Proline content increased greatly in detached rice (Oryza sativa cv. Taichung Native 1) leaves during senescence. There was a slight but significant increase in proline level after one day of incubation, and, subsequently, proline accumulated relatively rapidly. By 4 days after excision, the level
The radioactivity in tobacco leaves collected from 15 different regions of Greece before cigarette production was studied in order to find any association between the uptake of the naturally occurring radionuclides and the isotopes of cesium of Chernobyl origin. The activities of the isotopes of
Potassium (K) plays important roles in the metabolism of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but studies of K deficiency affecting C-N balance are lacking. This study explored the influence of K deficiency on C-N interaction in cotton leaves by conducting a field experiment with cotton cultivar DP0912
Triple-barrelled microelectrodes measuring K(+) activity (a(K)), pH and membrane potential were used to make quantitative measurements of vacuolar and cytosolic a(K) in epidermal and mesophyll cells of barley plants grown in nutrient solution with 0 or 200 mM added NaCl. Measurements of a(K) were
OBJECTIVE
To investigate nutrient composition in moringa leaves and compare with those of kale (Brassica carinata) and Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris).
METHODS
Laboratory based study, nutrient composition of fresh and cooked leaves of M. stenopetala were analyzed.
METHODS
Gama-Gofa, south-western
Evaluation of nitrogen (N) status by leaf color is a kind of classic nutritional diagnostic method. However, the color of leaves is influenced not only by N, but also by other nutrients such as potassium (K). Two-year field trials with a factorial combination of N and K were conducted to investigate
Over millions of years, plants have evolved a sophisticated network of K+ transport systems. This Botanical Briefing provides an overview of K+ transporters in various leaf tissues (epidermis, mesophyll, guard cells and vascular system) at both the cellular and organelle levels. Despite the
In this chapter, a rapid method to isolate intact chloroplasts from spinach leaves is described. Intact chloroplasts are isolated using two short centrifugation steps and avoiding the use of percoll gradient. Intactness of chloroplast is evaluated by the inability of potassium ferricyanide to enter
Two molecular forms of glutamine synthetase localized in the cytoplasm and in chloroplasts, respectively, were detected in pumpkin leaves. Ammonium infiltrated into intact pumpkin leaves activated the synthesis of both enzyme forms. Glutamine synthetase from chloroplasts and the cytoplasmic enzyme
