AB  - Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor semiconducting oxides, such as ferrites used as resistance-based temperature sensors, remain in research focus, as they are basic building blocks of many electronic systems. In this work we have investigated NTC thermistor properties of a ferrite composite (MnFe2O4/Fe2O3) ceramics obtained by solid-state sintering in the form of a bulk sample with a diameter of 8.7 mm and thickness of 1.8 mm. We obtained a thermal (material) constant (B10,90) of 4390 K from measured impedance at 100 Hz in the temperature range 10 - 90 C and temperature sensitivity (alpha) of -4.87 %/K at 25 oC, that was within the range required for a commercial NTC thermistor material (B between 2000 and 5000,  between -2 and 6% K at room temperature -25 oC). The influence of relative humidity (RH) in the range 30-90% at 25 and 50 C on impedance in the frequency range 50 Hz – 1 MHz was monitored. The obtained results showed that at 100 Hz the change in impedance was from 8.15 to 3.56 Mohm at 25 oC and 2.81 to 1.65 Mohm for RH from 30 to 90%, indicating that the humidity influence was reduced compared to other NTC thermistor materials. Future work will focus on applying this ferrite composite in flexible printed temperature sensors.

AB  - Emission  of greenhouse gases and infectious diseases caused by improper agro-waste disposal has gained significant attention in recent years. To overcome these hurdles, agro-waste can be valorized into valuable bioactive compounds that act as reducing or stabilizing agents in the synthesis of nanomaterials. Herein, we report a simple circular approach using Citrus reticulata Blanco (C. reticulata) waste (peel powder/aqueous extract) as green reducing and capping/stabilizing agents and Zn nitrate/acetate precursors to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) with efficient antimicrobial and photocatalytic activities. The obtained NPs crystallized in a hexagonal wurtzite structure and differed clearly in their morphology. UV-vis analysis of the nanoparticles showed a characteristic broad absorption band between 330 and 414 nm, belonging to ZnO NPs. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of ZnO NPs exhibited a Zn–O band close to 450 cm−1. The band gap values were in the range of 2.84-3.14 eV depending on the precursor and agent used. The crystallite size obtained from size-strain plots from measured XRD patterns was between 7 and 26 nm, with the strain between 16 and 4%.  The high crystalline nature of obtained ZnO NPs was confirmed by clear ring diffraction patterns and d-spacing values of the observed lattice fringes. ZnNPeelMan_400 and ZnNExtrMan have shown good stability as the Zeta potential was found to be around -20 mV and reduced particle aggregation. Photoluminescence analysis revealed different defects belonging to oxygen vacancies (VO+ and VO++) and zinc interstitial (Zni) sites. The presence of oxygen vacancies on the surface of ZnAcExtrMan_400 and ZnAcPeelMan_400 increased antimicrobial activity, specifically against gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis). ZnNextrMan with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.156 mg/ml was more effective against gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) revealing a high influence of particle size and shape on antimicrobial activity. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO NPs was examined by assessing the degradation of acid green dye in an aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. ZnAcPeelMan_400 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity (94%) within 90 minutes after irradiation compared to other obtained ZnO NPs.

