چکیده

Copper (Cu) accumulation in shoot and root tissues and low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOA) root exudation have been studied in two metallophytes from Central Chile (Oenothera affinis and Imperata condensata) and two agricultural plants (Lupinus albus and Helianthus annus) growing under hydroponics conditions at increasing Cu levels (0, 0.125, 0.250, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg Cu/L). The plants were grown in mineral solution for four weeks and after that in Cu-added solution for ten days, harvested and analyzed after this time. All the plant species showed high Cu accumulation, highlighting O. affinis with 116 and 2657 mg Cu/kg in shoots and roots, respectively. Strong differences in the LMWOA exudated by the different plant species were determined. O. affinis exudated high amounts of succinic acid, while I. condensata exuded citric and oxalic acids. Acid root exudations from agricultural plants were mainly composed by citric acid. This result suggests that LMWOA root exudates by metallophytes play an important role against high Cu levels in polluted soils, being an important factor for plant selection in the design and implementation of phytoremediation programs.

Synthesis of Different Copper Oxide Nano-Structures From Direct Thermal Decomposition of Porous Copper(ΙΙ) Metal-Organic Framework Precursors

Copper oxide nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via one-step solid-state thermolysis of two metal-organic frameworks, [Cu3(btc)2] (1) and [Cu(tpa).(dmf)] (2), (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, tpa = therephtalic acid = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid and dmf = dimethyl formamide) under air atmosphere at 400,  500, and 600°C. It has also been found that the reaction temperature pla...

Overexpression of malate dehydrogenase in transgenic alfalfa enhances organic acid synthesis and confers tolerance to aluminum.

Al toxicity is a severe impediment to production of many crops in acid soil. Toxicity can be reduced through lime application to raise soil pH, however this amendment does not remedy subsoil acidity, and liming may not always be practical or cost-effective. Addition of organic acids to plant nutrient solutions alleviates phytotoxic Al effects, presumably by chelating Al and rendering it less to...
