Orthogonal and PEI gradient experiments confirmed the optimal formulation: 4 wt% SA, 10 wt% MIL-101(Fe), 5 wt% CaCl₂, and 1.5 g PEI. SEM, FTIR, and XPS jointly validated the successful construction of amino-enriched composite structure. Static adsorption tests demonstrated Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities of 177.57 mg/g for Cr(VI) and 72.60 mg/g, relying on coordination, electrostatic attraction and redox reactions. The material exhibited 71.58% cumulative nitrogen release within 30 days, which relieved soil acidification and elevated soil organic matter to 9.58 g/kg. In 60-day pot experiments, bioavailable Cr(VI) was reduced by more than 84% from 0.32 mg/kg to 0.049 mg/kg, and crop oxidative stress was greatly mitigated. However, continuous nitrogen supply stimulated root proliferation and rhizosphere organic-acid exudation, slightly increasing Cd (0.115 mg/kg) and Cr (0.284 mg/kg) accumulation in pakchoi shoots. Consistently, the Cd target hazard quotient (THQ) under SA-MIL@PEI treatment reached 2.19, exceeding the values of blank (1.87) and urea (1.62), implying transiently elevated Cd dietary risk within short-term pot incubation, while Cr carcinogenic risk was lowered into safe range.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"252 ","pages":"Article 124500"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Growth traits, root biomass, and essential oil (EO) content were evaluated, and EO composition was characterized by GC–FID and GC–MS.

Solvent screening identified ethyl formate as the highest-yielding solvent among those that produced a free-flowing oil within the tested panel. Key operating variables were first evaluated by single-factor experiments and then optimized by Box–Behnken response surface methodology. The best operating conditions within the investigated domain (700 W, 28 mL/g, 9.1 min; rotation speed fixed at 56 r/min) achieved an oil yield of 13.0%, in good agreement with the model prediction. The fitted quadratic model was highly significant (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.0001) with nonsignificant lack-of-fit, supporting its use for process-domain mapping. The RSM model further delineated an operating window satisfying predicted oil yield ≥ 12.0% and direct extraction electricity ≤ 0.12 kWh per 10-g batch within the tested factor ranges. Kinetic analysis using a pseudo-first-order model further parameterized intensification: MRE delivered the highest equilibrium yield (Ye = 12.6671%) together with a high rate constant (<em>k</em> = 0.3680 min⁻¹), indicating simultaneous improvements in extraction capacity and rate relative to reference methods. Under the defined boundary of direct microwave and rotary-motor electricity use during extraction, MRE required 0.112 kWh and corresponded to 58.56 g CO₂ while providing an electricity-normalized performance of 110.04%/kWh.

This study optimized a two-stage low-temperature stratification treatment and integrated physiological, transcriptomic (RNA-seq), and non-targeted metabolomic (LC–MS) analyses to investigate the physiological and molecular changes during seed dormancy release. Seeds began to germinate after 180 days of stratification, reaching a germination rate of 92.63%, indicating that prolonged low-temperature stratification effectively promoted seed dormancy release under the experimental conditions used in this study. During stratification, gibberellic acid (GA₃) content increased, whereas abscisic acid (ABA) content and the ABA/GA₃ ratio decreased. Starch, soluble protein, and soluble sugar contents declined markedly. Key enzyme activities involved in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and the pentose phosphate pathway increased, whereas catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities decreased. Transcriptome analysis and WGCNA revealed significant enrichment of pathways related to lipid storage, energy metabolism, and hormone signaling. The diterpenoid biosynthesis pathway and GA signaling were consistently enriched across stratification stages. WGCNA identified GA2ox as a hub gene, while multi-omics integration revealed significant correlations between flavonoid biosynthesis genes and metabolite accumulation. <em>CCoAOMT</em> expression was positively correlated with the accumulation of multiple flavonoids, including quercetin, epicatechin, and xanthohumol. Collectively, the results indicate that seed dormancy release during cold stratification is associated with coordinated changes in hormone balance, reserve mobilization, energy metabolism, and flavonoid metabolism.

Total phenolic content correlated most strongly with bitterness among all physiological indicators measured. Soil mulching reduced middle-section bitterness by 69.7%, whereas light exclusion alone had no significant effect.
