Improving the Conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS Layers in Photovoltaic Cells Based on Organometallic Halide Perovskites.

Among conductive polymers, PEDOT films find the widest application in electronics. For photovoltaic applications, studies of their optical properties, stability, and electrical conductivity are of greatest interest. However, the PEDOT:PSS transport layers, when used in photovoltaic cells, have a high electrical resistance, which prevents solar cells from increasing their efficiency.

[Cytogenetic studies on submerged plants from the Yenisei river area in the zone of radioactive contamination].

Cytogenetic studies on three species of submerged plants from different parts of the Yenisei river area subjected to radioactive impact of the Krasnoyarsk Mining-and-Chemical Plant and the Electrochemical Factory have been conducted. A high level of irregularities in anatelophase and metaphase of mitoses has been revealed in test samples compared to the control: agglutination and fragmentation of chromosomes, lagging chromosomes, bridges, fragments, misdivisions, and others. The natuie of the disorders indicates that they are related in part to the direct damage to the chromosome structure and in part to damage to the spindle.

[Karyological characteristics of Abies sibirica in the Middle Siberia].

Data on Abies sibirica karyotype structure have been obtained in five populations of Middle Siberia. Chromosome set (2n = 24) consists of 7 pairs of metacentric (I--VII), 4 pairs of submetacentric (VIII, X-XII) and a pair of intercentric (IX) chromosomes. Morphometric parameters of chromosome groups are similar in the populations studied.

[Microsporogenesis and pollen formation in Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)].

The prolongation of a warm season during autumn, typical for the Siberia in recent 5-6 years, caused changes in the terms of reproductive processes in microsporangia of Scotch pine in the Krasnoyarsk region. The meiosis started in the autumn of the year, preceding the pollination, and comes to the end in next spring, whereas usually this process occurs in the spring of the year of pollination. In such conditions the division of microsporocytes accompanied with different abnormalities, causing various anomalies and the incomplete development of pollen grains.

[Meiosis in the Siberian fir during microsporogenesis in conditions of arboretum].

Meiosis was studied in the Siberian fir (Abies sibirica Ledeb.) at the arboretum of the Sukachev Institute of Forest. Specific features of meiosis in planted trees have been described.
