Anthropogenic activities have added a large amount of heavy metals to the environment. Heavy metal contaminants affect the physiological and biological properties of soil and plant health. Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient and it promotes plant growth and development but a higher concentration of the metal causes reduction in plant growth. The present study was aimed to evaluate the response of Bacillus cereus on maize plants at different concentrations of ZnSO4 (20, 40 and 60 mg kg–1) amended in the soil under pot experiment conditions. The experiment was conducted by using complete randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Higher doses of ZnSO4 inhibited maize growth and nutrient uptake. However, inoculation of maize seeds with Bacillus cereus at 20 mg kg–1 concentration of ZnSO4 increased seed germination about 39% and plant height by 15%. Moreover, 17% increase in leaf length and a 7% increase in leaf number were observed as compared to control at 20 mg kg–1 concentrations of ZnSO4. Reductions in all growth parameters were observed with 60 mg kg–1 concentration of ZnSO4. The Zn uptake was 75% higher in treatment T8 (uninoculated seeds with 60 mg kg–1 concentration of ZnSO4) as compared to treatments which were inoculated and grown under different zinc concentrations. The results suggest that Bacillus cereus has good potential to remediate Zn from soil as well as to reduce the phyto-availibility and phytotoxicity of zinc.

Thymus cilicicus is an endemic Eastern Mediterranean element that has aromatic-medicinal properties. Its natural population spreads across gravelly ground and open rocky areas of South and Southwest Anatolia. The current study on in vitro propagation of T. cilicicus focused deeply on environmental applications such as the development of an optimum medium composition for efficient and genetically stable micropropagation and improved preservation procedures for long-time conservation of elite germplasms for further studies. For this purpose, MS and OM media were used individually and in combination with cytokinins, charcoal, AgNO3, Fe-EDDHA, and H3BO3. The raw data were statistically analyzed via the graph kernel method to optimize the nonlinear relationship between all parameters. The optimal proliferation medium for T. cilicicus was OM supplemented with a combination of 10 g L-1 charcoal and 1 mg L-1 KIN and the calculated averages of the best regeneration rate, the best shoot number and the best shoot length were 96.89%, 3 and 1.24 respectively on this medium. The determination of genetic stability of in vitro grown plants on the optimum medium compositions obtained by the graph kernel method was carried out with the use of the ISSR-PCR technique. All the ISSR primers produced a total of 192 reproductive band profiles, none of which were polymorphic. Furthermore, the micropropagated plants were successfully rooted and acclimatized to greenhouse conditions. In this study, we present a graph kernel multiple propagation index which considers all the possible parameters needing to be analyzed. Such an index is used for the first time for the determination of the optimum proliferation medium.
纤毛胸腺是东地中海的一种特有元素，具有芳香的药用特性。它的自然种群分布在安纳托利亚南部和西南部的砾石地面和开阔的岩石地区。目前对弯孢霉体外繁殖的研究主要集中在环境应用方面，如开发高效和遗传稳定的微繁殖的最佳培养基组成，以及改进保存程序以长期保存优良种质以供进一步研究。为此，单独使用MS和OM培养基，并与细胞分裂素、木炭、AgNO3、Fe-EDDHA和H3BO3组合使用。通过图核方法对原始数据进行统计分析，以优化所有参数之间的非线性关系。以10 g L-1活性炭和1 mg L-1 KIN为复合培养基，优化了毛滴虫的增殖培养基，在该培养基上计算出的最佳再生率、最佳芽数和最佳芽长的平均值分别为96.89%、3和1.24。利用ISSR-PCR技术，在用图形核法获得的最佳培养基组成上测定了离体植物的遗传稳定性。所有ISSR引物共产生192个繁殖带谱，没有一个是多态性的。此外，微繁殖植物成功生根并适应温室条件。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个图核多重传播指数，它考虑了所有可能需要分析的参数。这种指数首次用于确定最佳增殖培养基。

Based on plant material collected in the forest nursery of the Balearic Island Forestry Center (CEFOR) for autochthonous plant production and the University of the Balearic Islands experimental facilities, two new plant records are presented for the Mediterranean island of Mallorca. Dactyloctenium aegyptium, an invasive grass previously recorded in other areas of the Mediterranean basin, and Glinus oppositifolius, a new record for the European flora. In both cases the species are presumed to have arrived through contaminated batches of the coconut fibre substrate used in both facilities.

