Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are required for pollen tube germination and elongation, an essential process in plant fertilization. But their role in monocot plants remains unexplored.

"The acid rain problem is decreasing. But meanwhile, there are these lagging effects of river alkalinization showing up across a major region of the U.S.," said lead author Sujay Kaushal, an associate ...

The research, by CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, Hobart, used a high-resolution model developed for the Great Barrier Reef region to study the impact of artificial ocean alkalinization on the acidity ...

Background: Renal failure is a severe acute toxicity of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX), observed in near 2% of patients (pts). To prevent this risk, HDMTX is routinely given as single agent and ...

Some questions relating to the mechanism of alkalinization still remain. The gp91phox91−/− dendritic cells acidify their phagosomes to pH 6.0, whereas the Rab27a-deficient dendritic-cell ...

We studied the renal prevention offered by hyper-alkalinization without hyper-hydration. Methods: The dose of HDMTX was 8 (3pts) or 12g/m 2 (16pts), administered as a 4-hour infusion. Hypertonic 8.4% ...

In fact, river alkalinization has increased the fastest in areas underlain by carbonate rocks, at high elevations, and where acid rain or acid mine drainage is greatest.
