In cucumber seedlings, gravitropism interferes with hydrotropism, which results in the nearly complete inhibition of hydrotropism under stationary conditions. However, hydrotropic responses are induced when the gravitropic response in the root is nullified by clinorotation. Columella cells in the root cap sense gravity, which induces the gravitropic response. In this study, we found that removi...

Hydrotropic treatment is an attractive process that uses water-soluble and environmentally friendly chemicals. Currently, this method is practically unexploited on a large scale due to the long treatment times required. In this study, the hydrotropic process was modified by the addition of hydrogen peroxide, formic acid, or both. The modified treatments were more selective than the reference, a...

The present work aimed to increase the solubility of poorly water-soluble drug plumbagin using hydrotropic solubilization technique. Plumbagin is a potent natural product extracted from plant Plumbago zeylanica L. belonging family Plumbaginacea. It can be used treat rheumatoid arthritis, dysmenorrhea, injury, and cancer. An oral liquid syrup was prepared caffeine as agent. results showed 97 fol...

grayiperception in roots. The time required for transduction and transmission in the hydrotropic respQnse of ageotropum was compared to the time requireme"t in the grayity response of Alaska pea roots. We determined that threshold time for perception of an osmotic stimulation in the root cap is yery rapid, occurring in less than 2min following the application of sorbitol to the root cap. Furthe...

Polyglycerol dendrimers (PGDs) with 4-5 generations were synthesized and used to investigate the effect of dendritic architecture and its generation on aqueous solubilization of paclitaxel (PTX), a poorly water-soluble drug. Chemical and physical properties of the PGDs were characterized by NMR, MALDI-TOF mass, GPC, viscosity, and dynamic light scattering measurements. The PTX solubility in all...

Roots are highly plastic and can acclimate to heterogeneous and stressful conditions. However, there is little knowledge of the effect of moisture gradients on the mechanisms controlling root growth orientation and branching, and how this mechanism may help plants to avoid drought responses. The aim of this study was to isolate mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana with altered hydrotropic responses....

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. It is practically insoluble in water. The effect of hydrotropes such as urea and sodium citrate and blends (urea + sodium citrate) on the solubility of aceclofenac was investigated. The enhancement in the solubility of aceclofenac was more than 5 and 25 folds in 3...
