A total of 2,204 bp DNA sequence was obtained. The transcription start site, which is located at 128 bp upstream to the start ATG, was predicted by the TSSP-TCM program. The functional elements were analysed by PLACE program. The obtained SICMO gene promoter contains the basic elements: TATA-box, CAAT-box, and stress-induced elements, for example, salt responsive element (GAAAAA), cold responsive elements (CANNTG), ABA (Abscisic Acid) responsive elements (NAACAA), water stress element (CGGTTG), and WUN responsive elements (GTTAGGTTC). Isolation and analysis of the promoter of the CMO gene from S. liaotungensis lays a foundation for characterising the stress-induced promoter elements, studying the relationship between the structure and function of the promoter, and investigating the molecular mechanism of CMO gene regulation.展开更多

Theinfluences of metal ions and pHof solution on the recognition performance of MIP were investigated. The bindingcharacteristics of MIP were evaluated by the Scatchard analysis with one-site and two-site binding equations, respectively. The results on substrate selectivity of imprinted polymer revealed that MIP had better binding affinityfor template among thetested compounds.展开更多

The adsorption-desorption behaviors of valonia tannin resin (VTR) were investigated under various initial Ag+ concentrations, solution temperatures, pH values etc. The applicability of empirical kinetic models was also studied. The pseudo-second-order model studies revealed the Ag+ sorption was very rapid. VT and VTR were characterized using FTIR and SEM before and after adsorption. The Ag+ biosorption on VTR increased with a rise in initial concentration of Ag+ and with a decrease in temperature. Desorption experiments were conducted at low pH values and the solutions of H2SO4, HNO3 and HCl were used for desorption. The VTR shows high adsorption capacity to Ag+ in a wide pH range of 2.0-7.0, and a maximum adsorption capacity of 97.08 mg/g was obtained at pH 5.0 and 296 K when the initial concentration of Ag+ was 100.0 mg/L. Ag+ ion desorption could reach 99.6% using 1 mol/L HCl+1% thiourea (NH2CSNH2) solution. By utilizing such characteristics of VTR, it is expected that it can be applied to recovering Ag+ efficiently and simply with low cost.展开更多

The use of preparative high pressure liquid chromatography allowed to isolate two flavonoids and a gallic tannins: Quercetine-3 O-β-D-glucuronide, kaempferol-30-β-D-glucuronide and 1, 2, 6 tri-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose. Identifications were carried out using spectroscopic methods. In addition, scavenger potential of these compounds was studied using DPPH test.展开更多

As a result, we confirm a palynomorph assemblage of Cicatri- cosisporites-Protoconiferus. The pollen was primarily from gymnosperms, dominated especially by conifer pollen. Pterido- phyte spores were less common and some questionable angiosperm pollen occurred occasionally. The age of the palynomorph assemblage is dated as the late Valanginian or Hauterivian-Barrernian stage, the Early Cretaceous. The study applies the con- cept of Palynological Vegetation based on palynological spectra and the paleoecological characteristics of palynological taxa for the first time. Palynological vegetation type, climatic zone type, and humidity type are divided quantitatively for the Zhuanchengzi Bed in the Yixian Formation of western Liaoning. We then obtained the evolutionary trends. The results showed that the overall climate was warm and humid during the deposition period of the Zhuanchengzi Bed in the Yixian Formation. Palynological vegetation types are various and include coniferous forest, deciduous broadleaf forest, evergreen broad-leaved forest, grass, and shrubs. The local temperature changed from warm to much warmer and from a semi-humid to humid climate. Palynological vegetation types are always dominated by coniferous forest. The coexistence of deciduous broad-leaved forest, evergreen broad-leaved forest, shrubs, grass, and some xerophytic plants indicates vertical zonation and seasonal climate change The vertical vegetation types and the warm humid climate may imply a large geomorphological contrast in the Yixian Formation of western Liaoning.展开更多
