Abstract

This data article presents effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) on phytoremediation of antimony contaminated soil using S. Bicolor in detail. Seedlings of S. bicolor were exposed to different doses of TiO2 NPs (0,50,100,250,500 and 1000 mg/kg) in plastic pots containing Sb-contaminated soil and cultivated over a 80-day period in a greenhouse. Harvested plants were dried in an oven at 70 °C for 48 h to obtain dry weight of the biomass. The concentrations of metal(loid)s in soil as well as in plant organs were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Chlorophyll contents of fresh leaves materials were measured by UV spectrophotometry at 645 nm and 663 nm. Data on distribution of Sb and Ti in roots and shoots of S. bicolor contaminated soil treated with different levels of TiO2 NPs are indicated in tables. Figures presented the data on plant growth behavior, Sb and Ti accumulation capacities, and physiological response of S. Bicolor in various treatments. The presented data are beneficial to gain insight into phytoremediation potential of S. bicolor in Sb-contaminated soil as well as plant behavior under the stress of both Sb and TiO2 NPs in soil. These data are useful for e...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
