AB  - Due to increased urbanization and industrialization, the emission of toxic material into the
atmosphere is in expansion, which has a negative impact on the environment and human health. In
this research, we monitored the effect of air pollution on the peroxidase (POD) activity and total
antioxidant capacity of different tree species during the growing season. The main goal was to
determine which tree species developed the highest tolerance to unfavorable environmental
conditions at the end of growing season, based on the response of their antioxidative metabolism. The
greatest change in POD activity was observed in the Fagus sylvatica L. leaves, where enzyme activity
was more than doubled in the autumn, in comparison to spring. On the other hand, decrease in POD
activity was the greatest in Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carrière needles. Moreover, total
antioxidative capacity was altered during growing season in almost all examined tree species. The
Magnolia spp. showed the most consistent response to the given environmental pollution with both
portrayed parameters induced during growing season. In general, we can conclude that the tree
species investigated in this research possess distinctive tolerance potential to air pollutants.

AB  - The first months are the most sensitive phase of oak seedling development. Light conditions have an important role in this sense, both from the physiological and management viewpoint. We investigated the response of pedunculate oak seedlings to three growth light intensities (100, 550 and 2000 μmol cm−2s−1) during development of the first and second growth flush. The low and high light intensities of PAR are supposed to mimic the effects of solar radiation under extreme natural conditions (closed canopy and open field). The response of seedlings to different light intensities was evaluated by determining the photochemical activity of photosystem II, leaf chlorophyll concentration and epidermal flavonoid accumulation for both growth flushes. At the end of the experiment (after 4.5 months) the effects of different treatments on growth parameters were also determined. We showed here that oak seedlings responded to varying light intensities by modifying their physiological and morphological traits of successive growth flushes. At medium light, seedlings had the highest PSII photochemical activity in the 2nd flush. High light induced very low photochemical efficiency of photosystem II in both growth flushes indicating the development of high non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence as part of photoprotective mechanism. In accordance with high photosynthetic yield at ML, the investment of photosynthates in growth, especially biomass allocation towards root system was confirmed. ML was optimal for seedling development in the first months. The results may contribute to a better understanding of oak seedling development and acclimation and could have importance for oak natural regeneration.

AB  - Street trees are important component of urban forest presenting a first barrier between air pollution
originated from vehicle traffic and pedestrians. It implies that an improvement of air quality in urban
areas greatly depends on green biomass, in short, the bigger and greener tree crown, better for human
health and wellbeing. Determination of Leaf Nitrogen Balance Index (LNBI) and chlorophyll
concentration (ChlC) by a non-invasive methodology and a user friendly instrument (Dualex 4,
Force), widely used in agronomy and horticulture, was tested here for the assessment of tree fitness in
urban zones. Investment of energy and resources either in growth or defence according to the tradeoff
strategy of plants may be indicated by LNBI, which approximately presents a Nitrogen/Carbon
ratio. We selected few tree species from Belgrade’s streets to determine those two parameters during
summer. We also presented the changes in those parameters of the introduced bamboo species within
ten years at several urban locations in Belgrade differing in air pollution aiming to evaluate
usefulness the LNBI parameter in access of multiyear exposure to the effect of intense vehicle traffic.
Numerous limiting factors for development of healthy tree crowns in urban ecosystem, such as low
capacity to cope with toxic pollutant, sensitivity to diseases, early senescence and etc., greatly depends
on tree species. We propose this methodology may also contribute in the process of choice of the
adequate tree species to be planted along streets.

AB  - Chloroplast movement rapidly ameliorates the effects of suboptimal light intensity by accumulating along the periclinal cell walls, as well as the effects of excess light by shifting to the anticlinal cell walls. These acclimation responses are triggered by phototropins located at the plasma membrane and chloroplast envelope. Here, we used a recently developed non-invasive system sensitive to very small changes in red light leaf transmittance to perform long-term continuous measurements of dark–light transitions. As a model system, we used variegated Pelargonium zonale leaves containing green sectors (GS) with fully developed chloroplasts and achlorophyllous, white sectors (WS) with undifferentiated plastids, and higher phototropin expression levels. We observed biphasic changes in the red-light transmittance and oscillations triggered by medium intensities of white light, described by a transient peak preceded by a constant decrease in transmittance level. A slight change in red-light transmittance was recorded even in WS. Furthermore, the chloroplast position at lower light intensities affected the rapid light curves, while high light intensity decreased saturated electron transport, maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II, and increased non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence and epidermal flavonoids. Our results extend the knowledge of light-dependent chloroplast movements and thus contribute to a better understanding of their role in regulating photosynthesis under fluctuating light conditions.

