Regulating Stomatal Opening:-the potassium ion pump hypothesis Guard cells flaccid K+ K+ ions have the same concentration in guard cells and epidermal cells K+ K+ K+ K+ Light activates K+ pumps which actively transport K+ from the epidermal cells into the guard cells K+ K+ K+ K+ K+ ...
Plant growth and photosynthetic ability have been frequently demonstrated to increase with nitrogen (N) supply. N can also promote changes in root water absorption and shoot water status via mechanisms that remain poorly understood. This study aims at investigating the effects of N supply on water ...
This report outlines a preliminary study on the feasibility of using absorption cooling technology to cool thermoelectric power plants. Water availability is becoming more important in the production of energy throughout the world, especially in thermoelectric power generation. Currently, thermoelectric power...
Water deficit has significant effects on grape berry composition resulting in improved wine quality by the enhancement of color, flavors, or aromas. While some pathways or enzymes affected by water deficit have been identified, little is known about the
The target of Rapamycin (TOR) present in all eukaryotes is a multifunctional protein, regulating growth, development, protein translation, ribosome biogenesis, nutrient, and energy signaling. In the present study, ectopic expression of TOR gene of Arabid
and transpiration in green plants, we speculate that low-energy-barrier ion-transport channels may exist within plant cell walls. Therefore, the revelation of the crucial structure-activity relationships in natural membranes may provide valuable guidance for optimizing the design and synthesis of more ...
which clearly showed the presence of small pores on the surface of CNT-treated cells (Figure 3C). These pores were totally absent in the control cells. This shows that the CNTs present on the cell surface might have formed channels for nutrient absorption, which could have increased the cell...
of which the almost exponential absorption curve (down to 325 nm) fits to our curve ofM. leucophaeataF1 (Figure1). Byssal threads apparently are high MW biopolymers as F1 did not demonstrate any entrance of protein into the gel. This started only in the lightly brown F2 and came to full...
