Abstract In the arid conditions of the Astrakhan region agricultural plants heat resistance is one of the important criteria of quality production getting. In this regard, and also taking into consideration the fact that the soils of our region are characterized by a very low content of trace elements in the form accessible to plants, researches were carried out to study the effect of trace elements of copper, manganese and zinc for tomato plants heat resistance. To exclude the trace elements rapid absorption by the soil, plants foliar treatments were used during the growing season with 0.05% solutions of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), manganese sulfate (MnSO4) and copper sulfate (CuSO4). In the control variant, the plants were sprayed with water. The results showed that tomato plants foliar feeding during the III-V organogenesis stages with 0.05% solutions of zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate and copper sulfate have not got a significant effect on tomatoes growth and productivity. However, the zinc and copper trace elements positively influenced such physiological parameters of plants as the leaf cells hydration, the bound water content in them, the protoplasm viscosity, thereby contributing to the increase in tomato resistance to the adverse effects of high temperatures in the arid climate.

The results of studies of scientifically grounded use of microelements in sweet pepper crops, as an important factor in increasing the yield of vegetable crops and improving the quality of products, are presented. The purpose of our research was to substantiate the influence of the use of trace elements in the technology of sweet pepper cultivation on the growth and development of plants, the productivity and quality of the products of this culture. The experimental part of the work was carried out in 2014-2019 in the subzone of light chestnut soils of the Volgograd region. Experiments on the study of trace elements were carried out by pre-sowing seed treatment and foliar feeding of plants. Chemically pure compounds of manganese sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, ammonium molybdate, boric acid were used as microelements. The use of trace elements in the dry-steppe zone of the Lower Volga region is an important agricultural technique that helps to accelerate growth, development, increase productivity and improve the quality of pepper fruits. It is recommended to carry out pre-sowing treatment of seeds with solutions of boric acid (0.29 g / 1 l of water), copper sulfate (0.20 g / 1 l of water) and manganese sulfate (0.16 g / 1 l of water) (the ratio of the weight of seeds to the solution 1: 2) as a way to increase seed vitality, speed up yield and improve seedling quality. In order to increase the yield and improve the quality during the budding period of peppers, it is necessary to carry out foliar dressing, first of all, with solutions of boric acid (0.29 g / 1 l of water), ammonium molybdenum (0.10 g / 1 l of water), water consumption 1 l / 10 m2. Due to its high efficiency, simplicity and availability, pre-sowing seed treatment and foliar feeding of plants with microelements will find wide application in vegetable growing.

The aim of the research was to determine the effect of soil contamination with diesel oil (0; 5; 10 and 15 cm3 kg−1 of soil) on the content of trace elements in the aboveground parts of oat (Avena sativa L.). Stabilised sewage sludge was used to mitigate the likely negative impact of diesel oil on the plant. Growing soil contamination with diesel oil had a significant impact on the content of trace elements in the aboveground biomass of oat. In the series without sewage sludge, the contents of the analysed elements, except for chromium, zinc, copper and cobalt, were positively correlated with the increasing doses of diesel oil. The largest increase in the content was recorded in the case of manganese. The sewage sludge used to reduce the influence of diesel oil on the chemical composition of oat had a positive effect on the content of the analysed trace elements. Compared to the series without the addition of a stabilised sewage sludge, it contributed to a reduction in the average content of chromium, nickel, copper, manganese and cobalt in the aboveground parts of oat plants. No significant effect of the applied remediation treatment was noted for cadmium, and the results were equivocal for iron.

На опытных участках с использованием органо-минеральных смесей (КП 2,5 т/га + Ц 3 т/га, КП 5 т/га + Ц 3 т/га , КП 10 т/га + Ц 3 т/га) выявлена активная адсорбция цеолитсодержащей породы Тербунского месторождения по отношению к Zn, которая способствовала снижению элемента в вегетативной массе рапса в вариантах опыта на протяжении всего периода вегетации растений. Заключение. Следовательно, проведённые исследования позволяют рекомендовать возделывание ярового рапса с использованием в качестве удобрений органических отходов совместно с природным цеолитом в условиях лесостепи ЦЧР. Problem and purpose. The purpose of the study was to study the efect of diferent doses of chicken manure (CM), zeolite (Z), their mixtures and mineral fertilizers on the accumulation of trace elements in the vegetative organs of spring rapeseed plants at diferent stages of development. Methodology. The experiment was based on the following scheme: 1) control; 2) N60P60K60; 3) Z 3 t/ha; 4) CM 2.5 t/ha; 5) CM 5 t/ha; 6) CM 10 t/ha; 7) N60P60K60 + Z 3 t/ha; 8) CM 2.5 t/ha + Z 3 t/ha; 9) CM 5 t/ha + Z 3 t/ha; 10) CM 10 t/ha + Z 3 t/ha. The content of trace elements of copper, manganese and zinc in plants was determined after dry salting at a temperature of 525 ± 25° C by atomic absorption. Results. The results of the experiment showed that the introduction of zeolite-containing rocks ofTerbunsky Deposit contributed to the reduction of such microelements as Cu, Zn and Mn in the vegetative mass of rapeseed throughout the entire period of plant development. Active adsorption of the zeolite-containing rock of Terbunsky Deposit in relation to Zn was revealed in the experimental plots using organo-mineral mixtures (CM 2.5 t/ha + Z 3 t/ha, CM 5 t/ha + Z 3 t/ha, CM 10 t/ha + Z 3 t/ha), which contributed to a decrease in the element in the vegetative mass of rapeseed in the experimental variants throughout the entire vegetation period of plants. Conclusion. Therefore, the conducted research allows to recommend the cultivation of spring rapeseed with the use of organic waste as fertilizers together with natural zeolite in the conditions of the forest-steppe of the Central Black Soil Region

