Table detailing the compounds released via root exudation by the plant as it develops. These were collected over a period of 3 days (7-10 days, 14-17 days, 21-24 days and 28-31 days). Compounds were detected using GC-MS. Numbers indicate the average area under the curve of three replicates, numbers in parenthesis indicate the standard deviation.

A tremendous diversity of plants exude sticky and toxic latex upon tissue damage, and its production has been widely studied as a defensive adaptation against insect herbivores. Here, we address variation in latex production and its constituent chemical properties (cardenolides and cysteine proteases) in 53 milkweeds [ Asclepias spp. (Apocynaceae)], employing a phylogenetic approach to test mac...

Roots of taro (Colocasia esculenta [L.] Schott cvs Bun-long and Lehua maoli) exuded increasing concentrations of oxalate with increasing Al stress. This exudation was a specific response to excess Al and not to P deficiency. Addition of oxalate to Al-containing solutions ameliorated the toxic effect of Al.

IT is still not clear how the cornea which has no vessels in its tissue is nourished, but the problem of the nutrition of tissue is closely related to the vascular structure, so that if we wish to solve the problemi of corneal nutrition we must examiine the constructioni and functionis in niormal anid abnormal situations of the finest conjunctival capillaries aIt the limbtis terminating in the ...

We report a case of Coats disease in a 9-year-old boy who had a profound visual deficit and increasing pain in his right eye. Funduscopic examination revealed a complex, exudative retinal detachment with a subretinal mass and peripheral retinal telangiectasis. B-scan ultrasonography revealed a heterogeneously echogenic subretinal mass with several highly reflective foci consistent with calcific...

Plant roots release a wide range of chemicals into soils. This process, termed root exudation, is thought to increase the activity of microbes and the exoenzymes they synthesize, leading to accelerated rates of carbon (C) mineralization and nutrient cycling in rhizosphere soils relative to bulk soils. The nitrogen (N) content of microbial biomass and exoenzymes may introduce a stoichiometric co...

Following the enzymatic debridement of deep dermal burns, choice wound dressing is crucial for providing an adequate environment and suitable conditions rapid healing. As Suprathel® fatty gauze (Jelonet®) are most commonly used dressings in burn centers, aim this study to compare Jelonet® treatment burns after with respect healing, patient comfort, pain. A total 23 patients hand or foot (mean b...
