The title compound, disodium dimanganese(II) tris-[ortho-molybdate(VI)], was prepared by solid-state reactions. The structure can be described as being composed of Mn2Mo2O14 double-chains that are inter-connected by corner-sharing with MoO4 tetra-hedra, leading to a three-dimensional framework with channels propagating in [100] and [001] in which the Na(+) counter-cations are located. One of th...

Invasive plants are recognized for their impressive abilities to withstand adverse environmental conditions however, all invaders do not express the similar abilities. Therefore, survival, growth, nutrient uptake and fecundity of two co-occurring, invasive Physalis species were tested under water and salinity stresses, and different soil textures in the current study. Five different water stres...

Levels of selected metals Na, Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cd, Pb and Mn were estimated by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry in groundwater samples from Kasur, a significant industrial city of Pakistan. Salient mean concentration levels were recorded for: Na (211 mg/l), Ca (187 mg/l), Mg (122 mg/l), K (87.7 mg/l), Fe (2.57 mg/l) and Cr (2.12 mg/l). Overall, the decreasing metal concen...

Seed priming with vitamins is an efficient method for increasing seedlings growth and productivity under stressful conditions. This study aimed to investigate the priming of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds using 100 mg L ascorbic acid and nicotinamide and to study their interactions on growth and some physiological parameters of plant under salt stress (150 mM NaCl) for 4 weeks. Salinity treat...

The relationship between the increase in noradrenaline (NA) turnover and endogenous opioid peptides in the hypothalamus under stressful situations was investigated in rats using a specific antagonist of opioids, naloxone. Male Wistar rats were injected subcutaneously with saline, naloxone at 1 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg 10 min before exposure to immobilization stress for 1 hour. Levels of NA and its majo...
