Phosphorus (P) deficiency and low water supply are major environmental constraints for agricultural production in many regions. Compared to cereal crops, the soybean (Glycine max.L.) is more susceptible to phosphorus insufficiency and drought. A soil pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse to investigate the effects of phosphorus deficiency and pseudomonas florescence and azotobacter chr...

background/objective: hyperphosphatemia is the consequence of end stage renal failure. inadequate control of serum phosphorus results in elevated ca × p product with subsequent soft tissue deposition in the form of conjunctival and corneal calcification.  in this study, we evaluated the relationship of conjunctival and corneal calcification with secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis pat...

Appropriate management of soil phosphorus (P) fertility in highly calcareous soils of Iran as around the world should rely upon sound knowledge about the phosphorus reserve and its bioavailability. Despite numerous reports on the positive effects of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) fungi on phosphorus uptake which is associated to Ectomycorrhiza as a branch of two major branches of group ...

The effects of phosphorus deficiency on carbohydrate accumulation and utilization in 34-day-old soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) plants were characterized over a diurnal cycle to evaluate the mechanisms by which phosphorus deficiency restricts plant growth. Phosphorus deficiency decreased the net CO(2) exchange rate throughout the light period. The decrease in the CO(2) exhange rate was associate...

The phosphorus chemical shift tensors of two dithiadiphosphetane disulfides, 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-di sulfide (1) and 2,4-bis(methylthio)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disu lfi de (2), have been characterized by solid-state 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. The weak homonuclear dipolar interaction between the two 31P nuclei in each of thes...

The removal and the recovery of nutrients, namely nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from anaerobically digested and solid-liquid separated manure effluents via struvite precipitation were investigated. Both the liquid and the solid phases of the poultry manure digester effluent were subjected to struvite precipitation experiments. The Mg:N:P molar ratio of 1:1:1 in the liquid phase resulted in an...

Nutrient inputs from rivers play an important role in lake eutrophication. To compare the forms characteristics of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) in rivers flowing through rural and urban areas, water samples were collected seasonally from five urban rivers and six rural rivers flowing to Lake Chaohu, China. Higher total phosphorus (TP), particulate phosphorus (PP), soluble reactive phosphorus...

The present study was undertaken to determine whether improvement of hyperglycemia alters calcium and phosphorus handling, parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and bone turnover in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We measured serum and urinary mineral levels, serum intact PTH and osteocalcin on admission and at discharge (38 +/- 3 days later, Means +/- SEM) in 28 pa...

Many types of organic phosphorus (P) molecules exist in environmental samples. Traditional P measurements do not detect these organic P compounds since they do not react with colorimetric reagents. Enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) is an emerging method for accurately characterizing organic P forms in environmental samples. This method is only trumped in accuracy by Phosphorus-31 Nuclear Magnetic Reson...
