Because tuberization in potatoes (Solarium tuberosum L.) reportedly is inhibited when stolons are immersed in liquid, this study was conducted to determine the effect of intermittent pH reductions of the nutrient solution on tuber induction of potatoes in solution culture. Tissue-culture potato plantlets were transplanted into solutions maintained at pH 5.5. The pH of the nutrient solution was changed to 3.5 and 4.0 for 10 hours on each of three dates (30, 35, and 40 days after transplanting). For the pH 3.5 treatment, tubers were observed first on day 42 and averaged 140 tubers per plant at harvest on day 54. For the pH 4.0 treatment, tubers were observed first on day 48 and averaged 40 tubers per plant at harvest. At a constant pH 5.5, tubers were observed on day 52 and averaged two tubers per plant at harvest. Plants with the intermittent pH 3.5 had smaller shoots and roots with shorter and thicker stolons compared to constant pH 5.5. With the intermittent pH 4.0, plants were of similar size, but stolons were shorter and slightly thickener compared to those from pH 5.5. Mineral composition of leaf tissues at harvest was similar for the three pH treatments. These results indicate that regulation of solution pH can be a useful technique for inducing tuberization in potatoes.

SUMMARY A hydroponic study was conducted to investigate the influence of Ca supply on K+/Na+ selectivity of sunflower at 0, 75 and 150 mM NaCl in root medium. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Hysun-33) seeds were germinated in moist quartz sand and twelve-day old seedlings were foam-plugged in lids of plastic pots each containing 2.5 l of continuously aerated half strength Hoagland's nutrient solution without calcium salts. The solution pH was adjusted to 5.9 by adding HCl and NaOH. There were three salinity levels (0, 75 and 150 mM NaCl) and two calcium levels (5 and 10 mM CaCl2). The experiment was organized in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in three replicates. At low concentration of calcium (5 mM), sunflower growth decreased drastically with increasing concentration of NaCl in nutrient solution. On the other hand, plants grown in high concentration of NaCl experienced less damage with relatively higher concentration of calcium. At relatively higher concentration of calcium (10 mM Ca), sunflower plants absorbed and translocated relatively more potassium and less sodium, than at low concentration of calcium (5 mM Ca), demonstrating the positive role of calcium in alleviating the hazardous effects of salinity on sunflower growth.

Abstract In this work, a liquid chromatography stability-indicating method was developed and applied to study the hydrolytic behavior of simvastatin in different pH values and temperatures. The selected chromatographic conditions were a C18 column; acetonitrile–28 mM phosphate buffer solution, pH 4 (65 + 35) as the mobile phase; 251°C column temperature; and flow rate 1 mL/min. The developed method exhibited an adequate repeatability and reproducibility (coefficient of variation 0.54 and 0.74%, respectively) and a recovery higher than 98%. Furthermore, the detection and quantification limits were 9.1 × 10−7 and 2.8 × 10−6 M, respectively. The degradation of simvastatin fitted to pseudo-first order kinetics. The degradation was pH dependent, being much higher at alkaline pH than at acid pH. Activation energy, kinetic rate constants (k) at different temperatures, the half life (t1/2) and the time for 10% degradation to occur (t90) values are also reported.

Spherical calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a potential component in many industrial fields such as high-grade papermaking, high-grade painting, environment, and pesticide. This paper describes a novel approach to synthesize spherical calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles via passing CO2 bubbles into phosphogypsum salt leaching solution (CaSO4) in the presence of ammonia (NH3) at different temperatures. The influence of the initial solution pH and concentration of calcium ions on the polymorph and morphology of CaCO3 was studied. The physical characteristics of the precipitate were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that compared with different calcium sources the phase and morphology of CaCO3 synthesized by phosphogysum leaching solution had some regularity. The grain size of spherical CaCO3 became bigger, surface became smoother, and particle dispersion became better with the increase of calcium ion concentration. The content of vaterite increased and particle grain size changed a little with the increase of pH. The research results had important environmental significance for phosphogysum resource utilization and CO2 fixation.
