To further clarify the specific photochemical mechanisms of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated adaptation to salt stress, this experiment was conducted to examine the effect of SA (100 and 500 μM) on photosynthesis, antioxidative capacity and phenolic metabolism in strawberry plants under salt stress (50 mM). The results showe...

In a paper from this laboratory, describing the dependence of the solubility of the plasma proteins in concentrated salt solutions on the salt and plasma concentrations (l), we pointed out the advantage of using potassium phosphate as a precipitating salt inasmuch as the salt concentration and pH of such solutions could be varied independently as described by Cohn (2). For the specific purpose ...

Decreasing dietary sodium intake, which can be achieved by reducing salt content in food, is recommended. Salt contributes to the taste of foods and makes them more enjoyable. Whether a food is liked or disliked is an important determinant of food intake, especially among children. However, the role of salt in children's food acceptance has received little attention. The impact of salt content ...

Plant growth and development are adversely affected by salinity – a major environmental stress that limits agricultural production. This chapter provides an overview of the physiological mechanisms by which growth and development of crop plants are affected by salinity. The initial phase of growth reduction is due to an osmotic effect, is similar to the initial response to water stress and show...

Dietary salt is a major determinant of fluid intake in adults; however, little is known about this relationship in children. Sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption is related to childhood obesity, but it is unclear whether there is a link between salt and sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption. We analyzed the data of a cross-sectional study, the National Diet and Nutrition Survey for young peo...

Halobacterium cutirubrum extracts exhibit no menadione reductase activity in the absence of salt; activity increases with salt concentration to a maximum at 2 M or higher concentrations of sodium chloride. The enzyme activity lost at low salt concentrations can be restored by adding 2 M NaCl. In addition to this reversible loss of activity, the enzyme also exhibits a time-dependent irreversible...

We studied the effect of salt intake and hypertension on the systemic kallikrein-kinin system (KKS), as measured by bradykinin (BK) 1-5, a stable circulating bradykinin metabolite, and the tissue KKS, as measured by urinary kallikrein excretion. Venous BK 1-5, urinary kallikrein, and components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were measured in 35 normotensive and 19 hypertensive subj...

to study the effect of salinity stress on some physiological attributes of four grape cultivars in vineyards of urmia in iran, an experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with four replications. experimental factors included: grape cultivars qazel ozum, qareh shireh, tabrzeh and dizmari, and salt concentrations 0, 25, 50 and 100 mmol l-1 and locati...