AB  - Three basil plant varieties (Ocimum basilicum var. Genovese, Ocimum x citriodorum, and Ocimum
basilicum var. purpurascens) were grown under moderate light (about 300 umol photons m-2 s-1)
in a glasshouse or growth chamber and then either transferred to an open field (average daily dose:
29.2 kJ m-2 d-1) or additionally exposed to UV-B irradiation in a growth chamber (29.16 kJ m-2 d-1),
to reveal the variety-specific and light-specific acclimation responses. Total antioxidant capacity
(TAC), phenolic profile, ascorbate content, and class III peroxidase (POD) activity were used to determine
the antioxidant status of leaves under all four light regimes. Exposure to high solar irradiation
at the open field resulted in an increase in TAC, total hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs, especially
caffeic acid), flavonoids, and epidermal UV-absorbing substances in all three varieties, as well as a
two-fold increase in the leaf dry/fresh weight ratio. The supplemental UV-B irradiation induced
preferential accumulation of HCAs (rosmarinic acid) over flavonoids, increased TAC and POD activity,
but decreased the ascorbate content in the leaves, and inhibited the accumulation of epidermal
flavonoids in all basil varieties. Furthermore, characteristic leaf curling and UV-B-induced inhibition
of plant growth were observed in all basil varieties, while a pro-oxidant effect of UV-B was indicated
with H2O2 accumulation in the leaves and spotty leaf browning. The extent of these morphological
changes, and oxidative damage depended on the basil cultivar, implies a genotype-specific tolerance
mechanism to high doses of UV-B irradiation.

with H2O2 accumulation in the leaves and spotty leaf browning. The extent of these morphological
changes, and oxidative damage depended on the basil cultivar, implies a genotype-specific tolerance
mechanism to high doses of UV-B irradiation.",

AB  - Ressurection plants are extraordinary because of their ability to withstand long periods without water, enter a state of anhydrobiosis, and fully recover upon water arrival. Ramonda serbica Panč. is a relic and endemic species that belongs to a very small group of desiccation-tolerant plants in Europe. Underlying physiological, molecular and morphological mechanisms that enable these plants to survive harsh environmental conditions have been an appealing subject of many researchers. Most of the genes responsible for this amazing ability are present in other plants, and research of those genes which could be activated in crops is growing much more attention because of the imminent crisis regarding food supplies in the near future. Key components involved in the response to dehydration in R. serbica plants were analysed through a comprehensive transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolite and photosynthetic study. Late embryogenesis abundant proteins play a significant role in the complex defence processes involved in desiccation tolerance. Defining LEAPs physicochemical characteristics and specific physiological functions may lead us to their applicability in other areas of research.

AB  - The resurrection plant Ramonda serbica Panc. survives long desiccation periods and fully recovers metabolic functions within one day upon watering. This study aimed to identify key candidates and pathways involved in desiccation tolerance in R. serbica. We combined differential transcriptomics and proteomics, phenolic and sugar analysis, FTIR analysis of the cell wall polymers, and detailed analysis of the photosynthetic electron transport (PET) chain. The proteomic analysis allowed the relative quantification of 1192 different protein groups, of which 408 were differentially abundant between hydrated (HL) and desiccated leaves (DL). Almost all differentially abundant proteins related to photosynthetic processes were less abundant, while chlorophyll fluorescence measurements implied shifting from linear PET to cyclic electron transport (CET). The levels of H2O2 scavenging enzymes, ascorbate-glutathione cycle components, catalases, peroxiredoxins, Fe-, and Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD) were reduced in DL. However, six germin-like proteins (GLPs), four Cu/ZnSOD isoforms, three polyphenol oxidases, and 22 late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAPs; mainly LEA4 and dehydrins), were desiccation-inducible. Desiccation provoked cell wall remodeling related to GLP-derived H2O2/HO● activity and pectin demethylesterification. This comprehensive study contributes to understanding the role and regulation of the main metabolic pathways during desiccation aiming at crop drought tolerance improvement

