Authors: Salomão Rafael Paiva , Rosa Nélson Araújo , Morais Kácio Andrey Câmara
Published: February 2022

A restauração florestal das áreas mineradas tornou-se uma condicionante indispensável no licenciamento das minas. A restauração da paisagem florestal em áreas lavradas a céu aberto é feita através do reflorestamento heterogêneo com espécies regionais, visando a enriquecer a composição florística e acelerar a cobertura do solo, aliado à prática de incorporação de solo superficial que facilita/induz a regeneração e a sucessão natural. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram analisar a dinâmica e a estrutura da regeneração natural de arbóreas, identificar os tipos e os agentes de dispersão dos propágulos, elaborar uma matriz dos indicadores da dinâmica dessa regeneração natural e ranquear as áreas anuais de restauração florestal da Mineração Rio do Norte, Flona Saracá-Taquera/IBAMA, Porto Trombetas, Pará. O estudo toma como base os resultados de 26 parcelas permanentes, abrangendo um período de quatro anos de monitoramento (2001 a 2005) nas áreas restauradas pela empresa entre 1981 e 1987; 1992 e 1996. Todos os indivíduos arbóreos com mais de 1,5 m de altura total foram qualificados e registrados na amostragem. Sobre a regeneração das espécies arbóreas, concluiu-se que: (i) apresenta maior número de espécies nas áreas jovens (entre 9 e 13 anos) do que as mais maduras (entre 18 e 24 anos de idade); (ii) as áreas mais antigas apresentam maior incremento anual do número de espécies; (iii) a abundância (ind/ha) tende a ser maior nas áreas mais jovens; (iv) o recrutamento, a ser bem mais intenso na áreas maduras do que nas jovens; (vi) a mortalidade anual nas áreas jovens é maior do que naquelas maduras; (vii) a taxa anual de renovação (turnover) é bem mais intensa nas áreas maduras; (viii) o tempo de substituição (turnover time) é mais extenso nas áreas jovens; (ix) o diâmetro médio manteve-se praticamente constante no período analisado; (x) o incremento anual da área basal é maior nas áreas maduras do que nas áreas jovens; (xi) a altura total média é maior nas áreas jovens do que nas áreas maduras; (xii) várias espécies arbóreas são dispersas por mais de um agente e mais de 80% das espécies arbóreas monitoradas são dispersas pela fauna, que exerce um papel fundamental na sucessão ecológica; (xiii) a área anual de 1992 foi ranqueada como a de melhor restauração florestal e, no extremo oposto, com maiores problemas, tem-se a área de 1987; (xiv) deve-se investir em pesquisas sobre o manejo do solo superficial em áreas fortemente impactadas pela atividade humana, objetivando a restauração florestal de maior riqueza, abundância e crescimento das espécies arbóreas; (xv) práticas silviculturais e de preparo do solo devem ser também objeto de pesquisa visando à otimização do paradigma da restauração florestal: a maximização da biodiversidade e da biomassa vegetal de árvores, sobretudo daquelas regionais de rápido crescimento e adaptadas a esses ambientes.
Crânio e esqueleto abdominal de Stenocercus dumerilii (Steindachner, 1867) (Reptilia: Squamata: Iguania)
Authors: Hernández-Ruz Emil José , Avila-Pires Teresa Cristina Sauer
Published: February 2022

The objective of this study is to describe the skull and abdominal skeleton of the lizard Stenocercus dumerilii (Steindachner, 1867), with emphasis on those characters used in phylogenetic studies involving the genus Stenocercus. The peculiar shape of the head (pyramidal, with a distinct canthal-superciliary ridge that ends in a prominent postsupraciliary scale) results in part from the shape of the prefrontal and postfrontal bones, both of which bear protuberances projecting towards the orbital cavity. The postfrontal bone represents the highest point of the cranium. Contrary to what has been observed in other species of Stenocercus and in most Tropiduridae, the studied specimens of S. dumerilii presented a single pair of xiphisternal inscriptional ribs (followed by a pair of posterior xiphisternal processes). Besides, they presented five pairs of postxiphisternal inscriptional ribs widely separated ventrally. One specimen (of two studied) showed the pineal foramen completely enclosed by the frontal instead of in frontoparietal suture.
Morphology and micromorphology of the seed coats of species of Echinodorus (Alismataceae) from Brazilian Northeastern
Authors: Matias Ligia Queiroz , Soares Geraldo
Published: February 2022

