Distribution of radioactive photosynthetic products as well as their utilization in biosynthesis of lignin and cellulose in one-year-old pine seedlings was investigated at different growth stages. It was found that time of metabolization and the rate of photosynthetic products incorporation into lignin and cellulose depends on the organ and -on the kind of polymer synthetized.

Dynamics of translocation and distribution of radioactive photosynthetic products in one year old pine (<i>P. silvestris</i> L.) seedlings was investigated at different growth stages. It was found that the utilization of photosynthetic products in particular organs depends greatly on the growth stage. Loses of photosynthetic products as a result of respiration were the smallest at the stage of intensive needle growth and the greatest at the stage of approaching dormancy.

Population studies and tests on the relationship between density and damage were conducted in 1999 to 2001 to determine the pest status of <I>Empoasca dolichi</I> on groundnut (<I>Arachis hypogaea </I>L.) in the Zaria area of northern Nigeria. Analyses showed that <I>Empoasca</I> numbers varied significantly from one year to another, and within each year the numbers of leafhoppers observed at the different growth stages of the plant were significantly different (<I>P</I> = 0.01). There was an inverse and highly significant relationship between the mean kernel yield and the <I>Empoasca </I>damage at the different growth stages of the plant. When natural population densities were plotted against economic injury level (EIL), the densities did not reach the EIL throughout the groundnut growing seasons. The insect was thus not an economic pest on groundnut in Zaria during the period of the study.

Nitrates of aluminum, cadmium, manganese and lead cause changes in the content of phenolic compounds (o-dPh and TPh) in needles and roots, and in the rate of dark respiration (DR) of roots of one-year-old seedlings of Scots pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.). The changes depend on the cation, the salt concentration used, and the analyzed plant part. The observed changes in the levels of phenolic compounds in needles and roots, and the rate of respiration in roots, indicate the following rank in toxicity of the studied metal cations: Mn < Al < Pb < Cd.
