Silicon Enhances Morpho–Physio–Biochemical Responses in Arsenic Stressed Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) by Minimizing Its Uptake by Saleem, Muhammad Hamzah

“…Fifteen days old seedlings of S. oleracea were subjected to the different concentrations of As, i.e., 0 (no As), 50, and 100 µM in the soil which were also supplied with the different exogenous levels of Si, i.e., 0 (no Si), 1.5, and 3 mM. Results from the present study revealed that the As toxicity induced a substantial decreased in shoot length, root length, number of leaves, leaf area, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total chlorophyll, carotenoid content, net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, soluble sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar contents, calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), iron (Fe2+), and phosphorus (P) contents in the roots and shoots of the plants. …”

Impact of moisture contents on the performance of organic bi-layer ITO/OD thermo-electric cells by Ahmad, Zubair

“…The experimental results clearly show that with the increase of temperature Seebeck coefficient increases, whereas with increasing moisture contents the Seebeck coefficient of the ITO/OD thermo-electric cell significantly decreases. Our results point out the need for well-controlled environmental conditions, predominantly moisture level, in order to appraise the thermo-electric performance of organic semiconductor materials. 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.…”

Reduced vasorin enhances angiotensin II signaling within the aging arterial wall by Pintus, Gianfranco

“…The physical interaction between vasorin and TGF-β1 was significantly decreased in old vs. young VSMCs. Further, exposing young VSMCs to Ang II increased the levels of matrix metalloproteinase type II (MMP-2) activation and TGF-β1 downstream molecules p-SMAD-2/3 and collagen type I production up to the levels of old untreated VSMCs, and these effects were substantially inhibited by overexpressing vasorin. …”