The morphology and the micromorphological characteristics of the surface of seeds of ten species of Echinodorus Rich. & Engelm. ex. A. Gray which occurs in northeastern Brazil were examined using scanning electron microscopy. The diversity of the observed ornaments allowed to distinguish the seed testa of the studied species as follows: scalariform in E. pubescens (Martius) Seubert, tenuous ribbed in E. tenellus (Martius) Buchenau, tenuous reticulate in E. reticulatus Haynes & Holm-Nielsen, reticulate channeled in E. grandilforus (Chamisso & Schlechtendal) Micheli subsp. aureus (Fassett) Haynes & Holm-Nielsen, reticulated in E. glandulosus Rataj, reticulated-foveate in E. paniculatus Micheli and E. lanceolatus Rataj, and reticulated tenuous foveate in E. palaefolius (Nees & Martius) MacBride, E. subalatus (Martius) Grisebach and E. macrophyllus (Kunth) Micheli subsp. scaber (Rataj) Haynes & Holm-Nielsen. The complete description presents observations of the form of the component cells of the testa of these seeds, their anticlinal boundaries with respective cell junctions and cell wall thicknesses. The results suggest the importance of the seed micromorphology as a synthetic character to infra-generic classification of Echinodorus.

Repere psiholingvistice și socio(in)culturale. Pentru un repertoar de transpunere scenică a comicului de limbaj caragialian
Authors:   Universitatea de Arte din Târgu Mureș, Stamatoiu Cristian
Published: February 2022

The study identifies the necessity of opening new access paths towards the subtleties of Caragiale’s texts for any type of reader, even though they are specifically aimed at the theatrical producers of his comedies. Renouncing the classic literary-dramatic analyses, we will investigate the abysmal psychology of the characters and their interrelationships on the paths of the popular etymologies, as symptoms of the inherent lack of culture for any category of impostors. Ostensibly preposterous in their tragic precariousness, these “acts of failed discourse“ will reveal the true personality of the … per-so-nullity (!), which, if ignored, would lead to the failure of an authentic stage presence of the character. These decryptions can then be classified as a practical tool for working on the stage: a Glossary that will provide a solid basis for developing the vision of each stage artist, critic or competent reader/spectator of Caragiale.
Considerații privind teatrul târgumureșean în perioada comunistă
Authors:   Universitatea de Arte din Târgu Mureș, Florea Maria-Magdalena
Published: February 2022

There is a multitude of artistic directions that manifested themselves in the twentieth century in Romanian culture. This study presents, in short, the social and political framework in which the Târgumureș theater evolved during the Ceaușescu dictatorship. Thus, the period 1965-1971 is known as the period of cultural openness and political liberalization. The national veins of culture are rediscovered and revalued; art and cultural activities claim and gain relative autonomy from official policy directives, and ideological censorship becomes more permissive. Literature, theater, cinematography, cultural press, but also the visual arts, know a renewal of substance and performance achievements. After 1971, in the era of the cultural revolution imported from China and North Korea, the communist regime showed an increasing tendency to re-ideologize the cultural environment and tighten censorship. The political regime is gradually evolving towards a restalinization, by imposing an “ideological line” in culture and by the cult of the personality of the dictator Ceausescu. The effect of this ideological turn will prove to be culturally contradictory.
Întemeierea etică a spectacolului de teatru
Authors:   Universitatea de Arte din Târgu Mureș, Sabadoș Sabin
Published: February 2022

The way we interpret artistic creations - and especially theatrical ones - is about value judgments based on what the eye holds and the spirit embodies. If we accept the Kantian view that we have a world of things and a world of people - which will shed light on the relationship between aesthetics and ethics, between the work of art and human behavior, between beauty and attitudes - we can accept that the supreme value that governs us is the moral law, understood as a necessary and universal principle. In our work we will try to show that, on the one hand, the stage creation and its reception are based on rules and norms not arbitrary, but deeply rooted in the human being, on the other hand, that the theatrical work (more precisely, the theatre performance) tends to free itself from any constraints, seeking solutions “beyond good and evil”, but not to invalidate their validity, but to make a return, through knowledge and interpretation, a return to the bosom of ethics.

