Spelt wheat (Triticum spelta L.) is a high-value grain crop which is characterized by high protein, gluten and aminoacids content, high adaptive potential, resistance to diseases and high antioxidant activity. However, it is significantly inferior to soft wheat in terms of yield capacity. From crosses of spelt and soft wheat new promising genotypes can be obtained with improved quantitative traits due to introgression in the genome of spelt wheat of genetic material of soft wheat. In the research presented here based on hybridization of Triticum spelta L. × Triticum aestivum L. we obtained new forms of spelt which differ among themselves in terms of morphological characteristics, productivity and grain quality. As a result of the conducted research, a wide form-forming process in terms of plant height, ear morphology and grain threshing quality was recorded. The height of plants in F1 hybrids is inherited by the type of dominance of high stemness or intermediate inheritance was established. In the F2–F4 generations, the share of obtaining short-stemmed forms of spelt wheat was higher than with the use of short-stemmed varieties of common wheat as the maternal form. In F2 offspring, the inheritance of threshing quality by the type of dominant epistasis according to the 12 : 3 : 1 scheme was established. In F3–4 offspring, splitting according to ear morphology occurred with the appearance of not only typical forms of spelt wheat or common wheat, but also intermediate forms with different ratios of spike length and density. High-yielding (5.75–5.79 t/ha) short-stemmed (h = 78–89 cm) spelt wheat samples 1817 and 1559 with high grain quality indicators (weight of 1000 grains 64.4 g, protein content – 21.0%, gluten – 43.7%) were identified. Sample 13, which successfully combined high grain quality indicators in particular high protein content (26.2%), gluten content (55.8%), grain hardness (66.5 units), flour strength (340 alveograph units) was selected.

The prohibition of antibacterial agents in animal husbandry has spurred research into the creation and study of new probiotic supplements aimed at normalizing the gut microbiota to ensure colonization resistance of the host organism. This resistance prevents the colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by pathogenic and opportunistic microflora. Scientists from many countries have developed a range of preparations based on the normal gut microbiota, such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, which are used to maintain and restore the biocenosis of the digestive tract. These probiotics are also effective therapeutic and preventive agents for poultry digestive tract diseases, helping correct gut microbiocenosis. In our study, we investigated the impact of the combined probiotic preparation "TIMM-P" on the productive characteristics of poultry and the quality and preservation of broiler chicken meat. This study determined clinical indicators, absolute and average daily weight gains, the meat quality of broiler chickens, and its chemical composition under the influence of the probiotic supplement. It was found that administering "TIMM-P" in courses on days 1–5, 21–25, and 30–35 positively influences the growth of muscle tissue in poultry. Determination of the chemical composition of meat in 42-day-old experimental broiler chickens indicated a significant increase in total protein content in the muscle tissue using the probiotic. Additionally, the absolute and average daily weight gains of the broiler chickens in the experimental group significantly increased during days 15–28 and 29–42 of the study. We observed a significant impact of the probiotic preparation on extending the shelf life of poultry meat based on the study of organoleptic and chemical indicators of broiler chicken meat during refrigerated storage. On the 7th and 9th days of storage, the carcasses of the experimental group that received the probiotic showed a significant decrease in pH levels, acid number, and peroxide number of the fat in the meat. Thus, oral administration of the probiotic preparation increases live weight gains, improves meat quality indicators of broiler chickens, and extends its shelf life. The obtained results have important practical significance as they scientifically substantiate the use of probiotic preparation as a means to preserve livestock, increase live weight gains of broiler chickens, and improve poultry meat quality. Therefore, the complex probiotic preparation "TIMM-P" can be recommended for use in broiler chicken farming.
Peculiarities of water exchange of Quercus robur and Acer campestre in an oak-field maple forest
Authors: Bessonova V. P. , Yakovlieva-Nosar S. O. 
Published: October 2024