AB  - In this paper, we have systematically studied the structural, morphological, and optical properties of Ni-doped TiO2, synthesized via a simple, cost-effective electrospinning method followed by calcination at 500 C. The nanofibers with a core-shell structure were relatively homogeneous, smooth and randomly oriented, and there were no significant differences in fiber diameters due to Ni2+ content. Core loss mapping using electron energy loss spectroscopy confirmed an even distribution of titanium and relatively uniform nickel in the fibers. It was found that doping with 0.5 mol.% Ni2+ decreased the rutile content, while doping with 1 mol.% Ni2+ resulted in a pure anatase phase with a significantly increased specific surface area (36.6 m2/g). Further increase in Ni2+ content (3-10 mol.%) not only prolonged the response of TiO2 nanofibers to visible light, but also increased the specific surface area (49.5 m2/g), decreased crystallite size (7 nm), and increased rutile content in TiO2 (33 wt.%). Photoluminescence analysis revealed that doping TiO2 with different amounts of Ni2+ leads to a gradual decrease of emission spectra intensity and red shift in the maxima positions. The XPS results confirmed that as the Ni2+ content enlarged, the Ti2+ and Ti3+ content increased significantly, effectively promoting the formation of oxygen vacancies. Raman analysis showed that an increase in nickel content (3-5 mol.%) led to a decrease and shift in peak intensity due to Ti3+ formation and also the possible presence of NiTiO3 phases. HRTEM analysis showed that Ni was doped into the substitution sites of both the anatase and rutile TiO2 lattice but had a stronger influence on the distortion of the anatase phase. The photocatalytic activity of Ni-doped TiO2 nanofibers was explored by analyzing the degradation of an antibiotic, oxytetracycline, monitored in laboratory conditions under visible light irradiation. After 60 minutes of irradiation, the degradation  of OTC with 1Ni-TiO2 reached 76.4% and with 10Ni-TiO2 70.5%.

AB  - In this work we have characterized and compared chitin sourced from exoskeleton of Tenebrio molitor larvae fed with polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap combined with bran in the ratio 1:1 with chitin sourced from larvae exoskeleton fed only with bran. Analysis of the frass by ATR-FTIR showed very similar spectra and confirmed degradation of the plastic feed components, while ATR-FTIR analysis of the exoskeleton verified the absence of any plastic residue. Deproteinization followed by demineralization produced 6.78 -5.29 % chitin, showing that plastic (polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap) in the larvae diet resulted in heavier insect exoskeleton, but yielded slightly less chitin, with the lowest value obtained for plastic kitchen wrap in the insect diet. The deacetylation degree of 98.17-98.61% was determined from measured ATR-FTIR spectra. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of -chitin with a crystallinity index of 66.5-62% and crystallite size 4-5 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis showed similar degradation curves for all chitin samples, with two degradation steps. These results show that chitin sourced from exoskeleton of T. molitor larvae fed with plastic (polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap) and contributing to significant biodegradation of major polluting materials can be a feasible and alternative source of chitin, further promoting a bio-circular economy.

AB  - Infections with phytoplasma present one of the most significant biotic stresses influencing
plant health, growth, and production. The phytoplasma ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ infects
a variety of plant species. This pathogen impacts the physiological and morphological characteristics of plants causing stunting, yellowing, leaf curling, and other symptoms that can lead to significant economic losses. The aim of this study was to determine biochemical changes in peony (Paeonia tenuifolia L.), mint (Mentha × piperita L.), and dill (Anethum graveolens L.) induced by ‘Ca. Phytoplasma solani’ in Serbia as well as to predict the impact of the biotic stress using artificial neural network (ANN) modeling. The phylogenetic position of the Serbian ‘Ca. Phytoplasma solani’ strains originated from the tested hosts using 16S rRNA (peony and carrot strains) and plsC (mint and dill strains) sequences indicated by their genetic homogeneity despite the host of origin. Biochemical parameters significantly differed in asymptomatic and symptomatic plants, except for total anthocyanidins contents in dill and the capacity of peony and mint extracts to neutralize superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, respectively. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed a correlation between different chemical parameters and revealed a clear separation among the samples. Based on the ANN performance, the optimal number of hidden neurons for the calculation of TS, RG, PAL, LP, NBT, •OH, TP, TT, Tflav, Tpro, Tant, DPPH, and Car was nine (using MLP 8-9-13), as it produced high r2 values (1.000 during the training period) and low SOS values. Developing an effective early warning system for the detection of plant diseases in different plant species is critical for improving crop yield and quality.