Published: February 2022

We report the development of a strategy for obtaining a truly voluntary and informed consent for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) research with Burma-born refugees settled in Australia. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, we interviewed 29 providers of refugee services (PRS) including health care professionals (doctors, nurses, midwives), bilingual supporting staff (interpreters, social workers, settlement workers, community liaison officers) and administrative staff (practice managers, reception staff) who provide primary care services to refugees. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and subjected to thematic analysis. Four themes emerged: (a) unique values of Burma-born people, (b) unfamiliarity with Western concepts of research, (c) usefulness of individual consent discussions with potential participants, and (d) need for verification of voluntary participation prior to research interview. Results were used to develop a three-stage process of research consent. The first stage comprises of community information sessions to introduce concepts of research including explanations of voluntary participation and informed consent. Secondly, consent discussions for interested participants are undertaken with their preferred interpreter. Finally, voluntary participation is confirmed just prior to the interview. This three-stage process of research consent will serve as a useful tool for PRS to support cross cultural SRH research interactions involving interpreters and participants.

Published: February 2022

This paper deals with expressive vocabulary as a liguistic-stylistic dominant in Jezdimir Dangić's novel Our Imprisonment. The main focus is placed on lexemes which disappeared from the active lexical layer between Dangić's time and today, or their usage became territorially limited, which makes this paper an addition to the study of the history of Serbian expressive vocabulary. In the paper, we also particularly highlight the stylistic effects of expressive vocabulary in literary and artistic works, especially the way expressives are used as a medium of literary characters' characterisation.

STILISTIČKA ANALIZA KOMPOZICIJE, LEKSIKE I TUĐEG GOVORA U PESMI „ŽENIDBA BEGA LjUBOVIĆA“ HADžI RADOVANA BEĆIROVIĆA TREBJEŠKOG
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Sretković Arsenije M.
Published: February 2022

This paper discusses the stylistic features of the epic poem The Marriage of Beg Ljubović by Radovan Bećirović. The analysis includes composition, vocabulary and direct speech. The aim of the paper is to shed light on the peculiarities of composi- tion, to record lexical layers and to determine the used models of transmitting direct speech. The ultimate goal is to determine the stylistic features that differentiate the poem The Marriage of Beg Ljubović from other epic poems as well as from other poems from Radovan Bećirović’s opus. The composition of the poem is quite complex, the vocabulary is layered, and the direct speech proves to be a successful stylistic means by which dramatization is achieved. The analytical-descriptive method was used in the paper. Unlike traditional epic poems, the poem The Marriage of Beg Ljubović contains descriptions of psychological states, descriptions of landscapes and descriptions of heroes. Description often replaces narration. On the lexical level, the appearance of neologisms is noticed as a differential feature. Using the forms of direct and indirect speech, the discourses of the heroes are introduced into the poem. Several variations of direct speech have been noted: true, unintroduced and free.

The history of music points to the fact that vocal music from the fif- teenth to the nineteenth centuries was concentrated on expression of emotions of composers. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, in 1814, Austrian composer Franz Schubert, with his song Gretchen am Spinnrade marked the beginning of the genre of song in Romanticism – Lied, which shows the link between the character of poetry and the character of music. By analysing the structure of selected songs W. А. Моzart – Das Veilchen, L. V. Beethoven – Freudevoll und leidvoll and Franz Sshubert – Gretchen am Spinnrade and Erlkönig we realised the relationship between vocal line, lyrics and piano score in the periods of Classicism and Romanticism. German musicologist Friedrich Blume believes that Classicism and Romanticism create a unique whole. What is meant to be the peak of Classicism in the works of W. A. Mozart is intertwined with the charm of Romantic. Beethoven’s compositions, construed on the aspirations of Classicists were enriched with dramatic presentation of personal confession of pain in everyday life, whereby they completely confirmed their integration in the nineteenth century. By the form of song and a degree of expression of own emotions, Mozart and Beethoven did not completely match the lyrics and music. In the domain of song, Franz Schubert, although inspired by the works of his predecessors, shows the union between the character of poetry and the character of music, thus emphasizing the influence of meaning and values of lyrics for the realisation of melody.

