Article Synopsis
- - Soil pollutants like lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are increasing, causing ecological disruptions and threatening crop yields, particularly affecting quinoa plants.
- - The study tested the effects of combined potassium (K) and salicylic acid (SA) treatments on quinoa exposed to Pb and Cd, finding that these treatments significantly reduced plant damage and oxidative stress.
- - The use of 10 mM K and 0.1 mM SA together improved plant health by enhancing enzymes that combat oxidative stress, leading to better chlorophyll levels and reduced metal accumulation, indicating an effective strategy for mitigating pollutants in crops.

Using AIBN as the free radical initiator and sucrose as the template, imprinted polymers are synthesized. The monomer, 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane (DPDI), has both proton donor groups (N-H or O-H) and lone-pair donor groups (C=O).
