Novel corncob-derived solid acid catalysts were successfully synthesized for the first time by hydrothermal method. The influences of different preparation conditions investigated, and structure–function relationships resulting also discussed on basis analysis structure composition. In comparison to conventional catalysts, catalyst under optimized exhibited higher catalytic activity in esterification reactions, yielding nearly 90% methyl oleate only 2 h. retained satisfactory esterification,...
Abstract Background Luo-han-guo (Siraitia grosvenorii), also called monk fruit, is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family. Monk fruit has become an important area for research because pharmacological and economic potential its noncaloric, extremely sweet components (mogrosides). It commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine treatment lung congestion, sore throat, constipation. Recently, single reference genome became available assembled from 36.9x coverage reads via Illumina sequencing...
Phosphorus, as an essential nutrient, plays important role in plant growth and development. Although Phosphate Starvation Response 1 (PHR1) or PHR1-like have been recognized central regulators of phosphorus (Pi) homeostasis several plants, they not systematically studied Cucurbitaceae. In this study, 11, 10, 8, 12, 22 PHR genes were identified cucumber, melon, bottle gourd, watermelon, wax pumpkin, respectively, by genome-wide analysis. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Cucurbitaceae...
Hydroxyproline O-arabinosyltransferase (HPAT), a critical enzyme in plant glycosylation pathways, catalyzes the transfer of arabinose to hydroxyl group hydroxyproline residues. This contains canonical GT95 glycosyltransferase, structural hallmark this carbohydrate-active family. HPAT mediates arabinosylation diverse cellular targets, including cell wall extension and small signaling peptides. Emerging evidence has shown that orthologs regulate development symbiotic interactions through...
Abstract The effects of solid-state NaOH pretreatment on the efficiency methane production from semi-dry anaerobic digestion rose (Rosa rugosa) stalk were investigated at various loadings (0, 1, 2, and 4% (w/w)). Methane production, process stability energy balance analyzed. Results showed that significantly improved biogas yields 30-day digestion, with increases 143.7 mL/g volatile solids (VS) added to 157.1 VS –192.1 81.8 88.8 VS–117.7 added, respectively. Solid-state resulted in higher...
Abstract: Biodegradable plastics have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility and non-toxicity. In this study, normal maize starch (containing 25% amylose) high-amylose 80% were served as model materials prepare starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blends. To comprehensively study the effects of amylose contents on film performances, mechanical properties, water resistance anaerobic biodegradability two films examined. Moreover, processes...
The drought-induced protein 19 (Di19) gene family encodes a Cys2/His2 zinc-finger implicated in responses to diverse plant stressors. To date, potential roles of these proteins as transcription factors remain largely elusive maize. Here, we show that ZmDi19-7 exerts pivotal functions regulation height and organ growth by modulating the cell size physically interacts with ubiquitin receptor ZmDAR1b, which is indispensable ubiquitination affects its stability. Further genetic analysis...
Abstract Potato starch-based carbon particles were prepared by low-temperature carbonization in methyl silicone oil at 220 °C for 15 h and subsequent 600 1 hour under nitrogen. The as-prepared molded, then heat-treated. results confirmed that could keep the original shape of potato starch exhibit high monodispersity with smooth surfaces. size distribution ranged from 10 to 100 μm blocks molded exhibited relatively superior mechanical strength a flexural 85.7 MPa. Additionally, it was found...
The thermal behavior and structure change of Spartina alterniflora pretreated with lime were investigated raw water-soaked samples for comparisons. Pretreatment significantly changed decomposition activation energy. energy S. ranged from 100.7 to 128 kJ/mol at the main stage. FTIR solid-state 13C NMR analyses revealed that pretreatment disrupted carboxyl carbons attached lignin side chain. Compared water soaking, resulted in more modifications composition. Furthermore, breakage composition...
The maize pollens were implanted with seven different doses of 30 keV N+ beam respectively, genomic DNA polymorphism from treated analyzed 104 primers by using RAPD respectively. results showed that beam-induced mutation can result in the change their bases. is not properly random and its frequency increases a rise doses. It conformed A-G transformation, which one most important factors bases induced beam.
Abstract In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, appropriate regulation of the formation, maintenance, and degeneration arbuscule are essential for plants fungi. this study, we identified a Cysteine-2/Histidine-2 zinc finger protein (C2H2-ZFP)-encoding gene in Lotus japonicus named Regulator Symbiosome Differentiation-Like (LjRSDL) that is required degeneration. Evolutionary analysis showed homologs LjRSDL exist flowering plants. We obtained ProLjRSDL::GUS transgenic hairy roots was...
Ever since the low energy N+ ion beam has been accepted that mutation effects of ionizing radiation are attributed mainly to direct or indirect damage DNA. Evidences based on naked DNA irradiation in support a spectrum appears be consistent, but proof such results vivo limited. Using mutS, dam and/or dcm defective Eschericha coli mutator strains, an preliminary experimental system induction spectra established this study. It was observed rates rifampicin resistance induced by implantation...
In the process of fermentation steroid C11α-hydroxylgenation strain Aspergillus flavus AF-ANo208, a red pigment is derived, which will affect isolation and purification target product. Low energy ion beam implantation new tool for breeding excellent mutant strains. this study, experiments were performed by infusing two different ions: argon (Ar+) nitrogen (N+). The results showed that optimal was N+ with an optimum dose 2.08 × 1015 ions/cm2, AF-ANm16 produced no obtained. had high genetic...
