The adaptation of plants is manifested in the preservation of their physiological functions when exposed to various extreme environmental factors. In model experiments, we examined the influence of the combined action of such factors as alcohol solutions of benzotriazole in low concentrations (0,00001; 0,0001; 0,001 mg/ml) and contrasting positive temperatures (+12C and +22C) on germinating ability and growth processes of three species of onions ( Allium sulphur , Allium fistulosum and Allium schoenoprasum ) differing in various adaptive capabilities. It was found that, regardless of the germination temperature, with an increase in the concentration of benzotriazole solutions in a selected concentration range, stimulation of seed germination is observed for all studied species compared to the control. Benzotriazole had the maximum stimulating effect at a concentration of 0,001 mg/ml when germinating seeds at a temperature of +12C. The effect on growth processes was determined by the average length of the roots of onions on the fifth day of growth. It was found that the length of the roots of onions of all studied species when germinating in benzotriazole solutions at a temperature of +12C does not significantly differ from that in the control. When germinating seeds at +22C, the root length of only two species ( Allium cepa , Allium fistulosum ) was higher than in the control. Possible mechanisms of the observed phenomenon are discussed.

The increase in anthropogenic pressure has led to the need for model experiments to assess the ability of organisms to adapt to xenobiotics. The study of negative effects is usually carried out in laboratories using animals as test objects, while it is more interesting to study tolerance and adaptive capabilities in plant organisms, because, unlike animals, they are not able to leave an area uncomfortable for existence. In order to obtain an objective response in experiments, it is necessary to choose test objects related to species that are ubiquitous in ecosystems, and xenobiotics that are widely used and able to enter the environment. Allium fistulosum L. was used in model experiments and was affected by benzotriazole to study the possibility of developing an adaptive response in plants to anthropogenic pollutants. Plants were preadapted to a toxic dose of benzotriazole at a concentration of 0,1 mg/ml, by exposure to alcohol solutions of benzotriazole at a concentration of 0,0001 mg/ml or 0,001 mg/ml, and the time of preliminary exposure varied from 1 day to 4 days, then test objects germinated in a solution of high concentration. There were three controls, where the seeds were germinated for five days in all three used concentrations of benzotriazole, as well as in a solvent, which was 0,5% isopropyl alcohol. The possibility of adaptive response was assessed using two morphophysiological indicators, these were the germination of seeds and the average root length on the fifth day of the experiment. Experiments have shown that a solution of benzotriazole at a concentration of 0,1 mg/ml inhibits seeds germination and roots growth compared with the control (germination in 0,5% isopropyl alcohol), while at a concentration of 0,0001 mg/ml it stimulates. Exposure to low concentrations reliably creates a preadaptation to the toxic dose, but the responses significantly differ in effectiveness depending on the duration of preadaptation and the concentration of the substance. The greatest effect on the toxic effect of benzotriazole is created by preadaptation in low concentrations over 3 days. Possible preadaptation mechanisms are discussed.

Immunological Identification

A new method is described for identifying low concentrations of circulating derivatives of fibrinogen and fibrin, even when present in heterogeneous mixtures. This technique is applicable to plasma and serum and uses electrophoresis in 2% agarose in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) followed by immunological identification of separated derivatives, using radiolabeled antifibrinogen antiserum and autoradiography. Unique electrophoretic patterns distinguish plasmic derivatives of crosslinked fibrin from those of fibrinogen and also identify crosslinked fibrin polymers produced by the combined action of thrombin and factor XIII on fibrinogen. The assay is sensitive to a concentration of 0.1 micrograms/mL of fibrinogen in serum or plasma. Fibrin polymers, plasmic degradation products of fibrinogen, and plasmic degradation products of crosslinked fibrin were detected in the plasma or serum of a patient with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Plasmic derivatives of both fibrinogen and crosslinked fibrin appeared in serum in the course of fibrinolytic therapy for pulmonary embolism, whereas during acute myocardial infarction a marked increase in the proportion of fibrin polymers in plasma was found in comparison with normal controls. Thus, the procedure can distinguish between the simultaneous processes of fibrin polymer formation, fibrinogenolysis, and fibrinolysis, and is sufficiently sensitive to detect relevant quantities of derivatives in pathologic conditions.

