Characteristics of Callus and Cell Suspension Cultures of Highbush Blueberry ( L.) Cultivated in the Presence of Different Concentrations of 2,4-D and BAP in a Nutrient Medium.

In this work, cultures of callus and suspension cells originating from leaves of sterile highbush blueberry ( L.) plants were obtained and characterized. For their active growth and production of phenolic compounds, a combination of 2,4-D at a concentration of 0.

Development of Analytical Model to Describe Reflectance Spectra in Leaves with Palisade and Spongy Mesophyll.

Remote sensing plays an important role in plant cultivation and ecological monitoring. This sensing is often based on measuring spectra of leaf reflectance, which are dependent on morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics of plants. However, interpretation of the reflectance spectra requires the development of new tools to analyze relations between plant characteristics and leaf reflectance.

Several Characteristics of G.L. Barron Important for Heather Plants' Controlled Mycorrhization.

G.L. Barron is a recognized fungal species capable of forming ericoid mycorrhiza with various positive effects on host plants; therefore, newly found and previously uncharacterized strains may be valuable for heather plants' controlled mycorrhization.

Effect of Photoconversion Coatings for Greenhouses on Electrical Signal-Induced Resistance to Heat Stress of Tomato Plants.

The use of photoconversion coatings is a promising approach to improving the quality of light when growing plants in greenhouses in low light conditions. In this work, we studied the effect of fluoropolymer coatings, which produce photoconversion of UV-A radiation and violet light into blue and red light, on the growth and resistance to heat stress of tomato plants ( L.).

Visual lateralization in artiodactyls: A brief summary of research and new evidence on saiga antelope.

The visual system and lifestyle characteristics make the even-toed ungulates an excellent model for the studies of behavioural lateralization. Recent research has focused on these mammals providing evidence of lateralization in a wide range of behaviours. This provides an opportunity for the collation of the current theoretical assumptions and the existing empirical evidence for visual lateralization in artiodactyls.

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Electrical and Photosynthetic Activity and the Content of Phytohormones Induced by Local Stimulation of Pea Plants.

A local leaf burning causes variation potential (VP) propagation, a decrease in photosynthesis activity, and changes in the content of phytohormones in unstimulated leaves in pea plants. The VP-induced photosynthesis response develops in two phases: fast inactivation and long-term inactivation. Along with a decrease in photosynthetic activity, there is a transpiration suppression in unstimulated pea leaves, which corresponds to the long-term phase of photosynthesis response.