AB  - Healthy dietary habits with abundant fruit consumption may reduce prevalence and positively affect development and progression of various chronic diseases including obesity and insulin-resistance related diseases. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) represent a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, dietary fiber, and various bioactive polyphenolic compounds such as anthocyanins and flavonoids which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study we evaluated the effect of newly introduced strawberry cultivar „Aprika” supplemented in the form of lyophilized powder, on obesity-related metabolic alterations in high-fat-diet fed mice. We hypothesized that chronic (8 weeks) supplementation of lyophilized strawberries in the amount comparable to two servings per day in humans, would ameliorate insulin resistance associated with obesity in C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, we hypothesized that strawberry meal consumed at 7PM i.e. before active feeding period of mice (which corresponds to early breakfast in humans) would induce more pronounced beneficial effects compared to meal consumed at 7AM i.e. at the end of the active feeding period (which corresponds to late dinner in humans). High fat diet induced hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance and obesity; and disturbed hepatic insulin signaling. Lyophilized strawberries, only when consumed before feeding period, reduced body weight gain and improved insulin sensitivity induced by high-fat diet (evidenced by lower area under the curve after an intraperitoneal GTT, reduced serum insulin levels and an insulin resistance index (IR-HOMA). Strawberry meals consumed after active feeding period had no such effect. However, strawberries, regardless of the time of consumption, restored protein level of Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) in the liver and increased hepatic antioxidant enzymes level. In conclusion, strawberries improve insulin sensitivity and raise hepatic antioxidant capacity in mouse model of diet induced obesity. Nevertheless, more beneficial effects were achieved when strawberries were consumed before active feeding period, as an early breakfast

AB  - The impact of pruning techniques on the plant growth, yield components and fruit quality
traits of substrate-grown highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) cultivar 'Bluecrop'
were evaluated over four years (2019-2022). The orchard was planted in the village of Gruža 
(Knić municipality, Serbia) in the spring of 2017 with 5-year-old nursery plants using 113 l 
polypropylene pots spaced 0.8 m apart in a row and 3.0 m between rows (4,170 plants/ha). At 
the onset of the trial the ‘Bluecrop’ plants were 8 years old. The two pruning techniques were 
applied: i) conventional pruning (CP) - removal of the most unproductive canes at the center
of the canopy, and weak and excessively fruiting shoots from the top of bushes, and ii) 
sectorial pruning (SP) - only removal of basal canes in ¼ of the canopy each year. The 
average number of basal canes per bush was significantly lower in SP than in the CP 
treatment (14.4 vs. 17.4 canes bush-1
, respectively). SP plants had thinner canes than CP 
plants, which increased over the years of the study and reached a maximum diameter of 11.12 
mm in 2022. CP had a positive influence on fruit yield (5.98 kg bush-1
), which was associated 
with a 20% higher number of fruits per bush than in sectorial pruned plants. The fruit yield 
increased in the first three years of the study, reaching a maximum value in 2021 (7.57 kg per 
bush), whereas an opposite trend was observed in average fruit weight over the years, with the 
lowest value reached in the last harvest year (1.81 g). Fruit weight and soluble solids content 
were not affected by the pruning method, while the content of total acids, total anthocyanins 
and total phenolics were significantly higher in fruit harvested from the SP treatment (0.70%, 
37.04 mg eq mvd-3-G /100 g FW and 1.18 mg eq GA/g FW, respectively) along with the total 
antioxidant capacity (8.39 mg eq AsA /g FW).

