Effect of balanced application of boron and phosphorus fertilizers on soil bacterial community, seed yield and phosphoru...

Published in The Science of the total environment

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is extremely sensitive to both boron (B) and phosphorus (P) deficiencies. Application of chemical fertilizers is generally considered to be an effective agronomic practice to improve crop productivity, and it also affects soil bacterial community. However, there are few studies of the effects of balanced B and P fertili...

Boron reduces aluminum deposition in alkali-soluble pectin and cytoplasm to release aluminum toxicity.

Published in Journal of hazardous materials

Boron (B) is indispensable for plant growth and has been reported in the mitigation of aluminum (Al) toxicity in different plants. This study focused on the efficacy of B in reducing Al toxicity to trifoliate orange seedlings in a hydroponic experiment. Boron supply had a positive effect on root length and plant growth-related parameters and attenu...

GPR30 mediated effects of boron on rat spleen lymphocyte proliferation, apoptosis, and immune function.

Published in Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association

Supplementing different quantities of boron can significantly affect immune function in rat spleen, but the mechanism of action behind this effect remains unclear. Our purpose was to study the involvement of the estrogen membrane receptor GPR30 in the effect of boron on the proliferation, apoptosis, and immune function of rat spleen lymphocytes. Re...

Assessment of Curcuma longa extract for adulteration with synthetic curcumin by analytical investigations.

Published in Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis

"Curcumin (CUR)" is the principal active phytoconstituent present in Curcuma longa (CL), also known as Turmeric, is a popular natural product used in food and dietary supplements industries. For economic advantage, CUR is manufactured synthetically. The synthetic curcumin (SC) could be mislabeled, mistaken, or mixed with natural origin CL or CL ext...

Synthesis of metaettringite from blast furnace slag and evaluation of its boron adsorption ability.

Published in Environmental science and pollution research international

Blast furnace slag (BFS) is generated as a by-product in the ironmaking process, and hence, the development of a recycling system for BFS waste is important. In this study, the calcium component of BFS obtained from a steel company in Japan was successfully used as raw material of the synthesis of metaettringite. Metaettringite has been recently co...

Kinetic Resolution of alpha-Silyl-Substituted Allylboronate Esters via Chemo- and Stereoselective Allylboration of Aldeh...

We describe the kinetic resolution of alpha-silyl-substituted allylboronate esters via chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed chemo-, diastereo- and enantioselective allylboration of aldehydes. This process provides two synthetically versatile enantioenriched compounds, (Z)-delta-silyl-substituted anti-homoallylic alcohols and alpha-silyl-substituted all...

Diborane Concatenation Leads to New Planar Boron Chemistry.

Published in Chemphyschem : a European journal of chemical physics and physical chemistry

Diborane has long been realized to be analogous to ethylene in terms of its bonding MOs, both as to symmetries and splitting patterns. This naturally suggests an investigation to see whether other similar conjugated hydrocarbons manifest a similar boron-substituted and H2 supplemented borane. That is, for a conjugated hydrocarbon structure with a n...

Hydroxyl radical dominated elimination of plasticizers by peroxymonosulfate on metal-free boron: Kinetics and mechanisms...

Published in Water research

Plasticizer pollution in drinking water and aquatic systems has raised global concerns due to the lasting and chronic hazards to marine life and public health. Metal-free materials are promising as green catalysts for wastewater purification. In this study, amorphous boron was applied as a metal-free activator to decompose peroxymonosulfate (PMS) f...

Nutritional relationships in bitter pit-affected fruit and the feasibility of Vis-NIR models to determine calcium concen...

Fuji is among the most cultivated apples worldwide but affected by the disorder bitter pit (BP). Calcium deficiency plays an important role on fruit susceptibility to BP. The objectives of this study were to determine nutritional relationships in BP-affected fruit and to verify if Vis-NIR models can predict Ca concentration in Fuji apples. Fruit wa...
