Freshly prepared pea thylakoid membranes were immobilized in bovine serum albumin-glutaraldehyde cross-linked matrix (BSA-GA matrix) and their stability under long term storage was analyzed by Pulse-Amplitude-Modulated (PAM) chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthetic oxygen evolution measured by oxygen rate electrode. The thylakoid membranes stored at 4 °C showed prolonged stability in BSA-GA matrix and additional adsorption on nitrocellulose membrane filters gave them more stability. The sensitivity of the parameters of the oxygen evolution of thylakoid membranes to atrazine increased with immobilization. The half-inhibition time for oxygen evolution and quantum efficiency of photosynthesis could be prolonged to more than 15 days. These results suggest that the immobilized thylakoid membranes in BSA-GA matrix can be used as biological receptor in biosensors for a long period of time (up to 25 days) applying the proposed new method for atrazine detection by using polarographic oxygen rate electrode. This method is more sensitive, faster and easier to use than other methods for detection of herbicides based on determination of the photochemical activity of photosystem II. 相似文献

Three aspects of producing hydrogen via renewable electricity sources are analyzed to determine the potential for solar and wind hydrogen production pathways: a renewable hydrogen resource assessment, a cost analysis of hydrogen production via electrolysis, and the annual energy requirements of producing hydrogen for refueling. The results indicate that ample resources exist to produce transportation fuel from wind and solar power. However, hydrogen prices are highly dependent on electricity prices. For renewables to produce hydrogen at $2 kg−1, using electrolyzers available in 2004, electricity prices would have to be less than $0.01 kWh−1. Additionally, energy requirements for hydrogen refueling stations are in excess of 20 GWh/year. It may be challenging for dedicated renewable systems at the filling station to meet such requirements. Therefore, while plentiful resources exist to provide clean electricity for the production of hydrogen for transportation fuel, challenges remain to identify optimum economic and technical configurations to provide renewable energy to distributed hydrogen refueling stations. 相似文献

Liquid chromatography Orbitrap mass spectrometry method for quantification of biological aminothiols (cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione) in cereal products has been developed. The assay is based on preliminary derivatization with N-(2-acridonyl)maleimide and high resolution accurate mass spectrometry with utilization of dl-Homocystine-3,3,3′,3′,4,4,4′,4′-d8 (homocystine-d8) as internal standard. The limits of quantification for homocysteine, cysteine, and glutathione are 19.44, 40.78, and 338.93 pg, respectively, per 10 μl injection. Intra- and inter-day precision expressed as relative standard deviations are in the range of 1.76 to 2.94 % and 1.06 to 4.13 %, respectively. The average recoveries were 98 % for Hcy, 87 % for Cys, and 92 % for GSH. Wheat, maize, and bakery products with different origin were analyzed. The content of Hcy in the investigated samples was found to be in range of 9–436 μg/100 g, Cys in range of 29–6,895 μg/100 g and GSH in range of 259–14,795 μg/100 g. 相似文献

Five-day exposure of clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) to 100 μM cadmium (Cd) in hydroponics was sufficient to increase Cd concentrations significantly in roots and aboveground parts and affect negatively whole plant levels of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), since Cd competes for Ca channels, while reduced Mg concentrations are associated with increased Cd tolerance. Total zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) uptake increased but their translocation to the aboveground parts decreased. Despite the substantial levels of Cd in leaves, without any observed defects on chloroplast ultrastructure, an enhanced photosystem II (PSII) efficiency was observed, with a higher fraction of absorbed light energy to be directed to photochemistry (ΦPSΙΙ). The concomitant increase in the photoprotective mechanism of non-photochemical quenching of photosynthesis (NPQ) resulted in an important decrease in the dissipated non-regulated energy (ΦNO), modifying the homeostasis of reactive oxygen species (ROS), through a decreased singlet oxygen (1O2) formation. A basal ROS level was detected in control plant leaves for optimal growth, while a low increased level of ROS under 5 days Cd exposure seemed to be beneficial for triggering defense responses, and a high level of ROS out of the boundaries (8 days Cd exposure), was harmful to plants. Thus, when clary sage was exposed to Cd for a short period, tolerance mechanisms were triggered. However, exposure to a combination of Cd and high light or to Cd alone (8 days) resulted in an inhibition of PSII functionality, indicating Cd toxicity. Thus, the rapid activation of PSII functionality at short time exposure and the inhibition at longer duration suggests a hormetic response and describes these effects in terms of “adaptive response” and “toxicity”, respectively. 相似文献

