The Cytochemical Localization of Ascorbic Acid in Root Tip Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intracellular distribution of ascorbic acid was studied in frozen-dried root tips of Allium cepa and Vicia faba by the silver nitrate procedure. The sites of the ascorbic acid as indicated by the deposited silver appear as spherical (0.2 to 0.6 micro in diameter) cytoplasmic particles. The site appears to have small amounts of lipides and to be rich in ribonucleic acid. These particles are concluded to be submicroscopic in size and associated, in the elongating cell, with the cell surface. In the meristematic cells they appear fewer in number and are distributed throughout the cytoplasm.

Alleviation of Adverse Effects of Copper on Allium cepa L. by Exogenous Ascorbic Acid Application
Abstract In this study ameliorative effects of ascorbic acid (0.5 mM) on onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Red Azarshahr) under copper stress (Cu: 6.5 μM) were studied. Fresh weights of leaves and roots were reduced in seven week old plants under excess copper condition. Cu stress also reduced membrane stability index in leaves. There was a considerable increase in H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation i...

Bougainvillea (Bougainvilleaspectabilis) is used for planting in the landscape because of their beautiful and colorful flowers. The easiest and cheapest technique to propagate this plant is by cuttings; however the cuttings of this plant are not easily rooted and require the special treatments, including the use of auxin. For this purpose, an experiment was performed in Completely Rand...
متن کاملThe Inhibitory Effects of Ascorbic Acid, ?-Tocopherol, and Sodium Selenite on Proliferation of Breast Cancer Cell Lines
The role of antioxidants in prevention and treatment of cancers have been reported by several studies. In our investigation we studied the effects of ascorbic acid, ?-tocopherol, and sodium selenite on proliferation of two breast cancer cell lines: T47D (estrogen-receptor positive) and MDA-MB-231 (estrogen-receptor negative). We also used 17-?-estradiol as positive control for proliferation of ...
