ABSTRACTUnderstanding molecular mechanisms which underlie transport of cesium (Cs+) in plants is important to limit entry of its radioisotopes from contaminated area to the food chain. The potentially toxic element Cs+, which is not involved in any biological process, is chemically closed to the macronutrient potassium (K+). Among the multiple K+ carriers, the high-affinity K+ transporters family HAK/KT/KUP is thought to be relevant in mediating opportunistic Cs+ transport. On the 13 KUP identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, only HAK5, the major contributor to root K+ acquisition under low K+ supply, has been functionally demonstrated to be involved in Cs+ uptake in planta. In the present study, we showed that accumulation of Cs+ increased by up to 30% in two A. thaliana mutant lines lacking KUP9 and grown under low K+ supply. Since further experiments revealed that Cs+ release from contaminated plants to the external medium is proportionally lower in the two kup9 mutants, we proposed that KUP9 disruption could impair Cs+ efflux. By contrast, we did not measure significant impairment of K+ status in kup9 mutants suggesting that KUP9 disruption does not alter substantially K+ transport in experimental conditions used here. Putative primary role of KUP9 in plants is further discussed.

Potassium deficiency is a major problem limiting tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) growth, and grafting has the potential to alleviate it. To compare the photosynthetic performance of grafted tobacco under different potassium levels, tobacco Yunyan 87 (main cultivar) and Wufeng No. 2 (potassium high-efficiency cultivar) were selected to conduct mutual grafting trials in the form of hydroculture with two potassium supply levels (5 mmol·L−1 K and 0.5 mmol·L−1 K). The plant growth, gas exchange parameters, chlorophyll a fluorescence, and the initial ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO) activity were measured. The results showed that potassium deficiency could significantly decrease the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance (gS), and transpiration rate in the tobacco leaves, resulting in nonstomatal restriction. Grafting could effectively alleviate this problem. The actual quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII) photochemicals in ‘Yunyan 87’ increased 29.4% and 20.3% by grafting, respectively, under normal and low potassium levels. Compared with nongrafted ‘Yunyan 87’, grafting also effectively improved the electron transfer efficiency of PSII in the tobacco leaves under low potassium stress by reducing nonradiation energy dissipation and enhancing the initial activity of RuBisCO. From this study, it can be known that grafted tobacco plants can improve their photosynthesis by alleviating the nonstomata restriction of leaves under potassium stress and improving the electron transfer efficiency of PSII.

Quality Features

Abstract In this paper it is stated, that a set of quality features of metal matrix composite castings differs from the same set for castings of classic materials, although some features are common for both of these material groups. These features (pertaining to a set of quality characteristics of composite castings) have been named as specific, they have not been determined yet and a description of material quality should be performed (according to the qualitology) on a principle of description of quality characteristics of this product. Therefore, this set of features has been determined. It was proposed to add the following characteristics to the set of specific features of composite castings quality: matrix material, reinforcement material, binding between components and porosity of the composite casting. In this set a sub-set of quality characteristics of composite castings was also determined.
