The aim of this study was to establish the possible toxicological effects chemicals released into mineral water bottled in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, preserved at room temperature and 48ºC, by Allium test.There were analyzed growth tests, as well chromosomal genomic mutations.In all experimental variants mitotic index lower than Control, mitosis process being disturbed, fact correlated with results.There observed a decrease prophase percentage an accumulation metaphase, both...

Abstract In Europe, the Romanian Middle Jiu River Valley remains a well-known coal basin in active exploitation. Near surface exploitations are found two Thermo-Electric Power Plants (TEPP) Rovinari and Turceni surrounded by toxic ash waste dumps of different ages. This paper is based on survey 223 participants conducted above mentioned TEPP highlights specific characteristics living Valley. Using 127-item questionnaire we have analyzed contextual link between mining pollution perceptions,...

The use of bioenergy are increasing in many European countries and an important role will be played by biomass produced willow SRC. Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) was developed Sweden 1970 it is cultivated for the production wood chips. In Romania there not more than 800 hectares, half them Banat area. this context assessing yield different experimental trial very important. Research have been made three SRC trials established Ghilad, Timis County, Romania. material consist Inger. All trails...

The research work and observations carried out into the frame of a SEEDNet program which has aims identification, conservation characterization Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris germplasm SE Europe have lead to identification this species 11 areals from Oltenia, is an important very old vine grape growing area situated on geographical relief unit (Podisul Getic) between Danube river, SW Carpathian Mountains Olt river. where ssp was identified are different climatic points vue. This study...

In the experiments performed in mouse (Mus musculus) radioprotective effect of Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW, with 30 ppm deuterium) and a 0.01% total extract polyphenols (from Aralia mandshurica cortex) ), applied individually or together was tested, towards sublethal dose X-rays (5.28 Gy).The animals were intraperitoneal injected (five injections 0.5 mL each, one at two days), single DDW, diluted DDW.The stress factor day after third injection.As radiobiological point ultrastructural...

Aphis nasturtii (Kaltenbach) is a cosmopolitan species who can cause direct damage to the plants by extracting sap, and indirectly it vector 16 plant viruses.The study presents data referring external morphological characteristics, biometrical measurements life cycle of nasturtii.The researches have been carried out for period four years on potato two orchards from Romania.At smallest length body found aphids captured in Romania was 1.10 mm, while biggest 2.40 mm.In conditions Western part...

The values of some morpho-anatomical features (the size and shape the epidermic cells leaves, as well stomata) recorded in fossil vegetal species their actual correspondent were analysed. These differences offer information about evolution process. In case analysed (Ginkgo sp., Taxus Magnolia sp. Buxus sempervirens), two hypotheses concerning genetic mechanisms involved speciation processes or adaptation to environmental conditions can be considered. are: multiplication genomes process gene...

Salix is an important energetic genus, but  most of the genotypes are closely related genetically, due to frequent natural hybridisation in nature. Therefore it great interest study its genetic background. In this work a collection progenitors (Romanian accessions) collected from different locations were investigated determine their fingerprint order be used future breeding programs. To evaluate diversity two types molecular markers used, namely ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) and DAMD...

Drosera rotundifolia explants were inoculated on culture media supplemented with either single ferrofluids different Fe 2+ / 3+ , ratios or complex ferrofluids. Development took place at natural double geomagnetic field values. The effect of medium supplementation and values organogenesis plant growth rhythm is discussed.

Introduced in 1750 as an ornamental tree and then 1852 a forest species, black locust occupied nowadays 250,000 ha Romania. The species is important for its wood (lumber, poles, firewood, etc.), honey-related production well environmental role (afforestation of sand dunes sterile dumps). One the most activities middle basin Jiu River coal mining. After 1956 this activity has developed very quickly two power plants were built Rovinari Turceni. As result, dumps ash have established so it was...

In this work is studied the isoperoxidase pattern of in vitro subculture Robinia pseudoacacia var. oltenica, on various culture media, with content myo-inositol, humic acids and magnetic fluids. The electrophoretic separation isoperoxidases was performed from extracts obtained 30 days’old vegetal material. fractions were characterized terms quantity quality a study their thermal stability performed. data show that activity modulated ways by presence factors into medium.
