The spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) productivity prognosis by character of growth process intensity. pp. 21--29

Summary: In different soil and climate conditions were revealed dependence between accumulated biomass on the stage of 5 leaves (full tillering) and final seed productivity of spring barley. This dependence is described by linear equalization. The last allows to prognose the productivity of spring barley at the early stage of vegetation with high accuracy and correct the complex of agrotechnical methods to achieve the maximal productivity.

The phytohormon control of Ca+2 concentration in plant cell protoplasts. pp. 58--62

Summary: The effect of indole-3-acetic acid, 1-naphtylacetic acid, gibberellic acid, abscisic acid, 24-epibrassinolide on the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in protoplasts of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia in Ca2+-deficient and Ca2+-conteined media was tested. It was observed that these phytohormons were able to increase [Ca2+]cyt up to 328 nM. The effect of auxins and epibrassinolide on [Ca2+]cyt was suppressed by verapamil. These data suggest that Ca2+cyt is a member of phytohormons transduction chain.

Shalygo N.V.
Accumulation of Í2Î2 in greening barley leaves (Hordeum vulgaris L.) under condition of porphyrinogenesis induced by Cs+ cations. pp. 63--67

Summary: Accumulation of H2O2, change of the catalase (Cat) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity in greening barley leaves containing uroporphyrinogen III (UROgen), uroporphyrin III (URO) and the inactive protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) have been investigated. The Cs+ cations were used as inducers of porphyrinogenesis. It was demonstrated that the H2O2 amount and the Cat activity in leaves accumulating UROgen did not change and the APX activity increased in comparition with the control. The H2O2 pool increased in leaves accumulating URO and Pchlide. Stimulation of only the APX activity was observed at these conditions. Cat was more sensitive to photodynamic effect (PDE) induced by URO and Pchlide. So, its activity decreased after beginning of PDE after that the APX activity begin to decrease as PDE enhanced. The correlation between the enzyme activity and reducing of the Cat and APX protein amounts in immunobloting was shown. Peculiarities of H2O2 accumulation, change the Cat and APX activity by inducing of Cs+ porphyrinogenesis are discussed.

Summary: Heavy metals sorption ability of tinder fungus Phellinus robustus has been studied. Sorption capacity of the pigmented mycelium or the pure fungal melanin was higher than one of the light biomass. IR spectra comparative analysis of the melanin and the melanin-copper complex showed that copper ions were bonded with carboxylic groups. The order of binding affinity of the pigmented fungal biomass for heavy metals was: Fe2+ > Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cr3+ > Ni2+.

Functional response of white rats isolated heart to the stimulation of andrenergic receptors affer the g-irradiation in low doses. pp. 86--89

Summary: The study of heart isolated by Langendorf's method has shown that the acute g-irradiation of rats in 1.0 Gy dose (9 • 10-4 Gy/s) causes the decrease of contraction ability and relaxation of myocardium as well as of the functional response of heart to the stimulation of a- and b-adrenergic receptors.

Mazhul L.M., Volykhina V.E., Bagel I.M., Gatsko G.G.
The lipid peroxidation system in the blood of the experimental rats under external and incorporated irradiation. pp. 90--92

Summary: The state of lipid peroxidation in the blood of 6--7 month old male rats inder the combined ray action (chronic g-irradiation at the dose of 1 Gy and the incorporation of 137Cs at the doses of 160 and 320 kBq) was studied. It was shown that the large dose of incorporated 137Cs in early terms renders the stimulating influence on the antioxidant system of organism, possibly, promoting thus the support of the invariable level of lipid peroxidation products.

Petushok N.E., Lashak L.K., Trebukhina R.V.
The effects of the 3-fold g-irradiation on the glutathion system of blood, brain and liver of white rats. pp. 93--95

Summary: The effects of the 3-fold g-irradiation (total dose 0.75 Gy) on the glutathione system at different periods after exposure in the blood, brain and liver of rats were studied. The phase changes were found. The most pronounced they were in the blood. Activation of the system take plase at early terms (I hour) after irradiation, then it was exhausted. In the brain and liver the system was more stable.

Emel'yanova A.A., Zhukova N.D.
The participation of andrenergic and serotoninergic substances in condition of gastric mucosa ulcer formation of white rats. pp. 96--99

Summary: Changes in the fine structure of neurons and their processes of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve and structural alterations of adrenergic terminals and serotonin-containing cells of the gastric mucosa of rats in conditions of experimental ulcer genesis were found. Possible mechanisms underlying these changes are discussed.

Borisov O.L.
Reflex responses of sympathetic efferent fibers of somatic and visceral nerves of white rats. pp. 100--103

Summary: Responses of n. saphenus and superior mesenteric nerves of the ileum, induced by electrical stimulation of ileocecal nerves, were studied in order to reveal the patterns of both reflex responses. Comparative analysis of the responses to impulses from mesenteric C-afferent showed that the responses in n. saphenus had a longer latency (480 ± 3) and much a shorter duration (190 ± 3). Tetanic stimulation induced complete arrest of tonic discharge in cutaneous nerve fibres and vigorous efferent activity in mesenteric nerves. The study indicates considerable differences in the mechanisms of centra] switching of excitation of visceral afferent fibres to sympathetic efferent neurons which control the activity of abdominal organs and skin blood flow.

Summary: Effects of LPS E. coli on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense ensymes state in liver and thymus after previous induction of cytochrome P450-dependent monooxyganase system by phenobarbital (PB) was investigated. Possibly, PB as well as previous induction of drug metabolizing enzymes system increases cross-resistance to damaging environmental factors.
