The reintegration of water management, as an economic branch of special importance in the overall social and economic development of the country, is conditioned by appropriate scientific and technological progress. Water activities, whether water use, to protect against harmful effects of water or water protection, must be based on modern scientific achievements and modern technologies. Starting from the importance of water management, the Republic of Serbia in the past 40 years has provided certain support to basic and applied research in scientific disciplines within water management, energy, agriculture, construction, traffic and other branches. On the basis of these researches, new technology has been acquired, new technological processes have been developed, the technologies of design, construction and management of water management facilities and systems have been improved, devices and equipment have been developed, etc.. Scientific research work in the field of water management in Serbia took its place and was to a certain extent coordinated with the development policy of water management and other economic branches. However, it is evident that scientific and technological development did not follow the upward trend, development did not include water management as an economy branch as a whole, it was not based on the long-term water management development program and it did not have a continuous funding policy. Due to the lack of a long-term water management policy and the appropriate support (institutional and financial) for the implementation of this policy, scientific research in the field of water management has lost a step in relation to the developed countries of the world. Bearing in mind all the problems and plans for the development of water management, which are set out in the Water Management Plan of the Republic of Serbia, it is necessary to adopt a strategic plan for the development of water management, and within this framework, the strategic program of scientific research activities in the following period.

: Common sage or Dalmatian sage ( Salvia officinalis L.) is a perennial plant (subshrub), native to the Mediterranean region. This research was conducted to identify the fungi species which cause a sudden damping-off disease in some common sage plantation, in the coastal experimental areas of Antalya and Izmir provinces of Turkey. The infected plant materials were collected from Mediterranean and Eagean regions which showed root and crown rots typical of Phytophthora sp. symptoms. Ten plants having those symptoms were used for identification of the causal agent by Phytophthora selective medium. A new Phytophthora species was isolated and identified as P. cryptogea as a result of morphological and molecular characteristics of DNA base sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Pathogenicity of P. cryptogea was proved on rooted cuttings of common sage. This is the first report of P. cryptogea on common sage in Turkey.

Sustainable development in education of horticulture imposes involvement of new system in education of agricultural experts, in particular vegetable growers, such as ethical view off point to the reality of production, synthesis of traditional practices (crop rotation and mixed crops, etc.), the love to the land inherited from ancestors and modern scientific achievements from this perspective which will have a positive environmental effect over the agrarian ecosystems and the environment in general. From this perspective, lectures and practices should be based on the principles of integration of different systems and methods of production, which will include sustainable management of fertilizing and irrigation, energy use associated with production and integrated control of pests with sustainable application in the farms. These principles should be presented in a special section entitled “Sustainable Growing of Vegetables” which will form the basic knowledge related to the topic. They should be included in an appropriate place in the relevant sections for each vegetable crop, with the active participation of trained people. In order to overcome the specified problems and ensure sustainable development of the sector, it is necessary to provide well-trained people who know not only the traditional technologies used at present, but also the principles of sustainable agriculture as well, especially related with keeping natural resources to next generations.

Sucrose is a sugar required for pollen germination and pollen tube elongation. It is little known on the regulation mechanism. As such, this research was conducted to reveal mechanism pathway of the sugar in regulating pollen germination and pollen tube elongation by cell wall invertase. The pollen grains, respectively originated from wild type and transgenic tomato plants, which had been silenced their inhibitor gene (INVINH1) of the cell wall invertase were used in this study. The pollen grains were cultured in media containing glucose, fructose or sucrose. Results of the study showed that percentage of the pollen germination derived from transgenic plants was much higher than that from wild type plants. Moreover, pollen tube elongation was longer in transgenic plants compared with wild type plants. Interestingly, these results were observed in medium containing sucrose only, but not in glucose and fructose. This result suggests that cell wall invertase activity regulates pollen germination and pollen tube elongation through sucrose hydrolysis.

