To investigate the influence of salinity and calcium (Ca) on some properties of Plantago ovata, a pot factorialexperiment based on randomized complete block design with three replicates was conducted in Jiroft, south of KermanProvince, Iran. Three salinity levels of 0, 100 and 200 mM NaCl and Ca levels of 0, 5 and 10 mM Calcium nitrate wereapplied as the first and second factors, respectively. ...

Nitrate and certain short chain nitrocompounds and nitro-oxy compounds are being investigated as dietary supplements to reduce economic and environmental costs associated with ruminal methane emissions. Thermodynamically, nitrate is a preferred electron acceptor in the rumen that consumes electrons at the expense of methanogenesis during dissimilatory reduction to an intermediate, nitrite, whic...

A subtractive tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) root cDNA library enriched in genes up-regulated by changes in plant mineral status was screened with labeled mRNA from roots of both nitrate-induced and mineral nutrient-deficient (-nitrogen [N], -phosphorus, -potassium [K], -sulfur, -magnesium, -calcium, -iron, -zinc, and -copper) tomato plants. A subset of cDNAs was selected from this library ba...

This work aimed to characterize beverage wastewater generated in the industry and assess treatment plant performance by fungi (Penicillium sp.) feasibility of reuse. Freshly discharged was collected analyzed for physicochemical parameters such as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical (COD), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Nitrate, Phosphate, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Copper, Zinc standard metho...

We investigated the relevance of anions for the regulation of renin secretion from the kidneys. For this purpose we measured renin release from isolated rat kidneys that were perfused with medium containing either 120 mmol/l (normal) chloride or 95 mmol/l of isethionate, acetate, or nitrate anions in exchange for equimolar amounts of chloride. Lowering the extracellular chloride concentration b...

The effect of various salts such as magnesium nitrate, calcium nitrate, zinc nitrate, and magnesium chloride on vapor−liquid equilibrium (VLE) of the ethyl acetate−ethanol system was studied experimentally in a modified Othmer still at atmospheric pressure. The influence of cation and anion of the salts on the VLE of the ethyl acetate− ethanol system was examined. It was observed that the order...

Seventeen water-soluble substances (of sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, formate, methanesulfonate, glyoxylate, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, glutarate, succinate, malate, malonate, sulfate and oxalate) in 94 samples of particle matter the ambient air, collected over ten months, a suburb Belgrade (Serbia), were determined by ion chromatography. To apportion sources air pollution, l...

To study the effect of potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate and kaolin (Aluminum silicate) on pomegranate cv. Wonderful, this was conducted during 2020–2021 to investigate possibility minimizing percentages sunburn fruit cracking ameliorating yield quality aforementioned period. Four sprays consisting at 1%, 2% 3%, 2%, 3% 4%, 4% 6% water only (control) were sprayed trees May, July, August. The re...
