Accumulation of copper in Clarias anguillaris L. and Oreochromis niloticus L.

Clarias anguillaris and Oreochromis niloticus were each exposed to solutions of Analar grade Cu sulphate in static bioassays at a temperature range of 20 to 23.5°C and CaCO₃ hardness of 30 to 44 mg L^?1. Copper accumulation was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The Cu residues in Clarias anguillaris exposed to 0.027, 0.055, and 0.11 mg Cu L^?1. for 8 weeks were 15.7, 21.8, and 31.17 mg g^?1 dry weight, respectively. Oreochromis niloticus exposed to 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg Cu L^?1. accumulated 34.69, 36.09, and 81.03 mg g^?1 dry weight, respectively, over the 8-week period of exposure. The lowest and highest bioconcentration factors (BCF) were 117 and 581 for Clarias anguillaris and, 176 and 694 for Oreochromis niloticus. Copper concentrations in tissues of both species were directly related to the exposure concentrations and the duration of exposure. Increased accumulation towards the last 2 weeks of exposure may be due to impaired capacity of elimination or poor nutritional status.

Skulpturuntersuchungen an Pollen der GattungenTriticum L. undAegilops L.

Zusammenfassung Die Exineskulptur von 42 Arten der GattungenTriticum L. undAegilops L. wurde rasterelektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. In beiden Gattungen wurden sowohl scabrate als auch areolate Skulpturen festgestellt, wobei eine unterschiedliche Zahl von Spinulae an der Bildung der Areolen beteiligt sein kann. Die Skulpturen des einzelnen Pollenkorns zeigen oft eine gewisse Variationsbreite. Die einfacheren Skulpturtypen der GattungTriticum wurden bei den diploiden und den durch ein G-Genom charakterisierten Arten beobachtet, während sich die hexaploiden Weizen durch besonders komplexe Areolenbildungen auszeichnen. Die durch das B-Genom gekennzeichneten tetraploiden Weizen nehmen eine Mittelstellung ein. Bei der GattungAegilops herrschen ebenfalls areolate Exinebildungen vor, die bei der SektionVertebrata durch einfachere, bei der SektionComopyrum durch komplexere Areolen gekennzeichnet sind. Die übrigen Sektionen dieser Gattung zeigen keine einheitliche Tendenz.

Investigations in pollen sculpturing ofTriticum L. andAegilops L.

Summary The exine sculpturing of 42 species of the generaTriticum andAegilops has been investigated with the aid of SEM. Scabrate und areolate sculpturing has been found in both genera. Thereby the areoles may be composed of different numbers of spinules. The single pollen frequently shows some variation in the sculpture type. The most simple sculpture types of the genusTriticum has been observed in diploid species and those, which are characterized by the G-genome. The hexaploid wheats possess the most complex areoles. The exine type of the tetraploid species, characterized by the B-genome, is intermediate. Areolate exine types also prevail in the genusAegilops. The exine of the sectionVertebrata possesses more simple types of areoles, whereas the sectionComopyrum is characterized by more complex areoles. The other sections of this genus do'nt show uniform tendency.

Antibacterial activity of Cuminum cyminum L. and Carum carvi L. essential oils

Essential oils extracted by hydrodistillation from fruits of Cuminum cyminum L. and Carum carvi L. were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (MS). The main components of C. cyminum oil were p-mentha-1,4-dien-7-al, cumin aldehyde, gamma-terpinene, and beta-pinene, while those of the C. carvi oil were carvone, limonene, germacrene D, and trans-dihydrocarvone. Antibacterial activity, determined with the agar diffusion method, was observed against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species in this study. The activity was particularly high against the genera Clavibacter, Curtobacterium, Rhodococcus, Erwinia, Xanthomonas, Ralstonia, and Agrobacterium, which are responsible for plant or cultivated mushroom diseases worldwide. In general, a lower activity was observed against bacteria belonging to the genus Pseudomonas. These results suggest the potential use of the above essential oils for the control of bacterial diseases.     

Biological activity of alpha-galactoside preparations from Lupinus angustifolius L. and Pisum sativum L. seeds.

