This study examines different factors included in the cryopreservation protocols for Quercus ilex and Q. suber embryonic axes. In vitro incubation temperature played an important role in the appropriate development of Q. ilex axes, as 15 degrees C was superior to 25 degrees C. Q. suber axes proved to be more sensitive to desiccation and cooling. Poor survival (35%) was observed when axes were included into cryovials and then in liquid nitrogen, and none when immersed in sub-cooled liquid nitrogen (-210 degrees C). Q. ilex axes showed poorly organised development in vitro (c. 50% of non-cooled axes showed shoot development). However, c. 80% survival was observed after cryopreservation (either in liquid nitrogen or sub-cooled liquid nitrogen at 0.34 g water / g dry weight), of which c. 15% showed shoot development.

Metabolic crosstalk between roots and rhizosphere drives alfalfa decline under continuous cropping.

Considerable biological decline of continuously cropped alfalfa may be tightly linked to rhizosphere metabolism. However, plant-soil feedbacks and age-related metabolic changes in alfalfa stands remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to identify the linkages of rhizosphere and root metabolites, particularly autotoxins and prebiotics, to alfalfa decline under continuous cropping.

The aim of this work is to study the effect of adding hydroxy derivatives of chalcones to the basic cryomedium on the ability of sterlet sperm to utilize superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, the intensity of lipid peroxidation of male fish germ cells, and their viability both before cryopreservation and after 3 days of freezing at liquid nitrogen temperature. The ability of phenolic derivatives of chalcones to increase the superoxide dismutase and catalase activities of sterlet sperm and to reduce the intensity of lipid peroxidation has been established. The antioxidant activity of the derivatives exceeds the effect of Trolox, which inhibits the functioning of the enzyme component of the antioxidant protection of fish sperm and promotes lipid peroxidation of fish sperm before cryopreservation.

In this work, a novel V-g-CN/BiVO (V-CN/BVO) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was formed by introducing nitrogen vacancies (V) and constructing heterojunction, which is able to efficiently degrade the representative contaminant rhodamine B (RhB) upon exposure to visible-light, resulting in an outstanding degradation rate of 98.91% of RhB within 30 min. This photocatalyst exhibits catalytic universality and allows the degradation of methylene blue (MB, 97.

Adequate hypothermic storage of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) is of fundamental importance since they have been explored in several regenerative medicine initiatives. However, the actual clinical application of hMSCs necessitates hypothermic storage for long periods, a process that requires the use of non-toxic and efficient cryo-reagents capable of maintaining high viability and differentiating properties after thawing. Current cryopreservation methods are based on cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) containing dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), which have been shown to be toxic for clinical applications.

Electricity is frequently used to produce CAPP via a variety of techniques, including plasma jets, corona discharges, dielectric barrier discharges, and glow discharges. The type and flow rates of the carrier gas(es), temperature, pressure, and vacuum can all be altered to control the desired properties of the CAPP.
