The growth of crop plants, particularly spinach ( Spinacia oleracea L.), can be significantly impeded by salinity and drought. However, pre-treating spinach plants with traditional biofertilizers like Jeevamrit and Beejamrit (JB) substantially reverses the salinity and drought-induced inhibitory effects. Hence, this study aims to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that govern the efficacy of traditional fertilizers. The present work employed comprehensive biochemical, physiological, and molecular approaches to investigate the processes by which JB alleviates abiotic stress...

Farmgate balances are used as a tool for monitoring nutrient surpluses at farm level. In Germany, preparation of farmgate balances is legally mandatory and also requires data on chemical body composition, especially concentration of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), of farm animals. It is well known that increased N and P efficiency results in lowered N and P excretions with the manure and therefore mitigates negative consequences of high N and P release into the environment (e.g. eutrophication of surface waters), especially in areas with high livestock density...

Reducing fertilizer input is a goal for helping greenhouse farming to achieve higher sustainability in the production process while preserving overall crop performance and quality. Wild rocket plants were cultivated in a plastic greenhouse divided into two independent sectors, one for soil-bound (SbS) cultivation and another equipped for soilless (ScS) cultivation systems. In both SbS and ScS, the crop was subjected to treatments consisting of a high- and a low-input fertilization program (HF and LF treatment, respectively)...

Over expression of MsSPL12 improved alfalfa salt tolerance by reducing Na+  accumulation and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and regulating down-stream gene expression. Improvement of salt tolerance is one of the major goals in alfalfa breeding. Here, we demonstrated that MsSPL12, an alfalfa transcription factor gene highly expressed in the stem cells, plays a positive role in alfalfa salt tolerance. MsSPL12 is localized in the nucleus and shows transcriptional activity in the presence of its C-terminus...

In solution, DNA is a highly charged macromolecule which bears a unit of negative charge on each phosphate of its sugar-phosphate backbone. Although partially compensated by counterions adsorbed at or condensed near it, DNA still produces a substantial electric field in its vicinity, which is screened by buffer electrolyte at longer distances from the DNA. Such field has been explored so far predominantly within the scope of a primitive model of the electrolytic solution, not considering more complicated structural effects of the water solvent...

The effect of drought stress on leaf physiology was studied in 10-month-old plants of Sindora siamensis. Plants were either placed in an open greenhouse (unhardening; UH) or in an open field (open field hardening; H) for 45days. Both the UH and H plants stopped receiving water (D) until the initial drought injury and then rewatered (R) until complete recovery. Results showed necrosis in the leaves of UH+D, while H+D showed wilting at Day 7 after drought. A greater degree of necrosis was found in UH+D+R but made complete recovery in H+D+R at Day 4 after rewatering...

Switchgrass is an important bioenergy crop valued for its biomass yield and abiotic tolerance. Alkali stress is a major abiotic stress that significantly impedes plant growth and yield due to high salinity and pH; however, the response mechanism of switchgrass to alkali stress remains limited. Here, we characterized PvARL1 , an ARF-like gene, which was up-regulated in both the shoot and root tissues under alkali stress conditions. Overexpression of PvARL1 not only improved alkali tolerance but also promoted biomass yield with more tiller and higher plant height in switchgrass...

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is one of the most widely cultivated forage crops in the world. However, alfalfa yield and quality are adversely affected by salinity stress. Nodulin 26-like intrinsic proteins (NIPs) play essential roles in water and small molecules transport and response to salt stress. Here, we isolated a salt stress responsive MsNIP2 gene and demonstrated its functions by overexpression in alfalfa. The open reading frame of MsNIP2 is 816 bp in length, and it encodes 272 amino acids. It has six transmembrane domains and two NPA motifs...

Drought stress is a major abiotic stress which severely reduces the plant growth and limits agricultural productivity. Previous studies have demonstrated that lutein directly synthesized by the carotenoid epsilon-ring hydroxylase gene (LUT1) played crucial roles in regulating drought response. Notwithstanding the myriad studies on LUT1's response to drought stress in certain plant species such as Arabidopsis, the precise function mechanisms within tree species remain ambiguously understood. Our study reveals that under drought stress, TgLUT1, a novel LUT gene instrumental in β-lutein biosynthesis, was markedly up-regulated in Torreya grandis...

Age-related changes have a great influence on the regulation of water and electrolyte homeostasis in the body, which is regulated by a complex interaction of environmental factors, drinking behavior, the secretion of a number of hormones and hormone-like substances, as well as the innervation and functional state of the kidneys. It is well known that the changes that are part of physiological aging underlie fluid and electrolyte imbalances, exacerbated by the presence of age-related diseases, medications, or a number of external factors such as malnutrition, fluid intake, and the presence of dementia...

Demand for kidney grafts outpaces supply, limiting kidney transplantation as a treatment for kidney failure. Xenotransplantation has the potential to make kidney transplantation available to many more patients with kidney failure, but the ability of xenografts to support human physiologic homeostasis has not been established. A brain-dead adult decedent underwent bilateral native nephrectomies followed by 10 gene-edited (four gene knockouts, six human transgenes) pig-to-human xenotransplantation. Physiologic parameters and laboratory values were measured for seven days in a critical care setting...

Drought and heat are two stresses that often occur together and may pose significant risks to crops in future climates. However, the combined effects of these two stressors have received less attention than single-stressor investigations. This study used a rapid and straightforward phenotyping method to quantify the variation in 128 African eggplant genotype responses to drought, heat, and the combined effects of heat and drought at the seedling stage. The study found that the morphophysiological traits varied significantly among the 128 eggplants, highlighting variation in response to abiotic stresses...

The estrous cycle is known to modify food, fluid, and electrolyte intake behaviors and energy homeostasis in various species, in part through fluctuations in estrogen levels. Simultaneously, commonly commercially available rodent dietary formulations greatly vary in soy protein content, and thereby the delivery of biologically active phytoestrogens. To explore the interactions among the estrous cycle, sodium, fluid, and caloric seeking behaviors, and energy homeostasis, young adult C57BL/6J female mice were maintained on soy protein-free 2920x diet and provided water, or a choice between water and 0...

We describe a pregnant patient with severe compulsive water ingestion and vomiting that lead to metabolic alkalosis and preterm delivery. A 21-year-old patient was hospitalized multiple times throughout pregnancy for symptoms initially thought to be related to hyperemesis gravidarum. Overtime, it became apparent that the patient induced vomiting by rapidly drinking large volumes of water. At 32 weeks' gestation, rapid ingestion of water caused 3 days of vomiting with findings of hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypochloremia, metabolic alkalosis, and compensatory respiratory acidosis...
