HIGHLIGHTS Methods to carry out the vegetative and sexual propagation of C. galioides were investigated. Cuttings can be used in without use growth regulators. Gibberellic acid potassium nitrate increased germination percentage seeds. Seeds treated with gibberellic germinated earlier than other treatments.

The Front Cover shows the most active molecule of a series nitrate coumarins, coumarin-7-yl-methyl nitrate, that “magically” releases nitric oxide into bloodstream, leading to vasodilatory effect. Synthesized nitrate−coumarins show potent vasodilator activity on isolated rat aortic rings deprived endothelium, with higher effect those pre-contracted phenylephrine than potassium chloride. This su...

Dox medium which contains 1.0 g. NaNO3/l. (0.1 %). As the nitrate concentration is further increased, the growth, indicated by the mycelium yield and the production of solerotiose, is progressively reduced. While Fig. 1 indicates that maximum KCl consumption is obtained on media of low nitrate content, Fig. 2 shows a parallelism of sclerotiorine production with growth, in nitrate concentrations...

Diaper dermatitis (DD) complicated by candidiasis is a common problem in diaper-wearing infants and children. We report a double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a low concentration of miconazole nitrate in a zinc oxide/petrolatum ointment for the treatment of DD complicated by candidiasis. Patients (N=330) who had DD with a severity score of...

We studied the effect of norepinephrine, calcium concentration, and rate of discharge in the presence of different [Ca2+]0 on radioactive potassium movements in cardiac Purkinje fibers. The following results were obtained: (1) norepinephrine increases potassium uptake in quiescent fibers and in fibers driven at constant rate, but more in the latter; (2) norepinephrine also increases potassium u...

The effect of NaCl and Na(2)SO(4) salinity on NO(3) (-) assimilation in young barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var Numar) seedlings was studied. The induction of the NO(3) (-) transporter was affected very little; the major effect of the salts was on its activity. Both Cl(-) and SO(4) (2-) salts severely inhibited uptake of NO(3) (-). When compared on the basis of osmolality of the uptake solutions, ...

Chloride and sodium are the main ions contributing to soil salinity in many regions but chloride is an essential element necessary for plant growth and development. It also controls the growth of some pathogens in plants. In this experiment, the effect of the chloride ion in nutrient solution on yield and fruit quality of two strawberry cultivars: ‘Selva’ and ‘Camarosa’ grown in hydroponic cult...
