The effects of different calcium ion concentration in culture medium of epithelim, varient pH, and nucleus rotundus present or absent on the calcium metabolism of epithelim from mantle of Hyriopsis cumingii work were investigated in this study. With the variance of calcium ion concentration and pH, the results obtained by using polarizing microscope showed that there was no significant difference on calcium ion containing of epithelim cells between nucleus rotundus present and absent. Meanwhile, the reproduction of epithlim cell in mantle was occurred after incubation and it was further transferred to form pearl sac. The complete pearl sac is formed when connective tissue cells around epithlim cell of pearl sac. An obvious birefringence was observed by using polarizing microscope and its strength was positively affected by the incubation duration and calcium ion concentration of culture medium. The results demonstrated that with the development of cell and tissue of mantle, the absorption of calcium carbonate from culture medium was occurred and there existed the significant correlation between surrounding calcium ion concentration and absorption or secretion of cultures. The largest quantity of calcium sphere was occurred when the calcium ion concentration was 200 ml/L, which was very significantly higher than that of others (p < 0.01). It was also found that the calcium ion absorption was affected by the culture tissue and the status of culture. Higher calcium ion requirement was in primary culture than that in subculture. The calcium ion absorption and secretion was higher in tissue gobbet than that in single cell. A high significant correlation was observed between calcium ion absorption (Y) and pH (X): Y = 52.34 - 5601.23 X (r = 0.9661, p < 0.05). The calcium ion concentration 200mg/L and pH 7.2-7.5 are suggested for incubation conditions of epithelim primary culture in mantle of Hyriopsis cumingii.

Proteins' flexibility is a feature in communicating changes in cell signaling instigated by binding with secondary messengers, such as calcium ions, associated with the coordination of muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and gene expression. When binding with the disordered parts of a protein, calcium ions must balance their charge states with the shape of calcium-binding proteins and their versatile pool of partners depending on the circumstances they transmit. Accurately determining the ionic charges of those ions is essential for understanding their role in such processes.

Aluminium (Al)-induced programmed cell death (PCD) is thought to be a main cause of Al phytotoxicity. However, the underlying mechanism by which Al induces PCD in plants is unclear. In this study, we characterized the function of AhASRK1 (Aluminum Sensitive Receptor-like protein Kinase1), an Al-induced LRR-type receptor-like kinase gene.

Surface water chemistry of the River Ganga at Varanasi was analyzed at 10 locations over 3 years (2019-2021) across pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons. The study aimed to assess water parameters using principal component analysis (PCA), calculate the water quality index (WQI), determine processes governing water chemistry, evaluate irrigation suitability, and estimate non-carcinogenic health risks. The physical parameters measured included pH (8.

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity poses major challenges to rice cultivation, affecting plant growth and development. Wild rice and nanoparticles offer promising strategies to enhance Cd tolerance, yet little is known about their combined effects. This study evaluates the single segment substitution line (SG004) from Oryza glumaepatula (wild rice) and its response to Cd stress compared to cultivated rice (HJX74).