AB  - The objective of this study was to determine the constitutive differences in physiological, biochemical and morphological parameters between two tomato genotypes with different levels of abscisic acid (ABA) – wild type Ailsa Craig (WT) and ABA deficient mutant flacca. Due to reduced ABA biosynthesis, flacca mutant is a suitable model system for investigating the influence of endogenous leaf ABA level in response to drought in plants. Within this research, plants were grown under controlled conditions at 800 μmol m-2s-1, until the end of the vegetative phase when samples were taken. The accumulation of the most abundant soluble sugars, sorbitol, phenolic compounds, and ascorbate in the leaves, as well as the cell walls compounds, were analyzed. Lower constitutive ABA content in flacca was accompanied by two times higher stomatal conductance and similar leaf water potential. Higher content of phenolic compounds (HBAs, HCAs, flavonoids) was determined in WT plants, which was in contrast with the elevated accumulation of the epidermal flavonoids in flacca. Larger accumulation of sorbitol in WT, and of the most abundant soluble sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose) indicate that flacca accumulates lower content of osmolytes which was opposite to the condition at low light. However, an alternative mechanism related to cell wall modulation imposed its importance in the development of plant acclimation mechanisms under stressful environmental conditions in tomato deficient in ABA. On the other hand, an elevated ascorbate redox state in flacca indicates a higher sensitivity to oxidative stress of the mutant compared to WT even in optimal environmental conditions.

AB  - Drought causes huge agricultural and economic losses worldwide. Silicon (Si) is considered a
beneficial element for plants. It mitigates stress caused by salinity, drought, and high and low temperatures
by promoting antioxidant production. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not
elucidated. We investigated Si fertilisation effect on photosynthetic parameters, trichome number,
leaf optical properties, as well as profiles of amino acids and polyphenols in barley exposed to
water shortage. Silicon was applied in three growth stages: (i) before the flag leaf emergence;
(ii) prior to the grain filling phase; (iii) at the grain filling phase start. Drought negatively impacts
photochemical efficiency, stomatal conductance, photosynthetic pigment content, and leaf reflective
and transmissive properties. Si application between flag leaf emergence and grain filling
had the strongest effect on light reflectance. Among all analyzed phenolics, saponarin was the
most abundant in all samples, irrespective of water regime and Si supply. Caffeoyl ester was the
only hydroxycinnamic acid showing significant accumulation with the latest applied Si compared
to no added Si upon drought. The major amino acids in barley leaves were glutamate, glutamine,
aspartate, asparagine, and serine. Aspartate content was the highest in leaves exposed to drought
without Si addition, while lysine was the most accumulated in the leaves supplemented by Si at
the grain filling phase start. Proline was 2.5 times more abundant in the leaves exposed to drought
regardless of Si treatment. Taken together, although Si did not mitigate drought stress effects, its
effect was dependent on the barley growth phase prior to supplementation.

AB  - Three varieties of basil (Ocimum x citriodorum, Ocimum basilicum var. Genovese and Ocimum
basilicum var. purpurascens) were used to examine the effect of different PAR intensities (100, 400
and 1400 µmol photons m-2s-1), as well as different UV-B/PAR ratios, on leaf phenolics accumulation, and components of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. Phenolic compounds represent the
most abundant class of secondary metabolites, and their function in plants involves protection
against numerous abiotic stresses, role in growth and development, flowering, reproduction and
seed dispersion. A preferential accumulation of HCAs over Flav, induction of class III POD activity
and decreased ascorbate content were characteristic responses to pro-oxidative effect of the high
UV-B/PAR ratio in all three basil varieties. The most remarkable result was the lack of accumulation
of epidermal UV absorbing substances, which appeared to be a crucial photoprotective mechanism in sunlight. The contrasting effect of ecologically relevant UV-B radiation on basil plants,
pro-oxidative vs. acclimative, was determined by the quality and intensity of the background light.
Acclimation of basil to high light comprises a number of processes, among which are the accumulation of epidermal flavonoids and total leaf phenolics, antioxidant response (increase in Asc and
GSH) and lack of downregulation of PSII upon increasing light intensity. Among varieties that we
used as model system in this study, purple basil, with the highest constitutive amount of anthocyanidins, showed the least induction of epidermal flavonoids and lack of light effect upon transfer
from initial 50 to 250 µmol photons m-2s-1.

