The impact of multi-marine intertidal service on the durability of concrete repair materials by Zhiqiang Cui, Yuanbei Li, Qizheng Bao, Yong Chen, Qiang Xu, Yunqing He, Fangzheng Wu

“…In contrast, at Zhoushan (a subtropical marine climate), the properties of all four materials significantly declined due to factors such as large tidal range, high flow velocity, and high sediment concentration, with flexural strength being particularly affected. Although XRD analysis revealed the dissolution of struvite in the surface layer, magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) maintained the highest compressive strength and lowest chloride penetration depth. …”

Jasmonic acid improves cadmium tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa) by reducing the production of nitric oxide by Ji Bo Yang, Hao Yu Wang, Jing Huang, Chuan Jin Shan, Jing Yan, Chong Wei Zhong, Die Hu, Qiang Zhang, Ren Fang Shen, Xiao Fang Zhu, Da Li Zeng

“…In this study, exposure to Cd stress rapidly elevated endogenous JA concentrations in rice roots, meanwhile, a mutant coleoptile photomorphogenesis 2 (cpm2) which produces less JA, was more sensitive to Cd stress than its wild type (WT). JA mitigated Cd toxicity by decreasing Cd absorption in root cell wall and shoot, which was achieved by up-regulating the expression of the Cd-chelation and efflux-related genes such as OsHMA3, OsABCG36 and OsCAL1; down-regulating the transcript level of the Cd uptake and translocation-related genes, including OsHMA2, OsCCX2, OsNRAMP1/5, and OsZIP5/7. …”
