Accumulation of salts in soils has become a serious environmental threat for plant growth and causes considerable loss in yield. Okra Abelmoschus esculentus L. is an important crop and sensitive to saline stress. In the present study, to explore methods for growing okra in salty area, exogenous gibberellic acid (GA₃) and ascorbic acid (AsA) were foliage applied on okra seedling under NaCl stress....
Continuous cropping of cotton causes accumulation of allelochemicals in soil that results in substantial crop yield and quality losses. To elucidate the physiological mechanism of the effects of allelochemicals on cotton root growth, and solve the problem of continuous cropping obstacles, hydroponics experiments were carried out to study the effects of three allelochemicals (p-hydroxybenzoic acid...
The micro air nucleus widely distributed in the ocean is a necessary condition for the cavitation of hydraulic machinery in seawater. In order to study the stability of air nucleus in seawater and cavitation inception, the computational domain of water molecules with air nucleus was studied using the method of molecular dynamics simulation, and the transient characteristics of air nucleus in liquid...
Background: Mishandling of intracellular chloride (Cl−) concentration ([Cl−]i) in cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells is implicated in several pathological processes, including hyperplasia and remodeling. We investigated the effects of ClC-2-mediated Cl− efflux on the proliferation of human brain vascular smooth muscle cells (HBVSMCs) induced by angiotensin II (AngII). Methods: Cell proliferation...
Background: Patients with anti-β2GPI antibodies display significantly higher platelet activation/aggregation and vascular endothelial cell damage. The mechanism underlying the correlation between platelet activation, vascular endothelial cell dysfunctions and anti-β2GPI antibodies remains unknown. Methods: In this study, we derived miR-96 and -26a from platelets activated by the antiβ2GPI/β2GPI complex...
Using a CIRAS-2 portable photosynthesis system, the photosynthesis, transpiration, and light responses of Aralia elata were studied under different soil moisture values with the aim of understanding the adaptability of this species to different light and soil water conditions. The results showed that the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), and water use efficiency (WUE) of A. elata...
Pakistan is home to three of the world’s largest mountain ranges in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB), where the majority of Pakistan’s water resources are located: the Himalayan, Karakorum, and Hindu-Kush. This work estimated the (snow+glacier) and rainfall runoff from one of the major tributaries, the Gilgit River, nestled within the UIB of Pakistan. The snowmelt runoff model (SRM) derived by the cryospheric...
