Plant exudates may stabilize or weaken soil depending on species, origin and time
We hypothesized that plant exudates could either gel or disperse soil depending on their chemical characteristics. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Optic) and maize (Zea mays L. cv. Freya) root exudates were collected using an aerated hydroponic method and compared with chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed exudate, a commonly used root exudate analogue. Sandy loam soil was passed through a 500-μm mesh...
متن کاملHaemoglobin hope and glycated haemoglobin: one peak may or may not hide the other, depending on the assay.
Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), or glycated haemoglobin, is he product of a non-enzymatic reaction of glycation and an mportant biochemical marker that is widely used to estimate ong-term glycaemic control in diabetic patients. Given the averge lifespan of red blood cells, this marker allows the evaluation f glycaemic control over the past 2–3 months as well as the uture risk of developing diabetes-re...
متن کاملSpecies diversity or biodiversity?
Species diversity and biodiversity are widely used terms in ecology and natural resource management. Despite this, they are not easily defined and different authors apply these terms with varying connotations. The term biodiversity, in particular, has the dubious honour of being widely used but rarely defined. Is it simply the number of species or is it something more? Here I consider what thes...
متن کاملProtein Synthesis Subserves Reconsolidation or Extinction Depending on Reminder Duration
When learned associations are recalled from long-term memory stores by presentation of an unreinforced conditioned stimulus (CS), two processes are initiated. One, termed reconsolidation, re-activates the association between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli and transfers it from a stable protein synthesis-independent form of storage to a more labile protein-dependent state. The other i...
متن کاملTissue transglutaminase promotes or suppresses tumors depending on cell context.
Despite major advances in diagnosis, surgical and postsurgical techniques and adjuvant therapies, 7.5 million individuals worldwide still die of cancer every year. Most cancer deaths result because tumor cells metastasize to distant organs and/or acquire resistance to conventional therapies. Therefore, elucidation of tumor-encoded genes whose expression contribute to the development of drug res...
