Effects of salt stress on seed germination and respiratory metabolism in different genotypes.

The selection and utilization of ornamental plants that are highly tolerant to salt are helpful for landscape construction and the ecological protection of coastal and arid areas. To evaluate salt tolerance, one of the most used methods is the observation of seed germination under salt stress. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of NaCl in water absorption, germination, and respiratory metabolism in seeds of different genotypes.

One-step preparation of sulfur-doped porous g-CN for enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance.

Nonmetal doping is a convenient method to adjust the visible light photocatalytic activity of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). Herein, highly active sulfur-doped porous g-C3N4 (C3N4-S) was successfully prepared by one-step calcination using thiourea and melamine as the precursors. C3N4-S exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation.

Characterization of a layered methylene blue/vanadium oxide nanocomposite and its application in a reagentless H2O2 biosensor.

Layered nanocomposite of methylene blue (MB)-intercalated vanadium oxide was obtained through a simple hydrothermal synthesis method using MB, V2O5, and NaI as starting materials. The intercalation reaction was proven to be successful using X-ray diffraction pattern. The MB-V2O5 nanocomposite was characterized using a scanning electron micrograph, infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, UV spectra, and electrochemical measurements.