Nowadays the one element Electricity has become the chief necessity for us. It is not feasible to perform the daily routine domestic task and industrial operation without Electricity. Parallel to the requirement of it, there are also several hurdles during production of it. Although several researcher put their effort to solve issues but still there are some issues. These issues are Lack of clean, reliable energy sources, intraday load and need. Along with these issues there are some hurdles are also such as no access to electricity, Pollution from thermal power plants, Poor pipeline connectivity & infrastructure, inadequate last mile connectivity, Average transmission, distribution & consumer-level losses etc. In existing works the SOLAR PV –WIND Hybrid power generation system review has been applied. It is capable to assist the procedure of generating clean energy. Along with this, there are some challenges of tradition work. These challenges are not 24 hours availability of solar energy. In winter the solar production is not capable to provide the energy. Considering the limitation of exiting work proposed work is integration of hydro electricity power, solar system, Nuclear power and wind energy.

Published: February 2022

In this research,physical methods have been used to analyzed fruits: black berry (Vitex Doriana), Shea butter (Vitellaria Paradixa), Bush Fig (Ficussur), Wild Custard Apple (Annona Senegalensis); Vegetables: Drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera), Zobo drink or Roselle (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) and Beans leave (Phaseolus vulgaris). The pH, density (ρ) , thermal conductivity (K), specific heat capacity (c), latent heat capacity (Lf ), thermal diffusivity (Td), moisture content( MC ), and the total solid (Ts ) were determined. The average mechanical properties of the samples are: pH (5.48), density (435.06Kg/m3), K (0.53JS m3), c (3.60J/kgK), Lhf (2585.61J/Kg), Td (3.89m2s-1), MC (76.77 %) and Ts is (23.25%). The following samples have the highest properties among others: Shea butter has pH (6.81), Wild Custard Apple has ρ (600Kg/M3), beans leave has K (0.5642 JS M3), beans leave has c (3.79J/kg K), beans leave has Lf (282840.00.J/kg), black berry Td (5.8802m2s-1), beans leave has Mc (84.43 %) and bush Fig has Ts (34.00%). The beans leave has the 50% highest property while other samples have the other 50% of the properties. The pH were acidic, K were lower than that of water, Td were higher than that of water, c and Lf were very high, the TS were high and MC were very high which make the sample perishable. To preserve these samples, their moisture contents have to be reduced. A lot of heat will be required to heat or cool these samples, because they are poor conductors of heat.

Authors: Yitegasu Seyoum Gulilat  , Nemomsa Anbese Jiru
Published: February 2022

This study was conducted from April 2018 to May 2018 in Jimma municipal abattoir, south west of Ethiopia. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of C. Tenuicollis in sheep and goat slaughtered at Jimma municipal abattoir and to identify risk factors that can influence the prevalence of C.Tenuicollis. Ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection were conducted. Ante-mortem inspection was conducted in the lairage and abnormalities encountered were recorded, followed by postmortem examination through their identification number to detect gross abnormalities. During the study, a total 109 goats and 275 sheep visceral organs were inspected. C. Tenuicollis was found in 14 goats (12.84%) and 46 sheep (16.72%), respectively. C.Tenuicollis had a tendency to be located more in the mesentery than other organs and this difference between infections rate of mesentery and other organs was not significantly associated (p>0.05). This study also shows that C. Tenuicollis is more frequently detected in the mesentery of goats and sheep than any other visceral organs. Appropriate control measures need to be introduced to reduce the prevalence of these parasites in small ruminants. So as to reduce these losses, further studies should be done in different abattoirs of the country and introduce preventive measures to reduce unnecessary financial losses.
Heavy Metal Contamination of Green Leafy Vegetables Cultivated in Residential Gardens in Enugu Urban, South East Nigeria
Authors: Joshua I. Ume  , Chigozie B. Ichu, and Nnenna S. John
Published: February 2022

