Rapid Change in Water Flux Induced by Auxins

Rapid change in water flux induced by auxins.

Auxin (indole-3-acetic acid) enhances movement of tritiated water into and out of stem segments of etiolated peas. The time required for water in the tissue to attain one-half equilibrium with water in the surrounding solution is significantly shorter and the initial flux rate is higher in auxin-treated sections. The response is one of the most rapid to auxin, occurring well within 1 min after ...

Water Flux Induced Reorientation of Liquid Crystals

It is well understood that the adsorption of solutes at the interface between a bulk liquid crystal phase and an aqueous phase can lead to orientational or anchoring transitions. A different principle is introduced here, whereby a transient reorientation of a thermotropic liquid crystal is triggered by a spontaneous flux of water across the interface. A critical water flux can be generated by t...

Rapid detection of the most important pathogenic microorganisms in water and Food by (Chromogenic media)

Abstract Background and Objectives: Chromogenic media are the newest methods applied for rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms in drinking water and food from 1998-2008. These Specific media contained the compounds acting as a substrate for microbial enzymes and, according to the type of enzyme, produce specific color. The aim of this study was to introduce the chromogenic media as a pow...
