Aseptic Seedling and Rapid Propagation of Ludisia discolor

[Objective] This study was conducted to establish a system for aseptic seeding and rapid propagation of a wild Chinese herbal medicine Ludisia discolor. [Method] The seeds of L. discolor were germinated in four different culture media MS, 1/2MS, Hyponex No.1 （3.0 g/L）, and 1/2 Hyponex No.1 （1.5 g/L）, and the ger- mination rate was calculated 80 d later to select the optimal medium for seed ger- mination of L. discolor. Then, by culturing the protocorms and buds of L. discolor in the media supplemented with different hormone combinations （6-BA and NAA） or organic substrates （potato juice, banana juice and coconut milk）, the optimal medi- um compositions for multiplication and .differentiation, seedling hardening and rooting of L. discolor were respectively determined. [Result] After 80 d of dark culture, 86.67% of the seeds inoculated into the medium 1/2 Hyponex No.1 germinated and developed into protocorms, proving 1/2 Hyponex No.1 was most suitable for seed germination of L. discolor among the four basic media, while MS medium had the worst effects. In culture medium of 1/2 Hyponex No.1＋2.0 mg/L 6-BA＋100 ml/L co- conut milk supplemented with 0.4 or 0.6 mg/L NAA, a mixed body of protocorms and small buds were induced after being cultured for 45 d, and the multiplication rate was 6.11, which was higher than that in the medium supplied with 0.2 or 0.8 mg/L NAA. By adding 10% potato juice, 10% banana juice or 100 ml/L coconut milk into Hyponex No.1＋1.0 mg/L NAA, it was found that 10% banana juice had better effects in hardening and rooting of L. discolor planlets than 10% potato juice and 100 ml/L coconut milk. The small buds grew into plantlets about 80 d later in the medium with banana juice, the rooting rate was 93.33%, and the plantlet height was 7.19 cm. After hardening-culture for 10 d in a greenhouse, the L. discolor plantlets were transplanted into the mixed matrix of peat soil and lava （at a ratio of 3：1）, and 91.7% of them survived 60 d later. [Conclusion] A relatively perfect propa- gation system of L. discolor was established by using aseptic seeds as explants in this study, which can be used for the protection of L. discolor germplasm resources, seedling propagation and industrial development.

Phosphate-Solubilizing and -Mineralizing Abilities of Bacteria Isolated from Soils

Microorganisms capable of solubilizing and mineralizing phosphorus （P） pools in soils are considered vital in promoting P bioavallability. The study was conducted to screen and isolate inorganic P-solubilizing bacteria （IPSB） and organic P-mineralizing bacteria （OPMB） in soils taken from subtropical flooded and temperate non-flooded soils, and to compare inorganic P-solubilizing and organic P-solubilizing abilities between IPSB and OPMB. Ten OPMB strains were isolated and identified as Bacillus cereus and Bacillus megaterium, and five IPSB strains as B. megaterium, Burkholderia caryophyUi, Pseudomonas cichorii, and Pseudomonas syringae. P-solubilizing and -mineralizing abilities of the strains were measured using the methods taking cellular P into account. The IPSB strains exhibited inorganic P-solubilizing abilities ranging between 25.4-41.7 μg P mL^-1 and organic P-mineralizing abilities between 8.2-17.8μg P mL^-1. Each of the OPMB strains also exhibited both solubilizing and mineralizing abilities varying from 4.4 to 26.5 μg P mL^-1 and from 13.8 to 62.8 μg P mL^-1, respectively. For both IPSB and OPMB strains, most of the P mineralized from the organic P source was incorporated into the bacterial cells as cellular P. A significantly negative linear correlation （P 〈 0.05） was found between culture pH and P solubilized from inorganic P by OPMB strains. The results suggested that P solubilization and mineralization could coexist in the same bacterial strain.

Adsorption of Environmental Pollutants on Pillared Montmorillonite

Both inorganic and organic pillared montmorillonites were used to adsorb phenol. Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of equilibrium time and pH on adsorption of phe- nol by montmorillonites and re-adsorbing characteristics of pillared montmorillonites. The adsorption of phenol increased with increasing solution pH values. The elimination ratio of phenol from the solution by the absorption of organic modified pillared montmorillonite (OrPMt) reached equilibrium quickly after vibrating for 5 minutes. Meanwhile for organic montmorillonite (OrMt), pillared montmorillonite (PMt) and montmorillonite (Mt), the time to reach phenol-absorption equilibrium were 20, 30 and 90 minutes, respectively. The adsorbing capacity of the pillared montmorillonite modified with surfactant improved greatly. The phenol-adsorbing capacity of pillared molltmorillonites mainly depended on microporous structure and surface component of the modified clays. After calcination at 500 ℃, the pillar structure and the basal spacing (1.83 um) were still stable. So the pillared montmorillonite could be recycled, and it was a potential material for adsorbing environmental pollutants.

