Cadmium uptake kinetics in intact soybean plants.
The absorption characteristics of Cd(2+) by 10- to 12-day-old soybean plants (Glycine max cv Williams) were investigated with respect to influence of Cd concentration on adsorption to root surfaces, root absorption, transport kinetics and interaction with the nutrient cations Cu(2+), Fe(2+), Mn(2+), and Zn(2+). The fraction of nonexchangeable Cd bound to roots remained relatively constant at 20...
متن کاملNon-invasive manipulation of membrane potential in intact living cells
All living cells contain the electrogenic enzyme Na/K ATPase, whose function is to pump ions against the electrochemical gradient, in order to provide potential energy which is later used for cellular processes such as action potentials, muscle contraction and facilitated transport. Using a technique developed in our lab, exploiting the molecule’s voltage dependence, it is possible to increase ...
متن کاملChlorophyll fluorescence imaging of cadmium-treated white cabbage plants
The chlorophyll fluorescence imaging technique is a valuable tool to study the impact of heavy metal stress in plants. The aim of this paper was to investigate the influence of Cd on photosynthetic apparatus of white cabbage (Brassica oleracea subsp. capitata f. alba) plants. Two cabbage cultivars ‘Ditmarska Najwcześniejsza’ (‘DN’; early) and ‘Amager Polana’ (‘AP’; late) were used. Cd was appli...
متن کاملNon-invasive imaging of non-linear interactions
Interactions between neuronal assemblies form a basis for the mechanism of functional integration that underlies most of our actions. Studying these interactions is important for understanding the principles of brain operation. However, such neuronal communications are hallmark of a living brain and therefore it is of paramount importance to develop tools for imaging of these interactions on th...
متن کاملNon-invasive imaging with UWB
Cancer is the main killing disease and breast cancer is the most common tumor among women. Compared to other cancers, the survival rate in case of breast cancer is high when detected early. Therefore intense screening programs are initiated. The standard for detection of breast cancer is mammography, which has several disadvantages such as ionizing radiation, high false-positive and false-negat...
