Upon herbivore attack, plants emit herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). HIPVs can prime defences and resistance of intact plants. However, how HIPVs are decoded and translated into functional defence responses is not well understood, especially in long-lived woody plants. Here, we investigated the impact of the aromatic HIPV indole on defence-related early signalling, phytohormone accumulation, secondary metabolite biosynthesis and herbivore resistance in tea plants. We find that tea plants infested with tea geometrid caterpillars release indole at concentrations >450 ng*hr −1 . Exposure to corresponding doses of synthetic indole primes the expression of early defence genes involved in calcium (Ca 2+ ) signalling, MPK signalling and jasmonate biosynthesis. Indole exposure also primes the production of jasmonates and defence-related secondary metabolites. These changes are associated with higher herbivore resistance of indole-exposed tea plants. Chemical inhibition of Ca 2+ and jasmonate signalling provides evidence that both are required for indole-mediated defence priming and herbivore resistance. Our systematic assessment of the impact of indole on defence signalling and deployment shows that indole acts by boosting Ca 2+ signalling, resulting in enhanced jasmonate-dependent defence and resistance in a woody plant. Our work extends the molecular basis of HIPV-induced defence priming from annual plants to an economically important tree species.

A series of new monomers (M1~M6) containing both thiophene and indole structures and carrying different substituents with varied electronic effects on the 2,3-position of indole have been designed and synthesized. The corresponding conjugated polymers (P1~P6) obtained via oxidative polymerization presented different spectral phenomena and fluorescence properties as well as fluorescence lifetime due to the synergistic influence of varied electronic effects, the interaction between polymer chains and π-π stacking of indole moieties. By adjusting the properties of substituents and their position in indole ring, these as-prepared conjugated polymers can emit fluorescence with varied colors such as blue-green, yellow, orange-red, brown red, light red and red, and show the changes of fluorescence intensity in different degrees with the increase of 365 nm UV irradiation time. Among them, P3 and P5 show much stronger fluorescence than other species, which is very desirable for application.

Designing an efficient and selective catalyst for the ultra-deep sulfur removal from liquid fuels under mild conditions is vibrant in environmental catalysis. This work reports the preparation of catalysts, i.e., WO x -based active sites generated on SnO 2 , for the sulfur removal from model diesel via biphasic oxidative desulfurization (ODS). The different active species generated on SnO 2 such as monomeric and polymeric WO x species, and crystalline WO 3 are characterized. Besides being the support, SnO 2 adsorbs the sulfur compounds from the oil phase and boosts the ODS performance. No significant change in the ODS activity of WO x @SnO 2 is observed in the presence of intrusive nitrogen and aromatic compounds. The order of ODS activity towards different sulfur compounds is dibenzothiophene (DBT) > 4,6-dimethyl DBT > benzothiophene. While using SnO 2 with a higher surface area (96.5 m 2 /g) instead of that with a lower surface area (19.2 m 2 /g), the formation of highly efficient polymeric WO x species is enhanced. Consequently, the turn over frequency is augmented from 10.99 to 43.23 h −1 , which is closely a 4-fold increase. The polymeric WO x species produced on SnO 2 having the higher surface area are visualized by HAADF-STEM analysis. Scalable preparation and the higher turnover frequency of the present catalyst can develop a promising catalytic system for the ODS.

Indole is an important chemical that can be directly obtained from wash oil mixtures. In this work, several tetraethyl ammonium amino acid (TAAA) ionic liquids (ILs) were designed to separate indole from model wash oil through forming hydrogen bonds. The effects of important factors, such as stirring time, TAAA type, indole concentration, temperature, and TAAA:indole mole ratio, on indole separation were investigated. It is found that these TAAAs can separate indole from model wash oil with separation efficacy up to 98.0% (for tetraethylammonium L-alanine ionic liquid), and the ultimate indole concentration is 1.6 g/dm 3 . This separation process takes less than 5 min. Also, for one kind of TAAA, the ultimate indole concentrations are almost constant despite different initial indole concentrations. The maximum distribution coefficients of indole are 200.9 at the studied conditions. We have also found that water content in TAAA shows a negative effect on indole separation, which inspired us to design a process for TAAA regeneration using water. After regeneration, TAAA can be reused, and the separation efficacy of indole is not significantly reduced. The FT-IR results show that there are hydrogen bonds between TAAAs and indole. Finally, we compared the TAAA method to other methods and demonstrated the advantages.

