Improving reproductive efficiency of chickpea by foliar application of zinc

Zinc deficiency is not only the cause of low productivity of crops, but it also results in low zinc content in seeds, which leads to poor dietary zinc intake. To study the effect of zinc foliar application on improving plant yield and seed zinc content for human consumption, chickpea plants were raised in refined sand culture with deficient (0.2 μM) and sufficient (1μM) supply of zinc under gla...

Opioid substitution: improving cost-efficiency.

Editorials 83 The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime in its 2012 World drug report estimates that 0.6% of the world's adult population – some 27 million people – are problem users of illicit drugs. 1 This represents about 10% of all people who used illicit drugs in 2011 and suggests that most people can use drugs recreationally without becoming dependent. What makes these 10% different is...

Improving zinc efficiency of cereals under zinc deficiency

One of the widest ranging abiotic stresses in world agriculture arises from low zinc (Zn) availability in calcareous soils, particularly in cereals. Cereal species greatly differ in their zinc effici ency (ZE), defined in this article as the ability of a plant to grow and yield well under Zn deficiency. ZE has been attributed mainly to the effi ciency of acquisition of Zn under conditions of lo...

Cetylpyridinium Chloride Micelle-mediated Mutual Separation of Zinc, Cadmium, and Mercury Ions by Thin-layer Chromatography

Cationic surfactant-mediated systems containing different concentrations of cetylpyridinium chloride have been used as mobile phases in thin-layer chromatographic separation of metal cations on silica layers. The effect of surfactant concentrations below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) on the retention behaviour of metal ions was examined. The best TLC system for rapid mutual...
