Summary: This study investigated the short-term storability of alginate-encapsulated Persian violet microshoots at different temperatures. The results showed that microshoots encapsulated with a single layer of alginate could be stored at 4 degrees C for up to 30 days, while those encapsulated with two layers had reduced germination and viability during storage.

Summary: Different LED light conditions were tested for in vitro culture of axillary blackberry shoots, and the combination of blue and red light (2:1 spectral ratio) with 30 g L-1 of sucrose was found to be the most effective for rooting and vegetative growth. Sucrose supplementation was essential for root development, but high concentrations negatively affected leaf area and growth. LED treatments resulted in increased leaf pigments compared to fluorescent treatment.

Summary: Sesuvium portulacastrum is an important coastal halophyte used for phytoremediation and erosion control. However, traditional propagation methods are not sufficient and may lead to disease spread. This study established an efficient protocol using growth regulators to induce axillary shoots and produce disease-free plants through microcutting and rooting techniques. This provides a rapid and reliable method for the propagation of genetically identical and healthy S. portulacastrum plants.

Summary: Transition metal oxide-mediated activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutant degradation has gained considerable attention. In this study, a composite PMS activator of S-doped g-C3N4/NiCo2O4 was developed, showing efficient degradation of tetracycline (TC) with a removal efficiency of 96.9% within 30 minutes. The introduction of sulfur doping widened the work function difference and enhanced the electric field intensity of the heterojunctions between g-C3N4 and NiCo2O4, promoting directional electron transfer and accelerating the redox cycle to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Experimental and theoretical analyses revealed that the main ROS involved in TC degradation were 1O2, generated through the conversion of SO4-, OH•, and O2•-. Additionally, high-valent cobalt-oxo species (CoIV = O) also contributed to TC degradation.

Summary: The magnetic HD-MHAP nanoparticles were prepared and effectively immobilized radioactive Sr2+ and Co2+. The adsorption capacity of MHAP and 10HD-MHAP on Co2+ was 28.4 mg/g and 172.3 mg/g, respectively, and for Sr2+, the adsorption capacity was 54.9 mg/g and 320.7 mg/g. The low desorption percentages of Sr2+ and Co2+ ensure the captured radionuclides will not be released back into the aquatic systems. The formation of a ternary surface complex of MHAP-HDTMP-M (Sr2+ or Co2+) was identified as the key to the excellent immobilization performance of the HD-MHAP composite.

Summary: In this study, N-doped perovskite La2CuO4 (N-LCO(M)) was synthesized using the sol-gel rapid calcination method with melamine as the N source/ligand, and applied for the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of high-concentration phenol-containing simulated wastewater. The results showed that N-LCO(M) exhibited enhanced phenol degradation efficiency, with a COD degradation efficiency of 87.9% achieved in simulated wastewater containing 8000 mg/L phenol, compared to only 43.8% for undoped LCO prepared with citric acid as the ligand (LCO(CA)). Systematic characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that N doping favored the formation of more oxygen vacancies and facilitated charge transfer, thus enhancing the adsorption of O2 and promoting the redox cycle of Cu2+/Cu1+, leading to the more exhaustive degradation of phenol. The proposed CWAO technique was proven to be a green and promising wastewater treatment method, with the toxicity of the intermediate products significantly reduced.
