Effects of various exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations on leaf senescence of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were studied. The results showed that 0.1 and 1 mmol/L H2O2 had little effects on the leaf senescence of tobacco, the contents of chlorophyll and soluble protein were decreased in varying degrees by 10, 100 mmol/L H2O2 treatment, the decreased chlorophyll and soluble protein contents were significantly correlated with increased endogenous H2O2 content. SDS-PAGE of soluble protein and localized staining of H2O2 showed consistency with respective content. Chloroplast ultrastructure were observed in the mesophyll cells of tobacco and there was a little change by 10 mmol/L H2O2 treatment, and a remarkable breakdown of granal stacks and disorganized thylakoid membranes were revealed by 100, 200 mmol/L H2O2 treatment. RT-PCR analysis showed the expression level of senescence associated genes SAG12 was low by 10mmol/L H2O2 treatment and increased by 100 mmol/L H2O2 treatment. These results strongly suggested the tobacco leaf senescence was induced by 10 mmol/L H2O2 and accelerated the progression by high concentration (100, 200 mmol/L) H2O2 stress.

Nanofiltration (NF) is crucial for advancing water purification and wastewater reuse technologies. Incorporating biocidal nanoparticles (NPs) such as AgNPs and CuNPs is promising for developing antibacterial and antibiofouling NF membranes, while their application is limited by NPs aggregation, high cost, and severe ion release. In this study, we developed novel NF membranes by integrating bimetallic AgCu nanoalloys via an in-situ reduction and coordination method facilitated by a polydopamine/polyethyleneimine (PDA/PEI) intermediate layer.

Background: Probiotics, which are beneficial to the host, have been shown to benefit the health of cats. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are commonly used probiotics, but most strains used for cats are not derived from cats, leading to reduced efficacy and poor adaptation to cats. The objective was to identify LAB with promising probiotic potential specific to cats.

Glucose is an important source of energy for the human body, but excessive intake will destroy the body's metabolic balance and increase health risks. In this paper, a smartphone glucose colorimetric detection system was developed in a paper-based microfluidic analytical device (µPAD) using green synthetic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as probes for accurate, rapid and efficient quantitative analysis of glucose in food. The AuNPs, acting as mimetic enzymes, were capable of catalyzing the breakdown of HO generated by the interaction of glucose oxidase (GOx) with glucose to OH, which subsequently oxidized the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), resulting in a typical green reaction.
