description: The composition of essential oils from leaves of Kazakhstan medicinal plants was analysed by GC-MS. The major compounds identified were 1,8-cineole (34.2%), myrcene (19.1%) and α-pinene (9.4%) in Ajania fruticulosa; 1,8-cineole (21.0%), β-thujone (11.0%), camphor (8.5%), borneol (7.3%) and α-thujone (6.5%), in Achillea nobilis; camphor (47.3%), 1,8-cineole (23.9%), camphene (9.8%) and β-thujone (6.0%) in Artemisia terrae-albae; 1,8-cineole(55.8%) and β-pinene (6.2%) in Hyssopus ambiguus; α-thuyene(46.3%) and δ-cadinene(6.3%) in Juniperus sibirica; sabinene (64%) in Juniperus sabina; and α-pinene (51.5%), β-phellandrene (11.2%) and δ-cadinene (6.3%) in Pinus sibirica. The essential oils did not show antifungal effect (MIC > 1.20 mg/mL) on Aspergillus carbonarius and Aspergillus niger, while the oils from A. nobilis, A. terrae-albae, H. ambiguus and J. sabina exhibited moderate and moderate to weak antimicrobial activities on Fusarium verticillioides (MIC = 0.60 mg/mL) and Fusarium graminearum (MIC = 0.60–1.20 mg/mL), respectively. A principal component analysis associated the antifungal activity (r2 > 0.80, p = 0.05) with the presence of borneol, camphor, camphene, 1,8-cineole,α- and β-thujone, and of the oxygenated monoterpenes.

description: In order to investigate the effect of palm leaf biochar on some characteristics of Cucumis melo L. under drought stress, a split plot experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with three replications for two consecutive years. The main plot was irrigation level (60, 85, and 100% water requirement) and subplot was biochar in four levels (0, 0.18, 0.24, and 0.36 kg/m2). Results showed that treatment of 0.24 kg/m2 biochar and 100% water requirement increased the characteristics of water use efficiency as 88%, shoot fresh weight as 77%, shoot dry weight as 32%, root fresh weight as 100%, root dry weight as 84%, root length as 54%, and average fruit weight 84% compared to treatment without biochar and 60% water requirement. The highest level of leaf N, Mn and K, shoot length, leaf area, leaf number, fruit diameter and fruit flesh thickness in the treatment of 0.36 kg/m2 biochar and 100% water requirement were higher 58%, 48%, 65%, 18%, 50%, 95%, 43% and 55%, than to of treatment without biochar and 60% water requirement respectively and had no significant difference with the treatment of 0.24 kg/m2 biochar and 85% water requirement. The highest rates of Fe, Zn and Cu were related to 0.36 kg/m2 biochar and 60% water requirement as 60, 44 and 66% respectively compared to treatment without biochar and 100% water requirement. The biochar-free treatment with 60% water requirement accounted for the highest amount of proline due to high stress, and the proline content reduced with increasing biochar and decreasing stress in treatments. Generally, the treatments of 0.24 and 0.36 kg/m2 of biochar increased most of the characteristics, however no significant difference was observed between these treatments. Moreover, in 85% water requirement the drought stress conditions could compensate with the application of biochar. Thus, using 0.24 kg/m2 of biochar and 85% of water requirement, recommended for the best result.

description: Several laboratory studies have shown the ability of bioretention systems to remove pollutants from stormwater. However, to our knowledge, no existing research has addressed the use of ornamental shrubs for improving water quality in bioretention systems in Italian cities. In this short note, we evaluated the potential of three ornamental shrub species (Lonicera pileata Oliver, Cotoneaster horizontalis Decne., Hypericum hidcoteense ‘Hidcote’) for the removal of heavy metals in a stormwater bioretention system. Pot experiments in “pot prototypes” using an alternative bioretention system filter media have been carried out under controlled conditions. The ornamental shrubs were irrigated with semisynthetic stormwater with known heavy-metal concentrations. Experimental results indicate that the removal of heavy metals by the system is very efficient. However, there was not a significant effect of the plant on the system’s retention efficiency. The removal of lead and cadmium by the system was over 87%. In order to provide accurate information for bioretention design, future research should comparatively assess plant species in a laboratory-scale filter column and in situ.

