When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or have to react to other external stimuli, the first thing they do is increase the proton and calcium concentration in the affected ...
The role of calcium in the mechanical strength of isolated cell walls of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Wayne) hypocotyls has been investigated, using the Instron technique to measure the plastic ...
Researchers from Michigan State University and the RIKEN Nishina Center in Japan discovered eight new rare isotopes of the elements phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, scandium and, most ...
July 12 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered eight new isotopes -- all of them the heaviest-known forms of their respective elements. Through experimentation at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory ...
Using optogenetics, researchers have detected a new acid sensor in plant cells that is addressing a cell-internal calcium store. When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or ...
