introduction   heavy metal contamination has disastrous effects on plant productivity and threatens human and animal health. among metals, cadmium (cd) is commonly released into the environment from industrial processes. cd is known to cause cellular damage in plants by producing oxidative stress via the over-production of reactive oxygen species (ros). to combat oxidative damage, plants have d...

in order to evaluate the effect of salinity on water relation, ion accumulation, solute sugar, proline content, chlorophyll florescence and seed yield of isabgul (plantago ovata), french psyllium (p. psyllium) and great plantain (p. major), an experiment was conducted at vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan in 2010. this study was carried out as factorial experiment based on randomized complete b...

This article is devoted to the study of effect ion sputtering on alloy surface, using example martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 with ultrahigh-dose, high-intensity nitrogen implantation efficiency accumulation and transformation depth distribution dopants. Some patterns change in doping depending target temperature range from 400 650 °C, current density 55 250 mA/cm2, fluence up 4.5 × 1021 i...

Osmotically lysed rat liver mitochondria have been utilized for a study of the biochemical and ultrastructural properties in relation to divalent ion accumulation. Osmotic lysis of mitochondria by suspension and washing in cold, distilled water results in the extraction of about 50% of the mitochondrial protein, the loss of the outer mitochondrial membrane, an increase in respiration, and a mar...
