As a bioactive signal, nitric oxide (NO) is involved in multiple plant physiological responses, especially under some abiotic stress. Here, we investigated the effects of exogenous nitric oxide on both the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging metabolism and regulating functions of plasma membrane and tonoplast in tomato plants treated with 50μM CuCl2. Copper stress induced significant accum...

Infection is the primary source of mortality in burn patients. One of the main treatment methods of burn wound infections is topical antimicrobial therapy, in which drugs have to permeate a dead tissue called eschar. Unfortunately, most antimicrobial agents can not permeate eschar in therapeutic levels. Surprisingly, permeation properties of this barrier and effects of chemical or environmental...

Electrode potential measurements have been applied to study electrical characteristics like transport numbers, permselectivity & fixed charged density of zirconium phosphoborate ion exchange membranes. The potential measurements were made across the cation exchange membrane maintained at 27±0.1 °C, using halide and nitrate salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals as electrolytes. The membrane ...

The asymmetric unit of the title hydrated salt, (C10H18N8S2)2[BiCl6]NO3·2H2O, contains two independent 3-amino-1-carbamo-thioyl-5-[(2-{[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-4-yl)meth-yl]sulfan-yl}eth-yl)amino]-1H-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium cations, one hexa-chloridobismuthate anion, one nitrate anion and two solvent water mol-ecules. The dihedral angles between the imidazole and triazole rings in the cations a...

Pectin was extracted from lime flavedo, albedo and pulp by employing microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) under pressure. Heating times ranged from 1 to 10min. Optimal time of heating was 3min. Molar mass, viscosity, radius of gyration and hydrated radius were found to decrease with heating time. At 3min heating time, depending on the lime fraction which was extracted, weight average molar mass ...

The conversion of methane into liquid biofuels using methane-consuming bacteria, known as methanotrophs, contributes to sustainable development, it mitigates the problem climate change caused by greenhouse gases and aids in producing cleaner renewable energy. In present research, an efficient methanotroph, Methylosarcina sp. LC-4, was studied a prospective organism for biodiesel production meth...

The study of magnetic exchange interaction propagated by multi-atom bridging is of current interest due to insights into the pathway of electron transfer in biological systems and obtaining some useful information about designing molecule-based magnets [1]. Many papers dealing with squarate as multi-atom bridging ligand have been published [2–14], in which most squarates bridge metal ions in ci...