AB  - Two tomato genotypes with constitutively different ABA level, flacca mutant and wild type of Ailsa Craig cv. (WT), were subjected to three repeated drought cycles, with the aim to reveal the role of the abscisic acid (ABA) threshold in developing drought tolerance. Differential responses to drought of two genotypes were obtained: more pronounced stomatal closure, ABA biosynthesis and proline accumulation in WT compared to the mutant were compensated by dry weight accumulation accompanied by transient redox disbalance in flacca. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra analysis of isolated cell wall material and morphological parameter measurements on tomato leaves indicated changes in dry weight accumulation and carbon re-allocation to cell wall constituents in flacca, but not in WT. A higher proportion of cellulose, pectin and lignin in isolated cell walls from flacca leaves further increased with repeated drought cycles. Different ABA-dependent stomatal closure between drought cycles implies that acquisition of stomatal sensitivity may be a part of stress memory mechanism developed under given conditions. The regulatory role of ABA in the cell wall restructuring and growth regulation under low leaf potential was discussed with emphasis on the beneficial effects of drought priming in developing differential defense strategies against drought.

AB  - Since 2011, the outbreaks of brown rot caused by Ralstonia solanacearum race 3, biovar 2, phylotype IIB-1 (R3/B2/PIIB-1) have significantly compromised potato production in Serbia. During 6 years of monitoring (2013-2018) among 3,524 potato tuber samples, 344 were found positive for brown rot disease. R. solanacearum R3/B2/PIIB-1 was isolated from seven cultivars among 12 monitored, and in five localities among 17 monitored. Cultivar Lady Claire was found to have the highest disease frequency (31.98%). A total of 78 isolates were identified by R. solanacearum-specific primer pairs (PS-1/PS-2 and OLI-1/Y-2), as well as the following tests: restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, biovar determination, immunofluorescence, biochemical analysis, and pathogenicity. The genetic composition of 36 selected isolates assessed using multilocus sequence analysis with seven genes (adk, gapA, gdhA, gyrB, ppsA, hrpB, and fliC) showed that all isolates originating from Serbian potato were homogeneous. By using the TCS algorithm of concatenated sequences to get insight into the phylogeography of isolates and other R. solanacearum strains deposited in the NCBI database, we showed that their origin is undetermined. Peroxidase (POD) activity was measured in brown rotted potato tubers. A positive correlation was found between POD activity and disease severity rated on the analysed tubers. In general, POD activity increased by 2-22 times in vascular necrotic tissues compared to non-necrotic ones, and depended on disease severity but not on cultivar. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of POD profiles resulted in a total of 10 distinct POD isoforms, of which PODs 3-5 were highly intensified in response to R. solanacearum.

AB  - The present study examined the effects of Candidatus Phytoplasma solani infection on antioxidative metabolism in leaves and roots of carrot (Daucus carota L.). Disease symptoms appeared at the end of June in the form of the chlorosis on some of the leaves, which became intensely red one week later, while the previously healthy leaves from the same branch becme chlorotic. A few days later, all leaves from the infected leaf branch were intensely red. Infected plants also had slower growth compared to the healthy ones with fewer leaf branches developed. The roots of infected plants were less developed, seared, or gummy with or without brown-colored root hair. The presence of the pathogen was detected by sequencing the 16S rRNA. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) BLAST analyses of the obtained sequence revealed 100% identity of tested strain with deposited Ca. Phytoplasma solani strains from various countries and hosts, all belonging to the "stolbur" group (16SrXII-A). Identity of 99.74% was found when the tested Serbian strain (MF503627) was compared with the reference stolbur strain STOL11 (AF248959). The oxidative damage of membranes in carrot cells was accompanied by a decrease in the content of photosynthetic pigments. Furthermore, for the determination of specific scavenging properties of the extracts, in vitro antioxidant assay was performed. In phytoplasma-infected carrot leaves, there was a greater reduction in the level of glutathione content (GSH); however; flavonoids and anthocyanidins seem to be responsible for the accompanied increased antioxidative capacity against hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide.

