calamus simplicifolius/hypoxia

Acorus calamus is a monocotyledonous wetland plant that can withstand extremely long periods of anoxia. We have investigated the expression of genes coding for pyruvate decarboxylase (Pdc), alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh), and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (Ald) during periods of anoxia ranging

Rhizomes of Acorus calamus L. were able to maintain a functional alpha-amylase under anoxia, whereas a steep decrease in the enzyme protein content and activity took place in potato tubers. The stress-induced control in tubers occurred on the translational level. It is suggested that this decrease

Mature green leaves of Acorus calamus and Iris pseudacorus have been shown to survive at least 28 d of total anoxia in the dark during the growing season, increasing up to 75 d and 60 d in overwintering leaves in A. calamus and I. pseudacorus, respectively. During the period of anaerobic incubation

The nonchlorophyllous (albino) tissue of mature C. blumei leaves is a sink for photoassimilate. Transport from the green to the albino region of the same leaf was inhibited by cold and anoxia. When the green tissue of mature leaves was removed, the remaining albino portion imported labeled

The group comprises 50 intrauterine transfusions in 15 patients with a severe form of foetal erythroblastosis. The authors describe the results and complications in hydropic and non-hydropic foetuses, diagnosed by ultrasound before transfusion treatment was started. In the group of non-hydropic

In the subsurface flow of a constructed wetland (CW) used for treating wastewater, low oxygen diffusion results in long-term anoxic or anaerobic surroundings, which cannot meet the needs of plant respiration and poses a threat to the survival of macrophytes. Although sweet sedge (Acorus