The study aims to reveal the morphology of the male sex accessory glands of the pangolin at macroscopic and microscopic levels. Macroscopic observation included measurement of length and thickness of each accessory gland while microscopic observation, sample of each accessory gland was processed by histology technique with paraffin method and sliced with 3-5 ?m thickness and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining for general structural observation, coloration of alcian blue (AB) pH 2.5 and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) to observe the distribution of acid and neutral mucopolysaccharides in each glands. The results showed that the male sex accessory glands of the pangolin consist of vesicular gland and prostate, and bulbourethral gland which were not observed macroscopically. The average length and thickness of vesicular gland were 1.07 cm and 0.41 cm, while the prostate was 1.17 cm and 0.54 cm respectively. All accessory glands were lobulated and separated with a thick connective tissue into lobes and lobules. Acinar cells in the vesicular glands were a serous type, whereas acinar cells in the prostate and bulbourethral gland were the mucous types.

Relevance. One of the problematic issues in crop production remains the quality of sown seeds. Vegetable plants during the period of generative development are demanding to the conditions of light and heat supply, but the conditions of most regions of our country cannot meet these requirements. Post-harvest refinement and pre-treatment of seeds is also not carried out at the proper level. There are no reliable informative tools for analyzing seed quality. Employees of the FSBSI FSVC, Agrophysical Research Institute and Argus-Bio LLC are developing a method of digital morphometry of vegetable seeds.Methods. The material for the studies was the seeds of various samples of varieties of the genus Allium: Allium cristophii Trautv., Allium schoenoprasum L., Allium fistulosum L. Digital images of seeds were obtained using the HP Scanjet 200 tablet scanner, BMP, TIFF, JPG save file format, 600 DPI resolution. Morphometric analysis of digital scanned images of seeds was carried out on the basis of the Agrophysical Research Institute using the serial software Argus-BIO, manufactured by Argus Soft LLC, St. Petersburg.Results. Analysis of the color characteristics of seeds (values of color components according to the RGB model) Allium cristophii Trautv. revealed a statistically significant decrease in all color channels in the row from the lower tier – the upper, which is an indicator of different levels of maturity. Seeds of various samples of Allium schoenoprasum L. in size (projection area) varied significantly within the species from 2.39 to 3.06 mm2 , in shape they also turned out to be unaligned: elliptical with an elongation factor of 1.99 to 2.21 relative units. Analysis of morphometric parameters of seeds of varieties Allium fistulosum L. made it possible to distinguish the influence of natural and genetic factors on these parameters: the factor of the year had a significant effect (from 43.5% to 45.4%), the factor of the variety – from 39.5% to 43.2%, on the main morphometric parameters of seeds. So, a new approach to seed quality analysis is presented, which includes rapid digital morphometry, data modeling and their integration with standard ISTA tests.

Ion implantation is a well established technique to dope selectively prespecified regions of silicon substrates. It has the drawback that a thermal treatment is required to activate the dopant and to reconstruct the crystal lattice. This leads to dopant diffusion in depth and also laterally, when the implantation has been preformed through a patterned mask.In this paper two different approaches to determine the doping profile using chemical etching and TEM are presented. Cross-section specimens are prepared using a technique described elsewhere, followed by preferential etching.The first approach is well established and is based on the combined action of HF and HNO3.Low concentrations of HF are used to keep the etching rate low enough. Figure 1 shows a cross-section of a boron implanted and annealed sample which has been etched using the solution HF(40%):HNO3(65%)= 1:300 at 5°C for 80 seconds. The etching rate is proportional to the doping level, as shown in figure 2 and it can be observed that the lowest level which one can delineate with this solution is of the order of 1017cm−3, which is in agreement with the delineated level of figure 1, namely 6·1017 cm−3.