Ergene Basin is one of the most important industrial centers due to the geographical location in Turkey. Uncontrolled and rapidly increasing industrialization brings together a large number of environmental problems in the basin. In this study, pollution was investigated in the water samples taken at time intervals and different parts of groundwater and surface water resources located within Ergene Basin by methylene blue anionic surfactants (MBAS) analysis method. Turbidity, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), concentrations of total P and linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) were simultaneously determined in the investigated water resources. The results were compared with the Turkish Water Pollution Control Regulation specified in the Quality Criteria of the Inland Water Resources according to their class. The total P and LAS concentrations of surface waters are generally higher than groundwater. In terms of LAS concentrations, the groundwater is I-II class and the surface water is II-IV class.

The aim of the paper was to study the metabolite profile and morphological characteristics of sugar beet regenerants exposed to aluminium ions (Al). The regenerants were selected basing on selective media with sublethal acidity (рН 3.5). The thrice-repeated passaging of sugar beet microclones of two genotypes in low рН medium causes certain alterations in the cellular metabolism. The paper demonstrated that peroxidase (POD) and isocitrate lyase (ICL) activity increased in both varieties. At the same time, NADH-dehydrogenase (NADH-DH) activity decreased in hybrid plants. Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (gl-6-ph-dh) activity increased in mail sterile (MS) hybrid plants, but reduced in Ramonskaya fertile (RF) hybrid plants. Adaptation to reduced рН was accompanied by alterations in the isozyme spectra of POD, 1and 2-esterase, cytochrome с oxidase and malic enzyme (ME). The adaptation process of sugar beet regenerants was also accompanied by an increase in protein synthesis. The level of metabolic response to stress very much depended on the initial genotype of the hybrid. In this experiment, aluminium resistant plants were growing rapidly in selective media. They developed leaves with healthy petioles and blades and had strong root systems.

The diversity of aquatic resources in Thi Nai Lagoon decreased due to the lack of harmonious use and integrated long-term planning on the use of living resources. There remained a lack of mechanisms and regulations for coordination of activities in the lagoon by Binh Dinh Provincial People’s Committee (PPC). The aim of the study was to investgate the aquatic species and water quality in Thi Nai Lagoon, Vietnam. Data were collected at 23 different points on Thi Nai Lagoon, with three replicates at each point. There were 106 species of fish presented on the lagoon and in different sizes, including 17 mollusc species and 15 crustaceans species. In the dry season, there were 167 phytoplankton species in five divisions, 10 classes in 39 orders in 59 families including 77 genus. Zooplankton had eight chordata in 10 classes of 18 orders including 44 families, 64 genus and 102 species. Arthropoda had the largest number of species, 78 species, accounting for 76.5% of total species. In the rainy season, only 48 species of Arthropoda, Cnidaria, Annelida, Chaetognatha and Rotifer were affected and some were not encountered in the wet season, such as mollusca and chordata. While water quality variables were still good for aquaculture, within permitted limits of TCVN standard and criteria, there were still problems caused by production discharges and living activities of inhabitants around the lagoon, such as sedimentary matters.

AVRDC 1330, the control check and AVRDC 1331 had the high actual yield with 16.57, 10.65 and 7.88 tons/ha, respectively, and these two introduced accessions can be used for breeding and cultivation under local condition.","PeriodicalId":14977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural science & technology A","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75303554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of the benefit sharing mechanism (BSM) pilot policy on sustainable use of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and natural resources conservation in co-management forest of Bach Ma National Park. Evaluation methods were route and permanent plot survey, household interview, in-depth interview, village meeting, group discussion and workshop at commune level. Results showed that: (1) the BSM policy had brought favorable conditions for local people in sustainable use and development of the NTFPs, as well as minimised the threats to biodiversity in co-managed forest; (2) the harvest amounts of seven selected NTFPs after two years of the BSM policy implementation were higher than growth rate of every NTFP and the permitted harvest amounts of the benefit sharing plans (BSP); (3) although there was a risk of over-exploitation of the NTFPs, the annual yields in 2013 and 2014 were much lower, but more sustainable than that before the BSM implementation; (4) the forest protection status in the co-management areas was also better than before. Additionally, this study has also defined and recommended that in order to continue the BSM, it is necessary to ensure the sustainable exploitation of NTFPs, as well as implement more enforcement activities inside the co-management forest area.