AB  - Resurrection plantRamonda serbicais a suitable model to investigate vegetative desiccation tolerance. However, the detailed study of these mechanisms at the protein level is hampered by the severe tissue water loss, high amount of phenolics and polysaccharide, and possible protein modifications and aggregations during the extraction and purification steps. When applied toR.serbicaleaves, widely used protein extraction protocols containing polyvinylpolypyrrolidone and ascorbate, as well as the phenol/SDS/buffer-based protocol recommended for recalcitrant plant tissues failed to eliminate persistent contamination and ensure high protein quality. Here we compared three protein extraction approaches aiming to establish the optimal one for both hydrated and desiccatedR.serbicaleaves. To evaluate the efficacy of these protocols by shotgun proteomics, we also created the firstR.serbicaannotated transcriptome database, available at. The detergent-free phenol-based extraction combined with dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside-assisted extraction enabled high-yield and high-purity protein extracts. The phenol-based protocol improved the protein-band resolution, band number, and intensity upon electrophoresis, and increased the protein yield and the number of identified peptides and protein groups by LC-MS/MS. Additionally, dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside enabled solubilisation and identification of more membrane-associated proteins. The presented study paves the way for investigating the desiccation tolerance inR.serbica, and we recommend this protocol for similar recalcitrant plant material.

AB  - Water deficit has a global impact on plant growth and crop yield. Climate changes are going to increase the intensity, duration and frequency of severe droughts, particularly in southern and south-eastern Europe, elevating the water scarcity issues. We aimed to assess the contribution of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) in the protective mechanisms against water deficit, including stomatal conductance, relative water potential and the accumulation of osmoprotectants, as well as on growth parameters. To achieve that, we used a suitable model system, ABA-deficient tomato mutant, flacca and its parental line. Flacca mutant exhibited constitutively higher levels of soluble sugars (e.g., galactose, arabinose, sorbitol) and free amino acids (AAs) compared with the wild type (WT). Water deficit provoked the strong accumulation of proline in both genotypes, and total soluble sugars only in flacca. Upon re-watering, these osmolytes returned to the initial levels in both genotypes. Our results indicate that flacca compensated higher stomatal conductance with a higher constitutive level of free sugars and AAs. Additionally, we suggest that the accumulation of AAs, particularly proline and its precursors and specific branched-chain AAs in both, glucose and sucrose in flacca, and sorbitol in WT, could contribute to maintaining growth rate during water deficit and recovery in both tomato genotypes.

AB  - Ascorbate oxidase (AO, EC 1.10.3.3) is a copper-containing enzyme localized at the apoplast, where it catalyzes the oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA) to dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) via monodehydroascorbic acid (MDHA) intermediate. Despite it has been extensively studied, no biological roles have been definitively ascribed. To understand the role of AO in plant metabolism, fruit growth and physiology, we suppressed AO expression in melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit. Reduction of AO activity increased AA content in melon fruit, which is the result of repression of AA oxidation and simultaneous induction of certain biosynthetic and recycling genes. As a consequence, ascorbate redox state was altered in the apoplast. Interestingly, transgenic melon fruit displayed increased ethylene production rate coincided with elevated levels of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) oxidase (ACO, EC 1.14.17.4) activity and gene expression, which might contribute to earlier ripening. Moreover, AO suppressed transgenic melon fruit exhibited a dramatic arrest in fruit growth, due to a simultaneous decrease in fruit cell size and in plasmalemma (PM) ATPase activity. All the above, support for the first time, the in vivo AO participation in the rapid fruit growth of Cucurbitaceae and further suggest an alternative route for AA increase in ripening fruit.

