Suberin and wax deposited in the cork (phellem) layer of periderm form lipophilic barrier that protects mature plant organs. Periderm lipids have been widely studied for their protective function with regards to dehydration how they respond environmental stresses wounding. However, despite advances biosynthetic pathways suberin associated wax, little is known about regulation deposition. Here, we report on a potato NAC transcription factor gene, StNAC103, induced tuber phellem (skin). The...
The environmental impact of sample preparation should be minimized through simplification the procedures and use natural, renewable and/or reusable materials. In such scenario, thin-film microextraction fulfils former criteria, as it enables few steps miniaturization, thus small amount extraction phase. At same time, sorbents biochars obtained from biomass waste is even more promoted due to their availability at low cost increased life-cycle in a circular economy vision. However, not always...
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) were extensively used in agriculture. Due to their adverse effect, there is a need for sensitive and reliable methods determine these agrochemicals. Microextraction techniques (ME) afford the opportunity substantially reduce amount of organic solvent classical extraction pesticide analysis. Moreover, deep eutectic solvents (DES) made components natural origin, have been applied microextraction as green alternative solvents. The combination thin film DES can...
The occurrence of sex steroid hormones, viz. oestrogens and progestins, in aquatic ecosystems is global concern due to their role as endocrine disrupting chemicals, even at low concentration (μg L
It is essential to monitor organic pollutants control contamination levels in environmental water bodies. In this respect, the development of new materials based on functionalised polymeric films for measurement toxic compounds interest. study, we prepare polymer cellulose triacetate modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes monitoring selected compounds: a fungicide (chlorpyrifos) and two emerging contaminants, musk tonalide bactericide triclosan, which are used formulation personal care...
Abstract Different capillary needle trap (NT) configurations are studied and compared to evaluate the suitability of this methodology for screening in analysis volatile organic compounds (VOCs) air samples at ultra‐trace levels. Totally, 22 gauge needles with side holes give best performance results, resulting good sampling flow reproducibility as well fast complete NT conditioning cleaning. Two different types sorbent evaluated: a graphitized carbon (Carbopack X) polymeric (Tenax TA)....