AB  - The soybean is recognized worldwide as one of the most important crops due to its protein- and
oil-rich seeds. Several beneficial bacterial strains, including those of the genus Pseudomonas, are
known to increase plant yield and disease tolerance. The aim of this study was to test the potential of 15 strains of Pseudomonas spp. to promote soybean growth under field conditions. Strains were identified based on 16S rRNA and gyrB sequences, and strains belonging to risk group 1 were further analyzed. Selected strains were tested for plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties, biofilm formation and in vitro antimicrobial activity against various fungal pathogens. PGP activity indicators of the selected strains were evaluated on soybean plants grown in fertilizer-free soil and in soil treated with 70% and 100% fertilizers. Three Pseudomonas spp. strains, P. putida VB131A, P. fulva VB134B and P. rhodesiae VB143S, were selected as PGP candidates. All three strains showed the ability to produce IAA and solubilize phosphorus, while only P. rhodesiae VB143S showed strong lipase and protease activity. Only P. fulva VB134B showed the ability to
produce biofilm and hydrogen cyanide. All three strains showed in vitro antifungal activity against
Alternaria infectoria. P. fulva VB134B and P. rhodesiae VB143S showed antifungal activity against
Alternaria alternata and P. putida VB131A and P. rhodesiae VB143S against Epicoccum nigrum. Only P. fulva VB134B showed activity against Monilinia laxa. Statistically significant differences in
plant height were not observed regardless of the strain or soil treatment used. In terms of first
pod height, the P. fulva VB134B treatment was most effective when applied to soybeans grown
in 100% fertilized soil. In contrast, plants treated with P. rhodesiae VB143S and grown in 100% fertilized soil had the highest number of branches and pods per plant.

AB  - In August 2020, the unusual appearance of crown gall symptoms was observed on the
tobacco plants (hybrid PVH2310) grown in fields in the Golubinci (Srem district, Serbia) locality. The causal agent isolated from galls located on tobacco roots formed circular, convex, and glistening light blue colonies, and then dark to olive-green-colored bacterial colonies on a semi-selective D1 medium. Molecular analysis based on multiplex PCR and multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) using concatenated sequences of the atpD, dnaK, glnA, and rpoB genes as well as 16S rRNA identified Serbian tobacco isolates such as Agrobacterium tumefaciens (biovar 1). Two duplex PCR methods confirmed the presence of the virD2 and virC genes in tobacco isolates. Pathogenicity tests performed on carrot discs and squash fruits resulted in tumor/gall formation after 12 to 16 days post inoculation, respectively. Pathogenicity was also confirmed on tobacco plants, where isolates caused tumor development 21−25 days after inoculation. API 50 CH generated results regarding the biochemical features of the Serbian tobacco isolates. As A. tumefaciens (biovar 1) as a cause of tobacco crown gall has previously been documented solely in Japan, there is presently no data on its wider occurrence. Therefore, this first detailed investigation of A. tumefaciens isolated from naturally infected tobacco in Serbia will contribute to a better understanding of it at the global level.

AB  - BACKGROUND
Fungi absorb and solubilize a broad spectrum of heavy metals such as vanadium (V), which makes them a main route of its entry into the biosphere. V as vanadate (V5+) is a potential medical agent due to its many metabolic actions such as interaction with phosphates in the cell, and especially its insulin-mimetic activity. Antidiabetic activity of V-enriched fungi has been studied in recent years, but the biological and chemical bases of vanadium action and status in fungi in general are poorly understood, with almost no information on edible fungi. 
METHODS
This manuscript gives a deeper insight into the interaction of V5+ with Coprinellus truncorum, an edible autochthonous species widely distributed in Europe and North America. Vanadium uptake and accumulation as V5+ was studied by 51V NMR, while the reducing abilities of the mycelium were determined by EPR. 31P NMR was used to determine its effects on the metabolism of phosphate compounds, with particular focus on phosphate sugars identified using HPLC.
RESULTS
Vanadate enters the mycelium in monomeric form and shows no immediate detrimental effects on intracellular pH or polyphosphate (PPc) levels, even when applied at physiologically high concentrations (20 mM Na3VO4). Once absorbed, it is partially reduced to less toxic vanadyl (V4+) with notable unreduced portion, which leads to a large increase in phosphorylated sugar levels, especially glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and fructose-6-phosphate (F6P).
CONCLUSIONS
Preservation of pH and especially PPc reflects maintenance of the energy status of the mycelium, i.e., its tolerance to high V5+ concentrations. Rise in G1P and F6P levels implies that the main targets of V5+ are most likely phosphoglucomutase and phosphoglucokinase(s), enzymes involved in early stages of G6P transformation in glycolysis and glycogen metabolism. This study recommends C. truncorum for further investigation as a potential antidiabetic agent.

