Open AccessGenetic characterization of a locus responsible for low pungency using EMS-induced mutants in Capsicum annuum L.
The pepper mutants (‘221-2-1a’ and ‘1559-1-2h’) with very low pungency were genetically characterized. The Pun4 locus, responsible for the reduced pungency of the mutant fruits, was localized to a 208 Mb region o...

Open AccessImpact of diatomite addition on lead immobilization in air pollution control residues from a municipal solid waste incinerator
Air pollution control (APC) residues, which are known to be the byproducts of incineration treatment, exhibit a high leaching potential of toxic metals. Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S–H), which is a major hydra...

Inventory of twenty-six combustible wastes as sources of potentially toxic elements: B, Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Sb, Ba, and Pb
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is converted to various materials through treatment processes, which in turn distributes potentially toxic elements (PTEs) to recyclable materials. This study is focused on establis...
