summary. The aim of this investigation was to identity effective criteria for classification of salt tolerance and salt sensitivity in rice cultivars by using multivariate characters. Osmolarity in salt-stressed leaves decreased, and was positively related to low water potential (Ψ w) (r 2 =0.99 and r 2 =1), leading to chlorophyll a degradation (r 2 =0.65 and r 2 =0.77) in both salt-tolerant (H...

High salinity is a major environmental stressor for crops. To understand the regulatory mechanisms underlying salt tolerance, we conducted a comparative transcriptome analysis between salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive jute (Corchorus spp.) genotypes in leaf and root tissues under salt stress and control conditions. In total, 68,961 unigenes were identified. Additionally, 11,100 unigenes (includi...

OBJECTIVE To assess the salt content of continental European convenience and ready meals. DESIGN A multistage study in which, after laboratory analysis of the products' salt contents (n 32), new salt-reduced meals were developed through food reformulation. Additionally, a comprehensive survey of convenience meals from the Austrian market (n 572) was conducted to evaluate the salt contents of ...

Inbred Dahl/Rapp salt-sensitive and salt-resistant rats differ in their blood pressure response to dietary salt. We studied sodium-hydrogen (Na-H) exchanger kinetics in renal brush border membrane vesicles prepared from both strains on either a 1% or 8% NaCl diet. Kinetics measurements were made with the acridine orange fluorescence quenching technique in vesicles prepared at pH 6.0. The initia...

Salt cress (Thellungiella halophila), a halophyte, is a genetic model system with a small plant size, short life cycle, copious seed production, small genome size, and an efficient transformation. Its genes have a high sequence identity (90%-95% at cDNA level) to genes of its close relative, Arabidopsis. These qualities are advantageous not only in genetics but also in genomics, such as gene ex...

Bamboo salt is a traditional healthy salt known in Korea. The in vitro anticancer effects of the salt were evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay in TCA8113 human tongue carcinoma cells. At 1% concentration, the growth inhibitory rate of purple bamboo salt was 61% higher than that of sea salt (27%). Apoptosis analysis of the cancer cells was c...

Female rats treated with deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) and salt do not get as hypertensive as male DOCA-salt treated rats. The adrenal gland contributes to the development and maintenance of DOCA-salt hypertension in male rats. However, little is known about adrenal medullary function in DOCA-salt hypertensive female rats. This study tested the hypothesis that bilateral removal of the adre...

INTRODUCTION Ambulatory blood pressure monitors have been used in salt loading and depletion protocols. However, the agreement between measurements made using ambulatory blood pressure monitors and those made with the sphygmomanometer has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the concordance of the two methods of blood pressure measurements in protocols of a...

screening methods that are effective in the early stage of growth will potentially provide the largest quantity of breeding material. although various screening methods under greenhouse have been proposed, potential effective approaches must be described a good correlation with results under field conditions. this study was aimed to assess the correlations between traits obtained from four salt...

High salt intake increases the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Given the role of knowledge as a determinant of food intake, this paper aims to review the current levels of salt knowledge and the association between salt knowledge and dietary salt intake and salt-related dietary practices in the general population. Twenty two studies were included in the review. In general, the...