description: Imbalance uptake of boron disturbs the process of pollination that eventually decrease the flowering, fruit setting and yield. Its deficiency also deteriorates the quality of fruit by increasing fruit acidity. Therefore, source, balanced application, method of application and optimum uptake of B is an important aspect and need keen scientific attention. So, a field study was conducted with the hypothesis that foliar application of B would be an effective technique to improve the yield and quality of Mango cv. Summer Bahisht (SB) Chaunsa. The source of B was boric acid (BA) applied twice as foliar spray i.e., 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%. Results confirmed that as compared to control, a significant improvement in fruit weight at ripening and harvesting stages (36.9%), fruit length (21.9%), fruit width (10.1%), flower (22.1%) and fruit terminals m-2 (40.0%) confirmed the effectiveness of T4 (BA= 0.3%). A significant improvement in average yield (78.6%) validated the efficacious functioning of boric acid (0.3%). In conclusion, boric acid is an important and effective source of B to improve the quality and yield of Mango cv. SB Chaunsa. Similarly, BA (0.3%) is a better option than 0.2 and 0.1% BA to improve the quality and yield of mango.

OBSERVATIONS Tapeinosperma rubidum se reconnaît à ses limbes lancéolés, progressivement atténués vers le sommet obtus, vers la base en angle aigu, la partie la plus large se situant à mi-longueur et, généralement, sur le sec d’un brun-rouge assez vif à la face inférieure (où les points rouges, mentionnés par Mez dans sa diagnose, ne se distinguent pas toujours très nettement). Les inflorescences, beaucoup plus courtes que les feuilles, sont assez condensées, deux fois ramifiées (souvent – au moins en apparence – plusieurs axes), à tomentum ras de teinte assez claire. Il diffère nettement de T. lenormandii Hook.f. par ses fleurs sessiles ou subsessiles (pédicelle long au plus de 1 mm). Les fruits, noirs à maturité, sont globuleux, un peu comprimés, avec un diamètre de 7-8 mm. La survie de l’espèce, dont l’aire de répartition assez vaste s’étend à des secteurs en partie protégés, et sans intérêt minier ni agricole, ne semble pas actuellement menacée.

description: For increased production of fresh market tomato fruits, identification of cultivars that combine upright growth habit (UGH) and increased fruit weight under increased fertilizer rates is essential. Six tomato cultivars comprising five improved types namely Tropimech, Buffalo, Roma VF, Roma Savana, UC 82 and a local cultivar Kerewa were evaluated to identify cultivars that combined average fruit weight with UGH under different rates of NPK 15:15:15 fertilizer (0, 30, 50, and 80 kg ha-1). Aerial and basal stem diameter (ASD and BSD), and weight per fruit (WPF) cumulatively accounted for the largest significant variation (47.17 **) in growth habit of the tomato cultivars with ASD being the most determinant of all. Increased fertilizer rates resulted in increased morphological and yield parameters but promoted prostrate growth habit in tomato cultivars. At 30 kg ha-1, Roma VF and Roma Savanna combined UGH with ample yield per plant while at 50 and 80 kg ha-1 of fertilizer, UC 82 consistently maintained the most UGH with higher yield. Growing UC 82 at 50 kg ha-1 of fertilizer is recommended for better UGH and higher yield. Consideration should be given to ASD, BSD, and WPF in future improvements of tomato for UGH and yield.

description: Many orchid species are threatened. In this study, a reliable and efficient protocol was outlined for in vitro propagation of Catasetum pileatum cv. Alba, a near threatened orchid species with the proper usage of plant growth regulators (PGRs). Protocorms as explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different concentrations of kinetin (Kn; 0.00, 0.20, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, 3.00 and 5.00 mg l-1) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA; 0.00, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50 and 1.00 mg l-1), either individually or in combination. The frequency of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) regeneration significantly relied on concentrations of PGRs used. A combination of 1.00 mg l-1 Kn and 1.00 mg l-1 IBA was found to be suitable for maximum PLB regeneration (8.63 per explant) and the largest number of leaf (12.70 per explant). The highest rooting frequency with 7.40 roots per explant was achieved on protocorms grown in medium enriched with 1.00 mg l-1 Kn and 0.50 mg l-1 IBA. Plantlets were transplanted to pots filled with a mixture of peat moss, leca and perlite (1:1:1) and transferred to the greenhouse. The plantlets were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse with a survival rate of 80% exhibiting normal developmental patterns.

