To investigate effects of putrescine (Put) and humic acid (HA) on fruit yield and physiological attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. 'Kano') under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plants were exposed to three different irrigation regimes (33%, 66% and 100% ETc) and were treated with...

Human knee joint menisci graded according to degenerative alterations were submitted to chemical analysis. Normal menisci contained 72% water, 0.12% DNA, 22% collagen, and 0.8% total glycosaminoglycans with the following glycosaminoglycan distribution pattern: 40% chondroitin 6-sulphate, 10-20% chondroitin 4-sulphate, 20-30% dermatan sulphate, and 15% keratan sulphate. The water content increas...

[1] Fundamental and overtone vibrational absorptions of H2O and OH observed in reflectance spectra in the 1.3–5.0 mm wavelength region may be used to estimate the absolute or relative amount of water in particulate materials. Laboratory reflectance spectra of five hydrated materials (sodium and magnesium montmorillonite, sulfate, zeolite, and palagonite) with initial water contents ranging from...

The eggs of Teleogrylhis commodus, like those of many other species of insects, absorb water during their development. The water enters through the shell at a specific stage in the egg's development, and there is an as yet unresolved problem as to how the control of the flow of water is effected (Browning, 1967). Recently it has been shown that the isolated egg-shell of Locusta migratoria migra...

environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. this study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on conocarpus erectus...

A field experiment was conducted over 2 years to evaluate the gas exchange, water relations and water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat under different water stress and nitrogen management practices at Crop Physiology Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Pakistan. Four irrigation levels, i.e. one irrigation (Irrigation at tillering stage), two irrigations (Irrigations at tillering ...

this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...