Backgrounds: Variations of trace element contents may be associated with several diseases including metabolic disorders, cellular growth disturbance, mutation and tumorigenesis. Prostate cancer is the second most common male cancer worldwide and stand fifth most common male cancer in Saudi Arabia. Objective: In the present study, Serum levels of selenium, zinc, copper, manganese, and iron were measured in patients with BPH and prostate cancer aiming to explore the association between these elements and prostate cancer. Patients and Methods: The study included 40 newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients, 22 patients with BPH and 30 healthy male subjects. All participant groups had similar socio-economic levels. Fasting blood samples were collected from all subjects and before any intervention for the patients. Serum PSA concentrations were analyzed by ELIZA and trace elements Se, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe were measured by ICP-MS. Results: Serum Se, Zn, and Mn levels of prostate cancer patients were significantly decreased compared to control groups. The levels of serum Cu and Fe were significantly higher in prostate cancer patients than in control groups. Conclusion: In the present study, an association was noticed between serum trace elements disturbance and prostate cancer. The decreased levels of Se, Zn, and Mn, and increased Cu and Fe levels may play significant roles in the initiation of prostate cancer. However, future prospective studies on the causes of trace elements alteration in prostate cancer patients are needed as well as to illustrate the relation between different prostate cancer stages and trace elements concentrations.

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by their long incubation periods, progressive neurological changes, and spongiform appearance in the brain. There is much evidence to show that TSEs are caused by an isoform of the normal cellular surface prion protein PrPC. The normal function of PrPC is still unknown, but it exhibits properties of a cupro-protein, capable of binding up to six copper ions. There are two differing views on copper's role in prion diseases. While one view looks at the PrPC copper-binding as the trigger for conversion to PrPSc, the opposing viewpoint sees a lack of PrPC copper-binding resulting in the conformational change into the disease causing isoform. Manganese and zinc have been shown to interact with PrPC as well and have been found in abnormal levels in prion diseases. This review addresses the interaction between select trace elements and the PrPC.

This article presents the results of research on the influence of citrates of zinc, manganese and copper, obtained by the method of aquanotechnology, on a number of physiological indicators of a valuable medicinal mushroom Trametes versicolor 353. Previously we detected that these metal citrates stimulated the growth of mycelium more intensively than sulfates of the above-mentioned metals in equal concentrations. In the present research we investigated the influence of these metal citrates on the parameters of assimilation of carbon and nitrogen sources, metal ion accumulation and synthesis of exopolysaccharides. The degree of metals ions accumulation in the mycelium was studied by the  method of optical emission spectroscopy with an inductively coupled plasma. The economic coefficient of biomass synthesis and impact of nitrogen assimilation were higher on media with the metals citrate than on the medium with the sulfates of the studied metals. Thus, the highest economic coefficient of biomass synthesis (36%) was observed on the medium with copper citrate. Also, copper citrate (amongst the studied metals) increased the level of assimilation of the nitrogen source by up to 35%, versus 18% on the control medium. Quantitative analysis of trace elements in biomass showed that the mycelium accumulated an equal amount of zinc or manganese ions on both types of media (with citrate or sulfate of these metals). However, on the medium with copper citrate, mycelium of T. versicolor 353 accumulated copper ions better then on a medium with copper sulfate: 82.9 μg/g of biomass on the medium with copper sulfate versus 162.0 μg/g of biomass on the medium with copper citrate. Also the results show that a significant increase of biomass (by 79% relative to the control) on the copper citrate medium is due to a threefold reduction of the exopolysaccharides amount. This data indicates a greater biological activity of copper citrate,  relative to copper sulfate. Only zinc citrate raised both the synthesis of biomass and the synthesis of exopolysaccharides by 37% and 29% respectively ( relative to the control trial).