abstract = "BACKGROUND
Fungi absorb and solubilize a broad spectrum of heavy metals such as vanadium (V), which makes them a main route of its entry into the biosphere. V as vanadate (V5+) is a potential medical agent due to its many metabolic actions such as interaction with phosphates in the cell, and especially its insulin-mimetic activity. Antidiabetic activity of V-enriched fungi has been studied in recent years, but the biological and chemical bases of vanadium action and status in fungi in general are poorly understood, with almost no information on edible fungi. 
METHODS
This manuscript gives a deeper insight into the interaction of V5+ with Coprinellus truncorum, an edible autochthonous species widely distributed in Europe and North America. Vanadium uptake and accumulation as V5+ was studied by 51V NMR, while the reducing abilities of the mycelium were determined by EPR. 31P NMR was used to determine its effects on the metabolism of phosphate compounds, with particular focus on phosphate sugars identified using HPLC.
RESULTS
Vanadate enters the mycelium in monomeric form and shows no immediate detrimental effects on intracellular pH or polyphosphate (PPc) levels, even when applied at physiologically high concentrations (20 mM Na3VO4). Once absorbed, it is partially reduced to less toxic vanadyl (V4+) with notable unreduced portion, which leads to a large increase in phosphorylated sugar levels, especially glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and fructose-6-phosphate (F6P).
CONCLUSIONS
Preservation of pH and especially PPc reflects maintenance of the energy status of the mycelium, i.e., its tolerance to high V5+ concentrations. Rise in G1P and F6P levels implies that the main targets of V5+ are most likely phosphoglucomutase and phosphoglucokinase(s), enzymes involved in early stages of G6P transformation in glycolysis and glycogen metabolism.

AB  - Pharmaceutical and industrial utilization of synthetic chemicals has an immerse impact
on the environment. In that sense, novel chemicals with potential for industrial
application should be investigated for their behavior in reactions with hydroxyl radical,
simulating AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes). AOPs are known for being highly
effective in wastewater management and natural water remediation. In this paper,
exhaustive research on the radical scavenging activity of a newly synthesized
coumarin derivative (4HCBH), as a representative of the series of coumarin-
benzohydrazides with high antioxidative potential was conducted. This study took into
consideration the pH value range significant for practically all living organisms (pH=7.0-
8.5). According to the experimentally obtained results, the 4HCBH showed an increase
in radical scavenging activity, following the slight increase in pH values, which
suggested that the formation of anionic form of 4HCBH is responsible for its antiradical
activity. Further investigations led to the postulation of a novel mechanistic approach
called Sequential Proton Loss Electron Transfer – Radical-Radical Coupling (SPLET-
RRC), in which, by a series of steps, a new, stable compound was formed.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the product generated through SPLET-RRC
showed lower toxicity than the parent molecule.

zirconium ions (Zr4+) were synthesized by combining the sol-gel process and 
electrospinning method, and calcined at 500 °C. The morphological, structural and 
optical properties of pure and Zr-doped TiO2 nanofibers were investigated. According to 
the XRD and FTIR analyses, the addition of Zr as a dopant suppressed the 
transformation of anatase to rutile phase. Scanning electron microscopy showed that all 
fibers were smooth, fragile and randomly oriented after the calcination process. HRTEM 
analysis revealed that Zr4+ ions were incorporated at the substitutional sites in the anatase 
TiO2 crystalline lattice. The photocatalytic efficiency for degradation of methylene blue 
(MB) was examined for both pure and Zr-doped TiO2 samples. Nanofibers doped with 
1% of Zr4+ ions have shown the highest photocatalytic activity of 98%, wich can be 
explained by considering lower PL intensity in the PL spectrum of this sample, 
indicating suppressed electron-hole recombination.

