Sulfate transporters in the plant’s response to drought and salinity: regulation and possible functions

2014

International audience; Drought and salinity are two frequently combined abiotic stresses that affect plant growth, development, and crop productivity. Sulfate, and molecules derived from this anion such as glutathione, play important roles in the intrinsic responses of plants to such abiotic stresses. Therefore, understanding how plants facing environmental constraints re-equilibrate the flux of sulfate between and within different tissues might uncover perspectives for improving tolerance against abiotic stresses. In this review, we took advantage of genomics and post-genomics resources available in Arabidopsis thaliana and in the model legume species Medicago truncatula to highlight and …

Study of parameters endogeneous and exogeneous to ordinary Portland ciment influencing hydration of its main phase : tricalcium silicate

2012

This work devoted to study various parameters influencing hydration of silicate phase main Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) was performed at the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB). This study is part of the project "Crystal Growth Control" initiated by BASF in order to monitor and provide the best as possible the hydration of Ordinary Portland Cement. The dissolution of alite, like the pure C3S one, is fast in pure water. Speed decreases with deviation from equilibrium and the concentration of aluminates ions in solution. There is also an adsorption on the surface of the aluminum which is into the alite and released by dissolution. Germination and growth of C-S-H has bee…

Un miracle transformateur de goût : la miraculine, potentiel prometteur pour l'industrie agroalimentaire

2016

Connaissez-vous le fruit miracle ?Non, non, il n’est pas ici question d’un pays magique, ni d’un phénomène cosmique : il s’agit bel et bien d’un nom de fruit existant sur notre planète, aux ressources parfois surprenantes.Ne soyez pas sceptique : une fois informés sur ses étonnantes propriétés, je mets ma main à couper que vous aimeriez en savoir plus, voire même, le goûter.Car le fruit miracle contient une protéine (logiquement appelée « la miraculine ») aux attributs uniques : transformer le goût de l’acide en goût sucré… sans aucun sucre ajouté.Un potentiel prometteur pour des applications industrielles en agroalimentaire. Je vous propose d’en apprendre plus avec Loïc Briand, directeur d…

Pull-off adhesion of hybrid glass-steel adhesive joints in salt fog environment

2016

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the durability behaviour of glass/steel adhesive joints exposed to salt fog environmental conditions for ten weeks, according to ASTM B117 standard. To this scope, pull-off mechanical tests were carried out in order to evaluate the performances evolution and damage phenomena of the adhesive joints during the ageing exposition. Two different types of adhesives were compared (i.e. epoxy and polyurethane ones). Moreover, the effects of the glass surface condition and the presence of a basalt mat layer within the adhesive thickness were evaluated. The mechanical performances were related with the occurred failure mechanisms. Epoxy-based joints showed higher…

Ca-rich carbonates associated with ultrabasic-ultramafic melts. Carbonatite or limestone xenoliths? A case study from the late Miocene Morron de Vill…

2016

The volcanic products of the late Miocene Morron de Villamayor volcano (Calatrava Volcanic Field, central Spain) are known for being one of the few outcrops of leucitites in the entire circum-Mediterranean area. These rocks are important because aragonite of mantle origin has been reported as inclusion in olivine macrocrysts. We use petrographic observations, mineral compositions, as well as oxygen and carbon isotope ratios coupled with experimental petrology to understand the origin of carbonate phase in these olivine-phyric rocks. Groundmass and macrocryst olivines range from δ18OVSMOW of +4.8‰, typical of mantle olivine values, to +7.4‰, indicating contamination by sedimentary carbonate.…

N-Alkyl ammonium resorcinarene salts: multivalent halogen-bonded deep-cavity cavitands

2015

N-Cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene halides, stabilized by an intricate array of hydrogen bonds in a cavitand-like assembly, form multivalent halogen-bonded deep-cavity cavitands with perfluoroiodobenzenes. As observed from the macromolar to infinite concentration range through crystal growth and single crystal X-ray analyses, four 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzenes form moderate halogen bonds with the bromides of the N-cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene bromides leading to a deep-cavity cavitand-like structure. In this assembly, the N-cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene bromide also acts as a guest and sits in the upper cavity of the assembly interacting with the 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene throu…

Ethylammonium hydrogen oxalate–oxalic acid (2/1)

2019

The reaction between ethylamine and oxalic acid in water in a 1:1 molar ratio afforded the title salt, C2H8N+·C2HO4 −·0.5C2H2O4. The hydrogen oxalate anions interact through hydrogen bonding and are organized into a chains propagating along the c-axis direction. The chains are connected to the neighbouring cations and oxalic acid molecules by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and N...O dipole–dipole contacts, leading to a supramolecular three-dimensional network.
