Electrolytic leakage content

The photosynthetic efficiency mainly depends on the openness of stomata, particularly in C3 crops, while their closure tends to avoid excessive water loss. Abscisic acid (ABA) mediates water loss from the guardian cells of the stomata, which is triggered by a decrease in the water content of the leaf and inhibits leaf expansion. In muskmelon seedlings, ABA could improve the maintenance of the leaf water potential and relative water content, and reduce electrolyte leakage [55]. 

To evaluate the feasibility of the use of lichens as in situ biomonitors of atmospheric pollution in a semiarid climate, Rope and Pearson (1990) applied two techniques of evaluation in their study area in Idaho trace element analysis and electrolyte leakage from cells. The lichen Lecanora melanophthalma accumulated for the most part higher levels of elemental content than vascular plants such as Artemisia tridentata and either comparable or lower levels than soil. The above-mentioned lichen was the only species to show a significant difference in electrolyte leakage which could be associated with the distance from a chemical processing plant. 

When EC is added to the gel polymer electrolyte of LiQ04 and PC, electrolyte leakage can be alleviated. In addition, when the content of EC is 4.5 wt%, its ionic conductivity reaches a maximum of 6.47 x 10 S/cm with a viscosity of 141 mPa s. However, this amount of plasticizer is too high, its mechanical stability is poor, and therefore, its industrial application is limited. 

Fig. 4. Effects of drought and NaCl pretreatment on the leakage of electrolytes from leaves of chilled rice seedlings. Drought pretreatment seedlings were air-dried, maintained in light for 8 h until leaves were rather wilted and the water content of leaves had decreased from 82% to 75%. Plants were then rewatered for 1 h to recovery. NaCl pretreatment seedlings were removed to 0.1 mol/1 NaCl solution for 24 h, then changed to distilled water. Plants from both treatments were then exposed to 8-10 C. /, 2 Dansheng No. 3,4 Guichao No. 2 7, 3 control 2, 4 treatment [see 12]...