AB  - Pure, samarium (Sm3+) and zirconium (Zr4+) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) 
nanofibers were synthesized using the electrospinning method followed by 
calcination at 500 °C for 1 h. The structure, morphology and optical properties of the 
obtained nanofibers were investigated as a function of different Sm3+ and Zr4+ 
contents (0.5–5 mol%). XRD and FTIR analysis showed that addition of Sm or Zr 
suppressed the transformation of anatase to rutile. After calcination all fibers were 
smooth, fragile and randomly oriented. HRTEM analysis revealed that doping with 
Sm didn’t affect the TiO2 crystal lattice whilst Zr4+ ions replaced the substitutional 
sites in the anatase crystalline lattice. The effects of Sm3+ and Zr4+-dopant content 
and different doses of photocatalyst on the photodegradation of methylene blue 
(MB) were monitored under UV-light illumination. TiO2:0.5%Sm3+ and 
TiO2:1.0%Zr4+ nanofibers have shown the highest photocatalytic activity of 97% 
and 98% due to red shifting of the band gap towards visible light in the case of Sm 
and suppressed electron-hole recombination shown in recorded PL spectra in the

AB  - Systematic analysis of electrical characteristics of BaCe0.75In0.25O3-δ (BCI25) sintered sample was performed in a
dry and a wet argon atmosphere in the 250 ◦C–700 ◦C temperature range. The water vapor sensing properties of
BCI25 porous film and its response and recovery times were investigated under different conditions of temperature
and water vapor concentration. The 30 μm thick film obtained from the powder calcined at 1050 ◦C
exhibited sensitivity comparable to that of the sintered sample with a significantly shorter response and recovery
times. While the sensitivity of the film gradually decreased with a decrease in partial pressure of water vapor (p
(H2O)), a noticeable sensitivity was still observed at p(H2O) of 200 Pa. Decrease in conductivity depended
logarithmically on the partial pressure of water with the slope of 0.52 that is close to the theoretical value. After
several cycles, the reusability test proved an almost unchanged ratio between the impedance value in the dry and
the wet Ar atmosphere (p(H2O) = 2.34 kPa), which implied that BCI25, having good stability and sensitivity, is a
promising high-temperature humidity sensor.

AB  - Numerous methods have been utilized for molecular detection, including optical, calorimetric, acoustic, and techniques based on changes in electrical properties, such as metal oxide semiconductor sensors [1,2]. Recent research endeavors have led to a significant rise in sensitivity, detecting parts per billion (ppb) [3], but the challenges of selectivity and cross-sensing remain crucial areas of investigation. Developing a gas sensor with high selectivity to efficiently analyze multi-gas mixtures would be of great significance, with potential applications in various fields such as technology, environmental control, biology, and medicine.
Quantum sensors are a promising new technology for the detection of gas mixtures. They offer a number of advantages over traditional methods, including high sensitivity, selectivity, and response time. In the presentation, we propose a new method based on the resonant interaction of dipole molecules with ac fields, in the presence of a dc electric and magnetic field that creates Zeeman and Stark splitting of molecular levels specific to certain molecules, ensuring selectivity [4].
In this talk, we present some preliminary experimental results obtained for the molecule NO on the use of quantum sensors for the detection of gas mixtures. Our results demonstrate the potential of quantum sensors for a variety of applications in gas sensing. We believe that quantum sensors have the potential to revolutionize the field of gas sensing.

They offer a number of advantages over traditional methods, including high sensitivity, selectivity, and response time. In the presentation, we propose a new method based on the resonant interaction of dipole molecules with ac fields, in the presence of a dc electric and magnetic field that creates Zeeman and Stark splitting of molecular levels specific to certain molecules, ensuring selectivity [4].
In this talk, we present some preliminary experimental results obtained for the molecule NO on the use of quantum sensors for the detection of gas mixtures. Our results demonstrate the potential of quantum sensors for a variety of applications in gas sensing. We believe that quantum sensors have the potential to revolutionize the field of gas sensing.