Preparation and Characterization of Hybrid Aqueous Dispersions Composed of Silica Sol and Poly(styrene-co-acrylate)

A stable silica sol with 3-5 nm in diameter, which can form homogeneous film without crack, was prepared and characterized. Then, the inorganic-organic hybrid aqueous dispersion composed of such a silica sol and an emulsion of styrene （St） and acrylate （Ac） copolymer was prepared and the hybrid effect between the silica sol and poly（St-co-Ac） was observed by Fourier transform infra-red （FT-IR） spectroscope. The toughness of the film prepared by this kind of hybrid aqueous dispersion was excellent, as it was enhanced appreciably by commixing with a small amount of poly（St-co-Ac） emulsion. Some amino-polysiloxane modified hybrid aqueous dispersions were also prepared and the properties of the modified dispersions and their films were investigated. The experimental results showed that the film prepared with such an amino-polysiloxane modified hybrid dispersion exhibited excellent hydrophobicity and low surface energy after heat treatment for 1.5 h, during which the formation of the graft copolymer was observed. The surface energy of this film decreases as a result of the enrichment of siloxane segments on the film surface.

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(St-co-BA) Latex with an Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Compound as Emulsifier

A poly (St-co-BA) latex was successfully synthesized by using an organic-inorganic hybrid compound (OIHC), an aliphatic carboxylate sodium/nano-silica composite, as the emulsifier, and investigated by particle size analyzer, transmission electron microscope (TEM), optical contact angle measurement (OCA) and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). It was found that the protective agent, sodium polyacrylate (PA),could obviously improve the polymerization stability and the functional monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), could enhance the store stability of the latex. The particle size of poly(St-co-BA) latex decreased and then leveled off as OIHC content increased. TEM shows that the prepared polymers were actually organic-inorganic nanocomposites, and these films have better waterproof property than those prepared by traditional poly(St-co-BA) latex or organic silicone modified poly(St-co-BA) latex. The nanocomposite polymer has much higher glass transition temperature than organic silicone modified poly(St-co-BA) polymer containing the same organic silicone content.

Simultaneous Determination of PIP and POP in Seawater

A method for simultaneous determination of particulate inorganic phosphorus (PIP) and particulate organic phosphorus (POP) in seawater was improved. After using cellulose acetate membrane to filter the seawater samples and washing the membrane with 1mol/L hydrochloric acid, PIP was extracted into hydrochloric acid phase and POP was left on the membrane. POP was oxygenated at 120℃, 0.12MPa with potassium persulphate. Phosphomolybdate blue spectrophotometry was used in the determination. The proper volume of seawater sample for simultaneously determining PIP and POP was 100-150ml, containing PIP≥0.27μg, POP≥0.69μg. Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) of the determination of PIP and POP was 5.8% and 4.3% respectively. This method was used to determine POP and PIP in the surface water of Huiquan Bay, Qingdao, China. PIP content there averaged at 69.0μg/L and POP at 3.3μg/L. PIP is the main form (>93%) of particulate phosphorus (PP). Maximum PIP coincided with flood tide, indicating that PIP mainly originated from disturbance of surface sediments. At the offshore area, maximum of PIP appeared at flood tide and minimum of PIP appeared at ebb-tide. The maximum of POP presented at about 10:00am, which suggests that POP is closely related to biological metabolism. The control factor of POP in seawater was concluded to be biological metabolization.

Selenium （Se） is an important element from the environmental and biological point of view. In the world, deficiency of Se in a diet occurs more often and nutritional supplements are recommended.The ability of several plants to accumulate and transform inorganic Se forms into its bioactive organic compounds has important implications for human nutrition and health. This work gives a brief overview of the study carried out to characterize Se species produced by different enriched edible plants which were grown in the presence of different Se species.

In this paper, the radiation graft copolymer of MgO, SiO2 and-Y- molecularsieve onto organic compounds, such as methacrylate, styrene and acrylonitrile obtained by per-rndiation method were characterized by X- ray diffraction, pyrolysis gas chromatography, GPC and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Composition and Structural Features of Calcium—Bound and Iron—and Aluminium—Bound Humus in Soils

Calcium-bound and iron-and aluminium-bound humus extracted from different soils collected from north to south of China were characterized by chemical and spectroscopic methods. Meaningful differences in the composition and structure between them were revealed by (13)C NMR, visible spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Results showed that the contents of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen were higher in iron-and aluminium-bound humus than in calcium-bound humus while oxygen content in calcium-bound humus was shown to be higher. The calcium-bound humus had hasher C/N and O/C ratios than iron- and aluminumbound humus. The calcium-bound humic acid (HA1) showed higher E4/E6 ratios than iron- and aluminumbound humic acid (HA2) while iron- and aluminum-bound pulvic acid (FA2) showed higher E4/E6 ratios than calcium-bound fulvic acid (PA1). An inverse relationship between E4/E6 ratios and aromaticity as determined by (13)C NMR spectra was observed for HA and FA from black soil. The (13)C NMR spectroscopy revealed that HA2 was more aromatic than HA1. On the other hand, FA1 exhibited a higher aromaticitythan FA2.

