Bemused and Befuddled: Adiponectin Gene, Diet and Everyday Cognitive Complaints
ABSTRACT: Vulnerability to everyday cognitive complaints constitutes a risk factor for physical and mental health, and depicts a complex interaction of environmental and biological factors.
Total amylase activity of in vitro germinated Cyperus esculentus (L.) tubers treated with salt and heavy metals
The growth of seeds and tubers is a major concern due to increased salt stress and widespread accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural land. Amylase is an important enzyme involved in germination processes and seedling development. This study was carried out to determine the effects of salt stress and heavy metals on the activity of amylase in in vitro germinated Cyperus esculentus. Sodium chloride (NaCl), at concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mM, were used to evaluate the effect of salt stress.