Biological activity tests were performed on alpha-galactoside preparations obtained from Lupinus angustifolius L. cv. Mirela (alkaloid-rich) and Pisum sativum L. cv. Opal seeds. The studies included the following tests: acute toxicity, cytotoxic test, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH), plaque-forming cell number (IgM-PFC), and influence on the growth of bifidobacteria and coliform presence in rat colon. Results of these studies showed that alpha-galactosides from lupin and pea seeds were essentially nontoxic. Their acute toxicity (LD(50)) in mice was >4000 mg kg(-1) of body weight. alpha-galactoside preparations were not cytotoxic for mouse thymocytes in vitro. The in vitro test shows that oligosaccharides from lupin and pea are utilized by selected beneficial colon bacterium strains. The in vivo experiment demonstrated that alpha-galactosides from legume significantly influenced the growth of bifidobacteria in rats colon. Simultaneously, the decrease of the coliform presence was observed. The chemical composition of the tested preparations had no significant effect on their biological activity.     

Numerical taxonomic studies in the generaTriticum L. andPisum L.

Summary Up till now numerical taxonomy has been applied to cultivated plants only to a limited extent though this method seems to be especially suitable for handling the great diversity of these plants. Moreover the theory of numerical taxonomy has not been studied sufficiently.Therefore studies with cultivated plants were begun with the aim to investigate the fitness of different numerical taxonomic techniques for their classification. Materials used: 1) 24 species ofTriticum and additionally 24 species ofAegilops 2) 1225Triticum taxa from Iran (mostlyT. aestivum) 3) 312 taxa ofPisum (mostlyP. sativum).Using 10 coefficients and 7 clustering methods inTriticum andAegilops in most cases a clear separation of both genera resulted as well as a species arrangement withinTriticum according to the genomes.The main aim when dealing with the wheat from Iran was the investigation of the influence of different character sets. At this the coefficient ofGower and the unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages (UPGMA) were applied. The separation of the different species is satisfying clear while the representatives of the different varieties ofT. aestivum could not always be found in one cluster. This effect increased when adding further characters sets.InPisum the influence of 11 similarity coefficients to the dendrogram formation has been investigated. With two-state characters the simple matching coefficient and with mainly multistate characters the Canberra metric gave best results (using UPGMA and information measures SUMRAT and SAMRAT).The hitherto existing results show the complicatedness of the evaluation of numerical taxonomic methods in their application to cultivated plants. Therefore generalizations are not yet possible.

Homologiebeziehungen bei den Grannenbildungen der GattungenTriticum L. undAegilops L.

Zusammenfassung Die Spelzenbegrannung der GattungenTriticum L. undAegilops L. wurde vergleichend morphologisch untersucht. Auf Grund der unterschiedlichen Anordnung und Längenentwicklung lassen sich Grannen verschiedenen Grades unterscheiden. Dabei können die Spelzen, wie die Begrannung zeigt, eine symmetrische bis extrem asymmetrische Form aufweisen. Durch entwicklungsgeschichtliche Untersuchungen konnte gezeigt werden, daß die Längenentwicklung eng mit der Entstehungsfolge der Grannen verbunden ist. Die verschiedenen Begrannungsmuster des untersuchten Verwandtschaftskreises charakterisieren unterschiedliche Entwicklungsstufen eines in wesentlichen Zügen einheitlichen Differenzierungsablaufs der Spelzenentwicklung.

Homology relations in awn growthes of the generaTriticum L. andAegilops L.

Summary The glume awnedness of the generaTriticum andAegilops was investigated by comparing their morphology. On the basis of the different arrangement and length development awnes of different degree can be distinguished. As evidenced by the awnedness, the glumes have symmetrical to extremely asymmetrical form. By ontogenetic investigations it was shown, that the length development is closely connected with the sequence of the awn origin. The different patterns of the awnedness of the genera investigated characterize different developmental stages of an essentially uniform differentiation sequence of the glume development.

Identification and overcoming barriers between Brassica rapa L. em. Metzg. and B. nigra (L.) Koch crosses for the resynthesis of B. juncea (L.) Czern.

Brassica juncea (2n = 36, AABB) is an amphidiploid derived from its diploid progenitor species B. rapa (2n = 20, AA) and B. nigra (2n = 16, BB). Resynthesis of B. juncea by exploiting the wider gene pool of the present day diploids offers a powerful tool for obtaining novel genetic variation. Hybridization between the two species is difficult because of the presence of crossability barriers. Barriers to hybridization were identified using Aniline Blue Fluorescence (ABF) method. Crosses were classified as having pre- or post-fertilization barriers based on whether less than or more than one per cent ovules showed pollen tube entry. Of the 23 crosses studied, seven crosses all with B. rapa as the female parent showed pre-fertilization barriers. Only 0 to 0.3 per cent ovules were fertilized in these crosses. The remaining 16 crosses, four with B. rapa as the female parent and 12 with B. nigra as the female parent, showed post-fertilization barriers. In crosses with pre-fertilization barriers use of bud pollination and stump pollination ensured or increased fertilization. These two simple techniques were used in combination with ovary-ovule culture to ensure recovery of hybrids. In crosses with post-fertilization barriers, ovary-ovule culture alone helped to obtain hybrids. Hybrids were obtained at higher frequency with the use of direct ovule culture compared to ovary-ovule culture. The F₁ plants obtained in vitro were multiplied on MS medium + 2 mg/l Kn + 0.2 mg/l IAA. These F₁ plants were confirmed as true hybrids through morphology, leaf isozymes and cytology. In all 17 hybrids were obtained of which three were amphidiploids.     

