Many short-term studies with dietary nitrate supplementation in humans and animal models reported positive effects on the cardiovascular system, exercise efficiency, immune function. However, there has been long-standing concern related to cancer adverse hormonal effects. We studied long-term of different potassium (KNO3) concentrations laboratory mice longevity structural changes their organs....

The effects of major mineral salts, L-glutamine, myo-inositol and carbon source on shoot bud proliferation of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cv. Mejhoul were evaluated. Different concentrations of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3; 550, 825 or 1650 mg/L), potassium nitrate (KNO3; 633.3, 950 or 1900 mg/L), calcium chloride dehydrate (CaCl2·2H2O; 147, 220 or 440 mg/L), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (...

Plant growth and development was affected greatly through salinity. Appropriate nutrients application on salinity condition can reduce its harmful effects and increased productivity of salinized soils. A pot experiment was carried out in 2007 in cs Lab., Department of Agronomy, Kyungpook National University, Korea to assess the effects of potassium nitrate on Gycine max (Var. Daewonkong) under ...

This study was conducted to examine the effects of Salicylic acid (SA) and Potassium nitrate (KNO3) on plant height flowering time groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under induced stresses salinity, drought combined salinity drought. Three watering regimes namely; normal, moderate severe were used. For stress, 50 mM NaCl, 100 150 NaCl combination water ?m KNO3 SA separately applied plants water, s...

(1) Background: Seed treatment with potassium nitrate (KNO3) has been associated dormancy breaking, improved germination and enhanced seedling growth uniformity in a variety of plant species. However, the KNO3 effect seems to be dependent on species conditions. (2) Methods: We describe incubation dry pea seeds different concentration water uptake kinetic, early growth, antioxidant metabolism ho...

Germination is considered a critical step in the development cycle of plant. But no information available regarding seed priming with Putrescine, Jasmonic acid, Kinetin, Potassium Nitrate (KNO3), Salicylic acid at time aged and non-aged seeds sorghum cultivars. However, to know effect aforesaid chemicals cultivars on germination rate, vigour alpha-amylase activity, research was conducted under ...

Azurin which has attracted much attention as potential anticancer agent in recent years is a bacterial secondary metabolite. This copper-containing redox protein secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa capability of preferentially entering into many human cancer cells and inducing apoptosis. In this study, whey the considerable by-product casein or cheese manufacture was used azurin production mediu...

To compare the responses of two open-pollinated tomato varieties to germination parameters and shoot growth, seeds varieties, Mersa Tekeze-1 were given osmopriming treatments with potassium nitrate (KNO3) in a lab setting. A completely randomized design four replications was used. The analysis variance revealed that both responded differently priming concentrations significantly ( <math xmlns="...
