In vitro evaluations of salinity (NaCI) effects on three potato cultivars (Atlanta, Shepody and Shilbilaty ) were investigated with five NaCI levels ( 0, 25, 50, 75 and100 mM) by using single node explants. Significant differences were noticed among the cultivars followed by different NaCl levels. Salinity stress gradually depressed plant growth and root development with increased NaCl concentr...

Conductivity of molten alkali metal chlorides is the foundation molten-salt electrolysis process. In study, equilibrium molecular dynamics was performed to investigate ionic conductivities chloride binary systems. The calculated values were in good agreement with experimental results. Simple databases for conductivity have been built based on verified algorithm. Mathematic expressions vs. tempe...

The phase behaviour of two model multi-component salt-water mixtures (NaCl-KCl-H2O and NaCl-Na2SO4-H2O) was investigated for the application supercritical water desalination (SCWD). experimental investigation a two-step procedure starting with qualitative analysis followed by quantitative measurements. experiments served as screening step to visually inspect behaviour. results NaCl-KCl-H2O, sho...

Activity of endogenous auxins and growth inhibitors, gibberellins and cytokinins was observed in the extracts of seedlings of Pisum sativum under NaCl stress. After 6 days of germination, when Pisum sativum seedlings were subjected to low concentration of NaCl (50 mM) or boron (10 ppm) increased the endogenous growth regulating substances. Higher concentration of NaCl (150 mM) decreased endogen...

NaCl induces DNA breaks, thus leading to cellular senescence. Here we showed that Ku86 deficiency accelerated the high NaCl-induced cellular senescence. We find that 1) high NaCl induces rapid cellular senescence in Ku86 deficient(xrs5) cells, 2) Ku86 deficiency shortens lifespan of C. elegans in high NaCl, and 3) cellular senescence is greatly accelerated in renal inner medullas of Ku86 (-/-) ...
