Lateral root (LR) formation promotes plant resistance, whereas high-level ethylene induced by abiotic stress will inhibit LR emergence. Considering that local auxin accumulation is a precondition for LR generation, auxin-induced genes inhibiting ethylene synthesis may thus be important for LR development. Here, we found that auxin response factor 4 (SaARF4) in Sedum alfredii Hance could be induced by auxin. The overexpression of SaARF4 decreased the LR number and reduced the vessel diameters. Meanwhile, the auxin distribution mode was altered in the root tips and PIN expression was also decreased in the overexpressed lines compared with the wild-type (WT) plants. The overexpression of SaARF4 could reduce ethylene synthesis, and thus, the repression of ethylene production decreased the LR number of WT and reduced PIN expression in the roots. Furthermore, the quantitative real-time PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, yeast one-hybrid, and dual-luciferase assay results showed that SaARF4 could bind the promoter of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase 4 (SaACO4), associated with ethylene biosynthesis, and could downregulate its expression. Therefore, we concluded that SaARF4 induced by auxin can inhibit ethylene biosynthesis by repressing SaACO4 expression, and this process may affect auxin transport to delay LR development.

The four protonation constants are reported for the dianion of ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetic acid(H2L),25°C, I = 0.10 M(KNO3), (log ki = 9.60, 6.51, 2.12, 1.3). log K(potentiometric) and ΔH(calorimetric) data are reported for the formation of the complexes [ML], M = Mn2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ (log K = 6.87, 10.99, 9.16, and 10.66; ΔH = −2.9, −24.4, −16.7, and −28.0 kJ mol−1 respectively). The complexes [ZnL] and [PbL] undergo (aqua) proton dissociation reactions, [Formula: see text] log KD = −10.56 and −11.02, ΔHD = +60.7 and +38.5 kJ mol−1, respectively. Potentiometric and nmr studies indicate that the ligand undergoes a slow (metal catalysed) hydrolysis or rearrangement in aqueous acid.

Variations in metal concentrations in a heavily polluted stream receiving acidic leachates from an old mine tailings deposit are analysed from a hydrological perspective. From an extensive data material, collected during three years, the variations in concentrations of four metals (copper, zinc, cadmium and lead) are discussed. The deposit is the principal source for these metals in the watershed. The variation in metal concentrations in the vicinity of the deposit can to a large extent be explained by simple dilution of contaminated water with uncontaminated water from the surrounding area. Further downstream the deposit, other processes become increasingly important for the metal concentrations in the water bodies.

AbstractA series of Cu-substituted goethites, single and co-substituted with Cr, Zn, Cd and/or Pb was prepared, having molar ratios equal to 2.00, 3.33 and 5.00 mol%. All the samples contained only goethite, except Cu-, (Cu,Zn)- and (Cu,Pb)-samples synthesized at 5.00 mol% where hematite was also formed. The presence of Cr/Cd suppressed the hematite-forming effects of Cu. The general sequence of metal entry into the single-metal-substituted goethites was Zn = Cr > Cd > Cu > Pb and in di- (5.00 mol%) and tri- (3.33 mol%) metal-substituted goethites was Cu > Zn > Cd > Cr >> Pb. Cu incorporation increased all the unit-cell parameters in single-metal-substituted goethite, and these parameters increased in combination with other metals as follows: Cd > Zn > Cr > Pb in the multimetal-substituted goethites. The Cu-substituted goethite dissolved faster than pure goethite. Co substitutions of Cr/Pb reduced the dissolution rate (kFe), while substitutions of Cd/Zn increased kFe.
