Sugar beet is a highly salt-tolerant crop. However, its ability to withstand high salinity reduced compared sea beet, wild ancestor of all crops. The aim this study was investigate transcriptional patterns associated with physiological, cytological and biochemical mechanisms involved in salt response these closely related subspecies. Salt acclimation strategies were assessed plants subjected either gradually increasing levels (salt-stress) or excised leaves, exposed instantly (salt-shock)....

Polyploidization is an important source of variability for plant breeding. Polyploids are often characterised by increased resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Since drought pathogen attack the main threats apple cultivation, obtaining new sources issue The newly obtained autotetraploid clones cv. ‘Redchief’ showed superior fire blight. aim presented research was in-depth phenotypic characterisation tetraploids assessment their response at physiological genetic level. growth own-rooted...

Abstract Eosinophils are core components of the immune system, yet tools lacking to directly observe eosinophils in action vivo. To better understand role tissue resident eosinophils, we used eosinophil-specific CRE (eoCRE) mice create GFP and tdTomato reporters. We then employed intravital microscopy examine dynamic behaviour healthy GI tract, mesentery, liver, lymph node, skin lung. Given allergic airway diseases, also examined lung following ovalbumin sensitization challenge. were able...

The effects of bacterial and fungal inocula on the nutritional status 'Sampion' apple trees was evaluated in three-years study (2018–2020). experiment set up a two-factor system: (i) fertilization (without or mineral with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium); (ii) application beneficial microorganisms application, fungi bacteria). mixture soil contained two species: Aspergillus niger Purpureocillium lilacinum. bacteria three strains Bacillus (Bacillus sp., amyloliquefaciens Paenibacillus...

Root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp. are sedentary endoparasites that infest a wide range of plant species; they also widely distributed, making them one the most economically significant pests. Similarly, damage caused by Aphelenchoides fragariae can lead to substantial reductions in both crop yield and quality. This research focused on rhizosphere Helianthus tuberosus L. (variety Albik), grown Polish plantation. The experiment was conducted at National Institute Horticultural Research...

Abstract The study examined the performance of four machine learning algorithms (regression trees, boosted random forests, and artificial neural networks) for estimating evapotranspiration (ET o ) based on incomplete meteorological data. Meteorological variables (mean maximum air temperature, average humidity, level solar radiation, vapor pressure deficit, extraterrestrial day number year) were used as input. simulation two calculation scenarios: data with without radiation. different models...

Abstract The metastable zone width of pure ammonium oxalate aqueous solutions, as represented by maximum supercooling Δ T max , is investigated functions cooling rate R and saturation temperature 0 the polythermal method. experimental results are discussed using two recently advanced approaches: (1) self‐consistent Nývlt‐like approach based on a power‐law relationship between nucleation J supersaturation ln S (2) novel described classical three‐dimensional theory. Analysis data revealed that...

Precise timing and rate of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application play a major role for crop yield quality.Prediction N requirements is necessary efficient utilization fertilizers.A user-friendly method estimating foliar concentration, based on an analysis leaf blade colour, was developed in the study.Apple tree (Malus domestica Borkh.) used as model species validation proposed method.Digital recording adaxial surface performed using flatbed scanner.The acquired images were analysed to obtain...

Abstract To study possibility of protection sweet cherry fruit against cracking several rows ‘Lapins’ ( Prunus avium L.) trees grafted on ‘Colt’ rootstock, spaced 5 × 2.5 m and trained to a central leader were covered with plastic foil height m. Several left uncovered as control. In the years 2016 2018, sun irradiation, air temperature quality evaluated. The cover reduced solar irradiation under tunnel roof by around 40%. Light distribution within tree canopies was depleted roughly 50%, but...

Abstract Leukocyte recruitment plays a critical role during both normal inflammation and chronic inflammatory diseases, ongoing studies endeavor to better understand the complexities of this process. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is well known for its in cancer, yet it also has been shown regulate aspects neutrophil B16 melanoma cell by rapidly influencing endothelial focal dynamics junctional opening. Recently, we found that FAK related non-kinase (FRNK), protein often used as dominant...

The analysis of water losses should precede the decisions on repairing or modernizing a network. Water balance and indicators established by International Association (IWA) standards can constitute basis for analysis. methods recommended IWA are gaining increasing popularity in many countries, including Poland. aim paper is comparison two middle-sized distribution systems during period 10 years. compared networks similar respect to parameters, intensity indicator value (circa 48 m3/d/km)....

A machine learning model was developed to support irrigation decisions. The field research conducted on ‘Gala’ apple trees. For each week during the growing seasons (2009–2013), following parameters were determined: precipitation, evapotranspiration (Penman–Monteith formula), crop (apple) evapotranspiration, climatic water balance, balance (AWB), cumulative (determined weekly, ΣCWB), (ΣAWB), number from full bloom, and nominal classification variable: irrigation, no irrigation. Statistical...

In traditional climate diagrams a fixed coefficient (α) between temperature and precipitation has been adopted.It shown, however, that such an approach does not correctly describe the conditions of climatic balance in Poland for entire growing season.In this paper, different solution to problem is proposedthe introduction variable individual months.The analysis patterns variables over year supports hypothesis order estimate ETo only by means mean air (ETo = α•T), α should be months...

Abstract Experimental results of an in situ study displacement rates growth steps, observed by optical microscopy, different height on the {010} faces potassium acid phthalate single crystals from aqueous solutions predefined supersaturations up to 8.5% at about 30 °C are reported and discussed. It was found that: (1) there is a large spread rate steps even for same supersaturation but decreases with increasing value supersaturation, (2) some cases step while others it increases duration,...

Abstract Retinal detachments can be repaired with the use of cerclages. Currently non‐resorbable silicone scleral buckle implants are used to indent eye and in that way increase internal pressure eye. The resorbable has advantages over using materials. High molecular weight poly(1,3‐trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) is a flexible biodegradable polymer great potential soft tissue engineering preparation like buckles. To able PTMC devices clinical applications, full biocompatibility study was...