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is one of the most potent vasoconstrictors known to date. While its plasma or serum concentrations are elevated in some forms of experimental and human hypertension, this is not a consistent finding in all forms of hypertension. Matrix metalloproteinases -2 and -9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9), which degrade collagen type IV of the vascular basement membrane, are responsible for vascular remodeling, inflammation, and atherosclerotic complications, including in type 2 diabetes (T2D). In our study, we compared concentrations of ET-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in pre-hypertensive (PHTN) and hypertensive (HTN) T2D patients with those of healthy normotensive controls (N). ET-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 were measured by ELISA. Concentrations of ET-1 in PHTN and N were very similar, while those in HTN were significantly higher. Concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in PHTN and HTN were also significantly higher compared to N. An interesting result in our study is that concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in HTN were lower compared to PHTN. In conclusion, we showed that increased production of ET-1 in patients with T2D can lead to long-lasting increases in blood pressure (BP) and clinical manifestation of hypertension. We also demonstrated that increased levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in pre-hypertensive and hypertensive patients with T2D mainly reflect the early vascular changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. 相似文献

Increasing the level of spacecraft autonomy is essential for broadening the reach of solar system exploration. Computer vision
has and will continue to play an important role in increasing autonomy of both spacecraft and Earth-based robotic vehicles.
This article addresses progress on computer vision for planetary rovers and landers and has four main parts. First, we review
major milestones in the development of computer vision for robotic vehicles over the last four decades. Since research on
applications for Earth and space has often been closely intertwined, the review includes elements of both. Second, we summarize
the design and performance of computer vision algorithms used on Mars in the NASA/JPL Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission,
which was a major step forward in the use of computer vision in space. These algorithms did stereo vision and visual odometry
for rover navigation and feature tracking for horizontal velocity estimation for the landers. Third, we summarize ongoing
research to improve vision systems for planetary rovers, which includes various aspects of noise reduction, FPGA implementation,
and vision-based slip perception. Finally, we briefly survey other opportunities for computer vision to impact rovers, landers,
and orbiters in future solar system exploration missions. 相似文献

Belowground interactions of plants with other organisms in the rhizosphere rely on extensive small-molecule communication. Chemical signals released from host plant roots ensure the development of beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi which in turn modulate host plant growth and stress tolerance. However, parasitic plants have adopted the capacity to sense the same signaling molecules and to trigger their own seed germination in the immediate vicinity of host roots. The contribution of AM fungi and parasitic plants to the regulation of phytohormone levels in host plant roots and root exudates remains largely obscure. Here, we studied the hormonome in the model system comprising tobacco as a host plant, Phelipanche spp. as a holoparasitic plant, and the AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis. Co-cultivation of tobacco with broomrape and AM fungi alone or in combination led to characteristic changes in the levels of endogenous and exuded abscisic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinins, salicylic acid, and orobanchol-type strigolactones. The hormonal content in exudates of broomrape-infested mycorrhizal roots resembled that in exudates of infested non-mycorrhizal roots and differed from that observed in exudates of non-infested mycorrhizal roots. Moreover, we observed a significant reduction in AM colonization of infested tobacco plants, pointing to a dominant role of the holoparasite within the tripartite system. 相似文献

The properties of 2D InN are predicted to substantially differ from the bulk crystal. The predicted appealing properties relate to strong in‐ and out‐of‐plane excitons, high electron mobility, efficient strain engineering of their electronic and optical properties, and strong application potential in gas sensing. Until now, the realization of 2D InN remained elusive. In this work, the formation of 2D InN and measurements of its bandgap are reported. Bilayer InN is formed between graphene and SiC by an intercalation process in metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The thickness uniformity of the intercalated structure is investigated by conductive atomic force microscopy (C‐AFM) and the structural properties by atomic resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The coverage of the SiC surface is very high, above 90%, and a major part of the intercalated structure is represented by two sub‐layers of indium (In) bonded to nitrogen (N). Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements give a bandgap value of 2 ± 0.1 eV for the 2D InN. The stabilization of 2D InN with a pragmatic wide bandgap and high lateral uniformity of intercalation is demonstrated. 相似文献
