Effect of electric field frequency on phytoremediation efficiency and properties of Cd-contaminated soil

Environmental Sciences Europe
Electrochemical-phytoextraction is considered as an integrated technology for removal of Cd in contaminated soil. However, there is a lack of systematic studies on the how electric field frequency plant Cd enrichment and soil microbial properties, which ...

Biochar-based microbial fertilizer improves soil fertility and rice productivity by regulating soil nutrient-microbe-metabolite interactions

Frontiers in Microbiology
Soil degradation and population growth threaten agricultural sustainability, necessitating innovative fertilization strategies. In this study, we developed and evaluated biochar-based microbial fertilizers (BMFs) that integrate biochar, organic manure ...

Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Complex Genetic Architecture of Cadmium and Mercury Accumulation and Tolerance Traits in Medicago truncatula

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Heavy metals are an increasing problem due to contamination from human sources that and can enter the food chain by being taken up by plants. Understanding the genetic basis of accumulation and tolerance in plants is important for reducing the uptake of ...

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Pyramidal Structures on Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia after High Temperature Exposure at 1500°C: New Features on an Old Material

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...

Combined application of calcium fertilizer improves the immobilization of biochar-ferromanganese materials on cd/as co-polluted paddy soils under acidifying conditions

Scientific Reports
Soil acidification is an increasingly serious issue in southern China. A decrease in soil pH tends to interfere with the immobilization of heavy metals by amendments.

Short-term impact of mechanical loosening on physical soil properties in a severely compacted subsoil

Geoderma
Subsoil compaction is a serious threat to the fertility of our urban and agricultural lands. In severe cases it impedes aeration of and water infiltration into the subsoil, increasing risks of water-logging and overland run-off with erosion.

The Beneficial Effects of Inoculation with Selected Nodule-Associated PGPR on White Lupin Are Comparable to Those of Inoculation with Symbiotic Rhizobia

Plants, 2023
Nodule endophytes and associated bacteria are non-symbiotic bacteria that colonize legume nodules. They accompany nodulating rhizobia and can form beneficial associations, as some of them are plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that are able to ...

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.