We studied the physiological and biochemical parameters of water exchange of two broadleaf forest species, Quercus robur L. and Acer campestre L., which grow under different levels of water supply. The study was conducted in the lower third of the northern slope and the middle third of the southern exposure slope in the “Viyskovyi” ravine. It was established that the content of total water in the leaves of Q. robur is higher than that of A. campestre under both mesophilic and xerophilic conditions. In A. campestre, the gradual dehydration of leaves during the growing season is more pronounced. The water-holding capacity of the leaves increases in both species, especially in July and August on the southern exposure slope, which is consistent with changes in the content of hydrophilic colloids. This can be considered as an adaptation of plants against rigorous hydrothermal conditions. The leaves of A. campestre retain water better and are characterized by a greater number of hydrophilic colloids compared to the leaves of Q. robur at different levels of water supply. Under xerophilic growth conditions, the suction power of the cellular junctions of leaves is more significant than under mesophilic conditions. At both experimental sites, this indicator is always higher in case of A. campestre, while the difference is greater only under xerophilic conditions. The increase in suction force in leaf cells occurs in parallel with the increase in soil dryness. The leaves of A. campestre have a greater water deficit and suction power, better water-holding capacity due to a greater content of hydrophilic colloids, and a lower intensity of transpiration. The leaves of Q. robur have a lower water deficit and a lower water-holding capacity, which is based on the ability to resist the lack of moisture by the development of a deep root system that allows water to be absorbed from its deep horizons. The obtained data make it possible to clarify the peculiarities of the water regime of tree species during their simultaneous growth in forest phytocoenoses and adaptation to different levels of soil moisture.

Published: October 2024

The genus Scilla is represented by eight species in Armenia: S. rosenii K. Koch, S. mischtschenkoana Grossh., S. hohenackeri Fisch. & C. A. Mey., S. winogradowii Sosn., S. monanthos K. Koch, S. armena Grossh., S. siberica Haw. and S. caucasica Miscz. There is a great deal of discussion surrounding species growing in Armenia. The scientific literature presents conflicting views on the independence of the species Scilla siberica, S. armena, S. caucasica, S. monanthos and S. winogradowii. The species S. siberica, S. armena, and S. caucasica exhibit morphological similarities that have led to differing interpretations by various authors. Other similar species are S. monanthos and S. winogradowii. The occurrence of S. hohenackeri on the territory of Armenia is uncertain. Consequently, an attempt has been made to clarify the species composition of the Scilla species growing in Armenia and to compile a key for identifying these species. A morphological study of specimens of representatives of the genus Scilla growing on the territory of Armenia revealed previously unnoticed, systematically significant characteristics, such as the colouring of staminal filaments and styles, irregularity of perianth colouring, and anther size. Refinements and additions were made to the morphological descriptions of species of the genus Scilla in the flora of Armenia. Consequently, the species composition of the genus within the territory of Armenia has been considerably updated. According to the results of the obtained data, the independence of the species S. winogradowii, is not accepted, it is considered a synonym of S. monanthos. The independent status of the controversial species S. caucasica and S. armena is maintained. A new population of S. armena has been identified from Mount Aragats, which exhibits morphological and karyological differences from specimens of S. armena from other habitats. The evidence about the presence of S. hohenackeri is considered to be unsubstantiated. It confirmed that six species of the genus Scilla are present in the flora of Armenia: S. armena, S. siberica, S. caucasica, S. monanthos, S. mischtschenkoana and S. rosenii. Additionally, the variety S. siberica var. alba was also identified. A new key for species identification in the Armenian flora was compiled based on the morphological characters.

Thanks to the special state policy in Armenia, people's interest in nature has increased. People try to get acquainted with the world of plants not only in nature, but also in botanical gardens. It is very important to include rare and beautiful species of local flora in botanical gardens․ This process sometimes requires acclimatization of the targeted species, for example in case of Corylus colurna L. and Taxus baccata L. Our study highlights for the first time the results of an eco-physiological study (water content, intensity of transpiration and photosynthetic productivity) of two rare woody plant species C. colurna and T. baccata, growing in the wild in Armenia. We investigated the patterns of physiological behavior of the plants under different climatic conditions. Being highly valuable ornamental and rare species, ex situ conservation tools are applied to them in the appropriate structures of the country, among them the mesophyll forest, lower forest and semidesert zones. Obviously, we can conclude that for all indicators our most arid conditions are in the semidesert zone, at the same time often the conditions of the mesophyll forest zone are more favorable than those of the natural localities. The results of this research also show that acclimatization can help these species to be successfully preserved even in places where they grow very poorly under natural conditions or even disappear. According to the results of the studies carried out, it can be concluded that the two studied species at present can be grown in the semidesert zone as well.

