| 2 | Preparation and antioxidant activity of albumin binding Salen Schiff-base metal complexes显示文摘A kind of novel biopolymer antioxidant (BSA/HOSalenM, M=Co, Mn, Zn) is prepared with conjugation, which increases the antioxidant activity of the bovine serum albumin (BSA). The conjugations have been characterized by IR spectra, UV-Vis spectra, Fluorescence spectra, Circular dichroism (CD) spectra and Native-PAGE. The BSA is used as a biopolymer scaffold, and the insoluble Salen Schiff-base metal complexes HOSalenM make axial coordination with the amino acid residues of the BSA. The structure of the BSA is unchanged when the binding rate of HOSalenCo is less than 10. The HOSalenCo conjugations show an excellent hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging activity, and the activity (EC50 ) of BSA/HOSalenCo(10) (BSA : HOSalenCo=1 : 10) is improved by two orders of magnitude compared with the BSA, while the activity of the BSA/HOSalenMn is weak and the BSA/HOSalenZn shows no scavenging activity. | LI Gang ZHANG HuiFang WANG RongMin HE YuFeng XIONG YuBing | 2013 | Chinese Science Bulletin2013,58,24: | 1 |
| 3 | Biochar and organic substitution improved net ecosystem economic benefit in intensive vegetable production显示文摘Biochar amendment and substituting chemical fertilizers with organic manure(organic substitution)have been widely reported to increase crop production and decrease reactive nitrogen(Nr)loss including nitrous oxide(N_(2)O),nitric oxide(NO),and ammonia(NH3)emissions,and N runoff and leaching.However,few comprehensive evalua-tions have been performed on the environmental and economic aspects of biochar amendment or organic sub-stitution.Here,we studied the comprehensive effects of biochar amendment,organic substitution,and biochar amendment combined with organic substitution on crop production,Nr loss,and net ecosystem economic benefit(NEEB)in intensive vegetable production by integrating life-cycle assessment for Nr footprints,empirical models for NH3 volatilization and N runoff and leaching derived from peer-reviewed publications and validated by the current measurements and direct field measurement for N_(2)O and NO emissions during 5 consecutive years of vegetable crop rotations.Five fertilization treatments were applied(SN:synthetic fertilizer application;SNB:SN plus 20 t ha^(−1)biochar amendment;SNM:substituting 50%of chemical N fertilizer with organic manure;SNMB:SNM plus 20 t ha^(−1)biochar amendment;and CK:no fertilizer or biochar addition).Compared with the SN,the SNB increased vegetable yield(28.4%,p<0.05;interannually varying from−10 to 74.9%)and nitrogen use efficiency(29.2%,interannually varying from−39.7 to 150.4%),and decreased field Nr loss(45.4%,p<0.01;interannually varying from−40.3 to 78.4%),and thus improved NEEB by 7.1%;meanwhile,the SNM increased vegetable yield(11.6%,interannually varying from−5.4 to 27.1%)and nitrogen use efficiency(45.7%,p<0.05;interannually varying from 2.3 to 154%),reduced field Nr loss(34.9%,p<0.01;interannually varying from 8.4-39.0%),and thus improved NEEB by 17.8%(p<0.05)compared to the SN,being 56.0×10^(3)Chinese Yuan(CNY)ha^(−1)crop^(−1).Due to the high foreground Nr loss during organic manure production and high input costs of biochar production,the SNMB decreased the NEEB by 8.0%as compared to the SN.Moreover,the SNB and SNM improved vegetable qualities by increasing protein,soluble sugar,and vitamin C contents while decreasing nitrate content(p<0.05).Therefore,single application of biochar amendment or organic substitution would achieve better NEEB and product quality in vegetable production. | Ruiyu Bi Qianqian Zhang Liping Zhan Xintong Xu Xi Zhang Yubing Dong Xiaoyuan Yan Zhengqin Xiong | 2022 | Biochar2022,4,1: | 0 |
