Oligogalacturonic acid (OGA) affects plant growth and development in an antagonistic manner to that of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the mechanism by which remains to be determined. This study ...

The formation of a pH gradient, which is characterized by intracellular alkalinization and extracellular acidification, plays a key role in the growth and metastasis of tumor cells. However, the ...

Exatecan (DX-8951f), a new topoisomerase I - inhibitor, is inactive in heavily pretreated patients (pts.) with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS): A phase II - study of the EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone ...

Syracuse University and Texas A&M researchers use computer modeling to find out the sources of salinization and alkalinization in U.S. watersheds. From protecting biodiversity to ensuring the safety ...

New research has shown that by injecting an alkalinizing agent into the ocean along the length of the Great Barrier Reef, it would be possible, at the present rate of anthropogenic carbon emissions, ...

A nationwide study of 226 river-monitoring sites shows how humans are increasing salt levels in rivers. But alkalinization of rivers—rivers becoming less acidic—is also increasing, and is considered ...

In today’s Academic Minute, Dr. Sujay Kaushal of the University of Maryland reveals how acid rain has made rivers and streams less acidic. Sujay Kaushal is an associate professor of geology at the ...
