The bZIP transcription factor MpbZIP9 regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in Malus 'Pinkspire' fruit.

Malus 'Pinkspire' is regulated by abscisic acid (ABA), which results in a red colour, but the regulatory relationship between ABA and anthocyanin synthesis has not been determined. The key factors affecting the colour change of M. 'Pinkspire' peel were investigated during the periods of significant colour changes during fruit ripening.

FeS combined ozonation to remove p-aminobenzenesulfonamide from water: Density functional theory insights into the mechanism.

The applicability and performance of FeS in ozonation process to remove p-aminobenzenesulfonamide (SN) from water was assessed, and the working mechanism of FeS was comprehensively explored by both experimental means and density functional theory (DFT) simulation. FeS combined ozonation achieved 74% of SN removal in 60 min under the optimal condition, which was 37% higher than by ozonation alone, and 12% higher than FeO combined ozonation. Highly active species of •OH, •SO, O and •O were detected in the FeS combined ozonation system, the evolution pathway of the involved species was expounded with the aid of DFT calculation.

Surface mechanism and optimization of catalytic ozonation with CoFe oxides as catalyst for degradation of sodium p-toluenesulfonate in water.

In this study, the removals of sodium p-toluenesulfonate (NaTSA) by catalytic ozonation with two different cobalt-iron compounds, CoFe oxides prepared by co-precipitation/calcination (CPO) and CoFe oxides prepared by direct calcination (DCO), as the catalysts, had a difference of about 12%. It was found that the CPO surface contained active type c water, which was generally adsorbed on the oxygen vacancy. The test of oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O-TPD) showed that the surface of CPO was rich in oxygen vacancy.

Magnetic cotton textile wastes pyrolyzed by ferric cerium oxide for degradation of p-nitrophenol by catalytic ozonation.

In this paper, magnetic cotton textile wastes pyrolyzed by ferric cerium oxide (FeCe oxide/PC) were synthesized for degradation of p-nitrophenol by catalytic ozonation, and the optimal Fe-Ce ratio was 10:1. Compared to FeCe oxide, the FeCe oxide/PC not only greatly improved the degradation efficiency of PNP, but also reduced the dosage of catalyst. Through the BET test, the FeCe oxide/PC has a high specific surface area to absorb part of the pollutants.

Characterization and Electrochemical Behaviour of Nanoscale Hydrotalcite-Like Compounds toward the Reduction of Nitrate.

In this research, nano Cu/Al-HTLCs, Co/Al-HTLCs and Cu/Co/Al-HTLCs were synthesized, characterized, and tested in electrolytic reduction nitrate. Experimental results showed that Cu/Al-HTLCs were less stable than Co/Al-HTLCs due to the Jahn-Teller effect. However, electrocatalytic activity of copper was superior to that of cobalt; thus, Cu/Co/Al-HTLCs were selected based on their stable crystalline structure and electrochemical activity.