description: Phalaenopsis is one of the most popular orchids in the world, through the development of many artificial hybrids. In this research, a reliable and efficient protocol is presented for in vitro proliferation of Phalaenopsis amabilis Blume cv. Grandiflora. Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different concentrations of kinetin (Kn; 0.00, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 and 3.00 mg l-1) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA; 0.00, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50 and 1.00 mg l-1), either individually or in combination and activated charcoal (AC; 0.00, 0.50 and 1.00 g l-1). A combination of 0.20 mg l-1 IBA and 2.00 mg l-1 Kn on medium containing 1.00 g l-1 AC was found to be suitable for maximum leaf number (6.16±0.503 per explant). The highest rooting frequency with 7.13±0.153 roots per explant was achieved on medium enriched with 0.50 mg l-1 IBA and 0.50 mg l-1 Kn on medium containing 1.00 g l-1 AC. The largest number of callus (9.10±0.611) was induced on explants cultured in medium containing 0.20 mg l-1 IBA and 0.50 mg l-1 Kn on medium without AC. The plantlets were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse with a survival rate of 95% exhibiting normal developmental patterns.

description: Structural analysis of marble statues, carried out by non-invasive and in situ methods, is crucial to define the state of conservation of the artworks and to identify the deterioration phenomena that can affect them. In this work, we combined in situ non-destructive techniques, ultrasonic tomography (US), ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UV-IF) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to study the bass-relief ‘Madonna con Bambino’ (Gorizia, Italy). The US revealed the presence of some metallic pivots, associated with areas of high sound velocity; moreover, a more degraded area has been identified in the lower part of the bass-relief. The acquired UV-IF image confirmed the presence of surface degradation, allowing a preliminary evaluation of the extension of a fracture, from surface to bulk. In addition, the different materials (both original and/or integrations) that compose the studied surface have been identified. The XRF has contributed to define the nature of the inorganic materials applied during undocumented previous restoration works on the surface as filler for lacunae.

description: Amino acids have diverse roles in plant metabolism, and recently amino acid based fertilizers have been used largely in crop production systems. Despite most of these new fertilizers are formulated for foliar application; however, morphophysiological responses of crops to amino acids application have not yet been well documented. In the present study, foliar application of glycine or glutamine in different concentrations of 0 (distilled water), 250, 500, 1000 mg·L-1, as well as a treatment of 250 mg·L-1 glycine + 250 mg·L-1 glutamine were evaluated on growth of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) plants. The results showed that foliar application of glycine or glutamine at 1000 mg·L-1 showed no improvement in comparison with control for all traits except for leaf L-ascorbic acid concentration that showed the highest value under these amino acids treatments. However, foliar application of these amino acids at 250 and particularly 500 mg·L-1 showed promising effect on sweet basil growth. Plant shoot fresh and dry weight, leaf area, leaf SPAD value, and leaf chlorophyll content were improved by foliar application of 500 mg·L-1 glycine or glutamine in comparison with control plants. Foliar application of amino acids increased leaf nitrogen (glutamine 250 and 500 mg·L-1), potassium (glycine 250 mg·L-1), magnesium (glutamine 250 or 500 mg·L-1, glycine 250 mg·L-1, glycine + glutamine; 250 + 250 mg·L-1), iron (glycine and glutamine at 500 mg·L-1 and glutamine at 250 mg·L-1), and zinc (glycine and glutamine at 250 or 500 mg·L-1), whereas the increase in leaf nutrients caused by other treatments was not significantly different from control plants. Leaf calcium concentration was not changed by amino acid treatments. The results indicate that foliar application of moderate to low concentrations of glutamine or glycine can improve sweet basil growth.

