    Hyperhydricity control of in vitro shoots of Turbinicarpus valdezianus (Möller) GL & F

    García Osuna HT, A Benavides Mendoza, L Escobedo Bocardo, JA Villarreal Quintanilla, E Cornejo Oviedo

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.80, pp. 175-179, 2011, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2011.80.175

    Abstract Turbinicarpus valdezianus is a species under special protection, according to the current law NOM-059-ECOL-2010. It spreads preferably through shoot proliferation in vitro. A common problem associated with the propagation of this species by tissue culture is the hyperhydricity or excess of water accumulation in the tissues of shoots explants. The literature on this topic indicates that such response is related with oxidative stress. Because of this, the effects of inhibitors of the gibberellins [paclobutrazol (PBZ) and calcium prohexadione (PCa)] and salicylic (SA) and benzoic acids (BA) were tested to diminish the hiperhydrycity of the sprouts, which was… More >

    Effect of Prohexadione calcium, 6-benzyl amino purine and 6-furfuryladenine on vegetative growth and fruit quality in apple

    Ramírez H1, JC Sánchez-Canseco1, VM Zamora-Villa2, JH Rancaño-Arrioja3

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.86, pp. 282-289, 2017, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2017.86.282

    Abstract It is well established that the climatic change is altering yield in fruit trees. This adversity reflects, among others, extreme temperature modifications in northern Mexico. This effect modifies negatively the physiology of apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.), originating excessive shoot growth and a decrease in flower bud formation. In this study, Prohexadione-Ca (P-Ca), 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP) and N6-furfuryladenine (kinetin) were evaluated on shoot and reproductive growth in Golden Delicious apple trees in Arteaga Coah., Mexico. A completely randomized design with 12 treatments was used. These were: Control, Prohexadione calcium (Ca-P) at doses of 150, 300… More >

    Effect of preharvest foliar sprays of calcium nitrate on melon fruit quality

    Muñoz FF, VE Ruiz, CA Bouzo

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.86, pp. 131-136, 2017, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2017.86.131

    Abstract The aim of this work was to study the effect of preharvest foliar spraying with calcium nitrate solutions on the fruit melon quality. Treatments included a combination of five solutions with Ca(NO3)2 (0.0; 1.3; 2.6; 5.2 and 10.5 g/L) and two postharvest storage environments [(24.0 ± 1.5 °C and 6.4 ± 0,8 mbar of vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and 10.0 ± 0.5 °C and 3.0 ± 0.5 mbar (VPD)]. Fruits stored at 24 °C for 11 days had the lowest water loss with treatments 1.3 and 2.6 g/L Ca (NO3)2. It was observed that at both More >

    Calcium content on apple fruit influences the severity of Penicillium expansum

    Guerrero-Prieto VM1, DI Berlanga-Reyes2, JL Jacobo-Cuellar1, C Guigón-Lopez3, DL Ojeda-Barrios4, GD Ávila-Quezada4, A Núñez-Barrios4, OA Hernández-Rodríguez4

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.86, pp. 74-78, 2017, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2017.86.074

    Abstract Calcium content and damage severity of Penicillium expansum because of its high concentration on “Red Delicious” postharvest apples were evaluated during the 2012-2013 winter in Cuauhtemoc, Chih. Mexico. Fruit weight, diameter, total soluble solids, pulp firmness and starch index were also determined. Penicillium expansum was inoculated into two wounds of eight mm diameter and 10 mm depth, on a total of 20 apple fruits per treatment. The inoculum was 0.2 mL of a suspension containing 1×108 conidia/mL. After inoculation, apple fruit was stored at 0 °C and 90% relative humidity during five weeks. Treatments were: apple fruit with More >

    Ketamine effect on intracellular and mitochondrial calcium mobilization

    Juanita BUSTAMANTE1,*, Analía CZERNICZYNIEC2, Silvia LORES-ARNAIZ2

    BIOCELL, Vol.40, No.1, pp. 11-14, 2016, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2016.40.011

    Abstract The suppressive effects of ketamine on intracellular calcium has been reported in a variety of cells although the mechanisms involved are not well understood. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ketamine effect on the mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation and the cellular Ca2+ mobilization using FLUO4-AM and flow cytometry. The results showed that mitochondria from ketamine injected animals presented a lower ability to retain calcium at concentrations higher than 20 μM, as compared with controls (saline injected animals). In addition, ketamine showed a significant decreased KCl-induced intracellular calcium concentration. KCl increased calcium influx through More >

    Changes in soil phosphorus fractions caused by cropping without nutrient reposition. A case study

    Barresi O1,2, VM Chiocchio1,2, RS Lavado2

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.87, pp. 14-17, 2018, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2018.87.014

    Abstract Previous studies in soils of the Pampas region indicate the prevalence of calcium phosphates within the very complex mix of phosphorus (P) compounds in the soils. We studied the changes in P fractions in a punctual situation in the Pampas region. The sampling was carried out in a farm located near the city of Junín (-34.585; -60.9589) and the soil was Junín series Typic Hapludoll. The farm was devoted to grazing and sporadic crops, but from the last 30 years changed to continuous agriculture. At no time fertilization matched nutrients removal by crops. The soil More >

    Calcium Response and Transfer in Bone Cell Network with or without Gap Junctions under Mechanical Stimulation

    Bo Huo, Man Hu, Ping Li

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.18, No.4, pp. 103-104, 2011, DOI:10.3970/icces.2011.018.103

    Abstract It has been widely accepted that movement of human body causes the fluid flow through pores or channels inside bone and subsequently on osteoblasts on the surface of trabeculae and osteocytes inside lacunae. The mechanism of calcium response in a bone cell and calcium transfer between bone cells is critical in understanding the communication between bone cells and calcium deposition on bone matrix. Our previous works have demonstrated that when micropatterned osteoblastic cell network with gap junctions was exposed to fluid flow, extracellular ATP diffusion following the activation of calcium response in neighboring cells plays… More >

    Valorization of a Good Bioceramic from Moroccan Waste Fish Bone by a Heat Treatment Method

    Kaoutar Kara1,*, Fatiha Ouanji2, El Mostapha LOTFI1, Mohammed El Mahi1, Mohamed Kacimi2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.7, No.1, pp. 1-7, 2019, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2019.00016

    Abstract A tricalcium phosphate (TCP) material was produced from sardine and mackerel waste using a heat treatment method after a Soxhlet extraction to obtain the non-soluble portion of fish waste. The bones were annealed at temperatures between 400°C and 1200°C. The thermal analysis (TG-DTA) was carried out to investigate the thermal stability of TCP and to confirm the removal of organic matter from the raw fish. The calcined bones were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The calcium to phosphorous weight ratio was determined by More >

    Studies on Bone-Derived Calcium Phosphate Materials

    Agnieszka Sobczak-Kupiec1, Klaudia Pluta1, Dagmara Malina1*, Bożena Tyliszczak2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.5, No.3-4, pp. 180-188, 2017, DOI:10.7569/JRM.2017.634106

    Abstract In recent years, the development of composite biomaterials has been the subject of very intensive research. The elaboration of technology for manufacturing new biomaterials will allow their practical implementation and adaptation to changing market needs. One of the key components in the developed composite materials will be natural origin hydroxyapatite (HAp) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) obtained from bone products. In this study, preparation and detailed characterization of bone-derived calcium phosphates as a component of biomaterial composites is proposed. This novel method of obtaining hydroxyapatite for biomedical applications allows the obtainment of a material with expected More >
