Voltammetric scan can record the profile of electrochemical active substances in plant tissues. Because the distribution of chemical components in plants is controlled by genes, these profiles can reflect differences at the genetic level in different species. In this study, the voltammetric scan was applied to the investigation of macrophanerophytes taxonomy. All species of Chimonanthus with two exotaxa were deliberately selected due to their controversial infrageneric relationship. Electrode surface modification was excluded in this work to improve the convenience and accuracy of the fingerprint recording process. The dendrogram deduced from the electrochemical fingerprint data suggests that Ch. Zhejiangensis and Ch. grammatus are two groups of Ch. nitens, which may be only the ecotype of Ch. nitens, rather than independent taxonomic species. The small variations between the three species may be due to environmental factors and cannot be used for species formation. In addition, Ch. campanulatus and Ch. Praecox were clustered together with a close relationship.

Understanding the dynamic spatial and temporal release of neurotransmitters can help resolve long-standing questions related to chemical modulation of neurological circuits. Dopamine modulates function in a range of physiological processes and is key to transmission in addiction and neurological disorders. Studies at subcellular scales promise to help develop a broader understanding of dopamine release, diffusion, and receptor activation and how these processes lead to functional outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) method is introduced for the sensitive detection of fenhexamid (FHX) using a disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGE), which is both affordable and effective.
  • The study examines the oxidation and reduction behavior of FHX at different pH levels, revealing specific voltage peaks for each process and establishing linear detection ranges for various concentrations of FHX.
  • The methodology shows high selectivity with minimal interference from other compounds, and recovery tests demonstrate its accuracy for analyzing FHX in environmental samples like water and soil.

Article Synopsis
  • * The article introduces "elimination voltammetry with a linear scan" (EVLS) as a software approach to overcome limitations like low sensitivity and signal overlap, allowing selective elimination of certain current components based on scan rates.
  • * EVLS shows promise for enhancing the understanding of electrochemical processes, particularly in scenarios involving irreversible electrode processes, by selectively preserving key current components while eliminating others for more accurate analysis.
