Saline water has been used in irrigation due to the limited availability of fresh water, especially arid and semi-arid regions. However, use this type can affect crop growth development. Studies have tested chemical conditioners minimize negative effects salinity on plants. In scenario, present study examined role hydrogen peroxide mitigating salt stress zucchini plants grown a hydroponic syste...

Hydroponic systems are efficient for studying plant nutrition. It is often desirable to adjust individual nutrients unique species’ needs and/or create multiple nutrient deficiencies within the same study. However, this challenging do with traditional solutions as generally added dual salts, such when varying phosphorus (P) concentration also affects nitrogen concentration; potentially, chemica...

We report in vitro (cell-free) protein expression in a microfluidic device using passive pumping. The polystyrene device contains 192 microchannels, each of which is connected to two wells positioned in a 384-well microplate format. A larger droplet of an expression solution was placed at one well of each channel while a smaller droplet of a nutrient solution was at the other well. Protein expr...
