The ability of calcium peroxide (CaO(2)) to immobilize As of contaminated soil was studied using pot and field experiments. In pot experiment, CaO(2) applied at 2.5 and 5 g kg(-1) significantly increased celery shoot weight and decreased shoot As accumulation, which was ascribed to the formation of stable crystalline Fe and Al oxides bound As and the reduction of labile As fractions in the soil...

d 1 and Api g 1. Serum of only one patient revealed the presence of antibodies cross-reacting with the apple, celery and carrot protein with the same molecular weight, which may correspond the main allergens of these foods – Mal d 1, Api g 1 Dau c 1. Additionally sera of 6 persons demonstrated the presence of antibodies reacting with apple protein with the molecular weight 10 kDa which may corr...

The introduction of pharmaceuticals into agricultural lands from the application biosolids and animal manure, irrigation with treated wastewater has led to concern for human health after ingestion pharmaceutical-tainted products. In this study, uptake accumulation cephalexin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic, was compared in three common vegetables (lettuce, celery, radish) grown nutrient solut...

Randomly collected samples of parsley and celery from different localities were analyzed to determine their quality based on arsenic concentrations, phenolic constituents the antioxidant capacity edible parts. Arsenic concentrations found in range: root (0.16 μg/g d.m.) < (0.19 leaf (0.35 (0.45 d.m.). Total contents roots similar both species varied significantly depending cultivation site: ...

Apiaceae is a major family from Apiales and includes many important vegetable medicinal crops. Heat shock transcription factors (Hsf) play roles in heat tolerance during plant development. Here, we conducted systematic analyses of the Hsf gene three species, including 17 Apium graveolens (celery), 32 Coriandrum sativum (coriander), 14 Daucus carota (carrot). A total 73 genes were identified rep...