Herbs play an important role in folk medicine, and scientific research has confirmed the properties of their use as an alternative treatment, including the treatment and mild correction of metabolic disorders during disease. Trifid bur-marigold (Bidens tripartita) is a pharmacopoeial herbal raw material that is widely used in clinical practice as an external remedy for skin lesions and as an internal remedy for digestive and respiratory disorders. In this work, the general effect of dried leaves of B. tripartita on physiological activity and metabolic processes in model animals on a high-calorie diet was determined. For the experiment, three groups of 18 male white laboratory rats were formed and fed a hypercaloric diet (increased fat content and 20% fructose solution instead of water) for 27 days, in addition to 0.4% and 4.0% dried leaves of B. tripartita. The consumption of 0.4% and 4.0% of the medicinal plant resulted in a significant delay in the body weight gain and the average daily weight gain of the rats compared to the control group. Dried leaves of B. tripartita in the diet of rats decreased the relative weight of the thymus and increased the relative weight of the brain, and at a dose of 4.0%, increased the relative weight of the lungs and individual large intestines (cecum and colon). Dietary supplementation with B. tripartita caused an increase in globulin concentration and changes in protein coefﬁcient. Blood parameters such as: urea, urea nitrogen, inorganic phosphorus, glucose and bilirubin levels changed depending on the dose. In the general blood test, consumption of dried leaves of B. tripartita caused a decrease in hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration and platelet count, but increased the number of eosinophils. Bidens tripartita at both concentrations significantly increased ALT activity with a corresponding change in the blood De Ritis ratio. The addition of 20 g of B. tripartita leaves to the diet increased alkaline phosphatase activity and decreased alpha-amylase activity, while 200 g increased blood gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. At the end of the experiment, the rats' orientation activity, determined in the open field, changed according to the herb dose consumed: 0.4% leaves caused an increase and 4.0% a decrease. Physical activity was reduced and emotional state increased, regardless of the dose of dried B. tripartita leaves, compared to the control group of animals. The results obtained show that the addition of B. tripartita dried leaves as a dietary supplement to a high-calorie diet is safe, does not cause pathological changes or side effects, and has a significant effect on metabolic processes. This provides theoretical support for the use of B. tripartita dried leaves in the manufacture of nutraceutical and pharmacological products for the correction of metabolic disorders in humans and animals. The doses and duration of their application require further studies.
Silent Questions: (Not) Talking about Dying in the Pearl River Delta
Authors: Menzfeld Mira 
Published: October 2024

This Field Notes contribution describes the difficulty of confronting the topic of dying in conversations with terminally ill persons in the Pearl River Delta region in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and how the ethnographer responded to this difficulty in a way she did not expect. While there is probably no ideal conversation starter for this subject anywhere in the world, bringing up the topic of approaching death is particularly challenging in China. First, it is considered impolite and harmful to communicate to a person directly that she is dying. Second, a terminal diagnosis is not necessarily received as though fatality is an inevitable consequence. After more than a few instances of feeling awkward and unequipped to talk to terminally ill persons during fieldwork, the author came to a realisation: encouraging those who are dying to communicate their experience of dying is not about finding a suitable opening line; rather, it is about silent presence, which may be the best invitation to speak.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition where there is a buildup of fluid under the retina, specifically at the macula, causing neurosensory retinal detachment. This condition affected by many factors, one of them was psychological stress and male gender. CSC is a self-limiting disease, but in acute, chronic, and recurrent CSC in functionally monocular patient also could be considered as giving treatment. We presented a case of a 44 years old functionally monocular patient treated successfully with Endpoint management (EpM) Laser. After EpM laser was done, the subretinal fluid absorbed resolved, no darker spot straight ahead, and central foveal thickness in right eye was decreasing on the 14th day post operative. Treatment of CSC with visual loss is successful and efficient with EpM laser. Without harming retinal pigment epithelium, it accelerates sub-retinal fluid absorption and enhances visual rehabilitation.