AB  - The aim of this study was to compare newly introduced mid- and late-ripening strawberry 
cultivars ('Arianna', 'Tea' and 'Federica') with the commercially important cultivar 'Joly' to identify 
the best-performing ones for extended market supply. A field study was carried out in a 
strawberry plantation situated in the municipality of Šid (Serbia), in the period of 2021–2022. The 
orchard was planted in July 2020 in double rows on beds covered with black polyethylene foil. 
Cultivars were evaluated for their flowering and ripening time, yield components, and plant 
growth, as well as for biometrical fruit traits (fruit weight, index of fruit shape) and nutritional 
value (the content of soluble solids - SSC, total acids - TA, vitamin C, total anthocyanins –TACY, 
total phenolics - TPC and total antioxidant capacity - TAC). This research revealed that the earliest 
average beginning of ripeness was recorded in cultivar 'Arianna' (May 19), while the latest was in 
cultivar 'Federica' (May 29). The number of branch crowns and leaves per plant was significantly 
lower in cultivars 'Tea' and 'Federica' compared to the cultivar 'Joly', whereas no significant 
differences in plant height were observed among the tested cultivars. 'Tea' was superior in terms 
of highest productivity (947 g/plant and 4.17 kg/m2
), followed by the cultivar ‘Joly’ (865 g/plant 
and 3.81 kg/m2). Contrary to this, the lower yield was found in the two other tested cultivars 
'Federica' (698 g/plant and 3.07 kg/m2) and 'Arianna' (773 g/plant and 3.40 kg/m2). The most 
productive cultivar 'Tea' had the largest fruit weight (29.7 g) and it was also characterized by the 
lowest content of TA, TACY, and TPC (0.56%, 18.5 mg PG-3-G eq 100 g-1 FW and 0.72 mg GA eq/g FW, respectively). Significantly higher amounts of soluble solids were found in all newly 
introduced cultivars in comparison to the standard cultivar 'Joly' (9.15%). The differences in TAC 
levels between 2021 and 2022 were significant showing higher values in the second year of trial with the dominance of cultivar 'Arianna' (1.24 mg AsA eq g-1 FW).

AB  - Cabbage is one of the most important vegetables from Brassicaceae family to which 
biofertilisers is increasingly applied following the current trend in the cabbage organic 
farming. The main goal of our study was to examine whether solely applicated biofertilisers 
enhance head weight and other morphological parameters in cabbage. Experiment with three 
Bejo Zaden cultivars ('Farao' F1, 'Tiara' F1, and 'Excalibur' F1) were conducted under the open 
field conditions from April to June 2019. Two different microbiological fertilisers, Organic 
balance and FitoHelp, were applied foliar, six times during the vegetation period, with a 
battery sprayer. After harvest, several parameters were estimated: head weight, width and 
height, number of leaves, internal core height and width. The results showed the highest 
value of head weight (1264.89 g), head width (15.06 cm), head height (15.57 cm), number of 
leaves (22.56), internal core height (8.01 cm) and internal core width (3.51 cm) in cultivar 
'Excalibur' F1 compared to other two cultivars for fresh market. Application of both fertilisers 
led to increased levels of all tested parameters compared to control. Furthermore, fertiliser 
Organic balance showed the highest impact on all tested parameters, resulting in increasing 
value of head weight by 78.6%. This study revealed that mixed culture fertiliser showed 
greater impact in terms of head weight, number of leaves, and internal core width compared 
to fertiliser containing a single strain of bacteria. Accordingly, with an exception in head and 
internal core height, all examined factors showed statistically significant impact on tested 
parameters, including their interaction.

