Therefore, silver-zeolite doped hydroxyapatite（Ag-Zeo-HAp） coating was synthesized on Ti O2-coated Mg alloy by physical vapour deposition（PVD） assisted electrodeposition technique to decrease the degradation rate of Mg alloy. X-ray diffraction（XRD） analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy（FE-SEM） images showed the formation of a uniform and compact layer of Ag-Zeo-HAp with a thickness of 15 μm on the Ti O2 film with a thickness of 1 μm. The potentiodynamic polarization（PDP） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS） tests indicated that corrosion resistance of Mg-Ca alloy was considerably increased by the Ag-Zeo-HAp coating. The bioactivity test in the simulated body fluid（SBF） solution showed that a dense and homogeneous bonelike apatite layer was formed on the Ag-Zeo-HAp surface after 14 d. Investigation of antibacterial activity via disk diffusion and spread plate methods showed that the Ag-Zeo-HAp coating had a significantly larger inhibition zone（3.86 mm） towards Escherichia coli（E. coli） compared with the Ti O2-coated Mg alloy（2.61 mm）. The Ag-Zeo-HAp coating showed high antibacterial performance, good bioactivity, and high corrosion resistance which make it a perfect coating material for biomedical applications.展开更多
Four wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） cultivars 711, PBW343, 3765 and WH542 were screened for studying variations in glycinebetaine （GB） content and plant dry mass under 100 mmol L-1 NaCl stress.

A tolerance index was calculated using plant dry mass data to select salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive types and find association between tolerance index and GB content. Tolerance index has been used as a good criterion to select the tolerant types under high salinity stress. Further, physiological differences in salt-tolerant cultivar 711 and salt-sensitive cultivar WH542 were examined. The salt-tolerant cultivar exhibited greater CB content, which was found correlative with ethylene. The cultivar also showed higher nitrogen （N） content and nitrate reductase activity, reduced glutathione and higher redox state resulting in maximal protection of plant dry mass than the salt-sensitive type. Thus, the content of CB may be considered as important physiological criteria for selecting salt-tolerant wheat types.展开更多
