Root navigation by self inhibition

“…We tested the tendency of roots to develop toward patches in which root exudates had been inactivated. We observed lateral root development in Pisum sativum plants whose lateral roots were confronted by physical obstacles with and without the presence of potassium permanganate, which is a strong oxidizer of organic compounds (Gates‐Anderson, Siegrist & Cline 2001; Shaabani, Teimouri & Lee 2003). Plants with 50 mm long roots were planted in the middle of transparent growth chambers as described above, but equidistantly away from two vertical nylon strings that were stretched along the flat transparent wall of the growth chamber 100 mm apart (see Fig.…”

Design of Virtual Reality System for Organic Chemistry

“…In particular, we study the oxidation reaction to synthesize benzoic acid from toluene, which has important applications. The chemical reaction equations are as follows [23]. Eq.…”

Microwave- and Ultrasound- Accelerated Green Permanganate Oxidation of Thioethersc

“…The permanganate oxidation of thioethers has been investigated under the homogeneous or heterogeneous conditions by using phase-transfer catalysts supported aqueous permanganate solution, [7][8][9] permanganate complex, [10,11] ground permanganate, [12][13][14] or inorganic salts/solid supports assisted permanganate ion. [15][16][17][18][19] Furthermore, the efficiency of potassium permanganate on the solvent-free oxidation of thioethers has been shown clearly when it was absorbed on montmorillonite K-10, [20] manganese dioxide, [21,22] Rexyn 101 H, [23] alumina, [24] or inorganic salts [25,26].…”
