Biologists have discovered a phosphorus-based bacterial metabolism that is both new and ancient. In a special role: a calculation from the 1980s, a sewage plant, a new bacterial organism, and a ...

Phosphate (Pi) and its analog phosphite (Phi) are acquired by plants via Pi transporters. Although the uptake and mobility of Phi and Pi are similar, there is no evidence suggesting that plants can ...

Potassium phosphite represents a promising inorganic salt in the realm of plant disease management, utilising a dual mode of action that combines direct antimicrobial effects with the induction of ...

A study finds that transgenic cotton plants expressing the bacterial gene ptxD can convert phosphite, a nonmetabolizable form of phosphorus, into phosphate, the nutrient form of phosphorus; when ...

And when the USF team cracked this one open, they discovered a strange new form of calcium phosphite. “We have never seen this material occur naturally on Earth – minerals similar to it can be found ...

Doverphos S9228 is a solid phosphite anti-oxidant that has high molecular weight of 852, low volatility, and a high phosphorous content. It provides good thermal stability and low volatility at ...

Monopotassium phosphite is a chemical compound with the molecular formula KH 2 PO 3. It is a salt of phosphorous acid and is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture. Monopotassium phosphite ...

SCHENECTADY, N.Y.—SI Group Inc.'s Weston 705 and 705T liquid phosphite antioxidants have been granted an extension of existing approvals by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. The approvals cover use ...

Omex has launched its new phosphite formulation Trigger, which claims to give an establishment and rooting boost to cereals and oilseed rape crops. Applied from growth stage 14 in cereals and two to ...

Ten years ago. lightning struck a tree in New Port Richey, sending electricity into the soil around it. This event led to the never-before-seen creation of a mineral in the surrounding rocks. Mathew ...

Our story begins at the end of the 1980s, with a sheet of paper. On this sheet, a scientist calculated that the conversion of the chemical compound phosphite to phosphate would release enough energy ...
