The increased contaminants caused by anthropogenic activities in the environment and the importance of finding pathways to reduce pollution caused the silicon application to be considered an important detoxification agent. Silicon, as a beneficial element, plays an important role in amelioration of abiotic stress, such as an extreme dose of heavy metal in plants. There are several mechanisms involved in silicon mediation in plants, including the reduction of heavy metal uptake by plants, changing pH value, formation of Si heavy metals, and stimulation of enzyme activity, which can work by chemical and physical pathways. The aim of this paper is to investigate the major silicon-related mechanisms that reduce the toxicity of heavy metals in plants and then to assess the role of silicon in increasing the antioxidant enzyme and nonenzyme activities to protect the plant cell.

No Brasil, a ocorrência de solos que possuem teores de Fe2O3 acima de 360 g kg-1, enquadrados como perférricos no Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos, ainda é pouco conhecida, restringindo os perfis coletados e classificados a dez diferentes materiais de origem. Para este trabalho foram selecionados 33 perfis de solos perférricos descritos em levantamentos da EMBRAPA, teses, dissertações e artigos publicados em periódicos. De modo geral, estes solos possuem grande quantidade de partículas agrupadas nas frações finas, com mais de 50% dos perfis enquadrados como argilosos ou franco-siltosos. Estes solos são ácidos, com valor médio de pH em H2O de 5,37, com uma média de balanço de cargas próximo à zero e com uma CTC altamente dependente da matéria orgânica. A distrofia é uma característica comum, sendo o resultado tanto de um intenso intemperismo ou mesmo de solos que se originam de rochas já muito pobres em bases solúveis. Em relação à química da argila obtida pelo ataque sulfúrico, os solos são pobres em sílica e moderadamente pobres em alumínio. Os solos perférricos, independente do seu material de origem, tendem a uma homogeneização física e química de seus atributos. O controle litológico se expressa principalmente nos solos desenvolvidos de itabiritos, jaspilitos e couraças ferruginosas. Nestas rochas, ainda que a pedogênese seja incipiente, os solos já são perférricos. Nos demais litotipos, como basalto, gabro e tufitos, o caráter perférrico está associado à atuação do intemperismo ao longo do tempo, onde ocorre a lixiviação das bases e sílica e enriquecimento relativo em ferro.Palavras–chave: gênese de solos, classificação de solos, pedogeomorfologia.   AbstractIn Brazil, the occurrence of soils with Fe2O3 levels above 360 g kg-1, classified as perferric in the Brazilian Soil Classification System, is still little known, restricting the profiles collected and classified to ten different parent materials. For this study, 33 profiles of the perferric soils described in EMBRAPA surveys, theses, dissertations and articles published in reviews were selected. In general, these soils have a large number of particles grouped in the fine fractions, with more than 50% of the profiles framed as clay or silt-loam. These soils are acidic, with an average pH value in H2O of 5.37, with an average balance of loads near zero and with a CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) highly dependent on organic matter. The dystrophy is a common characteristic, being the result of either an intense weathering or even of soils that originate from already poor rocks in soluble bases.Regarding the chemistry of the clay obtained by the sulfuric attack, the soils are deficient in silica and moderately poor in aluminium. Perferric soils, independent of their parent material, tend to physical and chemical homogenization of their attributes. The lithological control is expressed mainly in developed soils of itabirite, jaspilites and ferruginous duricrusts. In these rocks, although the pedogenesis is incipient, the soils are already perferric. In the other lithotypes, such as basalt, gabbro and tuffs, the perferric character is associated with the weathering action over time, where leaching of the bases and silica and relative enrichment in iron occurs.Keywords: soil genesis, soil classification, soil-geomorphology.

