Article Abstract
Paddy rice is a typical wetland plant species, and mercury (Hg) accumulation in this rice has received much attention over the last two decades. The role of root iron plaque on rice Hg accumulation is not well understood. The effects of iron plaque on Hg uptake, translocation, and volatilization in rice seedlings were investigated under hydroponic conditions using different rice genotypes. After induction of iron plaque on rice roots with pretreatment solutions containing 0, 15 and 30 mg FeL, rice seedlings were transplanted into specially designed airtight culture chambers, where roots were separated from the aerial parts and exposed to saturated Hg vapor. The results showed the following: (1) There were significant differences in the amount of iron plaque formed on the rice roots among the three genotypes. (2) A significant correlation was observed between the concentrations of Hg and Fe in the iron plaque of the root surface for the three genotypes (R = 0.933, p < 0.01). (3) Iron plaque may act as a barrier for Hg behavior, i.e., inhibiting the process of Hg uptake and translocation from the rhizosphere.

Rice is consumed by ∼50% of the global population, grown primarily in flooded paddy fields, and is susceptible to arsenic accumulation. Inorganic arsenic, particularly in reduced form (As(III)), is considered the most toxic and is more likely to accumulate in rice grains under flooded systems. We postulate that increased levels of highly reactive iron minerals, such as ferrihydrite, in paddy soils can regulate the bioavailability of arsenic and reduce its uptake by priming iron plaque formation.

Iron plaque (IP) on rice root surfaces has been extensively documented as a natural barrier that effectively reduces contaminant bioavailability and accumulation. However, its regulatory mechanisms in rhizospheric methane oxidation and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) remain elusive. This study reveals a previously unrecognized function of IP: mediating methanotrophic nitrogen fixation through coupled aerobic methane oxidation and IP reduction (Fe-MOX).

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical mediators of soil biogeochemical processes. While the production of ROS with biochar (BC) in the rhizosphere has not been explored. We demonstrate that BC and Fe-modified biochar (FeBC), prepared at 400°C and 600°C, influence ROS generation in paddy soil containing biodegradable (polybutylene succinate: PBS) and conventional (polystyrene) microplastics (MPs).

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the primary cause of mortality worldwide, is distinguished by the development of atherosclerotic plaques due to lipid accumulation in the artery wall, ultimately resulting in a range of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. In recent years, aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens), which possess the advantages of fluorescence enhancement in aggregated states, exceptional photostability, and finely tunable biocompatibility, have emerged as a promising candidate for the diagnosis and treatment of ASCVD. This review systematically summarizes the research advancements of AIEgens in ASCVD over the past five years, mainly including the properties of AIEgens and the design for ASCVD management, the application of AIEgens in ASCVD biomarkers sensing, imaging and treatment of ASCVD.

Background: Iron plaque on the rice rhizoplane could potentially prevent cadmium (Cd) entry into plant roots. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to study the morphological characteristics and mineral compositions of iron plaque, Cd immobilization mechanism by iron plaque, and its effect on Cd uptake and transport in rice.
Results: Exogenous divalent iron ion (Fe(II)) could induce the formation of deep-red iron plaque on rice rhizoplane, which primarily consisted of ferrihydrite, goethite, hematite, iron phosphate, and iron sulfate compounds.
