Article Synopsis
- The study measured annual emissions of nitrous oxide (NO) and nitric oxide (NO) over 27 years in Guanzhong Plain, addressing how these emissions changed with different fertilization treatments, including control, synthetic fertilizers (NPK), and NPK with dairy manure (NPKM).* -
- Results showed the control treatment had low emissions, while the NPK and NPKM treatments had significant peaks in emissions tied to fertilizer application and irrigation, with the highest emissions seen in the summer maize season.* -
- The annual NO emissions were lowest in the control (CK) treatment and highest in the NPK treatment, indicating that different fertilization strategies affect gas losses, with no significant difference between NPK and
Oxygen-Content-Controllable Graphene Oxide from Electron-Beam-Irradiated Graphite: Synthesis, Characterization, and Removal of Aqueous Lead [Pb(II)].

A high-energy electron beam was applied to irradiate graphite for the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) with a controllable oxygen content. The obtained GO sheets were analyzed with various characterization tools. The results revealed that the oxygen-containing groups of GO increased with increasing irradiation dosages.

Starch is the major component in maize kernels, providing a stable carbohydrate source for humans and livestock as well as raw material for the biofuel industry. Increasing maize kernel starch content will help meet industry demands and has the potential to increase overall yields. We developed a pair of maize near-isogenic lines (NILs) with different alleles for a starch quantitative trait locus on chromosome 3 (qHS3), resulting in different kernel starch content.

Background: Plastid genomes, also known as plastomes, are shaped by the selective forces acting on the fundamental cellular functions they code for and thus they are expected to preserve signatures of the adaptive path undertaken by different plant species during evolution. To identify molecular signatures of positive selection associated to adaptation to contrasting ecological niches, we sequenced with Solexa technology the plastomes of two congeneric Brassicaceae species with different habitat preference, Cardamine resedifolia and Cardamine impatiens.
Results: Following in-depth characterization of plastome organization, repeat patterns and gene space, the comparison of the newly sequenced plastomes between each other and with 15 fully sequenced Brassicaceae plastomes publically available in GenBank uncovered dynamic variation of the IR boundaries in the Cardamine lineage.

Objective: To develop a quantitative method for determination of zizybeoside II in Ziziphus jujuba.
Method: The samples were separated at 30 degrees C on a Zorbax SB-C18 column eluted with methanol-water (20 : 80) as the mobile phase. Flow rate was set at 1.
