Burley tobacco is a genotype of chloroplast-deficient mutant with accumulates high levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) which would induce malignant tumors in animals. Nitrate is a principle precursor of tobacco-specific nitrosamines. Nitrate content in burley tobacco was significantly higher than that in flue-cured tobacco. The present study investigated differences between the two ...

Non-point agricultural pollution is a major concern in groundwater management. To investigate nitrate input to the subsurface through groundwater recharge, thirteen natural springs were sampled. Discharge, electrical conductivity (EC), nitrate concentration, pH value and water temperature were monitored every two weeks from January 2010 till February 2011 at selected springs in the Osona region...

A large reservoir of soil nitrate in desert subsoil zones has been demonstrated in previous studies; however, information on the subsoil nitrate reservoir and its distribution characteristics in the deserts of China is still limited. This study investigated the distribution patterns of soil total nitrogen (N), nitrate, ammonium, and stable isotopic ratios of (15)N (δ(15)N) in shallow (1 m) and ...

according to the importance of groundwater resources in providing of human needs, lack of control and inappropriate management of these resources can lead to the problems such as nitrate pollutions arising from the use of chemical fertilizers in agricultural lands. with generalized point data to the area using the geostatistics methods can be determine the pollution content in areas without sam...

Background: The aim of this study was to introduce a new and economical method for reduction of nitrate content in canned apples and pears. Methods: The nitrate content was determined before and after treatment with CaHPO4 ranging from 0.01% to 0.1% using spectroscopic method in 2015 in Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center, Pharmaceutical Sciences Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran- Ir...

In recent years, an increasing interest concerning determination of nitrate levels in food products has been observed, essentially due to the potential reduction of nitrate to nitrite, which is known to cause adverse effects on human and animal health. The main goal of this study was measuring nitrate content of pear and apple derived canned products samples commercially available in Iran marke...

Nitrate nutrition and temperature effects on wheat: Soluble components of leaves and carbon fluxes to amino acids and sucrose.—J. exp. Bot. 38: 1091-1103. Amounts of some metabolites and the incorporation of '*CO2 into photosynthetic products were measured in the third leaf of wheat, grown with two rates of nitrate ...
