Abstract:
High salinity, one of the most severe abiotic stresses encountered by land plants, often results from water deficit and also induces whole-plant senescence. Thus, salt treatment provides a useful technique for stress-mediated induction of senescence in plants. In this chapter, we describe the procedures to induce senescence in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa), using NaCl or KCl. Furthermore, we present experimental approaches to measure salt stress-induced leaf senescence.

Self-Inductance
Consider a circuit connected to an AC source. As the current varies with time, the magnetic flux through the circuit correspondingly changes. Faraday's law tells us that an emf would...
Mutual Inductance
When two circuits carrying time-varying currents are close to one another, the magnetic flux through each circuit varies because of the changing current in the other circuit. Consequently, an emf is induced in each circuit by the changing current in the other. Therefore, this type of emf is called...