Cytoplasmic diversity of Brassica napus L., Brassica oleracea L. and Brassica rapa L. as determined by chloroplast microsatellite markers

Cytoplasmic genomes in most angiosperms are known to be maternally inherited. Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) as a natural amphidiploid species hence may carry the B. oleracea L. or the B. rapa L. cytoplasm, depending on the cross direction. The presence of either the B. oleracea or the B. rapa cytoplasm in oilseed rape has been reported to affect agronomically important traits. However, to date little is known about the cytoplasmic composition and genetic diversity of current winter oilseed rape cultivars and breeding material. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of 40 previously published chloroplast cpSSR markers from Brassica species and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. for distinguishing the cytoplasms of 49 different genotypes of B. napus and its diploid ancestor species. Results showed that only 14 out of the 40 tested primer combinations were suitable to distinguish the cytoplasms of a test set of 8 Brassica genotypes. With the 14 primer pairs 64 different cpSSR alleles were identified in the set of 49 genotypes. Cluster analysis indicated distinct groups for the cytoplasms of B. napus, B. rapa, and B. oleracea. However, an unambiguous identification and classification of the cytoplasm types was not possible in all cases with the available polymorphic set of cpSSR primer pairs.     

Vergleichend-anatomische Untersuchungen im Verwandtschaftskreis vonTriticum L. undAegilops L. (Gramineae)

Zusammenfassung Bei 46 Arten der GattungenTriticum undAegilops wurden anatomische Untersuchungen im Bereich der Organe Wurzel, Halm, Blattspreite, Ährenspindel, Spelzen, Blüte und Karyopse mittels gefärbter Hand- bzw. Mikrotomschnitte vorgenommen. Bedingt durch die kleineren Sproßorgane vonAegilops ergaben sich dort oft geringere Zellgrößen. Häufig waren auch mit der Ploidiestufe korrelierte Merkmale anzutreffen. In einigen Fällen ließ sich der Einfluß bestimmter Arten bzw. Genome auf die Merkmalsausprägung der allopolyploiden Sippen deutlich nachweisen, wofür als besonders klares BeispielAegilops tauschii mit seinem Einfluß auf die hexaploiden Weizenarten und auf die SektionVertebrata der GattungAegilops zu nennen ist. Innerhalb der GattungTriticum konnte eine Beziehung der Weizenarten mit einem G-Genom zu den diploiden Arten dieser Gattung durch Merkmale aller Organe belegt werden, während mit den übrigen Weizenarten weniger Ähnlichkeit besteht. Ein Merkmal im Halmbereich gibt sogar einen Hinweis auf die mögliche Beteiligung vonTriticum urartu an der Evolution der Weizenarten mit dem G-Genom. Nach Blatt- und Spelzenmerkmalen lassen sich die meisten tetraploidenTriticum- Sippen. mit einem AB-Genom zwei verschiedenen Gruppen zuordnen. Die diploiden Weizenarten erwiesen sich als gut charakterisierbare Gruppe. Echte anatomische Unterschiede zwischen Wild- und Kulturweizen bestehen nur in Bezug auf die Brüchigkeit der Ährenspindel. Innerhalb der GattungAegilops stehen sich die SektionenSitopsis undAmblyopyrum sehr nahe und sind auch denTriticum- Sippen viel ähnlicher als die übrigen Vertreter ihrer Gattung. Ein genauerer Hinweis auf den möglichen Donor des B-Genoms läßt sich aber anhand der anatomischen Merkmale nicht geben. Im gesamten Verwandtschaftskreis vonTriticum undAegkilops nur einmal auftretende Merkmale sind sehr selten, jedoch gibt es in mehreren Gruppen relativ isoliert stehende Arten. Zahlreiche anatomische Merkmale sind durch eine so große infraspezifische Variationsbreite gekennzeichnet, daß sie keine phylogenetische Aussage erlauben.

