Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：7.86(Physics, Applied)Radioisotope tracer imaging is useful for studying plant physiological phenomena. In this study, we developed an autoradiography system with phosphor powder (ZnS:Ag), "Live-autoradiography", for imaging radioisotope dynamics in a living plant. This system visualizes the element migration and accumulation in intact plants continuously under a light environment. An imaging test was performed on point sources of 
Cs, with a radioactivity of 10-100 kBq of being observed; this indicates satisfactory system linearity between the image intensity and the radioactivity of Cs. Moreover, dynamics imaging of Cs was performed on an intact soybean plant for four days. The serial images indicated Cs accumulation in the node, vein, and growing point of the plant. The developed system can be used for studying plant physiological phenomena and can be employed for quantitative measurement of radionuclides.

To investigate methodologies of waste management, contaminated materials have been radiochemically analyzed. This paper reviews the analytical data for actinide elements. Actinide nuclides are detected in the contaminated water. The contaminated water is chemically decontaminated, although actinide concentration does not decrease with time. This suggests that actinides come from the damaged fuel with slow dissolution. From the topsoil at the site, Pu, Am and Cm were detected and come from the damaged fuel, whereas U from natural. TRU would slowly move to deeper. Contamination of rubble is nonuniform and actinides are detected as well as fission products. For vegetation, TRU nuclides were found from fallen leaves near the reactor buildings.

We found Cs and Mn desorption concomitant with Al and Fe desorption. These results suggest that root endophytes of Cs accumulator plant produce siderophores, resulting in the desorption of Cs from the contaminated soil collected at Fukushima, Japan.

Humic substances are natural organic matters with heterogeneity in the size distribution and composition of there functional groups. In this study, the effects of organic acid, which are often used as pH buffering agents, on the size of a humic substance and size-dependent binding of metal ions on the humic substance were investigated by flow-field flow fractionation (Fl-FFF). Comparing the three organic acids, Tris, MES, and MOPS, the size of purified Aldrich humic acid (PAHA) changed in the presence of Tris and MES, suggesting that the interaction with these organic acid modulated the molecular structure of PAHA; on the other hand, MOPS hardly affect the size of PAHA. Size-dependent binding of europium (Eu
) and uranium (UO
) were also studied by Fl-FFF in the presence of MOPS. The binding of these metal ions were not homogeneous with respect to the size of PAHA; they exhibited high affinity to PAHA fractions with 5 nm hydrodynamic diameter.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：32.46(Chemistry, Analytical)The deep groundwater HSs were different from surface HSs, having high aliphaticities, sulfur contents, and small molecular sizes. The amounts of their acidic functional groups were comparable to or slightly larger than those of surface HSs; however, the magnitude of Cu binding to the deep groundwater HSs was smaller. The NICA-Donnan model attributed this to the binding of Cu to chemically homogeneous carboxylic-type sites via mono-dentate coordination at relatively low pH. The binding mode tended to shift to multi-dentate coordination with carboxylic-type and probably more heterogeneous alcoholic hydroxide-type groups at higher pH. This study shows the particularity of the deep groundwater HSs in terms of their physicochemical and ion-binding properties, compared with surface HSs.

Ni migration through crushed rock mediaTanaka, Tadao; Sakamoto, Yoshiaki; Mukai, Masayuki; Maeda, Toshikatsu; Nakayama, Shinichi
Radiochimica Acta, 92(9-11), p.725 - 729, 2004/12
Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：10.03(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)Migration experiments of Ni for crushed rocks, granite and tuff, were performed under the coexistent condition with a humic acid and a fulvic acid of 0-30 mg/l in concentration, which are Nordic humic substances supplied from International Humic Substance Society. Migration experiments of Ni had been performed by a column system, to investigate migration behavior of Ni through a column packed crushed rock. The Ni concentration in the effluent passed through the column was corresponding to the fractional percentage of Ni complexing with humic substance in influent solution. This result suggests that the Ni complexing with humic substance in influent solution was flowed out from the column without any effective interactions with the rock media. The migration behavior of Ni could be expressed by a migration model taking account of the complexation kinetics of Ni with humic substance in the aqueous phase.

Times Cited Count：132 Percentile：92.45(Plant Sciences)PCIB (-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid) is known as a putative antiauxin and is widely used to inhibit auxin action, although the mechanism of PCIB-mediated inhibition of auxin action is not characterized very well at molecular level. In the present work, we showed that PCIB inhibited BA::GUS expression induced by IAA, 2,4-D and NAA. PCIB also inhibited auxin dependent DR5::GUS expression. RNA hybridization and quantitative RT-PCR analyses suggested that PCIB reduced auxin-induced accumulation of transcripts of 
genes. In addition, PCIB relieved the reduction of GUS activity in 
transgenic line in which auxin inhibits GUS activity by promoting degradation of the AXR3NT-GUS fusion protein. Physiological analysis revealed that PCIB inhibited lateral root production, gravitropic response of roots and growth of primary roots. These results suggest that PCIB impairs auxin signaling pathway by regulating Aux/IAA protein stability, and thereby affects the auxin-regulated Arabidopsis root physiology.

We have performed migration experiments of Np(V) and Am(III) for crushed granite, under the coexistent condition with humic acid substance. As for Np, the periodical concentration changes in the breakthrough curve and the migration velocity of Np passed through the column were not affected by the coexistence of the humic substance. As for Am, on the other hand, the periodical concentration changes in the breakthrough curve were affected by the humic substance concentration. The migration behavior of Am passed through the present column system could be expressed by a migration model taking account of the non-equilibrium state.
