  2. Hydrazines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazines

    Hydrazines (R 2 N−NR 2) are a class of chemical compounds with two nitrogen atoms linked via a covalent bond and which carry from one up to four alkyl or aryl substituents. . Hydrazines can be considered as derivatives of the inorganic hydrazine (H 2 N−NH 2), in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by hydrocarbon grou

  3. Hydrazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine

    Hydrazine is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula N 2 H 4.It is a simple pnictogen hydride, and is a colourless flammable liquid with an ammonia-like odour.Hydrazine is highly hazardous unless handled in solution as, for example, hydrazine hydrate (N 2 H 4 ·xH 2 O).

  4. Azine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azine

    The generic formula of an azine. For an aldazine, R 2 = H.. Azines are a functional class of organic compounds with the connectivity RR'C=N-N=CRR'. These compounds are the product of the condensation of hydrazine with ketones and aldehydes, although in practice they are often made by alternative routes.

  5. Plant root exudates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_root_exudates

    The rhizosphere is the thin area of soil immediately surrounding the root system. It is a densely populated area in which the roots compete with invading root systems of neighboring plant species for space, water, and mineral nutrients as well as form positive and negative relationships with soil-borne microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and insects.

  6. Absorption of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_of_water

    The continuity of the water column remains intact due to the cohesion between the molecules and it acts as a rope. Roots simply act as a passive organ of absorption. As transpiration proceeds, water absorption occurs simultaneously to compensate the water loss from the leaf end. Most volume of water entering plants is by means of passive ...

  8. Brace roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brace_roots

    There were also more emerged roots in water-stressed plants than in well-watered plants, suggesting withholding water may induce early stages of nodal root development. The mechanism of crown and brace root response to water stress is likely similar but there are currently no studies that report the effect of water stress on brace roots.

  9. Organic matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_matter

    The same capability of natural organic matter that helps with water retention in the soil creates problems for current water purification methods. In water, organic matter can still bind to metal ions and minerals. The purification process does not necessarily stop these bound molecules but does not cause harm to any humans, animals, or plants.