AbstractAiming at the mitigation of the toxicologically relevant styrene formed during wheat beer brewing, different malting parameters, such as steeping temperature, germination temperature, withering and kilning temperatures applied during kiln-drying, and aeration rate, were evaluated for their suitability to reduce the content of cinnamic acid, the precursor of styrene, in malts of barley and wheat, responsible for the input of the undesired precursor into the brewing process. According to the results of the present study, higher steeping temperatures, higher germination temperatures, lower aeration rates, and lower withering temperatures during malting are beneficial for the overall reduction of cinnamic acid in wort produced with barley and wheat malts. Thereby, the withering temperature showed the highest impact among the investigated parameters, able to reduce the soluble cinnamic acid content in wort by up to 72%, followed by the germination temperature in combination with the aeration rate and the steeping temperature with reduction capacities of 52 and 16%, respectively. Additionally, a kilning temperature of 200 °C led to the absence of enzyme activities in dark malts, which might also be the main reason for the low phenolic acid contents found in the corresponding wort, finally causing the low concentrations of styrene but also to a certain extent of desired vinyl aromatics in dark wheat beers.

Combined Action

The final form of the polar lobe and lateral wings of developing semicells of M. rotata results from combined action of three growth processes: tip growth, branching and lobe broadening. Tip giowth unaccompanied by branching or broadening occurs during normal development in M. radiata, but is observed only under abnormal conditions (e.g. raised temperature) in M. rotata. When branching and broadening do occur, they occur together and for this reason may be causally related. Autoradiograms demonstrate that specific patterns of cell wall incorporation can be associated with each of the three processes in M. rotata. Autoradiographic patterns found in the polar lobe differ from those found in wings. The growing polar lobe also responds to laser irradiation differently from the wings; lasings occasionally cause duplication of the polar lobe.

Porcine lymphocyte Phaseolus vulgaris phytohemagglutinin (PHA) receptor glycoproteins purified by affinity chromatography have been reassembled into vesicles made of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine by detergent (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide) dialysis. The receptor glycoproteins were incorporated into the lipid vesicles in a nonselective manner with a yield of 65–70%. Vesicles containing the glycoproteins were sealed as evidenced by their impermeability to calcium ions, using quin 2 trapped inside the vesicles. The vesicles were agglutinated by PHA, suggesting that the saccharidic moiety of the reconstituted glycoproteins was, at least in part, oriented towads the extravesicular medium. This observation was further supported by the fact that the vesicles bound 125I-labeled PHA in a specific and saturable manner. At maximum amount of lectin bound, a ratio of 1.01 ± 0.05 μg of PHA per microgram glycoprotein incorporated was measured. When the binding data were analyzed by Scatchard plot, a downward concave profile was observed, suggestive of a positive cooperativity at low concentrations of lectin. The orientation of the reconstituted lectin receptor glycoproteins was determined by proteolytic treatments of labeled glycoproteins. The combined action of trypsin and chymotrypsin released, in the 120 000 × g supernatant, approximately 80% of label when 125I-tagged PHA receptor glycoproteins were incorporated into the vesicles. When the oligosaccharidic moieties of the receptor glycoproteins were specifically labeled, the simultaneous action of the two enzymes released approximately 70% of tritium labeling present in the reconstituted system. Taken together, these results suggest that the reconstituted PHA receptors are preferentially oriented into the phospholipid vesicles. The reconstituted PHA receptor glycoproteins competed effectively with cellular receptors in the assay of PHA-induced porcine lymphocyte activation. A 50% inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed when 1 μg of glycoproteins in vesicles was added to the cultured cells, whereas vesicles alone had no effect at this (equivalent) concentration.