description: Objectives: To evaluate the safety and effect on survival of insertion of a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) who have upright forced vital capacity (uFVC) ≤ 50% predicted. Current guidelines, which are based on higher rates of post-procedure complications in ALS patients with advanced respiratory dysfunction, have led to a recommendation to perform G-tube insertion before the FVC drops to <50% predicted, even when the patient has no significant dysphagia. Methods: We assessed 41 ALS patients who received a G-tube, mostly by insertion of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube by a dedicated team that included a gastroenterologist and one of two anesthesiologists using Monitored Anesthesia Care with deep sedation, and 61 patients who did not receive a G-tube. uFVC was ≤50% predicted in 12 of 41 patients who received a G-tube and in 18 of 61 who did not. Results: The procedure was safe regardless of FVC status, with low rates of post-operative complications in both low and high FVC groups. There was no survival benefit for patients who received a G-tube when compared with those who did not. Discussion: PEG insertion is safe in ALS patients with significant respiratory muscle weakness when performed by a dedicated team, which suggests that the recommendation for G-tube placement should not be based on the patient’s respiratory status.

description: Fritillaria imperialis L. (Liliaceae) is a rare and endangered ornamental plant grown in mountain regions and Zagros altitudes, Ilam province, Iran. This species is in danger of extinction due to invasive collection. Plant regeneration was done by organogenesis from bulb scales as explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media fortified with different concentrations of kinetin (KIN, 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mg l-1) and α_naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA, 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mg l-1), either individually or in combination. The largest number of leaf (3.80), root (5.86) and callus (8.16) per explant was regenerated on the medium containing 0.50 mg l-1 KIN and 1.00 mg l-1 NAA. Maximum viability percentage (96.66%) was obtained in medium supplemented with 1.00 mg l-1 KIN. In vitro regenerated plantlets were cultivated in plastic pots containing peat moss and perlite (1:1). The plantlets were successfully acclimatized in an adaptation greenhouse with a survival rate of 95% exhibiting normal developmental patterns.

description: To evaluate the effect of partial root zone drying in combination with compost tea on growth, morpho-physiological traits, yield and quality attributes of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill), a greenhouse experiment was conducted. The ultimate aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of partial root zone drying (PRD) and conventional drip irrigation (CDI) incorporated with compost tea (CT) on tomato productivity and quality. The results of this study indicated positive and significant effect of CT in combination with PRD on fruit size, fruit weight, fruit firmness, cluster per plant, fruit per cluster, fruit lycopene content, pH, TSS and TSS/TA. The PRD treated plant’s fruits exhibited better appearance, higher lycopene content, fruit firmness, total soluble solid (TSS), and TSS/titratable acidity (TA) ratio than fruits plants treated with CDI (conventional drip irrigation). Combined treatment with CDI and CT had positive effect on plant height, leaf area, chlorophyll and water content in fruits. But they exhibited the negative effect on fruits blossom end rot, weight loss, chilling injury, and TA content. The results of this study indicated that CT improve more significantly tomato yield and quality under PRD than CDI. Combining PRD and CT led to the maximization of crop water productivity.

description: Evolutionary theory predicts that humans should adjust their life-history strategies in response to local ecological threats and opportunities in order to maximize their reproductive success. Cues representing threats to individuals' lives and health in modern, Western societies may come in the form of local ages at death, morbidity rate and crime rate in their local area, whereas the adult sex ratio represents a measure of the competition for reproductive partners. These characteristics are believed to have a strong influence over a wide range of behaviours, but whether they are accurately perceived has not been robustly tested. Here, we investigate whether perceptions of four neighbourhood characteristics are accurate across eight neighbourhoods in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We find that median age at death and morbidity rates are accurately perceived, whereas adult sex ratios and crime rates are not. We suggest that both neighbourhood characteristics and personal experiences contribute to the formation of perceptions. This should be considered by researchers looking for associations between area-level factors.

