The equation used for the calculation of RWC is as follows: [RWC = [(FW - DW) / (TW - DW)] (2) Determination of antioxidative attributes of chickpea plants To measure the total proline contents of plant leaves, the standard protocols of Bates et al. [42] were followed and the ...
The environment becomes increasingly reduced due to microbial consumption of electron acceptors following the sequence: (1) loss of O2O2 (aerobic respiration); (2) loss of NO2−3NO32− (denitrification); (3) loss of SO2−4SO42− (sulfate reduction); and (4) accumulation of CH4CH4 ...
aerobic microorganisms and roots, leading to soil anoxia or severe hypoxia [2,3]. Since O2is unavailable for radial entry into the root system in flooded conditions, longitudinal O2transport between shoot and root takes place and is essential for root respiration and plant growth [1,4]. The ...
Note the first equation is particularly valuable to the brewing industry. Major Steps in Respiration: Glycolysis—the first step does not require oxygen gas (O2) and takes place in the cytoplasm. The glycolytic phase is subdivided into three main steps and several smaller ones. Each step is med...
S1A)—and cumulative soil-derived respiration (CO2-C) after 30 days (Early: R2 = 0.59; P < 0.01) and 185 days of decomposition (Intermediate: R2 = 0.32; P = 0.02). Full size image Field study To evaluate whether the mechanisms implied by our experimental results are...
Transformation behavior of PBDEs in soil and sediments strongly depends on the degree of bromination and the concentration of oxygen, organic matter and microorganisms in these compartments as well. In general, low brominated compounds tend to be degraded under aerobic conditions, while high brominated...

in which oxygen diffusion into roots was limited either by soil particles or water films. They showed that root-soil contact considerably affects the partial oxygen pressure required for aerobic respiration, which was higher for soil grown roots than for those in well-stirred nutrient solutions. In...
light. The primary mechanism plants have for capturing light energy is the pigment chlorophyll. All green plants contain two forms of chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The latter of these pigments is not found in red or brown algae. The simple equation of photosynthesis is as ...
the fluorescence intensities of the fully reduced and oxidized forms of the biosensor can be determined experimentally, the resulting data can be employed to calculateOxDNERNST25,26(see Eq.(2)in Methods), and the NADP(H) redox potentialENADP(H)estimated fromOxDNERNSTusing the Nernst equation: ...
