Изучено влияние тяжелых металлов на прорастание семян редиса и рост проростков, отмечено стимулирующее и угнетающее действие элементов на ряд критериев роста растения. / The influence of heavy metals on the process of radish seed germination and the growth of seedlings was studied, and the stimulating and depressing effects of elements on a number ...

Hybridization in flowering plants depends, in the first place, on the delivery of pollen to a receptive stigma and the subsequent growth of pollen tubes through the style to the ovary, where the sperm nucleus of the pollen grain can ultimately fertilize the egg cell. However, reproductive failure is often observed in distant crosses and is caused b...

Cyperus esculentus is an invasive perennial sedge threatening agricultural production. In Belgium, best in-crop control options involve, amongst other methods, growing maize in monoculture which allows the sequential use of selective herbicides with activity against C. esculentus. Two pot experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of ge...

Galinsoga quadriradiata and Galinsoga parviflora are very troublesome weeds in many organic vegetable crops in Europe. A very straightforward method to keep Galinsoga infestations under control is by targeting the Galinsoga seedbank. To identify cropping systems able to reduce the seedbank size in vegetable-based cropping systems, the relationships...

To pinpoint ethylene-mediated molecular mechanisms involved in the adaptive response to salt stress we conducted a comparative study of Arabidopsis thaliana wild type (Col-0), ethylene insensitive (ein2-1), and constitutive signaling (ctr1-1) mutant plants. Reduced germination and survival rates were observed in ein2-1 plants at increasing NaCl con...

Peat remains the primary constituent of horticultural growing media in professional use. However, use of peat in horticultural growing media results in greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss due to excavation of natural peatlands. Biochar is gaining attention as a sustainable alternative to peat use in horticulture. This study examined the ...

BackgroundRice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important model crops in plant research. Despite its considerable advantages, (phenotypic) bioassays for rice are not as well developed as for Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we present a phenotype-based screening method to study shoot-related parameters of rice seedlings via an automated computer analys...

The haploid ascomycete Diplocarpon rosae is the causal agent of black spot disease on roses, a widespread and devastating disease in the outdoor landscape. In this study, we established a Eurasian collection of 77 monoconidial strains of D. rosae: 50 strains collected on cultivated roses in Europe and Asia, and 27 strains on wild roses in Kazakhsta...

A toxicity test based on inhibition of reproduction in the green macroalga Ulva pertusa involves quantifying the change in thallus color as reproduction progresses. However, interpretation of this color change is reliant on the skill level of the examiner. This study aimed to validate a new toxicity test based on inhibition of reproduction in the g...

Bacterial endospores are exposed to a broad variety of sublethal and lethal stresses in the food production chain. Generally, these stresses will not completely eliminate the existing spore populations, and thus constitute a selection pressure on the spores. One stress that is frequently used in the food production chains to disinfect (food) contac...