Mesoporous carbons are widely utilized as adsorbents for adsorptive removal of nitrogen-containing compounds in fuel. Herein, hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (HMCNs) were successfully synthesized via a facile silica-assisted sol–gel strategy and further oxidized by different acids (HNO 3 , H 2 SO 4 , and (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 ) to adjust their surface chemistry. The HMCNs oxidized with (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 contain the most oxygen-containing groups and exhibit the strongest acidity, resulting in high adsorption capacities towards quinoline (QUI, 29.78 mg N ·g −1 ) and indole (IND, 26.59 mg N ·g −1 ) in model fuel. The superior performance is attributed to the acid-base interaction and hydrogen bonding interaction between the adsorbent and QUI/IND molecules. Remarkably, the adsorption capacity towards nitrogen-containing compounds in real diesel is as high as 19.19 mg N ·g −1 at 50 °C. Our work has paved the way to the rational design and synthesis of high-performance adsorbents for the removal of nitrogen-containing compounds in real diesel on a large scale.

A polyether amine (PEA)-based solvent, which can be synthesized by PEA and formic acid (FA), is a green, low-cost, and efficient extractant for desulfurization and denitrogenation. Under the conditions of ambient pressure, 15 min, 30 °C, m(extractant)/m(oil) of 1:1, and n(FA)/n(PEA) of 10:1, S removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (BT), and thiophene (T) was 72.16, 63.96, and 53.01%, respectively, and N removal of indole, pyrrole, pyridine, and quinoline was 98.31, 97.12, 91.51, and 89.93%, respectively. The activity of the PEA/FA complex was attributed to an active O atom originated from PEA and an amide group formed by the reaction and the complexation between PEA and FA, which was beneficial to enough Lewis basicity and mild Brønsted acidity. In addition, the PEA/FA complex can realize deep desulfurization by multi-stage extraction and has good regeneration ability. The PEA/FA complex was still effective for real oil. More than 68% of sulfur in straight-run diesel oil can be removed after 5 cycle extractions.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), known as a common plant hormone, is one of the most distributed indole derivatives in the environment, but the degradation mechanism and cellular response network to IAA degradation are still not very clear. The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of IAA degradation at the protein level by a newly isolated strain Pseudomonas sp. LY1. Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of strain LY1 cultivated with IAA or citrate/NH4Cl was applied. A total of 2,604 proteins were identified, and 227 proteins have differential abundances in the presence of IAA, including 97 highly abundant proteins and 130 less abundant proteins. Based on the proteomic analysis an IAA degrading (iad) gene cluster in strain LY1 containing IAA transformation genes (organized as iadHABICDEFG), genes of the β-ketoadipate pathway for catechol and protocatechuate degradation (catBCA and pcaABCDEF) were identified. The iadA, iadB, and iadE-disrupted mutants lost the ability to grow on IAA, which confirmed the role of the iad cluster in IAA degradation. Degradation intermediates were analyzed by HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS analysis. Proteomic analysis and identified products suggested that multiple degradation pathways existed in strain LY1. IAA was initially transformed to dioxindole-3-acetic acid, which was further transformed to isatin. Isatin was then transformed to isatinic acid or catechol. An in-depth data analysis suggested oxidative stress in strain LY1 during IAA degradation, and the abundance of a series of proteins was upregulated to respond to the stress, including reaction oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, protein repair, fatty acid synthesis, RNA protection, signal transduction, chemotaxis, and several membrane transporters. The findings firstly explained the adaptation mechanism of bacteria to IAA degradation.

Blue indigo dye, an important natural colorant, is used for textiles and food additives worldwide, while another red isomer, indirubin, is the major active ingredient of a traditional Chinese medicine named “Danggui Longhui Wan” for treating various diseases including granulocytic leukemia, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. In this work, we constructed a new and highly efficient indigoid production system by optimizing a novel terpenoid cyclase, XiaI, from the xiamycin biosynthetic pathway. Through introducing the flavin-reducing enzyme Fre, tryptophan-lysing and -importing enzymes TnaA and TnaB, and H2O2-degrading enzyme KatE and optimizing the fermentation parameters including temperature, the concentration of isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside, and feeding of the l-tryptophan precursor, the final maximum productivity of indigoids by the recombinant strain Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) (XiaI-Fre-TnaAB-KatE) was apparently improved to 101.9 mg/L, an approximately 60-fold improvement to that of the starting strain E. coli BL21(DE3) (XiaI) (1.7 mg/L). In addition, when the fermentation system was enlarged to 1 L in the flask (feeding with 5 mM tryptophan and 10 mM 2-hydroxyindole), the indigoid productivity further increased to 276.7 mg/L at 48 h, including an indigo productivity of 26.0 mg/L and an indirubin productivity of 250.7 mg/L, which has been the highest productivity of indirubin so far. This work provided a basis for the commercial production of bio-indigo and the clinical drug indirubin in the future.

