Article Abstract

Plant transpiration is controlled by stomata, with S- and R-type anion channels playing key roles in guard cell action. Arabidopsis mutants lacking the ALMT12/QUAC1 R-type anion channel function in guard cells show only a partial reduction in R-type channel currents. The molecular nature of these remaining R-type anion currents is still unclear. To further elucidate this, patch clamp, transcript and gas-exchange measurements were performed with wild-type (WT) and different almt mutant plants. The R-type current fraction in the almt12 mutant exhibited the same voltage dependence, susceptibility to ATP block and lacked a chloride permeability as the WT. Therefore, we asked whether the R-type anion currents in the ALMT12/QUAC1-free mutant are caused by additional ALMT isoforms. In WT guard cells, ALMT12, ALMT13 and ALMT14 transcripts were detected, whereas only ALMT13 was found expressed in the almt12 mutant. Substantial R-type anion currents still remained active in the almt12/13 and almt12/14 double mutants as well as the almt12/13/14 triple mutant. In good agreement, CO -triggered stomatal closure required the activity of ALMT12 but not ALMT13 or ALMT14. The results suggest that, with the exception of ALMT12, channel species other than ALMTs carry the guard cell R-type anion currents.

Groundwater, a predominant reservoir of freshwater, plays a critical role in providing a sustainable potable water and water for agricultural and industry uses in the In Salah desert region of Algeria. This research collected 82 underground water samples from Albian aquifers to assess water quality and identify hydrogeochemical processes influencing mineralization. To achieve this objective, various methods were employed to evaluate water quality based on its intended uses.

Identification and characterization of disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors could help optimize drinking water treatment processes and improve the quality of finished water. This study comprehensively investigated the characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM), the hydrophilicity and molecule weight (MW) of DBP precursor and DBP-associated toxicity along the typical full-scale treatment processes. The results showed that dissolved organic carbon and dissolved organic nitrogen content, the fluorescence intensity and the SUVA value in raw water significantly decreased after the whole treatment processes.

The integration of UV/sulfite autoxidation process (USAP, i.e., UV activation of sulfite in the presence of 5 ∼ 10 mg/L O) into conventional water to degrade micropollutants rises extensive attention, but its impact on water quality, and especially the formation of disinfection byproducts is still unclear.

To explore the mechanism of silver and rhodium catalysis and reveal the origin of the chemo- and enantioselectivity of the reaction, density functional theory calculations were performed on the first silver-catalyzed highly enantioselective carbene transfer reaction. The calculation results reveal that when silver is used as a catalyst, due to the participation of the phosphate anion in the transition state, the enhanced nucleophilicity of the α-diazoacetamide unit promotes smooth dearomatization before generation of the silver carbene. Because the generated rhodium carbene has stronger electrophilicity, typical carbene reactions (C-H insertion and the Büchner reaction) are favored.