AB  - Balkanic endemic plant species, Ramonda serbica, belongs to a small group of resurrection plants, since it is able to survive in an almost completely dehydrated state for months, and to fully recover metabolic functions upon watering. During drought and rehydration, reactive oxygen species increase presents an additional treat. In accordance, the increase of activities of the antioxidative enzymes, such as several superoxide dismutases and polyphenol oxidases in the critical first few hours of rehydration of R. serbica leaves was reported [1,2]. In fully hydrated leaves, the most abundant soluble phenolics were hydroxybenzoic acids (HBAs: p‐hydroxybenzoic, protocatechuic, and syringic acid) and catechin. Among hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs), caffeic acid was the major one, beside ferulic and chlorogenic acids. In addition, four flavonoids: apigenin, luteolin, cyanidin and delphinidin were identified as glycosides. Although R. serbica settles exclusively north-facing steep rocky sides, in the shade of the surrounding forest canopy, with reduced solar irradiance, 5-d-exposure to supplemental UV-B radiation significantly enhanced amounts of HBA derivatives and anthocyanins (2.6 and 5.7 folds, respectively), whereas flavon glycosides and most of HCA derivatives were unaffected. The physiological aspect of this UV-B stimulative effect, as well as the role of phenolic metabolism in cellular desiccation survival has to be explained.

AB  - Trehalose and its precursor, trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P), are essential regulators of plant response to abiotic and biotic stress. Here we used the specific host-insect interaction between Linaria vulgaris (Plantaginaceae) and stem-galling weevil, Rhinusa pilosa (Mecinini, Curculionidae) with the aim to distinguish carbohydrate allocation patterns in response to herbivory, gall formation (G1, 24 h after oviposition), and gall development (G2, 7 days after oviposition) under controlled conditions. The hypothesis is that herbivory and galling induce distinct responses in both leaves and stems, and that shifts in carbon allocations are regulated by signaling sugars. Systemic response to herbivory was accumulation of T6P and maltose. The main feature of G1 in the stems was accumulation of trehalose, accompanied by increased T6P, turanose and glucose content, oppositely to the leaves. In G2, galls had 3-folds higher weight than controls, with further accumulation of fructose, glucose, turanose, and total water-insoluble carbohydrates (TIC), while the sucrose/hexose ratio decreased. Analysis of fast chlorophyll fluorescence kinetic (OJIP) transients in G2 showed a slight decrease in quantum yield of electron transport flux from Q(A) to Q(B), and towards photosystem I acceptor side, correlated with the decreased content of photosynthetic pigments and hexoses accumulation. Redistribution of photosynthates, and accumulation of T6P were induced in response to herbivory, indicating its signaling role. The results support the hypothesis that R. pilosa can induce plant reprogramming towards the accumulation of beneficial carbohydrates in developing gall by mechanisms which include both T6P and trehalose.

AB  - Bacterial leaf spot caused by the plant pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. coriandricola (Psc) was observed on carrot, parsnip, and parsley grown on a vegetable farm in the Vojvodina Province of Serbia. Nonfluorescent bacterial colonies were isolated from diseased leaves and characterized using different molecular techniques. Repetitive element PCR fingerprinting with five oligonucleotide primers (BOX, ERIC, GTG(5), REP, and SERE) and the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR with the M13 primer revealed identical fingerprint patterns for all tested strains. Multilocus sequence analysis of four housekeeping genes (gapA, gltA, gyrB, and rpoD) showed a high degree (99.8 to 100%) of homology with sequences of Psc strains deposited in the Plant Associated Microbes Database and NCBI database. The tested strains caused bacterial leaf spot symptoms on all three host plants. Host-strain specificity was not found in cross-pathogenicity tests, but the plant response (peroxidase induction and chlorophyll bleaching) was more pronounced in carrot and parsley than in parsnip.