This paper describes a new species of the genus Cymbella C.A. Agardh from an alpine lake in the Hengduan Mountains of southwestern China. A detailed morphological description of the new species, named Cymbella luoyulanae sp. nov., is presented; the description is based on light and scanning electron microscopy. The main features of C. luoyulanae are strongly dorsiventral valves with strongly reverse-lateral raphe branches near the proximal ends, a large central area occupying approximately a half of the width with the valve and slit-like areolae comprising striae that may be unseriate or partially biseriate. The new species has morphological characteristics that resemble those of C. heihainensis Y.Li et Gong, C. modicepunctata Krammer and C. asiatica Metzeltin, Lange-Bertalot et Y.Li, but it differs from these three species in details of size, valve shape, striae density, central area, and number of stigmata.
本文报道了中国西南横断山区一个高山湖泊中的一个新物种，即悬铃木属（Cymbella C.a.Agardh）。本文对该新种罗玉兰Cymbella looyulane sp.nov.进行了详细的形态学描述；该描述基于光和扫描电子显微镜。罗玉兰的主要特征是在近端附近具有强烈反向的中缝外侧分支的强背中央瓣，一个大的中心区域占据了瓣宽度的大约一半，并且狭缝状乳晕包括可能不可变或部分双列的条纹。该新种的形态特征类似于黑海松（C.heihainensis Y.Li et Gong）、莫迪切蓬塔（C.modicepunctata Krammer）和亚洲松（C.asiatica Metzeltin）、兰格·贝塔洛（Lange Bertalot）和李（Y.Li），但在大小、瓣膜形状、条纹密度、中心面积和柱头数量等方面与这三种不同。

The heterokont benthic multicellular algae Schizocladia ischiensis E.C. Henry, K. Okuda et H. Kawai (Schizocladiophyceae), Hecatonema terminale (Kützing) Kylin and Striaria attenuata (Greville) Greville (Phaeophyceae) are reported for the first time from the waters around the Maltese islands in the central Mediterranean. They were identified through algal isolation from incubated natural substrata, coupled with DNA barcoding targeting the biomarkers COI and rbcL plus the RuBisCO spacer. For three additional brown algae, Colpomenia sinuosa (Mertens ex Roth) Derbès et Solier, Asperococcus bullosus J.V.Lamouroux and Sphacelaria sp., DNA sequences confirmed previous morphology-based records from Malta. This paper also provides an updated literature-based species list of the marine macroalgae present in Malta.

Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott is an emergent aquatic and semi-aquatic species native to Asia, where it grows in tropical and subtropical areas. This species is widely cultivated for its edible corm and is considered as alien in various parts of the world, becoming sometimes invasive (e.g., in Spain), and in these areas eradication should be carried out. As part of ongoing studies on Araceae, in 2015 a population of C. esculenta was discovered in Rome (central Italy), where it grows along ditches. This is the first record of a naturalized population in Italy. A comprehensive view of this species in Italy and Europe was given, with clarifications about its occurrence in the Balkans, where C. esculenta was excluded from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. A morphological description based on the population found and considerations of its ecology and the climatic conditions at the Roman site are provided.

