The description of the computer “BD-PLANT-KZ” program, intended for input and storage in memory of the computer of various botanical information on plants of natural flora of Kazakhstan is provided. 11 points of the program are a part of the Main menu: "File", "Editing", "Input", "Search", "Viewing", "Lists", "Herbarium", "Communities", "Databases", "Service" and "Reference". The program allows carrying out quick search of data, printing, exporting to various formats, drawing up reports and lists in the set taxonomical, bioecological, decorative and other parameters. “BD-PLANT-KZ” has undergone successful approbation in two botanical gardens of Kazakhstan (Altai and Mangyshlak). Now floristic the database of the program includes information on natural flora for 882 taxons from 4 departments, 6 classes, 12 subclasses, 26 suborders, 59 orders, 10 suborders, 80 families and 300 gena. Approbation of the program has allowed making the summary characteristic of natural flora of the Western Kazakhstan on the example of the Mangystau, Atyrau, Aktyubinsk and West-Kazakhstany regions. Lists of taxons are determined by geographical points and floristic areas, geographical novelties are revealed.

Lettuce is a common menu item that may involve bacteria of public health significance. The most favorable environment for bacterial growth is the exudate (juice) from cut or broken leaves. Bacteria from growing lettuce and those added during harvesting, transportation and storage are able to grow in the exudate. At 10 C gram-negative, psychrotrophic bacteria become the predominant elements of the microflora, while at 20 C the microflora resemble those commonly associated with lactic fermentation of vegetables. Increasing the concentration of solids in lettuce juice to simulate evaporation from droplets of exudate suppressed growth of some members of the natural flora but had little effect on added bacteria of public health significance. Vacuum packaging only decreased slightly the rate of growth of the normal flora in droplets of lettuce juice. All the results indicated lettuce juice may be important as a harborage for bacteria of public health significance.

AbstractThe aim of our work was to analyse synanthropic fraction of spontaneous flora of gardens and parks in the Middle Pobuzhzhia Region of Ukraine and to reveal the features of synanthropisation. The landscapes of gardens and parks in the Region include botanical gardens, arboretums and monuments of landscape art. A total of 15 objects were studied. The floras of parks were estimated by proportion of different groups (origin, naturalisation degree, time and ways of introduction) of synanthropic species. The synanthropic fraction of spontaneous flora was calculated using the indices of synanthropisation, apophytisation, anthropophytisation, archeophytisation, kenophytisation and modernisation. These indices were specified for each park and for the Middle Pobuzhzhia Region in general. The obtained data were compared to each other and to the analogous urban floras from different zones of Ukraine. It was revealed that the apophytisation processes were dominated by the processes of adventisation in most of the parks. The proportion of the synanthropic fraction of spontaneous flora of the Middle Pobuzhzhia Region was significantly lower compared to urban floras of some cities of Ukraine, and despite a considerable anthropogenic pressure retained some features of natural flora.

Within the framework of the national goals and strategic objectives of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024, the tasks were formulated to radically improving the comfort of the urban environment, preserving biological diversity and preserving forests. These tasks can be successfully solved only in a integrated study of the biological environment of a concrete region. The article shows that the Botanical gardens, providing reliable preservation of the gene pool of the plant world from living organisms to biomaterials, are one of the forms of organization of the scientific process associated with the maintenance and preservation of the diversity of plant bioresources. Collection funds of Botanical gardens, which include tens of thousands of plant names, are a national treasure. The genetic resources of plants preserved in the collections of Botanical gardens represent a unified national collection distributed throughout the territory of the Russian Federation in a wide range of climatic conditions. Plants of natural flora and are currently indispensable raw materials for the food industry and pharmacology, despite the enormous development of the chemistry of synthetic compounds and nanobiotechnology. Botanical gardens can become not only focal points for the study and conservation of plant bioresources, but also the organization of joint research and international cooperation in this field, environmental and aesthetic education of the population.

The possibility of seed genetic banks creating is associated with the ability of many plants seeds (the so-called orthodox ones) to maintain germination ability for a long time, being in a dormant state. This opens up wide prospects for the formation of a reserve seeds fund of rare species that are threatened with extinction in natural communities. Botanical gardens in different countries of the world, including the Russian Federation, are working on the creation of such seed banks. To assess the quality of seeds in relation to agricultural crops, as well as natural flora species, radiography is used. It is this kind of non-damaging express assessment of the quality of seeds that turns out to be the most informative technique for seed material obtained in botanical gardens. The article presents the preliminary results of an X-ray study of the seeds quality of some Samara region rare plants - four species ofthe Iris genus - Iris aphylla L., I. halophila Pall., I. pumila L., I. sibirica L.

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

And Storage

The isopod hepatopancreas, as exemplified by Oniscus ascellus. is comprised of four blind-ending diverticula. The regenerative cells at the tip of each diverticula differentiate into either club-shaped B-cells, which serve a secretory function, or into conoid S-cells, which serve in the absorption and storage of nutrients.The glandular B-cells begin producing secretory material with the development of rough endoplasmic reticulum during their process of maturation from the undifferentiated regenerative cells. Cytochemical and morphological data indicate that the hepatopancreas sequentially produces two types of secretory material within the large club-shaped cells. The production of the carbohydrate-like secretory product in immature cells seems to be phased out as the production of the osmiophilic secretion was phased in as the cell matured.

Insight Into

Geological samples typically contain many minerals (phases) with multiple element compositions. A complete analytical description should give the number of phases present, the volume occupied by each phase in the bulk sample, the average and range of composition of each phase, and the bulk composition of the sample. A practical approach to providing such a complete description is from quantitative analysis of multi-elemental x-ray images.With the advances in recent years in the speed and storage capabilities of laboratory computers, large quantities of data can be efficiently manipulated. Commercial software and hardware presently available allow simultaneous collection of multiple x-ray images from a sample (up to 16 for the Kevex Delta system). Thus, high resolution x-ray images of the majority of the detectable elements in a sample can be collected. The use of statistical techniques, including principal component analysis (PCA), can provide insight into mineral phase composition and the distribution of minerals within a sample.
