Objective: To select the best formula for soilless cultivation of Nervilia fordii.

Methods: Four different formulas of nutrient solution on growth,antioxidase activities and amino acid contents were investigated.

Results: The concentration of 1/2 lettuce nutrient solution formula was the most propitious for the growth of Nervilia fordii, the antioxidase activities and amino acid contents were increased in the treatment of nutrient solution,and the highest amino acid content was observed in 1/2 dose of green leafy vegetables nutrient solution formula.

Conclusion: The concentration of 1/2 lettuce nutrient solution formula is the optimal solution for growth of Nervilia fordii, the results of this study provides academic and technological basis for soilless cultivation of Nervilia fordii.

Nitrate is a crucial nutrient in the natural nitrogen cycle. However, human activities have elevated nitrate levels in aquatic ecosystems beyond natural thresholds, posing risks to human health and the environment. In this work, ZnCl-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (ZnCl@MSN) were synthesized using a one-pot preparation method, leading to a streamlined process with reduced time and energy consumption.

Enhancing crops productivity to ensure food security is one of the major challenges encountering agriculture today. A promising solution is the use of biostimulants, which encompass molecules that enhance plant fitness, growth, and productivity. The regulatory metabolite zaxinone and its mimics (MiZax3 and MiZax5) showed promising results in improving the growth and yield of several crops.

Crop plants are severely affected by heavy metals (HMs), leading to food scarcity and economical loss. Lead (Pb) is outsourced by use of lead-based fertilizers, batteries, mining, smelting and metal processing. It significantly reduces growth, development and yield of crops cultivated on contaminated sites.

N-Acetyltyrosine as a Biomarker of Parenteral Nutrition Administration in First-Tier Newborn Screening Assays.

Int J Neonatal Screen

December 2024

Division of Laboratory Sciences, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4770 Buford Hwy NE, S110-3, Atlanta, GA 30341, USA.

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a nutrient solution administered intravenously (IV) to premature babies. PN causes elevations of some amino acids in blood samples that are also biomarkers used in newborn screening (NBS). Therefore, PN status must be annotated by clinicians on dried blood spot (DBS) cards to reduce NBS laboratory burdens associated with potential false results; however, NBS laboratories continue to receive DBSs with misannotated PN status.