Inorganic and Organic Compounds of Freshwater Filamentous Cyanobacteria under Normal and Salt Stress Conditions

The main aim of this work was to investigate the effects of salt stress conditions on the inorganic and organic compounds of extracts from six filamentous cyanobacteria： Arthospira platensis, Oscillatoria sp., Oscillatoria salina, Tolypothrix sp., Oscillatoria sp. SWU （Srinakharinwirot University）121 and Tolypothrix sp. SWU213. All cyanobacteria were cultures in BG （blue-green algae）11 medium： pH 7.5 at 35 ℃ for 30 days of sodium chloride in the culture medium presented 0-1.0 M. The cyanobacteria isolates grew well in BGH medium, nevertheless, growth of the majority of isolates was reduced by about 50% in the same medium containing 0.5 M NaCl. The inorganic compounds such as, Na^＋, K^＋, Ca^2＋, Mg^2＋, NH4^＋ and NO3^- were determined. All ions were reduced when NaCI was increased and Na^＋ showed highest amount in the medium followed with Mg^2＋, NH4^＋, NO3^- and Ca^2＋ in all cyanobaeteria. The organic compounds such as, betaine, proline and total lipid were determined under normal and salt stress conditions. We found that all cyanobacteria increased interesting organic compound under salt stress condition at least two folds to compare with normal condition. This is the first finding indicated that freshwater filamentous cyanobacteria could grow under salt stresses by accumulation of some organic compounds as osmoprotectants such as betaine and amino acids, being the reduction related to the amount of inorganies compounds present in cultures.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL SOL-GEL DOPED ORGANIC/INORGANIC HYBRID NONLINEAR OPTICAL MATERIALS

hydroxy-4-nitro azobenzene (NHA) and 4-amino-4-nitro azobenzene (DO3) were prepared respectively from p-nitrophenylamine as a precursor compound. Two kinds of doped organic/inorganic hybrid nonlinear optical (NLO) materials containing NHA and DO3 were synthesized by Sol-Gel process. The preparation and properties of two NLO materials were studied and characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, UV-VIS, SEM, DSC and SHG measurements. The results show that the maximum doping amounts of NHA and DO3 in two doped hybrid NLO materials are 7.2(wt)% and 11.3(wt)% respectively, and the corresponding second-order NLO coefficients (d33 values) are 2.91×10 8esu and 6.14×10 8esu. Two doped NLO materials have relatively good RT stability, after 90 days at RT the d33 values can maintain about 85% of their initial values, but after 10h at 100℃ can only maintain about 50% of their initial values. In this report, the reasons for high-temperature instability of doped materials were discussed, and the possible improvements were also suggested.

Biochar for Soil Management： Effect on Soil Available N and Soil Water Storage

Soil management technologies for climate change adaptation and mitigation are needed to increase and sustain food production in smallholder agriculture while sequestering inert carbon in the soil. In a field studies at Crops Research Institute, Kwadaso-Kumasi Ghana, a control treatment, five inorganic fertilizer combinations （P30K60, N60P30K60, N120P30K60, NlsoP30K60 and N24oP3oK6o） and four biochar rates ＋ inorganic fertilizer （2 t/ha Biochar ＋ N60P30K60, 4 t/ha Biochar ＋ N60P30K60, 6 t/ha Biochar ＋ N6oP3oK6o and 8 t/ha Biochar ＋N6oP3oK6o） were assessed for their effect on soil moisture storage, soil available nitrogen and crop yield. The test crop was okra. Biochar amendments increased soil moisture storage by 14% relative to sole inorganic fertilizer applications. Biochar ＋ inorganic fertilizer relative to sole inorganic fertilizer increased soil available nitrate concentration by 85% at 0-15 cm soil depth but decreased soil ammonium-N by 71%. Compared to control, inorganic fertilizer （P3oK6o） resulted in more than 100% increase in okra fresh fruit yield. Addition of 60 kg N/ha to P3oK6o caused 23% decline in okra fresh fruit yield but showed 60% more okra fresh fruit yield than the control. Inorganic N rates of 120,180 kg N/ha and 240 kg N/ha combined with P3oK6o however caused a decline of 74% in okra fresh fruit yield. Biochar ＋ inorganic fertilizer increased okra fresh fruit yield by 100% compared to sole inorganic fertilizer. Biochar, an inert carbon, combined with inorganic fertilizer has tremendous potential to address food insecurity through soil moisture storage and soil N availability.