The accumulation of some essential (Cu, Mn and Zn) and toxic metals (Cd and Pb) in cultivated vegetablesTelfairia occidental is (fluted pumpkin), Talinum triangulare (water leaf), Amaranthus viridis (green vegetable), and Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaf) was investigated. The vegetables were cultivated in residential gardens in Enugu metropolis, the capital of Enugu State, South-East, Nigeria. Samples of these vegetables were randomly collected from three residential areas, dried, digested and analyzed for heavy metals using Buck 210VGP atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The relative abundance of the metals in the vegetables followed the sequence: Zn (2.28 mg/kg) > Mn (0.91 mg/kg) > Cu (0.45 mg/kg) > Pb (0.3 mg/kg) > Cd (0.05 mg/kg). The concentration levels of all the metals examined were within the FAO/WHO, Indian and the European Union (EU) recommended limits for metals in vegetables obtained from all the residential gardens. This implies that long term consumption of these vegetables does not pose any health risk to the inhabitants of Enugu urban. However, the presence of the metals indicates the gradual accumulation of heavy metals in leafy vegetables. Residential gardens should therefore not be sited close to main roads to avoid metal pollution from traffic emissions. Environmental authorities should prohibit the indiscriminate location of automobile repair shops contiguous to residential areas not only in Enugu Urban, but elsewhere across the country. The results showed that these vegetables are the good sources of essential trace metals.
Review on foreign body in rumen and reticulum of ruminants
Authors: Tolesa Neggasa
Published: February 2022

Cattle play significant contribution in Ethiopian economy as source of meat, milk, drought power, income and foreign exchange. Gastrointestinal foreign bodies are among the most common surgical emergency in veterinary medicine. Swallowed metallic object such as nails or piece of wires, fall directly into the reticulum or pass in to the rumen and are subsequently carried over the rumen reticular folds into the carnio-ventral part of the reticulum. Cattle are more likely to ingest foreign bodies than small ruminant since they don’t use their lips for prehension and are more likely to eat a chopped feed. The condition is more common during drought because animals are grazing closer to the ground. The object can penetrate the diaphragm and enter the thoracic cavity causing pleuritis. Metal detectors were used at one time to aid in the diagnosis of traumatic reticuloperitonitis. Ferrous metallic foreign bodies can be detected with metal detectors. Foreign bodies have great economic significance associated with reduced production and productivity of animals suffering from them.

Background: the incidence of premarital sexual behavior by adolescents in the world has increased, so that adolescents need attention, guidance, supervision from parents, and good service planning related to reproductive health problems, so that teens will avoid risky behaviors namely premarital sexual behavior.Method: The cross-sectional study design was conducted on 229 adolescents aged 16-17 years with multistage random sampling. Questionnaires were used to measure family socioeconomic factors and prevention of premarital sexual behavior using theory and have been modified by researchers. The family socioeconomic factor variables include indicators of education, income, employment and number of family members and the variables for preventing premarital sexual behavior include refusing skills, increasing religiosity, avoiding pornographic media, promoting sexual health and enhancing parent-teen relations.Data analysis: using SEM using software (Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 21). Results: The effect of family socioeconomic factors on the prevention of premarital sexual behavior with a P-value of 0.849 indicates that family socio- economic factors do not significantly influence premarital sexual prevention by adolescents.Conclusion: Family factors in this case are family socio-economic factors that have no effect on premarital sexual prevention in adolescents, this can be caused by the influence of individual adolescents' attitudes and the efforts of adolescents themselves to increase their religiosity and understanding of sexual behavior healthy and responsible who ultimately can make the right decisions and be responsible for their sexual lives and have the ability to resist premarital sexual behavior.

Efficiency Enhancement of Gas Turbine Power Output by Cooling Inlet Air
Authors:   Department of Petroleum and Gas Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Nile University of Nigeria, Abuja, FCT, Nigeria, Salihu Ayuba
Published: February 2022

Electrical power generation can be achieved through many means, one of which includes using a gas turbine. Gas turbine performance is highly dependent on ambient temperature; as temperature increases gas turbine power output is lessened. This can be a huge problem in warmer regions like Nigeria. Gas turbines use the surrounding air to generate electricity and this gives rise to a method or curbing the effect of high ambient temperatures. Once the volumetric rate is constant as is the case in a gas turbine system, air density and ambient temperature are inversely proportional; this allows mass flow rate to be inversely proportional to temperature. To fully take advantage of this, there are many methods that can be implemented to achieve this cooling effect. A few of these methods were investigated in this study to determine their strengths and susceptibilities. The performance characteristics were scrutinised for a range of operational values including ambient temperature, humidity and air density. The results showed that air cooling significantly improved the power output of the gas turbine. At standard temperature of 32oc, the base case was 37.87 MW while evaporative cooler, mechanical and absorption chillers were 37.70 MW, 40.39 MW and 41.07 MW respectively.

