Solanum ehrenbergii ("papa de monte" or "papa güera") is a species with edible tubers, valuable for the people from central Mexico. The farmers seek the tubers in "nopaleras" and "mezquitales'', but more commonly, they can be found in corn and bean cultivated fields, thus the plants are tolerated and encouraged. The environment in which S. ehrenbergii grows is variable, from harsh, in natural conditions , to bening, in the cultivated fields. The hypothesis is that it must exist a pattern of morphological variation in response to the origin of the populations. The objectives of the study were: a] to analyze the pattern of morphological variation between wild and weed populations of Solanum ehrenbergii and b] to document possible taxonomic differences and evolutive trends under management conditions. The methods included the morphological characterization of botanic material and the numerical analyses of data by cluster and principal components. The results indicated, that populations are grouped according to its origin wild or weed. Probably, the morphological variation of S. ehrenbergii is influenced for an incipient process of domestication in response to practices of tolerance, protection and encouragement carried out by the farmers.

Karwinskia humboldtiana is a poisonous plant that grows in semi desertic areas in north and central México. It produces several substances with different toxic effects. One of them designated T-514 damages severely the lung, kidney and liver, producing in the hepatoeyte large intracellular fat deposits and necrosis. Preliminary observations demonstrated that three is a decrease in the amount of peroxisomes in the hepatocytes of experimentally intoxicated rats and monkeys. To study the effect exerted by the T-514 on peroxisomes, a yeast model was selected, thus, three species: Saccha romices cerevisiae, Ilansenula polymorpha and Candida boidinii were used, because there is information concerning their peroxisome's morphology, enzyme content, biological behaviour under different culture conditions and biogenesis.

In terms of geology, most areas in south of the Gunungkidul District in Central Java consist of the Wonosari formation limestone. The land is generally very dry and source of raw water is also difficult to reach. Findings on the existence of underground river in caves, however, indicate the potential amount of water within the area, especially in the eastern part of the Gunungkidul District. Although limited information available, some fishermen have discovered that Seropan cave contains fresh water source. This cave is situated at 65 m below the cliff. Initial exploration, which done using a multichannel resistivity method, confirmed the availability of freshwater in the cave and underground river. The isopach of cave depth is found in ranges of 80 200 m below the ground surface. The water of Seropan cave can be utilized by implementing pipeline or by drilling at the suggested point based on the interpretation results, i.e. 110o2223.6388 EL 8o42.874 SL.

Ponds are an important fresh water critical ecosystem for plants and animals providing goods and services including food, fodder, fish, irrigation, hydrological cycle, shelter, medicine, culture, aesthetic and recreation. Ponds cover less than 2 percent of worlds land surface. Ponds are important source of fresh water for human use. These are threatened by urbanization, industrialization, over exploitation, fragmentation, habitat destruction, pollution, illegal capturing of land and climate changes. These above factors have been destroying ponds very rapidly putting them in danger of extinction of a great number of local biodiversity. It is necessary to formulate a correct conservation strategy for pond restoration in order to meet the growing needs of fresh water by increasing the human population. Some measures have been compiled and proposed in the present review.
