A main finding of our study was that Typha has a more plastic P uptake system than Cladium that allows uptake of P over a wide range of external P concentrations and promotes high growth rates with a relatively low investment in root mass at high P levels.
We hypothesized that Typha has a more plastic P uptake system than Cladium in relation to P availability, and this strategy will allow adequate uptake of P and better competitive ability over a wide range of external P concentrations.
Cells were grown on plastic plates, and uptake was measured in the presence and absence of Na+; in this case, Na+ was substituted equimolarly by choline.
The author has stained slides containing superglue, Liquid Bio-Plastic, and plant material; cells stained well with toluidine blue O (TBO) or safranin red, and the superglue and Liquid Bio-Plastic did not uptake the stain.
If structures are not naturally pigmented, stain could be applied at this step, but care should be taken that the mountant or embedding medium (e.g., Liquid Bio-Plastic) does not also uptake the stain.
The sparser woody vegetation is probably composed of species that only rely in superficial water uptake, or are plastic in relation to root characteristics.
By 2012, while developments in flexible lighting continued at a pace, the hopes of Plastic Logic were confronted with disappointing uptake of their e-reader.
In 2011, plastic mulch increased the total N uptake in the aboveground biomass of maize by 53%, whereas it decreased the in-season labeled-N uptake by 19%, compared to non-mulched treatment.
A major obstacle to the uptake of home-compostable plastics, however, is cost.
Methods: Monolayers of Caco-2 cells were cultured in plastic wells for 7 9 days and the uptake of Gly-[3H]l-Pro was used as an affinity probe.
