Operation of the xanthophyll cycle in higher plants in response to diurnal changes in incident sunlight

TL;DR: Changes in the carotenoid composition of leaves in response to diurnal changes in sunlight were determined in the crop species Helianthus annuus, Cucurbita pepo, and pumpkin, and in the perennial shrub Euonymus kiautschovicus Loesner.

Responses of antioxidant gene, protein and enzymes to salinity stress in two genotypes of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) differing in salt tolerance.

TL;DR: Antioxidant gene expression was positively related to isoenzymatic and total enzymatic activities during 12-d salt-treated leaves of two genotypes, with a relatively higher level in salt-tolerant genotype, suggesting salt tolerance could be related to the constitutive/induced antioxidant gene, leading to more efficient enzyme stimulation and protection in perennial ryegrass.

Cadmium adsorption on vermiculite, zeolite and pumice: batch experimental studies.

TL;DR: The extent of cadmium sorption was vermiculite>zeolite> pumice>pumice, as shown by the Langmuir and Freundlich parameters, and it was highly dependent on mineral characteristics, and the primary variable responsible for determination of Cadmium mobility in these minerals was confirmed to be pH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial populations and phenolic acids in soil

TL;DR: Populations of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in Portsmouth A 1 - and B,-soil material were affected in different ways by repeated enrichment with ferulic, p-coumaric, p -hydroxybenzoic or vanillic acids.

Effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles on growth and antioxidant system of chickpea seedlings

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the root growth of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L var. HC-1) seedlings.