Polarized Electronic Spectra of Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials of Chiral Schiff Base Ni（ll） or Cu（ll） Complexes and Disperse Red 1 or Azobenzene in PMMA Films

We have prepared new chiral Schiff base complexes, and copper（Ⅱ） （2） to investigate steric effect of ligands for 1 and bis（N-R-l-phenylethyl-5- methoxysalicydenaminato） nickel（Ⅱ） （1） 2 and known bis（N-R-l-phenylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato） nickel（Ⅱ） （3） and copper（Ⅱ） （4）. By using two kinds of photochromic dyes, disperse red 1 （DRI） and azobenzene （AZ）, we investigated the efficiency of increasing optical anisotropy of organic/inorganic hybrid materials of 1 through 4＋AZ or DRI＋PMMA in polymethylmethacrylate （PMMA） cast films by Weigert effect （and compared with cis-trans isomerization by alternate UV and visible light for 3 and 4 to previous study）. Gradual increase of optical anisotropy was observed for all the hybrid materials regardless of flexibility of Schiff base complexes, and the degree of dichroism and weak intermolecular interactions were discussed based on polarized absorption electronic spectra.

A new organic-inorganic hybrid material [Na6(H2O)16(dod)2V10O28] (dod = 1,4- diazoniabicyclo[2,2,2]octane-1,4-diacetate) has been synthesized and X-ray single-crystal structural analysis reveals it crystallizes in triclinic, space group P with a = 11.533(7), b = 12.031(7), c = 12.187(4) ? a = 72.47(1), b = 73.16(1), g = 68.21(1)o, C20H64N4Na6O52V10, V = 1467(1) ?, Z = 1, Mr = 1840.1, Dc = 2.083 g/cm3, MoKa, l = 0.71073 ? m = 1.686, F(000) = 924, S = 1.027, the final R = 0.0538 and wR = 0.1272 for 4398 observed reflections. The compound has a three-dimensional frame- work constructed from decavanadate clusters, NaO chains and dod ligands. A variety of OH…O and CH…O hydrogen bonds play an important role in stabilizing the framework.

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on Solidago canadensis growth are independent of nitrogen form

Aims Invasive plants may alter soil fungal communities in a way that improves their growth.Nitrogen(N)content of soil affects the symbiosis between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF),further determining plant growth.Yet,it is unclear whether altered AMF communities change the dependence of invasive and native species on N-form,and whether N forms alter the invasive plant–AMF interaction(PSIM).Methods Two synthetic plant communities,including four Solidago canadensis individuals and four native plant species,were inoculated with AMF spores from S.canadensis-invaded soils and adjacent non-invaded soils,and were provided with nitrate,ammonia or glutamate.After their growth,the performance of the two plant communities in treatments of AMF origin and N forms,and the pathways of the N forms affecting S.canadensis growth and PSIM were evaluated.Important Findings Solidago canadensis had no obvious N-form dependence in any of the AMF inoculations.Native plant species showed weak N-form dependence,but invasive AMF could remove their N-form dependence.In the absence of N,AMF did not affect growth of S.canadensis and the native plants.In contrast,with N addition,invasive AMF significantly increased belowground and total biomass of the invasive plants but not those of the native plants.Positive PSIM of S.canadensis was also evidently greater than that of native plant species and was realized through directly or indirectly regulating phenotypic traits including plant height,leaf number and number of rhizomes.Our findings emphasize the importance of plant–AMF interactions and a unique N-acquisition strategy during plant invasions.

Recent advances in the development of organic photothermal nano-agents

Recently, photothermal therapy （PTT） has attracted tremendous attention because of its high efficacy in tumor ablation and minimal damage to normal tissues. While many inorganic nanomaterials, especially various gold nanostructures and nanocarbons, have been extensively explored for near-infrared （NIR） light triggered PTT in the past decade, a variety of organic photothermal agents have also emerged in recent years, aiming at replacing their inorganic counterparts which usually are not biodegradable. In this mini-review, we will summarize several typical classes of recently developed NIR-absorbing organic PTT nano- agents, which include NIR dye-containing micelles, porphysomes, protein-based agents, conjugated polymers, and organic/inorganic nanocomposites. The development of imaging-guided PTT and combination therapy will be introduced as well. Finally, the perspectives and challenges in the future development of PTT will be discussed.
