In the seasonally flooded forest of Mapire River, a tributary Orinoco, seedlings remain totally covered by flood water for over six months. order to characterize physiological response flooding and submergence, tree Pouteria orinocoensis, an important component vegetation, were subjected experimentally flooding. Flooding was imposed gradually, maximum level including submerged emerged leaves. After 45 d severe reduction net photosynthetic rate (P N) stomatal conductance (g s) observed in...
In order to determine whether stomatal closure alone regulates photosynthesis during drought under natural conditions, seasonal changes in leaf gas exchange were studied plants of five species differing life form and carbon fixation pathway growing a thorn scrub Venezuela. The were: Ipomoea carnea, Jatropha gossypifolia, (C3 deciduous shrubs), Alternanthera crucis (C4 herb), Prosopis juliflora Capparis odoratissima (evergreen phreatophytic trees). Xylem water potential (Ψ) all followed very...
We studied the flood tolerance of five tree species growing in flooded forest adjacent to Mapire river, SW Venezuela. Mean photosynthetic rate and leaf conductance were 11 μmol m−2 s−1 700 mmol s−1, respectively. Xylem water potential ranged from –0.08 –1.15 MPa. Based on gas exchange as a criterion flooding, two response patterns identified: (1) decreasing with increasing flooding (Psidium ovatifolium Berg. ex Desc., Campsiandra laurifolia Benth., Symmeria paniculata Benth. Acosmium nitens...
We evaluated the effects of an elevated [CO2] on photosynthesis and growth cassava plants grown in open-top chambers with adequate supply water N a sufficient rooting volume. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz. cv. Motilona) showed higher photosynthetic rates (Pn) when measured at (680 µmol mol-1) than ambient (480 mol-1). No downregulation due to was found, since carboxylation efficiency increased after 220 d spite decrease leaf soluble protein, Rubisco, content. Soluble sugar starch...
The effect of a very high CO 2 mole fraction (27000–35000 μmol mol −1 ) on photosynthesis and water relations was studied during the dry rainy season in plants Spatiphylum cannifolium (Dryand.) Schott Bauhinia multinervia (H.B.K.) DC. growing near natural cold springs. Xylem potential both species lowered by drought, growth‐concentration decreasing it further S. . In under concentration photosynthetic rates measured at 1000 were higher than ambient 350 response result direct machinery....
Liquid biopsy based on the analysis of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), as well detection point mutations by digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), has revolutionized research in oncology. In recent years, this technique been pioneering veterinary medicine since it is a minimally invasive approach with very promising results for characterization tumors.The aim study was, firstly, to analyze concentration and fragmentation pattern cfDNA dogs mammary tumors (n = 36) healthy 5) its correlation...
We studied the responses of leaf gas exchange and growth to an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration four tropical deciduous species differing carbon fixation metabolism: Alternanthera crucis, C3-C4; Ipomoea carnea, C3; Jatropha gossypifolia, Talinum triangulare, inducible-CAM. In first stage, plants were grown one open-top chamber at a 560±40 μmol mol-1 (EC), ambient (AC), unenclosed plot (U). second five EC chambers (CO2 = 680±30 mol-1), AC chambers, plots. During weeks under all had...
Aim: Food production demand has been promoting an increase in the generation of agro-industrial waste. industry waste can contain compounds with added value that, if properly extracted and used, be applied to development healthy foods (clean label), nutraceuticals, senior food, cosmetics, etc. The revaluation by-products from broccoli will make it possible reduce large volume waste, reducing cost management obtaining interest them. aim this work is extraction by means environmentally...
Introduction: The prosthesis used for aortic or mitral valve replacement can be too small in relation to body size, thus causing prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) and abnormally high transvalvular pressure gradients. aim of this study was evaluate the impact PPM on year mortality after replacement. Methods: Case-control nested a cohort 408 patients admitted ICU and/or from May 2009 April 2012. Patients were included database ARIAM cardiac surgery. studied control case 175, all who died first...
It has been reported that the susceptibility of cells to be infected by SARS-CoV-2 may facilitated various proteins behave as potential receptors for virus. To explore this, we have modeled viral dynamics simulating cellular systems (Vero E6, HeLa, HEK293 and CaLu3) in presence absence drugs (anthelmintic, ARBs, anticoagulant, serine protease inhibitor, antimalarials NSAID) proposed affect recognition spike protein from experimental data. Simulated cell exhibited similar infection. CaLu3 was...
