salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic factors that restrict the growth and yield of many plants. salinity can increasingly influence the host susceptibility, occurrence and development of plant diseases due to its negative effects on the host plants. mycorrhizal fungi are able to increase the tolerance of some plants to salinity. in this study, the biological effects of glomus mo...

thermal behavior of various solid feldspars are different, namely those of bivalent cations show no change in the distribution of al and si atoms, whereas feldspars of univalent cations become more disordered with raising temperature. in the latter case al atoms migrate from the sites they occupe at low temperatures and interchange positions with the si atoms. at high temperatures (but still be...

The Na and K dependence of the Na/K pump was measured in skin fibroblasts from patients with cystic fibrosis and age/sex-matched controls. Under basal conditions, there was no difference between control and cystic fibrosis cells in protein per cell, intracellular Na and K content, or Na/K pump activity (measured as ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake). There was no difference in the Na dependence of ...

this study was carried out on 10 crossbred male sheep aged 1-1.5 year. an innervated crosskopf abomasal fundic pouch was made in each animal and effect o f starvation an d feeding on abomasal volume and composition were assesed . the results indicated that during starvation, volume of secretion , total acidity and k concentration decreased to a low level, while ph and na concentration reached h...

the effects of fish weight on salinity tolerance were studied in caspian salmon (salmo trutta caspius) parr. 180 fish (all with 2 years old but with three weights; 5, 15, 25g) were selected and they reared in freshwater (fw) and brackish water (bw; 13ppt salinity) for 10 days. the mrna expression of two α-subunit isoforms of na+, k+-atpase (α1a and α1b) and nkcc co-transporters were studied in ...

Alterations of cellular function of Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase; Na+-K+ pump) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension. Therefore, this aspect of red blood cell (RBC) Na metabolism was studied in black men with newly diagnosed, untreated essential hypertension (NEH) and a normotensive control group. RBC Na content, Na+-K+ pump number (ouabain binding sit...

Conventional procedures are inadequate for optimizing the concentrations ofnutrients to increase the sugar yield. In this study, an artificial neural network(ANN) was used to optimize the Ca, Mg, N, K and Na content of the storage rootto increase sugar yield (Y) by increasing both sugar content (SC) and root yield(T). Data from three field experiments were used to produce a wide range ofvariati...

Terminal drought stress decreases crop yields by inducing abscisic acid (ABA) and premature leaf senescence. As potassium (K) is known to interfere with ABA homeostasis we addressed the question whether there is genetic variability regarding the role of K nutrition in ABA homeostasis and drought tolerance. To compare their response to drought stress, two barley lines contrasting in drought-indu...
