“…These determinations are represented as stress indicators because they act as a defense of plants. Besides, several compounds belonging to this class are associated with many benefits previously reported in the literature, including antioxidant [ 56 ], anti-inflammatory [ 57 ], anti-cancer [ 58 ] and anti-microbial [ 59 ] activities, mainly in association with other nutritional and medicinal properties [ 60 ].…”

Understanding drought response mechanisms in wheat and multi-trait selection

Wheat crop is very sensitive to osmotic stress conditions. As an abiotic stress, drought may exert a considerable effect on the levels of specialized metabolites in plants. These metabolites may exert beneficial biological activities in the prevention or treatment of disorders linked to oxidative stress in plants and humans. Furthermore, osmoprotector accumulation helps wheat to increase the maintenance of osmotic balance. Therefore, identifying wheat genotypes with better drought tolerance is extremely important. In this sense, this research aimed to understand agronomic, physiological and biochemical responses of spring wheat strains and cultivars to drought stress, under field conditions, and jointly select strains via multi-trait index. We evaluated agronomic, physiological and biochemical variables in 18 genotypes under field condition. The results demonstrated that all variables were affected by the drought. Most genotypes were significantly reduced in grain yield, except VI_14774, VI_14668, VI_9007 and TBIO_ATON. The variables related to photosynthesis were also affected. An increase above 800% was observed in proline contents in genotypes under drought. Sodium and potassium also increased, mainly for VI_131313 (Na), while VI_130758 and VI_14774 presented increased K. We evaluated the antioxidant potential of the different strains and the total content of phenolic compounds. The most drought-responsive genotypes were BRS_264, VI_14050 and VI_14426. Reduced grain yield and photosynthetic variables, and increased specialized metabolism compounds are due to plant defense mechanisms against drought conditions. Furthermore, variation in genotypes can be explained by the fact that each plant presents a different defense and tolerance mechanism, which may also occur between genotypes of the same species. Four strains were selected by the multivariate index: VI_14055, VI_14001, VI_14426 and VI_1466. Such results allow us to predict which genotype(s) performed best in semi-arid environments and under climatic fluctuations.

“… 21 As mentioned, other silica sources are inorganic materials, such as silicon tetrachloride, 22 , 23 olivine, 24 , 25 and sodium silicate solution. 15 , 26 , 27 Sodium silicate as an economical and available precursor can be an excellent source for the synthesis of silica-based nanoparticles. However, industrial production of sodium silicate requires a great deal of energy.…”

“… 26 However, it is interesting to know that researchers concluded it was possible to obtain sodium silicate from natural sources such as materials that are considered agricultural waste or by-products such as rice husk, wheat husk, coffee husk, barley grass, corn cob, sugarcane bagasse, oil palm. 15 , 26 , 27 These plants, due to the absorption of silica in the soil by their roots, can be as productive, economic, and accessible precursors of silica nanoparticles. So, a low-value substance can be converted into valuable MSNs.…”

The application of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) is ubiquitous in various sciences. MSNs possess unique features, including the diversity in manufacturing by different synthesis methods and from different sources, structure controllability, pore design capabilities, pore size tunability, nanoparticle size distribution adjustment, and the ability to create diverse functional groups on their surface. These characteristics have led to various types of MSNs as a unique system for drug delivery. In this review, first, the synthesis of MSNs by different methods via using different sources were studied. Then, the parameters affecting their physicochemical properties and functionalization have been discussed. Finally, the last decade’s novel strategies, including surface functionalization, drug delivery, and cancer treatment, based on the MSNs in drug delivery and cancer therapy have been addressed.

“…According to the classification of chemical composition, mesoporous materials are generally divided into two categories: silicon-based and non-silicon-based. Silicon-based mesoporous materials can be used in catalysis, drug delivery, [25] chemical/biosensors, [26] and other fields. Silicon-based materials can be divided into two categories according to pure silicon and doped with other elements.…”

Furfural is a raw material for the preparation of furan derivatives with active chemical properties. Due to its ability to prepare various high value-added chemicals through oxidation, condensation, hydrogenation, and other reactions, furfural has received extensive attention. The activity of catalyst depends largely on the solvent effect, reaction temperature, metalsupport interaction, metal nanoparticle size, and also depends on the synthesis method of catalyst. In this review, mono-metal (Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, Zn, Zr, Au, Pt, Pd, etc.) and bimetallic (CuÀ , NiÀ , PtÀ and PdÀ , etc.) catalysts supported on mesoporous silica materials for the hydrogenation of furfural to various high value-added chemicals in gas or liquid phase are highlighted. At the same time, some feasible suggestions are put forward. Mono-metal catalysts are prone to deactivation (due to carbon deposition and metal sintering), and the addition of a second metal or solvent modification can be used to improve catalyst activity, furfural conversion, and product selectivity.
