Addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an osmotic agent (at -230 kilopascals) dramatically lessened the toxicity of NaCl (at 50 moles per cubic meter) to rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings. This was explained by a reduction in the uptake of NaCl. This reduction was much greater than could be accounted for by the lowered transpiration rate resulting from the solute potential changes due to the P...

Domestic soybean production is getting weaker due to drought stress which affects all aspects of plant growth and metabolism, besides using adaptive varieties, increasing nutrition, especially potassium, also tolerance drought. The research aimed examine the effect potassium application on morphophysiological two varieties under stress. was conducted in a plastic house, Deli Serdang Regency, No...

Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1 (PBCV-1) is the prototype of a family of large, double-stranded DNA, plaque-forming viruses that infect certain eukaryotic chlorella-like green algae from the genus Chlorovirus. PBCV-1 infection results in rapid host membrane depolarization and potassium ion release. One interesting feature of certain chloroviruses is that they code for functional potassium...

The interaction between sodium and calcium, magnesium and calcium and the combined effect of sodium, magnesium and calcium was observed on the growth and ion uptake of Hippophae rhamnoides L. The results demonstrated that an addition of sodium with calcium, (set a, Na 2.5 + Ca 5 mM) showed prominent increase in fresh weight of roots and shoots. The dry weight (average) of roots decreased an...

     The aim of the present research was to study the effects of weak cation exchange resins, polacrilex with exchangeable H+ and polacrillin potassium and strong cation exchange resin sodium polystyrene sulfonate on water uptake behavior of ranitidine hydrochloride. Drug resin complexes (DRC) were prepared and evaluated for the percentage of moisture gain when placed in a humidity c...

Carbonisation of potassium phthalimide (PPI) generates microporous carbons with exceptional gas uptake at 25 °C; 5.2 mmol per g CO 2 @ 1 bar, and methane storage 338 cm 3 (STP) −3 100 bar 100–5 working capacity 249 .

Elemental uptake and export of the cell are tightly regulated thereby maintaining the ionomic homeostasis. This equilibrium can be disrupted upon exposure to exogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to reduction or elevation of the intracellular metal ions. In this study, the ionomic composition in the eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae was profiled using the inductively...

The concentration of potassium in plasma is maintained within the normal range in man by many different physiological factors. The kidney is obviously of prime importance, as demonstrated by the hyperkalaemia which develops in renal failure [ 11. Several circulating hormones are, however, also of importance in potassium homoeostasis. Insulin enhances the uptake of potassium in muscle, liver and...