TYPUS. — Nouvelle-Calédonie, mont Kaala, vers 600 m, en ravin boisé, sur terrain ultramafique, fl., 6.XII.2005, Munzinger et al. 3316 (holo-, P!; iso-, NOU) (unicum specimen cognitum). OBSERVATIONS Tapeinosperma kaalaense sp. nov., par la forme de ses limbes et par ses inflorescences, paraît très proche de T. robustum – ses fruits cependant nous étant inconnus –, et les deux espèces sont également liées aux terrains ultramafiques. Il en diffère principalement par ses feuilles sessiles ou presque, alors que chez T. robustum le pétiole est toujours bien dégagé, et souvent long de plusieurs cm. À la différence de ce que nous avons pu observer chez T. robustum, les inflorescences semblent portées généralement par des rameaux distincts des rameaux végétatifs. Ces rameaux inflorescentiels, nus sur la majeure partie de leur longueur, avec une couronne sommitale de feuilles réduites, apparaissent cependant moins significativement spécialisés que chez les espèces où ils portent des cataphylles de forme particulière et distribuées de manière plus ou moins espacée (T. amplexicaule, T. gracile, etc.) Une seule fois récolté sur le massif de Kaala, dont la couverture végétale a été profondément dégradée par l’exploitation minière, T. kaalaense sp. nov. pourrait être très menacé.

description: Argania spinosa (L.) is an endemic tree species of south-western Morocco; it plays a very important socio-economic and environmental role. However, the vegetative propagation of the argan tree by traditional cuttings is limited by the difficulty of rooting and survival during transplantation in the field. Considering these facts, this study intended to investigate the rooting ability and growth performance of argan tree cuttings, collected from four élite trees rated ASOC1, ASOC2, ASOC3 and ASOC4, and treated with four concentrations (0, 1000, 3000 and 5000 mgL-1) of IBA, NAA and IAA. The results revealed cuttings of ASOC2 and ASOC3 genotypes were relatively less responsive than ASOC1 and ASOC4, this genotype effect was more pronounced in auxin treated cuttings. Treatment of cuttings by IBA was more effective than treatments by either NAA or IAA. Among all the media tested, 3000 mgL-1 of IBA with ASOC1 resulted in higher sprouting (81.75%), rooting (60.75%) and survival rates (96.25%). However, with the increase of IBA concentration levels (>3000 mgL-1), adventitious roots and sprouts performances decreased in all the genotypes. Argania spinosa could be successfully propagated by cuttings from selected élite trees.

description: Evolutionary theory predicts that humans should adjust their life-history strategies in response to local ecological threats and opportunities in order to maximize their reproductive success. Cues representing threats to individuals' lives and health in modern, Western societies may come in the form of local ages at death, morbidity rate and crime rate in their local area, whereas the adult sex ratio represents a measure of the competition for reproductive partners. These characteristics are believed to have a strong influence over a wide range of behaviours, but whether they are accurately perceived has not been robustly tested. Here, we investigate whether perceptions of four neighbourhood characteristics are accurate across eight neighbourhoods in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We find that median age at death and morbidity rates are accurately perceived, whereas adult sex ratios and crime rates are not. We suggest that both neighbourhood characteristics and personal experiences contribute to the formation of perceptions. This should be considered by researchers looking for associations between area-level factors.

description: Pollination is crucial for producing marketable kiwifruit, and increasing revenue of growers. The objectives of this research were to determine the effective pollination period (EPP) of ‘Hayward’ (A. deliciosa A. Chev. C.F. Liang & A.R. Ferguson) and to determine fruit characteristics in relation to the time of pollination. Hayward kiwifruit showed no significant decrement of fruit set and fruit weight within the 4-day and 2-day period, respectively, however, the mean weight of fruit was ≥ 85 g within 4-day. Fruit set was 100% when pollination was carried out during the first 3 days following anthesis. Fruit set decreased to 20.71% when flowers were pollinated 5 days after anthesis and were practically nil by 6 days after anthesis. Fruit weight and size were the highest on days 1-2 after anthesis and reduced for flowers pollinated 3-4 days after anthesis. The lowest fruit weight and seed weight and number were observed when pollination was done on day 5. Hayward kiwifruit showed no significant drop in fruit set within the 4-day period, and thus, appears to have an EPP equal 4 days after anthesis. Thus, efforts for producing good quality and of marketable size fruit should be concentrated within the first 4 days after anthesis.

