Response and tolerance of root border cells to aluminum toxicity in soybean seedlings.

Root border cells (RBCs) and their secreted mucilage are suggested to participate in the resistance against toxic metal cations, including aluminum (Al), in the rhizosphere. However, the mechanisms by which the individual cell populations respond to Al and their role in Al resistance still remain unclear. In this research, the response and tolerance of RBCs to Al toxicity were investigated in the root tips of two soybean cultivars [Zhechun No.

Developmental characteristics and aluminum resistance of root border cells in rice seedlings.

The developmental characteristics of root border cells (RBCs) and their role in protection of root apices of rice seedling from Al toxicity were evaluated in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars differing in Al tolerance. Root elongation and RBCs viability were used as indicators for Al effects.

Solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry for the determination of trace terbutaline sulfate based on its inhibition oxidation of rhodamine 6G by sodium periodate.

When 1.00 mol l(-1) I(-) is used as ion perturber, rhodamine 6G (Rh 6G) can emit strong and stable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) on filter paper substrate in KHC(8)H(4)O(4)-HCl buffer solution (pH = 3.50), heated at 70 degrees C for 10 min.

[Adaptation of myofibrilla, MHC and metabolic enzyme of rabbit diaphragm muscle to different frequency chronic electrical stimulation].

Aim: To detect effect of the different frequency of chronic electrical stimulation (CES) on myofibrillar isoform, myosin heavy chain (MHC) and metabolic enzyme activities.

Methods: The histochemical method and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were respectively employed.

Results: (1)There were a significant increase in I myo-fibrillar isoform and I MHC isoform and decrease in II B myofibrillar isoform and II B MHC isoforms in the chronic low frequency electrical stimulation (CLFES) 10 Hz and 20 Hz groups, but opposite results were found in the chronic high frequency electrical stimulation (CHFES) 50 Hz and 100 Hz groups.