In this work, the study of synthesis and denitrogenation of magnetic polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) for N-compounds in simulated oils and diesel are reported. Three functionalised magnetic particles, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @PILs with side alkyl chain of C2, C4 and C6, respectively, were prepared by grafting PILs on the surface of silica-coated Fe 3 O 4 . Fourier transform infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were carried out to characterise the structure of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @PILs. It has shown that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @ PILs possess precious merits for sorbents, such as regular morphology, good stability and magnetic properties. Denitrogenation experiments of simulated oils demonstrate that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @ PILs show better denitrogenation efficiency of basic N-compounds than neutral N-compounds. The effects of temperature, reaction times, ratio of reagent to oil on denitrogenation for simulated oils were explored, and 92.1% denitrogenation efficiency was obtained to remove quinoline from simulated oils. Denitrogenation of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @PILs in diesel leads to 84.3% denitrogenation efficiency, and it can remain 82.5% denitrogenation efficiency after five times of recycles. Compared with other similar sorbents, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @PILs show competitive performances to eliminate organic N-compounds. It is hopeful that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @PILs can be promising sorbents for purification of liquid fuel by adsorptive denitrogenation.

The harvest time of a plant usually affects the yield of its metabolites. Polygonum tinctorium ( Polygonum tinctorium Ait., P. tinctorium ) is an important cultivated plant that produces the natural blue dye indigo and the medicinal metabolite indirubin. To explore the mechanism of indigo and indirubin accumulation, the leaves of P. tinctorium at different harvest times, namely July, August, and October, were investigated by metabolite and de novo transcriptome analyses. The results revealed that the indigo and indirubin content varied at different harvest times. Moreover, their contents were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in August than in either July or October. Transcriptome analysis showed different gene expression patterns of P. tinctorium leaves in August. Almost all the identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were responsible for the biosynthesis of indigo and indirubin, including four anthranilate synthase (AS) genes, two indole-3-glycerolphosphate synthase (IGPS) genes, three tryptophan synthase (TS) genes and seven cytochrome P450 (CYP450) genes were expressed at significantly higher levels in August ( p < 0.05), which correlated with the increase of the two compounds. Overall, the results of this study provide useful information for understanding the accumulation mechanism of indigo and indirubin in P. tinctorium , which may promote the development of agricultural breeding and industrial production of P. tinctorium. Moreover, sequence data obtained by de novo transcriptome sequencing of P. tinctorium provides a platform for future molecular biological studies.

A series of indole-1-carboxylic acid aryl esters was synthesized with indole and substituted phenols as raw materials. The structures of the target compounds were validated by IR and 1 H-NMR spectroscopies. The inhibitory activities of the target compounds and their potencies against marine fouling organisms were investigated. The results showed that the target compounds had significant inhibitory effects on the growth of three seaweeds: Isochrysis galbana , Platymonas subcordiformis, and Navicula , and the target compounds also had excellent inhibition on the survival of barnacle larvae. The substituent structure–activity relationships revealed a significant effect on biological inhibition activity: Compounds substituted by electron-withdrawing groups had greater bioactivities than those containing electron-donating groups. Release rate of antifoulant and marine field tests indicated the final compounds had an outstanding antifouling potency against marine fouling organisms.

The factors influencing the hydrothermal synthesis of ZSM-5 have been investigated in detail, such as silicon source, template, pH, reaction temperature, etc The type of template plays a key role. It is difficult to synthesize ZSM-5 without template or using inorganic template under our research conditions. However, the organic template of tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) or n-butylamine (BTA) is beneficial to the synthesis of HZSM-5. The pH range of 10.79–11.14 is favorable for the synthesis of HZSM-5 zeolite. When temperature is greater than or equal to 160 °C, the synthesis of target zeolites is easy. However, if temperature is ≤140 °C, the synthesized product belongs to amorphous solid. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the morphology of HZSM-5 crystal is hexagonal columnar. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis shows the synthesized product has a good ZSM-5 skeleton structure. The synthetic HZSM-5 zeolite has the BET specific surface area of about 387.326 m2 g−1. The adsorption capacities of the synthesized HZSM-5 for phenol, quinoline and indole can reach up to 43.54 mg g−1, 83.10 mg g−1 and 69.51 mg g−1, respectively.