description: The Italian research on P. granatum L. is still limited, although the study of local germplasm is extremely important in order to preserve the existing biodiversity and to identify potential useful characters for a renewed industry. The study aimed at characterizing for the first time ancient pomegranates, grown in Emilia Romagna (Italy), through 38 quantitative morphometric descriptors related to leaf, flower, fruit and seed, 42 RAPD and 12 SSR markers. Morphological analyses showed large variation of traits among accessions and the descriptors related to fruit and seed had the highest power of discrimination. The considerable variation found was consistent with ANOVA and PCA results. Among all RAPDs tested, 7 were selected for their polymorphism; whereas among selected SSRs, 8 presented differences in the genetic profiles allowing a good discrimination of the local pomegranate accessions. The genetic relationships among pomegranates were studied by UPGMA cluster analysis and the accessions were clearly regrouped in four different genotypes. The study has highlighted significant differences and interesting pomological characteristics in the local pomegranates, which confirmed the good potential of this germplasm for the pomegranate industry.

description: The objective of this study was to estimate and evaluate the economic indicators of lettuce production, cultivated using different soil cover and plant spacing. The experiment was conducted in subdivided parcels, with four replications. The treatments were composed by a combination of three soil cover (uncovered soil, straw and plastic cover) and three planting spaces (0.25 x 0.20, 0.25x0.25 and 0.25x0.30 m). The productivity and economic indicators were evaluated for a production area of 1000 m2. For the different treatments, a total operating cost of USD 781.80 to USD 663.30 1000 m-2 was obtained. It was observed that for the cultivation of lettuce in soil covered by straw, from the rubbing, and spacing of 0.25x0.25 m the economic indicators were raised. With a productivity of 687.70 boxes 1000 m-2, for this treatment was obtained gross revenue of USD 1,828.99, operating profit of USD 1,135.41 and a profitability index of 62.08%. Thus, lettuce cultivation provides positive profitability regardless of the spacing or type of cover used and the combination between the 0.25 x 0.25 m planting spacing and the use of straw as a soil cover culminates in higher monetary gains.

OBSERVATIONS Le massif ultrabasique du Tchingou est situé très à l’écart et, si la variété type de T. tchingouense sp. nov. a été récoltée, un peu au-dessous du sommet, par tous les botanistes – peu nombreux – qui en ont fait l’ascension, c’est sans doute qu’elle s’y trouve abondamment. Étant donné cependant son aire de répartition très restreinte, sur des terrains ultramafiques susceptibles d’attirer l’attention des mineurs, on doit la considérer comme vulnérable.

description: Tapeinosperma tchingouense M.Schmid var. longipetiolatum M.Schmid, var. nov. A varietate tchingouensi, laminis tenuoribus, petiolis plerumque elongatioribus, et pro ratione tenuibus, praecipue differt. TYPUS. — Nouvelle-Calédonie, région de Tindo (vallée de la Ouango), arbuste (2 m), fr. noir, 15.VIII.2006, Munzinger 3527 (holo-, P!). AUTRE MATÉRIEL EXAMINÉ. — Nouvelle-Calédonie, col d’Amieu, arbuste (2,5 m), fr., 2.III.2007, Munzinger 4282 [rattaché avec doute]. OBSERVATIONS La variété longipetiolatum var.nov. ne nous est connue que par deux échantillons dépourvus de fleurs, mais remarquables par la longueur des pétioles, la forme des limbes différant sensiblement de l’un à l’autre (plus allongée dans la récolte de Tindo), ainsi que du limbe de la variété type, à vrai dire assez variable, toutefois toujours beaucoup plus coriace. Les deux récoltes proviennent de stations très distantes l’une de l’autre, mais toutes deux sur terrains schisto-gréseux et à altitude moins élevée que pour la var. tchingouense. L’examen d’échantillons plus complets mènerait peutêtre à modifier la nomenclature proposée. Cette variété longipetiolatum var. nov., de statut assez incertain, paraissant rare, tout en croissant dans des zones aujourd’hui faiblement menacées, peut être considérée comme vulnérable.
