among the environmental stresses, salinity is a major limiting factor in world legumes production is considered. in this study, sodium chloride and salicylic acid interaction on growth parameters were investigated in greenhouse with factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications. the plant consisted of three cultivars of lentil (kimiya, kermanshah and gachsara...

The aim of the study was to throw more light on PbCl 2 mode action (MoA) depending genotype by application three model organisms and microbiological, biochemical, molecular approaches. Three systems – Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain 137C wild type (WT), Saccharomyces cerevisiae D7ts1, Pisum sativum L. cultivar Ran1 two experimental schemes short- long-term treatments were used. C. S. cell susp...

In healthy mature motoneurons (MNs), KCC2 cotransporters maintain the intracellular chloride concentration at low levels, a prerequisite for postsynaptic inhibition mediated by GABA and glycine. KCC2 expression in lumbar MNs is reduced after spinal cord injury (SCI) resulting in a depolarizing shift of the chloride equilibrium potential. Despite modeling studies indicating that such a downregul...

To reveal the effects of cadmium exposure on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, we examined the expression and function of 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp78) , an ER-resident molecular chaperone, in LLC-PK1 cells. In cells treated with 10 microM cadmium chloride, Grp78 protein levels increased after 6 hr and remained elevated at 24 hr. When cells were incubated with 1-20 micr...

nowadays soil contamination with heavy metals is considered as one of the most serious environmental concerns. among the heavy metals, lead due to inverse impacts on human health and substantial environmental problems causes major concern.this study was carried out with the aim of assessing the ability of different corn cultivars in a greenhouse condition for the accumulation of lead metal. tre...
