多种农药与次氯酸钠、高锰酸钾和高铁酸钾的反应活性

为探究4类,10种广泛使用的农药(苯氧羧酸类,芳香酸类,取代脲类和烟碱类)与3种氧化剂(次氯酸钠,高锰酸钾和高铁酸钾)的反应活性,本研究在温度(25±2)℃、pH值为8的条件下,分析10种农药分别与3种氧化剂NaClO、KMnO4、K2Fe O4在不同浓度下的反应活性,采用HPLC检测法,对比降解效能,探究氧化剂性质与有机物结构导致的反应活性的差异。实验结果表明,不同种类农药的结构性质对反应活性有重要影响,3种氧化剂的氧化降解能力有明显差异。苯氧羧酸类和芳香酸类农药结构较简单,并含有稳定的苯环或吡啶环结构,氧化降解较困难。取代脲类和烟碱类农药结构较复杂,氧化剂可攻击其不饱和官能团,反应活性较高。NaClO对取代脲类农药的降解率明显优于其他2种氧化剂,3种氧化剂对烟碱类农药的氧化降解效果依次为NaClO>KMn O4>K2Fe O4。研究多种农药与次氯酸钠、高锰酸钾和高铁酸钾的反应活性对降解去除水体中的农药残留对水环境的治理具有重要意义。     

Effect of Potassium, and Abscisic and Indole-3-Acetic Acids, on Maize Root Xylem Exudation and Potassium Efflux

The influence of potassium sulfate, abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) solutions on xylem exudation rate and potassium efflux from the apical cut end of root tips of intact maize (Zea mays L. cv. Dnepropetrovskaya) seedlings was studied. Foliar application of 5 mM K₂SO₄ considerably stimulated the exudation rate. The application of ABA and IAA (1 mM) also induced a high rate of xylem exudation, K⁺ efflux being simultaneously increased. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Cerebrovascular Permeability Coefficients to Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride

CSF and regional brain concentrations of 42K, 22Na, 36Cl, and [14C]mannitol were determined 3-45 min after intravenous injection of the tracers in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. Rapid influx of 36Cl and 22Na into ventricular CSF immediately established concentration gradients from CSF to brain extracellular fluid. The CSF contribution to brain uptake of tracers was greatest in periventricular brain regions, where brain 36Cl concentrations were up to ninefold higher than concentrations in regions distant from ventricular CSF. Acetazolamide (20 mg kg-1 i.p.), an inhibitor of CSF formation, decreased 36Cl uptake into CSF and into periventricular brain regions but not into frontal cortex. 36Cl uptake into brain was unidirectional for 10 min after intravenous injection, and, during that period, diffusion from ventricular CSF did not contribute to uptake in the frontal cortex. Therefore, cerebrovascular permeability coefficients could be calculated from tracer concentrations in frontal cortex at 10 min and equaled, in cm s-1, 13.5 X 10(-7) for 42K, 1.4 X 10(-7) for 22Na, 0.9 X 10(-7) for 36Cl, and 1.5 X 10(-7) for [14C]mannitol. The low cerebrovascular permeabilities to K, Na, and Cl, comparable to those of some cell membranes, and the permselectivity (K much greater than Na greater than Cl) suggest that a significant fraction of ion transport across cerebral capillaries is transcellular, i.e., across the endothelial cell membrane.     

Redistribution of Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Manganese in the Plant

The extent of redistribution in apple was described by calculating the fruit/leaf ratio of the cation content. It was found that the redistribution diminishes in the sequence K > Mg > Ca ～ Mn. These results are more or less in agreement with those found elsewhere. Investigations were made to see whether it was possible to account for the differences in redistribution by the phloem by means of the solubility of these cations in the sieve tube sap. As model plants Yucca flaccida and Ricinus communis were used, plants from which it was possible to obtain phloem sap in a rather pure state. It was found that the addition of potassium and magnesium as a chloride in the usual investigated range of concentrations did not give precipitation. With calcium and manganese, however, a precipitate soon occurred. Manganese was demonstrated to be less soluble than calcium. For Ricinus the maximum amount of calcium and manganese the sieve tube sap could contain before precipitation set in was higher than for Yucca sap. The results confirm the possibility that the redistribution of the different cations in the plant can be related inter alia to their solubility in the sieve tube sap. It was also found that the calcium in the phloem sap is present in ionic condition. Thus the normal laws of solubility should be applicable.     

Dependence of Marine Bdellovibrios on Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium Ions

Marine bdellovibrios show a specific requirement for K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺. Potassium is essential for high velocity and seems to be necessary for attachment of the free bdellovibrios. Calcium and magnesium are necessary for attachment and penetration. Magnesium also plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the bdelloplast. The adaptation of these bdellovibrios to the marine environment is manifested by their stringent cation requirements.     

Potassium, sodium and Chloride in the protoplasm of characeae

Using vacuolar perfusion, which enabled us to replace the cellsap with a solution containing no k⁺, Na⁺ and Cl^–, theconcentrations of these ions in the protoplasm of three speciesof fresh water Characeae were determined. They were respectively,78, 2 and 27 mM in Nitella flexilis, 101, 9 and 31 mM in Nitellapulchella, and 112, 3 and 21 mM in Chara australis. Our previouslyreported results (3) indicating that the chloroplast layer containedmuch more Na⁺ and Cl^– than the endoplasm has been questionedin the light of the present results. ¹Present address: Department of Biology, College of GeneralEducation, Osaka University.

Potassium Fluxes during Potassium Absorption by Intact Barley Plants of Increasing Potassium Content

The presence of previously absorbed K in plants caused a marked reduction in the short term influx of ⁸⁶Rb-labeled K into roots of barley seedlings. The influx values agreed with net K absorption rates into intact plants, thus suggesting that K efflux was negligible in comparison with influx.
