Water deficit is one of the most important environmental stresses limiting plant growth and crop yield. While the identification of many key factors involved in the plant water deficit response has greatly increased our knowledge about the regulation system, the mechanisms underlying dehydration tolerance in plants are still not well understood. In our current study, we investigated the roles o...

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important tropical fruits with inimitable taste, unique flavor, fragrance, and therapeutic traits. It national fruit Pakistan commonly called king fruits, however, it very challenging to protect keeping quality fruit. To enhance shelf life overcome microbial count, edible biodegradable (aloe-pectin) coatings were applied on minimally processed (osm...

In deciduous trees, measurement of stem water potential can be difficult during the leafless period in winter. By using thermocouple psychrometry, osmotic water potentials (Ψo; actual Ψo: Ψo(act); Ψo at full saturation: Ψo(sat)) of expressed sap of bark and bud tissue were measured in order to test if the severity of winter desiccation in apple stems could be sufficiently assessed with Ψo. Wate...

ABSTRACT In a randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the effects of five oral electrolyte solutions (OESs) with different compositions water, electrolyte, and acid-base balances diarrheal neonatal calves. Osmotic diarrhea dehydration were induced sucrose in milk, spironolactone, hydrochlorothiazide for 48 h thirty 10-day old Holstein healthy calves 43.5 ± 3.80 kg BW who fed natural milk. The...

Interaction of hemoglobin S polymers with the red blood cell (RBC) membrane induces a reversible increase in permeability ("P(sickle)") to (at least) Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), and Mg(2+). Resulting changes in [Ca(2+)] and [H(+)] in susceptible cells activate 2 transporters involved in sickle cell dehydration, the Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) ("Gardos") channel (K(Ca)) and the acid- and volume-sensitive K:C...

osmotic stress is one of the major factors that significantly reduce yields in dry areas. plants respond to this abiotic stress at physiological and molecular levels. many genes are induced under stress conditions by transcription factors. dehydration responsive element binding (dreb) protein is a subfamily of ap2/erf transcription factors which control expression of many osmotic stress-inducib...

Dehydrofreezing is a food freezing method in which the foods are partially dehydrated before freezing. In this study, carrots were frozen with convective (-30, -35, -40oC and 2 m/s airflow) cryogenic methods after dehydrating them by different (osmotic dehydration, vacuum drying). The effects of dehydration method, conditions storage time on β-carotene amounts dehydrofrozen changes content duri...
