TL;DR: In this article, a study of Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. K-25 was subjected to water stress by withholding water for 10 days at 20 (WS I) and 30 (WS II) days after sowing (DAS).
Abstract: Plants of Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. K-25 were subjected to water stress by withholding water for 10 days at 20 (WS I) and 30 (WS II) days after sowing (DAS). Seedlings were sprayed with double distilled water (DDW) or 10−5M salicylic acid (SA) at 45 DAS. The water stress at earlier stage of growth (20 day stage) was more inhibitory as compared to the later stage (30 day stage). The plants exposed to water stress exhibited a significant (p<0.05) decline in photosynthetic parameters, membrane stability index (MSI), leaf water potential, activity of nitrate reductase (NR), carbonic anhydrase (CA), chlorophyll and relative water content (RWC). A follow-up treatment with SA protected against the stress generated by water and significantly improved the above parameters. However, proline content and antioxidant enzymes increased under drought as well as under SA treatments.

TL;DR: This review is an effort to provide a recent update into the diversity of genes in Acidobacteria useful for characterization, understanding ecological roles, and future biotechnological perspectives.
Abstract: Acidobacteria represents an underrepresented soil bacterial phylum whose members are pervasive and copiously distributed across nearly all ecosystems. Acidobacterial sequences are abundant in soils and represent a significant fraction of soil microbial community. Being recalcitrant and difficult-to-cultivate under laboratory conditions, holistic, polyphasic approaches are required to study these refractive bacteria extensively. Acidobacteria possesses an inventory of genes involved in diverse metabolic pathways, as evidenced by their pan-genomic profiles. Because of their preponderance and ubiquity in the soil, speculations have been made regarding their dynamic roles in vital ecological processes viz., regulation of biogeochemical cycles, decomposition of biopolymers, exopolysaccharide secretion, and plant growth promotion. These bacteria are expected to have genes that might help in survival and competitive colonization in the rhizosphere, leading to the establishment of beneficial relationships with plants. Exploration of these genetic attributes and more in-depth insights into the belowground mechanics and dynamics would lead to a better understanding of the functions and ecological significance of this enigmatic phylum in the soil-plant environment. This review is an effort to provide a recent update into the diversity of genes in Acidobacteria useful for characterization, understanding ecological roles, and future biotechnological perspectives.

TL;DR: The single- and double-diffractive cross sections were calculated combining relative rates of diffraction with inelastic cross sections and compared to previous measurements at proton–antiproton and proton-proton colliders at lower energies, to measurements by other experiments at the LHC, and to theoretical models.
Abstract: Measurements of cross sections of inelastic and diffractive processes in proton--proton collisions at LHC energies were carried out with the ALICE detector. The fractions of diffractive processes in inelastic collisions were determined from a study of gaps in charged particle pseudorapidity distributions: for single diffraction (diffractive mass $M_X 3$) $\sigma_{\rm DD}/\sigma_{\rm INEL} = 0.11 \pm 0.03, 0.12 \pm 0.05$, and $0.12^{+0.05}_{-0.04}$, respectively at $\sqrt{s} = 0.9, 2.76$, and 7 TeV. To measure the inelastic cross section, beam properties were determined with van der Meer scans, and, using a simulation of diffraction adjusted to data, the following values were obtained: $\sigma_{\rm INEL} = 62.8^{+2.4}_{-4.0} (model) \pm 1.2 (lumi)$ mb at $\sqrt{s} =$ 2.76 TeV and $73.2^{+2.0}_{-4.6} (model) \pm 2.6 (lumi)$ mb at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV. The single- and double-diffractive cross sections were calculated combining relative rates of diffraction with inelastic cross sections. The results are compared to previous measurements at proton--antiproton and proton--proton colliders at lower energies, to measurements by other experiments at the LHC, and to theoretical models.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of citrus limetta peel (CLP) as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of Methylene blue (MB) dye was investigated.
Abstract: In the present work, the potential of citrus limetta peel (CLP) as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of Methylene blue (MB) dye was investigated. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to find out how adsorption was affected by various factors like contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH and temperature. The experimental data was analysed in the light of Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The data was found to be best represented by Langmuir adsorption isotherm with maximum adsorption capacity for monolayer coverage was found to be 227.3 mg/g. The data were analysed in the light of different available kinetic models and was observed to be best followed pseudo-second order kinetics. Desorption of MB-loaded CLP was studied with various desorbing agents and HCl was found to be most effective desorbing agent among HCl, NaOH, NaCl, CH3COOH and deionised doubly distilled water (DDDW). Results suggest that CLP is a very effective low cost adsorbent for the removal of dyes from wastewater.