Anatomical studies within the generaTriticum L. andAegilops L. (Gramineae)

Summary The anatomical characters of the root, culm, leaf lamina, ear rhachis, glume, palea, flower and caryopsis of 46Triticum andAegilops species were examined on the basis of coloured sections, made by hand or by microtome. Due to the smaller organ sizes ofAegilops also the cell sizes are mostly reduced in this genus. Often distinct character proved to be correlated with distinct ploidy levels. In some instances we were able to find a clear influence of distinct species or genomes on the characters of their alloploid taxa, e. g. an influence ofAegilops tauschii on the characters of the hexaploid wheat species and on the remaining species of sectionVertebrata ofAegilops. We found characters in all organs which point to a connection betweenTriticum species with genome G and the diploid wheats. The degree of similiarity to the other wheat species is much less strongly. One anatomical character of the culm indicates even a possible contribution ofTriticum urartu to the evolution of the wheat species with genome G. Most of the tetraploid species ofTriticum, genome AB, can be arranged into two different groups by means of leaf and glume characters. The diploid wheat species are a well characterized group. We were not able to find real anatomical differences between wild and cultivated wheat species besides the brittle ear rhachis. Within the genusAegilops the species of the sectionsSitopsis andAmblyopyrum resemble one another and theTriticum species much more than the other species ofAegilops. By anatomical characters it is not possible to indicate exactly the donor of genome B. Characters, which can be found only one time within the genera studied, are very seldom, but rather isolated species occur in several groups. Many anatomical characters are so variable even within the same species, that these characters can not be evaluated in phylogenetic respect.

Über morphologische Wurzelmerkmale beiTriticum L. undAegilops L. (Gramineae)

Zusammenfassung Die in der Literatur angegebenen Unterschiede in morphologischen Wurzelmerkmalen vonTriticum- undAegilops- Sippen sind allgemein so gering, daß sie auf den Einfluß unterschiedlicher ökologischer Bedingungen zurückgeführt werden können. Für die Klärung taxonomisch-phylogenetischer Fragestellungen sind die vorhandenen Befunde deshalb derzeit nicht einsetzbar.Bei 47 Arten der GattungenTriticum undAegilops wurde die Embryonal-Wurzelzahl bestimmt. Sie beträgt durchschnittlich 3–5 EW/Pfl. Sie ist ein art- und sortentypisches Merkmal, wird aber auch von vielen anderen Faktoren beeinflußt. Bei den untersuchten Arten kann sie zur näheren Charakterisierung der ArtenT. sphaerococcum undA. mutica dienen, die sich darin von den jeweils verwandten Arten besonders deutlich unterscheiden. Das Gesamtwurzelsystem wurde bei den untersuchten Arten eingeteilt in: Embryonalwurzeln, die bereits im Embryo angelegt sind und während und kurz nach dem Keimvorgang auswachsen; sproßbürtige Wurzeln, die während der Bestockung an den Nodien des Sprosses angelegt werden, und Seitenwurzeln, die an anderen Wurzeln entspringen. Die Embryonalwurzeln sind morphologisch recht einheitlich, während die Morphologie der sproßbürtigen Wurzeln sehr vom Erstarkungswachstum des Sprosses beeinflußt wird. Sproßbürtige Wurzeln wachsen immer nur im Zusammenhang mit der Anlage von Seitentrieben aus. Außerhalb des Nodalbereichs entspringen am Sproß keine Wurzeln. Seitenwurzeln können an allen Wurzeln gebildet werden. Sie zeigen den prinzipiell gleichen anatomischen Aufbau wie die Wurzeln, von denen sie abgehen, sind aber stärker reduziert. Die Wurzelfarbe ist vom ontogenetischen Alter des betreffenden Wurzelteils abhängig. Sie verändert sich von anfangs wächsern weiß über gelb nach braun. Der Durchmesser der sproßbürtigen Wurzeln am extrem proximalen Wurzelteil hängt davon ab, welches Ausmaß das Erstarkungswachstum des Sprosses an jenem Nodium erreicht hat, an dem die Wurzel entspringt. In distaler Richtung wird der Durchmesser auf ein den Embryonalwurzeln ähnliches Maß reduziert.

On Morphological Characters of the Roots inTriticum L. andAegilops L. (Gramineae)

Summary The number of seminal roots of 47 species ofTriticum s. str. andAegilops has been determined. In this character there are differences between species and within species. Most of the species have on an average 3–5 seminal roots per plant, butA. mutica has only one.T. sphaerococcum is characterized by a lower number of seminal roots (3,1) as similarly to the other hexaploid wheat species (3,9–4,4).The terminology of the different root types of a wheat plant is rather confused. This makes the interpretation of published data very difficult. Here the roots are classified into seminal roots, which are present at the embryo, nodal roots, which grow out from the stem, and branch roots, which grow out from other roots. The morphology of a nodal root is highly dependent from the ontogenetic stage of that nodium, from which it originates. The morphology of all roots is heavily influenced by the ecological conditions. That is the reason why it is generally impossible up to now to use morphological characters for taxonomical or phylogenetical purpose.

