(2016) Commentary: Conservation of AtTZF1, AtTZF2, and AtTZF3 homolog gene regulation by salt stress in evolutionarily distant plant species. In the research article entitled " Conservation of AtTZF1, AtTZF2, and AtTZF3 homolog gene regulation by salt stress in evolutionary distant plant species " , D'Orso et al. (2015) have presented the genomic characterization of two homeologous zinc finger ...

abstract due to calcareous soil conditions, zinc deficiency is a yield limiting factor for wheat production in iran. one solution for this problem is the cultivation of zn-efficient wheat varieties. ten wheat cultivars (nine bread wheat and one durum wheat) with different tolerance to zn deficiency were studied in a greenhouse experiment. plants were treated with zn (10 mg zn kg-1 soil as znso4...

Advances in our understanding of the genetics of type 2 diabetes have been astronomical over the past decade with more than 100 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with modest increases in diabetes risk and differences in related traits such as fasting glucose (1,2). However, these SNPs have contributed more to elucidating biologic pathways than predicting diabetes risk (3). Nonet...

Electronic goods are a major consumer of many critical metals, including copper, nickel, tin, zinc, lead, and precious metals. The processing end-of-life electronic equipment (E-Scrap) is becoming increasingly important to maintain the supply metals required globally, reduce environmental pollution. Currently, dominant route for E-Scrap pyrometallurgical processing, with first stage being reduc...

During the passage of atmospheric precipitates through porous dump body, products oxidation sulfide minerals are dissolved. As a result, underspoil waters with low pH values and significant amount dissolved metals formed. For most part, all types sewage produced by mining processing enterprises (underspoil, colliery, pit, drainage) combined before treatment, which leads to formation common wate...

zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. this leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. in order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. elemental analysis in eac...

Nowadays, discharge of toxic heavy metals into the environment is anincreasing global concern. In light of this and that the per capita consumption of mushrooms has increased in Iran, the current study was carried out to investigate the levels and health-risk assessment of elements arsenic (As) and zinc (Zn) through consumption of button mushrooms marketed in Kermanshah city in 2016.In this des...

Reconnaissance geologic investigations by I.L. Tailleur in 1968 noted the presence of widespread iron-oxide staining in creek beds in the Wulik River and Ikalukrok Creek drainages of the western Brooks Range. A brief examination of one of these creeks revealed the presence of weathered sulfide-bearing bedrock and stream sediments containing more than 10 percent lead (Tailleur, 1970). Tailleur n...

A hydrometallurgical process for recycling spent Zn-MnO2 batteries was developed, involving leaching with sulfuric acid, purification by precipitation and metals separation for further recovery. Leaching of zinc oxide was easily attained while for manganese oxide was rather difficult depending on temperature and acid concentration. At 90oC and with the liquid/solid ratio of 20 L/kg, more than 9...
