The collected plant roots were brought back to the laboratory, and the soil particles on the root surface were carefully washed with water. Images of maize roots were digitized using an Epson Perfection V850 Pro scanner, and WinRHIZO software was used to measure total root length, total root surface area, and total root volume. Root biomass is the weight recorded after drying at 105°C until reaching constant weight. A pH meter (Mettler Toledo FE28-Standard, Switzerland) was used to measure soil pH at water: soil ratio of 2.5:1. The H2SO4–K2Cr2O7 external heating method (Hu et al., 2022 (link)), alkali diffusion method, spectrophotometry (Shimadzu UV-1780, Japan; Shao et al., 2019 (link)), flame photometry (Shanghaiyuefeng FP6400, China; Chen et al., 2021 (link)), the drying method, H2SO4-HClO4 digestion—spectrophotometry (Shimadzu UV-1780, Japan), H2SO4-HClO4 digestion—flame photometry (Shanghaiyuefeng FP6400, China; Mei et al., 2021 (link)), and an elemental analyzer (Euro EA3000, Italy) were used to measure the content of SOC, AN, AP, AK, soil moisture content, total P (TP), total K (TK), and total N (TN), respectively.

Concentrations of major cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) were measured by ICP-OES (ICAP 6300, Thermo Scientific Inc., Rochester, NY, USA) with a precision of ±3% at the Institute of Hydrogeology and Environmental Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences. Volumetric titration with Disodium Ethylene diamine tetra acetate (EDTA, 0.01N) with an analytical error of <2% was used to analyze SO42−. The titration method was employed to analyze Cl and HCO3. An ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer (UV-1780, Shimadzu, Japan) was used to analyze NO3. The charge balance error was calculated to validate the quality of major ion analysis, which was within ±5%.

Three replicated samples for each senescence stage were used to perform physiological analysis. As described by the method of Liu92 (link), the measurement of chlorophyll (Chl) followed the procedures of extraction, storage, centrifugation and colorimetry. The absorbance of supernatant was measured using a spectrophotometer (UV-1780, Shimadzu, Japan). Malondialdehyde (MDA) content was quantified by the instruction of Saher93 (link).

Comprehensive Material Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms were collected by using a physisorption analyzer (Autosorb iQ Station 1, Quantachrome Co.) at 77 K held using a liquid nitrogen bath. The multipoint BET method and the slit-pore model-based nonlocal density functional theory method were applied to calculate the specific surface area and the pore width distribution, respectively. Water vapor isotherms were collected using the physisorption analyzer at 298 K. A field-emission scanning electron microscope (SEM, Ultra-55, Zeiss Co.) with an accelerating voltage of 5 kV was used to observe the morphology of samples. An ultrathin gold layer was coated on the prepared sample by using an ion sputter coater to minimize the recharging effect. An atomic force microscope (AFM, Bioscope Catalyst Nanoscope-V, Bruker, USA) was employed to measure the surface roughness of membranes. An ultraviolet absorption experiment was carried out by using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer (UV-1780, SHIMADZU). An optical contact angle and interface tension meter (ST200KB, USA KINO Industry Co.) was used to investigate the water and blood contact angles of samples. The zeta potential of membranes was measured by using a streaming potential analyzer (SurPASS, Anton Paar, Austria) with the background electrolyte of 1 mmol l−1 KCl solution.

The UV-Vis transmittance was measured using a spectrophotometer (UV-1780, Shimadzu, Japan) with a wavelength from 200–900 nm. The UVA and UVB blocking rates of the composite films were calculated by Equations (1) and (2): UVA blocking=1320400Tλ×dλ320400dλ 
UVB blocking=1280320Tλ×dλ280320dλ 
where Tλ is the average spectral transmittance, d(λ) is the bandwidth, and λ is the wavelength.

Chlorophyll (chl) was extracted using 80% (v/v) acetone, ground into homogenate, and then stored in darkness for 10 min. The samples were centrifuged at 12,500× g for 10 min, and the absorbance of supernatant was measured at 470, 646, and 663 nm with a spectrophotometer (UV-1780, Shimadzu, Japan). The calculation of chlorophyll was as described by Liu [87 (link)]. MDA contents were measured using 5% thiobarbituric acid, as described by the method of Saher [88 (link)].

Proline Content Determination Protocol

A series of standard curves of the proline solution were drawn. We accurately weighed 0.2 g of a mixed blade sample, added liquid nitrogen to grind into powder, and then quickly transferred the sample to a test tube. We added 2 cm3 30 g/dm3 sulfosalicylic acid solution to each test tube, and the homogenate was extracted in a boiling water bath for 10 min after cooling. The sample was centrifuged at 3000× g for 10 min, and the supernatant was the extraction solution of proline.
We took 2 cm3 of supernatant into the tube with a plug, added 1 mL distilled water, 1 mL glacial acetic acid, and 2 cm3 acid ninhydrin reagent, and colored them in a boiling water bath for 1 h. After cooling, 2 cm3 toluene was added to each tube, and the tube was fully shaken for 30 s, and then placed for stratification. The upper toluene solution was absorbed into the colorimetric cup. Toluene was used as a blank control. The absorbance value was determined at 520 nm wavelength of the spectrophotometer (SHIMADZU, UV-1780, Tokyo, Japan). We determined the content of proline in the determination solution from the standard curve, and then calculated the percentage of the proline content in the sample.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
