The microelectrode ion flux estimation (MIFE) is a powerful, non-invasive electrophysiological method for cellular membrane transport studies. Usually, the MIFE measurements are performed in a tissue culture dish or directly with tissues (roots, part...
Near-fault pulse-like ground motions produce coupled intensity, duration, and period-matching effects, making nonlinear seismic assessment of multi-ribbed composite slab structures (MCSS) computationally expensive and difficult to generalize. To addr...
Na+ toxicity is one of the major physiological constraints imposed by salinity on plant performance. At the same time, Na+ uptake may be beneficial under some circumstances as an easily accessible inorganic ion that can be used for increasing solute...
Oxidative stress signaling is essential for plant adaptation to hostile environments. Previous studies revealed the essentiality of hydroxyl radicals (HO•)-induced activation of massive K+ efflux and a smaller Ca2+ influx as an important component of...
NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) may contribute to the growth and propagation of breast cancer (BC). The effect of estrogen receptor-α (ER-α), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on NLRP3 act...
Salinity poses a major threat to sustainable agriculture and coastal ecosystems, resulting in a substantial loss of plant productivity and biodiversity. Although some coastal grass species exhibit natural adaptation to saline conditions, the physiolo...
Soil salinity is a major constraint that affects plant growth and development. Rice is a staple food for more than half of the human population but is extremely sensitive to salinity. Among the several known mechanisms, the ability of the plant to ex...
