AB  - Loess is the most important archive of Quaternary palaeoclimate evolution, with more thorough and systematic investigations carried out in the past two decades in the Carpathian Basin. Application of novel proxies in loess research could improve the state of knowledge of the past climatic changes. In order to examine the feasibility of cyanobacterial pigments to be used as biomarkers in paleoclimate reconstruction and thereby substantiate the presence of cyanobacterial community during loess accumulation, geochemical evidence of cyanobacteria-specific biomarkers in the sediment is required. In this study structurally different cyanobacterial metabolites were examined for their potential to be used as biomarkers. These compounds included scytonemin wavelength equivalent (SWE) and mycosporine wavelength equivalent (MWE) compounds. The effect of various physico-chemical factors (pH value, temperature and light source) on the production of SWE and MWE compounds in correlation with the nitrogen content of the growth medium was studied. SWE compounds were observed in 8 out of 15 soil and aquatic cyanobacterial strains, while MWE compounds were found in all 15 strains. The results show that exposure to UV light induced a higher synthesis of both pigments. Moreover, the presence of SWE compounds was confirmed in cyanobacterial cultures isolated from biological loess crusts (BLCs) as well as in BLC and loess sediment samples. The potential application of these pigment groups as biomarkers in paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstruction is discussed.

AB  - Drought is the prime abiotic factor that limits sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) production in Serbia and other regions where the crop is not usually irrigated. As increased irrigation is not an economically viable solution, the most effective one is development of varieties adapted for successful growth in drought-prone environments. Within the framework of ongoing projects, in Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops Novi Sad (IFVCNS) research was performed with the aim to select drought tolerant sugar beet genotypes, improve production under water deficit conditions, and clarify the physiological processes of drought tolerance in sugar beet. Genotypic diversity for drought-related tolerance indices were assessed in the field trials and the strength of association between them and crop performance was measured. As the drought tolerance is a complex trait, very difficult to evaluate in the field, the study was also conducted through the greenhouse experiments and in vitro screening. The plant material was studied for morphological and physiological parameters of water regime and the expression of genes that are known to respond to osmotic stress.

AB  - Over the past few years, significant efforts have been made to decrease the effects of drought stress on plant productivity and quality. We propose that fullerenol nanoparticles (FNPs, molecular formula C-60(OH)(24)) may help alleviate drought stress by serving as an additional intercellular water supply. Specifically, FNPs are able to penetrate plant leaf and root tissues, where they bind water in various cell compartments. This hydroscopic activity suggests that FNPs could be beneficial in plants. The aim of the present study was to analyse the influence of FNPs on sugar beet plants exposed to drought stress. Our results indicate that intracellular water metabolism can be modified by foliar application of FNPs in drought exposed plants. Drought stress induced a significant increase in the compatible osmolyte proline in both the leaves and roots of control plants, but not in FNP treated plants. These results indicate that FNPs could act as intracellular binders of water, creating an additional water reserve, and enabling adaptation to drought stress. Moreover, analysis of plant antioxidant enzyme activities (CAT, APx and GPx), MDA and GSH content indicate that fullerenol foliar application could have some beneficial effect on alleviating oxidative effects of drought stress, depending on the concentration of nanoparticles applied. Although further studies are necessary to elucidate the biochemical impact of FNPs on plants; the present results could directly impact agricultural practice, where available water supplies are often a limiting factor in plant bioproductivity.

AB  - Five black poplar (Populus nigra L.) genotypes were grown in a semi-controlled environment and were subjected to three different soil water regimes: control (90-70% of maximal field capacity-FC), drought followed by recovery of optimal soil water saturation (90-40% of FC) and permanent drought treatment (50-40% of FC). Variation in leaf gas exchange parameters such as photosynthetic (P) and transpiration intensity (T), as well as water use efficiency (WUE) were investigated among genotypes in their response to water deficit and recovery from drought. Recovery of soil water field capacity from 40% to 90% determined restored values of P, T and WUE. After 16 days of permanent drought (50-40% FC), strong decline of all parameters among examined genotypes was determined. Overall, significant differences among genotypes in leaf gas exchange parameters were found, which can give some indications of superiority of certain genotypes in relation to drought stress.

Nakon 16 dana konstantne suše (vodni kapacitet u opsegu 50-40%) utvrđeno je snažno opadanje analiziranih parametara u svim genotipovima.
