Artificial reduction of photoperiod among di-and-tetroploid stevia varieties (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) to 12 hours in the second part of the II stage organogenesis fastens the transfer to III stage organogenesis and induces blossoming for 30-32 days earlier than at natural photoperiod. This provides stable seed productivity under field tests. Blossoming features providing crossbreeding are discussed
This article includes the value of forage and species composition of legume forage plants of summer pastures in Nakhchivan region. We have found that the forest, subalpine and alpine meadows and covers are regularly arranged in the vertical zone. We have also learned the species content. Flora of summer pasture forage plants rich in resources which have 1588
species (56% of the flora of Nakhchivan region)
The phenomenon of fasciation on the example of a higher plant called “Taraxacum officinale Wigg” has been considered. The effect of fasciation on the various particularities of plants has been shown. There are numerous examples of the different fasciation types of present plant’s type which are growing in different ecological areas. We have demonstrated that the phenomenon of fasciation exists in natural populations and in areas with development pressures, and it may occur after mechanical damage to plants of Taraxacum officinale. In most cases, fasciation is regarded as an exceptional phenomenon. A number of authors have distinguished fasciation to non-inheritable and inheritable. The first is the influence of external factors such as insect damage, injury, weather conditions. The second is caused by internal reasons. The number of regularities was installed that the reproductive bodies of plants are more often fascinated, and thermophilic forms are more likely to have fasciation. Photographic images of various types of fasciation, patterns and diagrams are given. Fasciation can be considered as a marker because of the connection of this phenomenon with the violation of the ecological situation. Plants with morphoses including ones with fasciation of individual organs, can act as indicators of pollution of the natural environment. Thus, the phenomenon of fasciation affects many areas of science, such as ecology, morphogenesis, genetic monitoring. The possibility of studying the phenomenon of fasciation on a model object of dandelion is shown. As a methodical approach to the study of this phenomenon, it is proposed to create a database of images, in this way it would be cataloging the image
Rendzina soils are very widespread in the Caucasus. Because of their ecological and genetic characteristics Rendzina has significant buffering capacity to chemical pollution. The object of investigation was calcareous leached soil. Location selection - Azishskaya ridge on the border of the Republic of Adygea and the Krasnodar region. As pollutants, we have selected Zn, Cd, Mo, Se, since soil contamination with these elements in the south of Russia is not uncommon. Contamination of zinc, cadmium, molybdenum and selenium causes deterioration in the biological properties of calcareous soils of the Western Caucasus. We have investigated the toxicity of the elements formed following series due to their influence on Rendzina soils: Zn> Se> Cd> = Mo. The study attempted to analyze the entire range of concentrations of the examined elements in the soil, currently occurring in nature. In most cases, all the investigated substances registered direct correlation between the concentration of the pollutant in the soil and the degree of reduction of biological indicators. The activity of catalase and dehydrogenase cellulolytic ability, plenty of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter, length of roots of radish can be used to monitor, diagnose and regulation of chemical pollution of soil Zn, Cd, Mo, Se
The article investigates the level of heavy metal con-tamination of soils of different functional zones in Rostov-on-Don: parklands, crossroads and industrial zone. Dependence is considered the level of soil bio-logical activity in soil from heavy metals
Agricultural use leads to a significant transformation of soils. The first to use the soil for cultivation react most sensitive biological indicators. The purpose of the study - to establish the effect of using the brown forest soils for planting apple orchards for their biological activity, in particular on the humus content, enzyme activity (catalase and dehydrogenase). For the control, we have selected forest area adjacent to arable land. Because of violations of the natural vegetation, there are changes in hydrothermal conditions of the soil. Humidity soil plowed off under forest, while temperatures gets considerably higher. Plowing, compared with the control, revealed significant loss of humus (50%) in the upper most disturbed horizons. In the lower horizons of the values of this index were quite low (1.5%) on all sections of the test. The decline in humus content, as well as overheating and draining soil tillage results in a change of enzymatic activity not only in the surface layers, but also in the whole profile. Due to the movement of the most favorable hydrothermal conditions in the underlying horizons, an increase of enzyme activity over control values in the deeper layers of the soil. The article shows a possibility of the use of biological indicators as indicators of changes in the brown forest soils as a result of agricultural use
The article presents the results of laboratory
modeling of gleyisation and its effect on the
biological properties of soils with stagnant regime in
ordinary black soils. Gleyisation is a complex
biochemical process that occurs under oxygen
reduction conditions. Anaerobic microorganisms, the
presence of organic substances, and the constant or
prolonged waterlogging of individual horizons or the
entire soil profile promote gleyisation. Model
experiments revealed that gleyisation increase the
total number of bacteria and suppresses number of
actinomycetes, micromycetes and growth of fungal
mycelium. Gleyisation decreases the activity of
oxidoreductases and increases the hydrolases
activity. In addition, the second content of humus
slightly increases and active acidity (pH) changes to
neutral. Accumulation of large amounts of iron oxide
(II) in soil is revealed
There are changes in almost all the properties of
chernozems under locally overmoistening. In
general, changes in the properties and conditions of
chernozems under the development of local wetlands
went in a particular way, regardless of the
peculiarities of soil formation factors and causes
waterlogging. The most noticeable change is the
transformation of physical properties of soil and
organic matter status. According to our research,
more quickly and clearly excessive moisture causes a
change in the physical properties of the soil. There
are changes of the structural state, bulk density and
amount of water-stable aggregates. The significant
change is the transformation of soil organic matter.
There is increasing of total humus content. In a
group composition, the fraction of humic and fulvic
acids increases the share. The humus profile is
stretched. In the majority of cases in investigated
soils was diagnosed secondary salinization. The
periodic waterlogging of the soil also contributes to
the change in the amount of soil carbonates and their
distribution in the profile. Chernozems gradually lose
calcium, the main structurant and humates maker.
Among the most studied soil of Zernogradsky region
in the cationic part of the prevailing spot goes
sodium. In addition, the narrowing ratio of calcium
to magnesium was observed. That is the hallmark of
the aqueous extract of locally overmoistening soils
