Elucidating elemental mapping and their concentration correlation in unfixed aged leaves of Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis and Azadirachta Indica
Particle Induced X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy (PIXE) using scanning proton microbeam was used to investigate elemental concentration mapping and the correlation between the concentration of macro and micro-elements at significant regions of interest in Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) and Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves. These plants are widely studied medicinal plants used for their healing properties in both traditional and modern practices. The detected elements in all leaves included macro-elements such as Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, and Ca, as well as micro-elements like Sc, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn. A focused study on the different color leaves of the hibiscus was carried out to distinguish between the distribution of elements with aging. Aged hibiscus leaf was also found to accumulate heavier elements such as S, Cl, and Ca and be deficient in Fe, leading to toxicity and yellowing. Moreover, an aged neem leaf showed high amounts of Si, K, Ca, and Fe, showing good retention of elements even with low cellular processes and nutritional transport.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