AB  - Class III peroxidases (POXs; EC. 1.11.1.7), are secretory, multifunctional plant enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a variety of substrates by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). They show a remarkable diversity of isoenzymes, are encoded by a large number of paralogous genes, and are involved in a broad range of metabolic processes throughout plant growth and development. Peroxidases isoenzymes are located in the cell wall, apoplast and vacuole, and may be either soluble or ionically and covalently cell wall bound. They are involved in cell wall cross-linking and loosening, lignification and suberization, auxin catabolism and secondary metabolism. Due to their ability to control the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), POXs are efficient components of the antioxidative system induced in response to environmental stress, such as pathogen attack, metal excess, salinity, drought and high light intensity. In addition to the peroxidative function, POXs can catalyze H2O2 production in the oxidative cycle. Peroxidases are responsible either for cell elongation or cell wall stiffening, affecting carbon allocation, auxin level and redox homeostasis, which implicates their key role as being in the regulation of growth and defence under stress condition. This chapter will discuss novel insights into the functions of PODs with special emphasis on their localization, substrate specificity and the regulation of redox homeostasis.

AB  - During their lifespan, plants are frequently exposed to adverse environmental conditions such as high solar irradiance, drought, heat, chilling, salinity, metal excess, and nutrient deficiency. The effects of these factors on plants are often interrelated and usually result in a decreased capacity of carbon fixation in photosynthesis, disturbed redox homeostasis, and growth arrest. Under severe conditions, increased excitation pressure in the chloroplasts exceeds the antioxidative capacity of plant cells leading to oxidative damage of cellular constituents. Although the plant ascorbate (Asc) level varies depending on external factors, developmental stage, diurnal rhythm, and light, its redox status is related to redox homeostasis in the cell. In chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and cytosol, Asc has a key role in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging via Asc peroxidase and is efficiently recycled via the ascorbate-glutathione (Asc-GSH) cycle and directly by monodehydroascorbate reductase activity. In apoplast and vacuoles, Asc is the main reductant of phenolic radicals generated under oxidative stress. Besides its antioxidative role, Asc has an important role in a complex and well-orchestrated plant response network to environmental stress, performing multiple tasks in redox signalling, regulation of enzymatic activities, modulation of gene expression, biosynthesis of phytohormones, and growth regulation. The content of Asc and its redox state is tightly related to cellular compartments. Therefore, it is important to emphasize Asc cellular distribution, which has a great impact on reactive oxygen species regulation and signalling. Numerous studies on transgenic plants with altered endogenous Asc levels and redox status were done with the aim to influence plant growth and improve tolerance to various abiotic stressors. In this chapter, we discuss the current understanding of the involvement of Asc metabolism in abiotic stress response. Moreover, the improved resilience to stressors in transgenic plants with altered enzymes involved in Asc biosynthesis and recycling will be discussed.

AB  - A new ground temperature profile sensor comprising of a row of thermistors enables a large number of equidistantly arranged measuring points. The row of thermistors was formed using a group of negative temperature coefficient thick film segmented thermistors connected in series. After that calibration of the DC thermistor resistance R was performed at room temperature and the sensor was placed in a hole drilled on the lawn. DC resistances R of the row of thermistors were measured versus depth z as a parameter and converted to actual temperature T(z) in the ground using the Steinhart-Hart equation. The temperature profile of the ground depending on deepness z and time t as a function T(t, z) was measured on different days during one year in the early morning and in the afternoon. The temperature at the ground surface was compared with the temperature of the deepest sensor point in the ground. Thermal diffusivity D of the ground was determined using measured data T(t, z) in the periods of steady ground temperatures. The new ground temperature profile sensor was realized to investigate the correlation between air and ground temperature, observation of ground temperature profile changes and heat exchange (heat transfer, diffusion, gradient, and heat flow direction) through the ground top layer and finally humidity estimation versus deepness.

AB  - We investigated metal accumulation in bamboo leaves during three seasons at three urban locations differing in pollution levels. The higher content of Cu, Pb, and Zn in the leaves was in correlation with the highest bioavailable content of these elements in the soil at the most polluted location. The content of leaf trace elements was higher in summer and autumn compared to spring. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed that Si accumulation in bamboo leaves was the highest in epidermis and vascular tissue, and was co-localized with trace metals. Analysis of phytoliths showed co-deposition of Al, C, and Si, implying the involvement of Si in metal detoxification. Compared to a common urban tree, linden, bamboo showed better capacity to maintain cellular redox homeostasis under deteriorated environmental conditions. The results suggest that bamboo can be efficiently used for biomonitoring of air and soil metal pollution and remediation in urban areas.