Hydrogen fuel has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions significantly. In this study, PV-alkaline electrolysis cell was combined and during day time it was harvested energy. Some of the deposited energy was used on-grid alkaline electrolysis cell and hydrogen was produced also was stored. In the electrolysis system, Ni-based coatings were operated on steel mesh with the help of the electrodeposition method. It was used re-cycled steel mesh substrates in order to decrease operational costs and also in order to encourage metal-cycling in our country. The relevancy of cathodes was investigated using bulk electrolysis. The characterization was achieved via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Results define both effects of "lab-made cathodes performance comparison" and "the trend of PV panel under different climate and weather conditions". This system reflects the real-time measurements for Adana, Sarıcam region of Turkey.

Published: February 2022

In order to obtain seeding material with a closed root system the method of propagation by root grafts of remontant

raspberry has been studied. The studies were carried out in a covered soil (RUE “Institute of Fruit-growing” greenhouses

of the berry crops department). To grow remontant raspberries seedlings from root grafts it is necessary to use P3 pots (size:

13×13×13 cm), which allows to get standard seedlings within 2 months (instead of 6 months with traditional propagation

methods) after planting in containers of the recommended volume. The major advantage of seedlings with a closed root

system is a high survival rate when planting in a permanent place, the ability to plant at a convenient time, reliability during

transportation, the long time storage ability for planting.
GROWTH AND FERTILITY OF APPLE TREE SPECIES AKSAMIT AND PALANEZ DEPENDING ON THE CUTTING TECHNIQUES USED IN THE FORMATION OF THE SPINDLE-SHAPED CROWN
Authors: KAPICHNIKOVA N. H. , BUIMISTROVA A. V. , LEONOVICH I. S.
Published: February 2022

The article presents the research results for 2019–2020 (on the 2-3 year after planting the garden) in studying the effect

of various degrees of shortening of one-year growth during the formation of a spindle-shaped crown on the growth and fruiting

of trees of the Aksamit and Palanez species on a semi-dwarf rootstock 54-118.

As a result, it was found that in the studied species the method of crown formation without shortening (cutting) the shoots

contributed to the formation of a larger amount of fruit wood (laying the generative sphere).

The shortening of one-year increments by 1/2 and 1/3 of the length during crown formation stimulated branching and led

to the formation of a larger number of annual increments and their greater total length accordingly.

The first fruiting of the studied species on a semi-dwarf clonal rootstock 54-118 was noted only on the third year after

planting the garden with annual seedlings.

In order to accelerate the fruiting of apple trees on a semi-dwarf clonal rootstock 54-118 when forming a spindle-shaped

crown in the first two years after planting the garden, it is necessary to take into account their species characteristics:

in the early ripening Aksamit species shortening of the annual growth should be excluded, and in the average ripening period

Palanez species shortening of the one-year growth by 1/3 of the length is permissible.

Published: February 2022

The article presents the study results of five species of honeysuckle blue self-fertilization of derivatives in 2019–2020:

from Lonicera caerulea subsp. kamtschatika – Zinri, Sinyavokaya, Pavlovskaya, L. caerulea subsp. altaica – Sirius, Selena.

In the variations of free, natural and artificial pollination the fruit setting, the number of ripen fruits and the average fruit

weight were evaluated.

A high indicator of fruit setting (73.7–100.0 %) was established in the variations of free and artificial self-pollination.

Despite the high setting, the number of ripen fruits in the self-pollination variations was 1.3–12.8 times less than in the

free-pollination variation. When self-fertilized, cultivars Pavlovskaya and Zinri got undeveloped, seedless fruits, cultivar

Selena presented weak development of ovaries, shedding of fruits at the stage of colouration, predominance of puny, small,

unfulfilled fruits and seeds.

The species Sirius and Sinyavokaya, which set more than 20 % of full-fledged fruits in the variations of natural and

artificial self-pollination, were distinguished.