Species of coastal dunes are subjected to several environmental stress factors such as drought, high temperature, light intensity as well as salinity, which led to development of specific morphological, physiological and biochemical adaptation mechanisms. Studying these strategies allows explaining the survival of these species in such hostile and stressful conditions. In this study we compared some parameters (morphological, physiological and biochemical) of two Brassicaceae species Matthiola tricuspidata (L.) W.T.Aiton, Cakile maritima Scop., and two Fabaceae species Lotus creticus L. and Ononis variegata L., harvested from their natural environment in coastal dunes of Zemmouri El Bahri (Algeria), with the aim to understand their mechanisms of adaptation. The results revealed that C. maritime showed the highest relative water content, leaf area, leaf mass area, and succulence index. Based on the highest levels of total phenols, flavonoids and anthocyanins as well as high contents of photosynthetic pigments, M. tricuspidata can be classified as "homoiochlorophyllous" plant. The dry mass content varied considerably among species, with the highest values observed in L. creticus and the lowest in C. maritima. As both Fabaceae species L. creticus and O. variegata showed high chlorophylls, carotenoids, total phenols and flavonoids could also be classified as "homoiochlorophyllous" species. The relatively high levels of total phenols, total flavonoids, anthocyanins and carotenoids implies a biochemical adaptation that allows these plants to maintain necessary photosynthetic activity under a water deficiency condition.
海岸带沙丘物种受到干旱、高温、强光、盐度等多种环境胁迫因素的影响，形成了独特的形态、生理和生化适应机制。研究这些策略可以解释这些物种在如此恶劣和紧张的条件下的生存。本研究比较了两种芸苔科植物Matthiola tricuspidata (L.)的形态学、生理生化指标。W.T.Aiton, Cakile maritime Scop。和两种豆科植物莲花(lotuscreticus L.)和Ononis variegata L. (Ononis variegata L.)，采自阿尔及利亚Zemmouri El Bahri海岸沙丘的自然环境，目的是了解它们的适应机制。结果表明，海棠花的相对含水量、叶面积、叶质量面积和多肉指数最高。根据其总酚、总黄酮和花青素含量最高以及光合色素含量高的特点，可将其归类为“同质叶绿素”植物。干物质含量在不同种间差异较大，以白草最高，海草最低。由于豆科植物L. creticus和O. variegata均含有较高的叶绿素，类胡萝卜素、总酚和黄酮类物质也可归类为“同质叶绿素”物种。相对较高水平的总酚、总黄酮、花青素和类胡萝卜素意味着一种生化适应，使这些植物在缺水条件下保持必要的光合活性。

The relatively high levels of total phenols, total flavonoids, anthocyanins and carotenoids implies a biochemical adaptation that allows these plants to maintain necessary photosynthetic activity under a water deficiency condition.","PeriodicalId":6967,"journal":{"name":"Acta Botanica Croatica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.37427/botcro-2021-001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42735214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poa maroccana is an annual Mediterranean species, which is recorded for the first time from Sicily and for the whole Italian territory. It usually occurs in synanthopic habitats, represented mainly by urban and suburban roadsides, where it is quite sporadic. Based on current knowledge, it has been hitherto reported only in a few localities of the Mediterranean area, particularly in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Syria and Crimea. Field observations and herbarium investigations have shown that this species is often mistaken for P. annua, mainly due to its morphological similarities, as well as for the same ecological needs, therefore its real geographical distribution has yet to be verified. Although the two species are both tetraploids (2n = 28), they clearly differ for numerous relevant features concerning the shape and size of ligules, inflorescence, spikelet, glumes, palea, lemma, anthers, lodicules and seed. In order to better clarify the relationships of P. maroccana with P. annua and the other annual species of this genus occurring in the Mediterranean, its carefull a morphological description and iconography is provided, as well as a comparative morphological table of all allied species and also their analytical key for easy identification.
Poa maroccana是地中海一年生物种，首次在西西里岛和整个意大利领土上记录。它通常发生在合生栖息地，主要以城市和郊区的路边为代表，在那里它是相当零星的。根据目前的知识，迄今只在地中海地区的几个地方，特别是在摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚、突尼斯、利比亚、西班牙、葡萄牙、希腊、土耳其、叙利亚和克里米亚报告了这种情况。野外观察和植物标本室调查表明，由于其形态上的相似性和相同的生态需要，该物种经常被误认为是黄花蒿，因此其真实的地理分布尚未得到证实。虽然这两个物种都是四倍体(2n = 28)，但它们在叶柄、花序、小穗、颖片、颖花、外稃、花药、花萼和种子的形状和大小等许多相关特征上明显不同。为了更好地阐明maroccana P. maroccana与P. annua及其他地中海一年生植物的关系，本文对其进行了详细的形态描述和图解，并提供了所有近缘种的比较形态表和便于鉴定的分析关键字。