Eco-enzyme is a multifunctional liquid produced from fermentation of waste or organic waste, brown sugar or granulated sugar, and water. Fermentation of  eco-enzymes  is carried out for ±3 months. The length of time fermentation affects color, aroma and pH. The  resultingeco-enzyme liquid is dark brown and has a strong fresh sour aroma.  Eco-enzymeliquid has an alcohol content and acetic acid. Alcohol and acetic acid are produced from the bacterial metabolic process that is naturally present in the rest of fruits and vegetables. Variations in the fermentation time of eco-enzymes  used are 2.5 months and 3 months. Analysis conducted on  eco-enzymes  include pH tests and phytochemical screening  tests. The pH value obtained in  eco-eznyme  2.5 months is 3, while the pH value in  eco-eznyme  3 months is 1.5. Eco-enzymes  with a fermentation time of 3 months contain alkaloid compounds, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. In this study  Eco-eznyme  was used as a hand sanitizer  spray by diluting the eco-enzyme with aquadest. The dilution ratios used vary for each sample: 1:40, 2:40, 3:40, 4:40, 5:40. Analysis conducted on  hand sanitizer spray include pH test, organoleptic test, and antibacterial activity test.

Psammosilene tunicoides is a unique perennial medicinal plant species native to the Southwestern regions of China. Its wild population is rare and endangered due to over-excessive collection and extended growth (4–5 years). This research shows that H+-ATPase activity was a key factor for oxalate-inducing programmed cell death (PCD) of P. tunicoides suspension cells. Oxalic acid (OA) is an effective abiotic elicitor that enhances a plant cell’s resistance to environmental stress. However, the role of OA in this process remains to be mechanistically unveiled. The present study evaluated the role of OA-induced cell death using an inverted fluorescence microscope after staining with Evans blue, FDA, PI, and Rd123. OA-stimulated changes in K+ and Ca2+ trans-membrane flows using a patch-clamp method, together with OA modulation of H+-ATPase activity, were further examined. OA treatment increased cell death rate in a dosage-and duration-dependent manner. OA significantly decreased the mitochondria activity and damaged its electron transport chain. The OA treatment also decreased intracellular pH, while the FC increased the pH value. Simultaneously, NH4Cl caused intracellular acidification. The OA treatment independently resulted in 90% and the FC led to 25% cell death rates. Consistently, the combined treatments caused a 31% cell death rate. Furthermore, treatment with EGTA caused a similar change in intracellular pH value to the La3+ and OA application. Combined results suggest that OA-caused cell death could be attributed to intracellular acidification and the involvement of OA in the influx of extracellular Ca2+, thereby leading to membrane depolarization. Here we explore the resistance mechanism of P. tunicoides cells against various stresses endowed by OA treatment.

This work addresses the role of charge regulation (CR) and the associated fluctuations in the conformational and mechanical properties of weak polyelectrolytes. Due to CR, changes in the pH-value modifies the average macromolecular charge and conformational equilibria. A second effect is that, for a given average charge per site, fluctuations can alter the intensity of the interactions by means of correlation between binding sites. We investigate both effects by means of Monte Carlo simulations at constant pH-value, so that the charge is a fluctuating quantity. Once the average charge per site is available, we turn off the fluctuations by assigning the same average charge to every site. A constant charge MC simulation is then performed. We make use of a model which accounts for the main fundamental aspects of a linear flexible polyelectrolyte i.e. proton binding, angle internal rotation, bond stretching and bending. Steric excluded volume and differentiated treatment for short-range and long-range interactions are also included in the model. It can be regarded as a kind of "minimal'' model in the sense that contains a minimum number of parameters but still preserving the atomistic detail. It is shown that, if fluctuations are activated, gauche state bond probabilities increase, and the persistence length decreases, so that the polymer becomes more folded. Macromolecular stretching is also analyzed in presence of CR (the charge depends on the applied force) and without CR (the charge is fixed to the value at zero force). The analysis of the low force scaling behavior concludes that Pincus exponent becomes pH-dependent. Both with and without CR, a transition from 1/2 at high pH-values (phantom chain) to 3/5 to low pH-values (Pincus regime), is observed. Finally, the intermediate force stretching regime is investigated. It is found that CR induces a moderate influence in the force-extension curves and persistence length (which in this force regime becomes force-dependent). It is thus concluded that the effect of CR on the stretching curves is mainly due to changes in the average charge at zero force. It is also found that, for the cases studied, the effect of steric excluded volume is almost irrelevant compared to electrostatic interactions.
