The effect of NO3- uptake on cellular pH was studied in maize roots by an in vivo 31P-NMR technique. In order to separate the effects on cytoplasmic pH due to NO3- uptake from those due to NO3- reduction, tungstate was used to inhibit nitrate reductase (NR). The results confirm that in maize roots tungstate inhibited NR activity. 15N-NMR in vivo experiments demonstrated the cessation of nitroge...

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different types of nutrients induced salinity on the growth, membrane permeability, nitrate reductase activity, proline content and macronutrient concentrations of tomato plants. The plants were subjected to six different treatments: 1 (control) containing basic solution, 2 basic solution+40mM of NaCl, 3 basic solution+40 mM of...

Lettuce has a predisposition to nitrate accumulation and led many researchers develop research reduce this accumulation. The objective of study was evaluate the effect concentration (NO3-) nitrate/ammonium ratio (NO3-:NH4+) on growth, production these nitrogen compounds in lettuce grown hydroponic system southern Amazon. There were performed two experiments with Iceberg type, floating-hydroponi...

Groundwater is the source of all tap water in Kumamoto City, Japan. However, concentration nitrate nitrogen (NO3−-N) tends to increase every year due influences overfertilization, field disposal livestock manure, and inflow domestic wastewater. A heterotrophic nitrification–aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) system an attractive approach for nitrate-nitrogen removal. In this study, Rhodotorula gra...

a set of multicomponent perovskite oxide nanoparticles based on la1-xsrxco1-yfeyo3-δ(lscf) were prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method for application in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (lt-sofc) as cathode materials.  the precursor materials used in this synthesis were lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate [la(no3)3.6h2o], strontium nitrate [sr(no3)2], cobalt nitrate hexahydrate [co...

The reaction of the hydrazone, 2-methoxy-6-(pyridin-2-yl-hydrazonomethyl) phenol (LH) with lanthanide(iii) nitrate salts in the presence of excess triethylamine afforded the heptanuclear Ln(iii) complexes: [Gd7(L)6(μ3-OH)8(NO3)4(H2O)]·(NO3)3·8CH3CN·H2O (), [Tb7(L)6(μ3-OH)8(NO3)4]·(NO3)3·9CH3CN·2CH3OH·3H2O (), [Dy7(L)6(μ3-OH)8(NO3)4(H2O)]·(NO3)3·7CH3CN·3H2O (), [Ho7(L)6(μ3-OH)8(NO3)4]·(NO3)3·11C...

Soil nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) data arranged on a three-dimensional grid were analyzed to compare tillage effect on the spatial distribution of residual NO3-N in the soil profile of agricultural plots drained by subsurface tiles. A three-dimensional median-based resistant (to outlier(s)) approach was developed to polish the spatially located data on soil NO3-N affected by directional trends (non...

Groundwater contamination was characterised using a methodology which combines shallow groundwater geochemistry data from 17 piezometers over a 2 yr period in a statistical framework and hydrogeological techniques. Nitrate-N (NO3-N) contaminant mass flux was calculated across three control planes (rows of piezometers) in six isolated plots. Results showed natural attenuation occurs on site alth...

We demonstrate the application of the combined experimental-computational approach for studying the anionic impurities in hydroxyapatite (HAp). Influence of the carbonation level (x) on the concentration of the NO3(2-) radicals in the HAp nanocrystals of Ca10-xNax(PO4)6-x(CO3)x(OH)2 with x in the range 0 < x < 2 and average sizes of 30 nm is investigated by different analytical methods includin...
