Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh Level of Nicotianamine Synthase (NAS3) and Natural Resistance Associated Macrophage Protein (NRAMP4) Gene Transcription Induced by Potassium Nitrate in Trembling Aspen (Populus tremuloides)Karolina M. Czajka, Kabwe NkongoloChanges in gene transcription in response to excess metal concentrations have been reported in many organisms, including yeast, microorganisms and plants. Most investigations on the effects of nickel toxicity in plants use commercial salts whose effects have not been analyzed in detail. The main objective of the present study was to determine the effects of different doses of nickel nitrate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2018 · 10,884 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Resistance Evaluation of Dry Subtropics Brown Soils to Heavy Metal and Oil Contamination by Biological IndicatorsSergey Ilyich Kolesnikov, Natalya Aleksandrovna Petrova, Kamil Shagidullovich Kazeev et al.Contamination of brown calcareous soils with Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and oil leads to deterioration of their biological properties. There is a reduction in activity of catalase and dehydrogenase, an abundance of Azotobacter genus bacteria, cellulolytic activity and the length of radish roots. As a rule, there is a direct relationship between the content of contaminant in the soil and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2016 · 7,883 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Genotoxic Impurities Profiling During WFI Qualification to Control Carcinogenesis in Large Volume ParenteralsMohabbat UllahWater For Injections (WFI) which is the main vehicle of Large Volume Parenterals (LVPs) should be free from trace amount of genotoxic impurities. This review gives emphasis on quantification of genotoxic trace metals during qualification of WFI in LVPs manufacturing unit. According to ICH guidelines, impurities related to drug substances are classified into three main categories: Organic impurities, inorganic (elemental) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 27 May 2015 · 7,708 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEAVY METAL ANALYSIS IN RED OAK (QUERCUS RUBRA) POPULATIONS FROM A MINING REGION IN NORTHERN ONTARIO (CANADA): EFFECT OF SOIL LIMING AND ANALYSIS OF GENETIC VARIATIONAnh Tran, K. K. Nkongolo, M. Mehes-Smith et al.Understanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plants and population diversity in Northern Ontario is essential in determining progress toward ecosystem sustainability in reclaimed sites. The objectives of the present study were to assess the levels of metal content in soils and their accumulation in red oak plants from limed and unlimed sites. Genetic variation in red oak populations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,732 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeciation and Availability of Cr, Ni and Co IN Serpentine Soils of Ranau, SabahMahsa Tashakor, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Hamzah MohamadProblem statement: Serpentine soils are known as a geogenic source of heavy metal pollution because they are anomalously rich in chromium, nickel and cobalt. Approach: However, only that portion of these metals which is available in the ecosystem and incorporates in the bio-transformation processes, is dangerous for the environment. Availability of Cr, Ni and Co depends on their speciation into … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2013 · 13,551 accessesView PDF Cite
