabricated low-density proppants via disk ...

Determination of Major Elements in Perlite by X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry with Fusion Sampling Preparation

open access: yesYankuang ceshi, 2015
Chemical composition, an important quality index for perlite, has great influence on the expansion characteristics of perlite. At present, the component analysis of perlite is mainly traditional chemical methods such as capacity, weight ...

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

Investigating GERMs: how genotype, environment, and rhizosphere microbiome interactions underlie heat response in maize and sorghum

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Three genotypes – a heat‐resistant maize (Zea mays), a heat‐susceptible maize, and a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) variety – were grown to the V4 stage in growth chambers under optimal conditions or subjected to heat stress. Plants were grown in soil containing a complex microbial community, or in the same soil with a depleted microbiome.

The genetic architecture of leaf vein density and its importance for photosynthesis in maize

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Vein types in maize leaves. Summary Leaf venation density has significantly increased during plant evolution. Higher densities are observed in angiosperms compared with early land plants, and among angiosperms, recently diverged C4 species have the highest values.

MtGRF8 interacts with MtSymCRK and prevents early bacteroid death during Medicago – Sinorhizobium symbiosis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
MtSymCRK–MtGRF8‐14‐3‐3a, e, h and i functional model in R‐108 nodules. Summary In Medicago littoralis R‐108, Symbiotic CYSTEINE‐RICH RECEPTOR‐LIKE KINASE (MtSymCRK) is required to prevent defense reactions in symbiotic nodules during chronic infection.