Influence of lupin (Lupinus luteus L. cv. 4492 and Lupinus angustifolius L. var. zapaton) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) germination on microbial population and biogenic amines

Microbial population and bioactive amine profile and levels of two lupin species (Lupinus luteus L. cv. 4492 and Lupinus angustifolius L. var. zapaton) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) seeds as affected by germination were investigated. Microbial population increased considerably mainly in the first stage of germination (2 days), then small changes in bacterial numbers were observed up to 5 days to levels between 7.8 and 8.9 log colony-forming units/g. Microorganisms belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family were dominant for the legumes tested. Ungerminated legume seeds contained putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, spermidine, and spermine. Bioactive amine levels found in fenugreek seeds were between 3- and 4-fold higher than those found in lupin seeds. The highest total amine levels were found in fenugreek seeds [162 mg/kg of dry weight (dw)], followed by L. angustifolius var. zapaton seeds (84 mg/kg of dw) and, finally, L. luteus cv. 4492 (46 mg/kg of dw) seeds. The concentration of individual amines showed a gradual rising trend during the germination period in all tested sprouts, reaching levels >3 times higher than those found in ungerminated seeds. After 5 days of germination, the fenugreek sprouts contained the highest amount of total bioactive amines. Tyramine was the predominant amine in both lupin varieties, whereas cadaverine was the main bioactive amine detected in fenugreek. The results of this work thus indicated that microbial population and biogenic amine levels in the studied lupin and fenugreek sprouts are not a risk for healthy consumers or for individuals with restricted activity of detoxification enzymes.     

Various Applications of Seaweed Improves Growth and Biochemical Constituents of Zea Mays L. and Helianthus Annuus L.

In this study, the effect of seaweed on the growth of Zea mays L. and Helianthus annuus L. was investigated. Seeds of the plants have been soaked for 6 hours in 0.5% Gracilaria corticata and 1.0% Enteromorpha flexuosa aqueous extract. The presoaked seeds were sown both in soil irrigated monthly with aqueous extract and in soil mixed with powdered seaweeds. Growth parameters of plants were studied after 60 days of growth. The results revealed that both applications of G. corticata and E. flexuosa enhance shoot length, root length, shoot and root dry weights, photosynthetic pigments, carbohydrate and protein contents, and nutrient uptake. The maximum growth was observed with irrigation by E. flexuosa extract. The element constituent [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), iron (Fe³⁺), manganese (Mn²⁺), and zinc (Zn²⁺)] and phytohormones [Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins, and cytokinins] of E. flexuosa extract and powder was higher that of G. corticata. Of the two seaweeds tested, E. flexuosa exhibited better responses.     

Codigested dairy slurry as a phosphorus and nitrogen source for Zea mays L. and Amaranthus cruentus L.

Residues from biogas production contain essential plant nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) but also organic matter, and should be recycled in crop production. For efficient re‐use as fertilizers, the availability of nutrients for crops and the effect of the residues on soil fertility need to be evaluated. Focusing on the element P, we compared effects of codigested slurry with dairy slurry, highly soluble mineral NPK fertilizer, and a control without any P supply (NK). Codigested slurry used in this experiment was based on anaerobic digestion of dairy slurry, maize silage, and wheat grain. The fertilizing effects were tested in an 8‐week pot experiment on a sandy and a loamy soil using two crop species (Zea mays L., Amaranthus cruentus L.). The plant P uptake was up to 64% greater in the slurry treatments than in the treatment without P. The effect of codigested slurry on P uptake was comparable to that of dairy slurry and mineral P. Plant N uptake from codigested slurry was lower than that from mineral N (NK, NPK), but tended to be higher than from dairy slurry. The water‐soluble and double lactate–soluble P content of the soil was lower in the slurry treatments than in the mineral‐P treatments and accompanied by higher contents of microbial‐bound P. Differences between both organic fertilizers were detected for dehydrogenase activity which was up to 32% lower in soils fertilized with codigested slurry than it was in soils fertilized with dairy slurry. Our results indicate that codigestion of slurries in biogas plants does not substantially alter their fertilizer value as P and N sources for crops.
