Application

Foliar applied potassium nanoparticles (K-NPs) and potassium sulfate on growth, physiological, and phytochemical parameters in Melissa officinalis L. under salt stress.: This investigation assesses the effectiveness of potassium sulfate in alleviating salt stress in plants, focusing on its role in enhancing growth and stress tolerance. The study provides valuable data for improving crop resilience to salinity, a growing issue in global agriculture (Nanehkaran FM et al., 2024).

Effects of Potassium-Containing Fertilizers on Sugar and Organic Acid Metabolism in Grape Fruits.: Examining the role of potassium sulfate in grapevine nutrition, this research elucidates its impact on the metabolic pathways involved in sugar and organic acid production. The outcomes are significant for viticulture, offering strategies to enhance fruit quality and vine health (Wang J et al., 2024).

The combination of chemical fertilizer affected the control efficacy against root-knot nematode and environmental behavior of abamectin in soil.: This study investigates how potassium sulfate, when used in conjunction with other fertilizers, influences the efficacy of pesticides and the soil′s environmental dynamics. The findings are crucial for developing integrated pest management strategies that are environmentally sustainable (Jiang J et al., 2024).

Division and Adaptation to Host Environment of Apicomplexan Parasites Depend on Apicoplast Lipid Metabolic Plasticity and Host Organelle Remodeling.

Souad Amiar et al.

Cell reports, 30(11), 3778-3792 (2020-03-19)

Apicomplexan parasites are unicellular eukaryotic pathogens that must obtain and combine lipids from both host cell scavenging and de novo synthesis to maintain parasite propagation and survival within their human host. Major questions on the role and regulation of each

Efficient photoelectrochemical hydrogen production from bismuth vanadate-decorated tungsten trioxide helix nanostructures.

Xinjian Shi et al.

Nature communications, 5, 4775-4775 (2014-09-03)

Tungsten trioxide/bismuth vanadate heterojunction is one of the best pairs for solar water splitting, but its photocurrent densities are insufficient. Here we investigate the advantages of using helical nanostructures in photoelectrochemical solar water splitting. A helical tungsten trioxide array is

High field (33)S solid state NMR and first-principles calculations in potassium sulfates.

Igor Moudrakovski et al.

The journal of physical chemistry. A, 114(1), 309-316 (2010-01-09)

A set of potassium sulfates presenting a variety of sulfur environments (K(2)SO(4), KHSO(4), K(2)S(2)O(7), and K(2)S(2)O(8)) has been studied by (33)S solid state NMR at 21 T. Low natural abundance (0.75%) and small gyromagnetic ratio of (33)S presented a serious

Transcriptome analysis of rice root responses to potassium deficiency.

Tian-Li Ma et al.

BMC plant biology, 12, 161-161 (2012-09-12)

Potassium (K+) is an important nutrient ion in plant cells and plays crucial roles in many plant physiological and developmental processes. In the natural environment, K+ deficiency is a common abiotic stress that inhibits plant growth and reduces crop productivity.

A randomized clinical study comparing reduced-volume oral sulfate solution with standard 4-liter sulfate-free electrolyte lavage solution as preparation for colonoscopy.

Douglas K Rex et al.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy, 72(2), 328-336 (2010-07-22)

Low-volume bowel preparations for colonoscopy improve tolerability. We compared the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of a new low-volume sulfate solution with a standard 4-L polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage solution as bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Multicenter, single-blind, randomized, noninferiority study. Five