AB  - Insulin resistance is a state where a normal amount of insulin can’t provoke an appropriate metabolic response. Insulin promotes membrane trafficking of the glucose transporter GLUT4 from the storage vesicles to the plasma membrane in white adipose tissue. Adipocytes use glucose for lipogenesis and store the energy as lipid droplets. If adipocytes are unable to uptake glucose, a chronic state of hyperglycemia is developed, with severe health consequences. Polyphenols are natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents. Food rich in polyphenols has been suggested to exert an ameliorative effect on restoring insulin sensitivity, with the main identified target being AMPK1,2, one of the key sensors of intracellular energy. Here, we tested the effect of methanol extracts from three newly introduced strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, Duch.) cultivars – 'Aprika', 'Sandra' and 'Quicky' on glucose metabolism in 3T3-F442A adipocytes. It was determined that 'Aprika' has the highest total phenolic content, relative to the other two cultivars. After 72-h exposure, none of the strawberry cultivars affected adipocyte cell growth significantly. Protein expression analysis of the differentiated adipocytes suggested 'Aprika', but not the other two cultivars, significantly increased the AMPK expression, as well as GLUT4, thus increasing glucose uptake. Strawberry extracts did not significantly affect the differentiation of adipocytes (SIRT1 and PPARγ), nor the fatty acid synthesis (ACC). Conclusively, the 'Aprika' methanol extract with high phenolic content exerts an ameliorative effect on glucose uptake, presumably through activation of the AMPK-dependent mechanism of GLUT4 trafficking. The systemic effects of the ‘Aprika’ cultivar should be further investigated. Implications of the research are decreased hyperglycemia in obese and diabetic patients, by the introduction of the 'Aprika' strawberry cultivar into everyday diet. References 1.

AB  - (1) The nutritional quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) fruits, among others, is largely maintained by the presence of soluble sugars and organic acids. As the primary products of photosynthesis, they are energy depots in plants, necessary for the construction of cell constituents, but also serve as precursors of aromatic compounds and signaling molecules. (2) In this study, fruits of 25 strawberry cultivars were qualitatively and quantitatively characterized concerning individual sugars and organic acids by HPLC, FT-ICR-MS, and MS imaging analysis. In addition, the total quality index (TQI), as a novel mathematical model, was used to compare all individual parameters evaluated to obtain a quantitative single score, as an indicator of overall fruit quality. (3) Regardless of a large number of cultivars and monitored parameters that were studded, several cultivars stood out in terms of selected primary metabolites, such as ‘Rumba’, ‘Jeny’, and ‘Sandra’, while the latter had the best TQI score. (4) Intercultivar variations in sugars and organic acids profiles, along with other bioactive compounds, should be considered for selection of promising cultivars with improved naturally occurring nutraceutical traits. Besides the search for a pleasant taste, increased awareness of healthy nutrition resulted in heightening consumer demand for high-quality fruit.

AB  - Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is a leguminous plant cultivated mainly in south-east Asia and used as an ingredient in local cuisine. Its principal nutritional value is contained in its constituents such as starch, proteins, (poly)phenols, and natural antioxidants. Fluorescence spectroscopy is increasingly used as a method of choice for food analysis; due to the presence of different fluorophores originating from aromatic amino acids and secondary metabolites, it is useful for proteins and phenolics detection. In this study, the total protein and phenolic contents of mung bean seed extracts were determined using the Bradford method and Folin–Ciocalteu (FC) reagent, respectively. Antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. Fluorescence spectra were recorded for a series of excitation-emission wavelengths. Further, we used the multivariate analysis on the recorded excitation-emission fluorescence matrix of the studied samples. The results showed the presence of three different fluorescence components, with the position of the emission maximum corresponding to the fluorophore of proteins (component 1 with excitation/emission peak maxima at Ex 290/Em 345 nm) and phenolics (component 2 - Ex 295/Em 395 nm and component 3 - Ex 350/Em 450 nm). This fluorescence-based method could be a useful approach for estimating the nutrient properties of leguminous food.

AB  - Food is a complex matrix of proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and other components. Various analytical methods are currently used for food testing. However, most of the used methods require sample preprocessing and expensive chemicals. New analytical methods are needed for quick and economic measurement of food quality and safety. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a simple and quick method to measure food quality, without sample preprocessing. This technique has been developed for food samples due to the application of a front-face measuring setup. Fluorescent compounds–fluorophores in the food samples are highly sensitive to their environment. Information about molecular structure and changes in food samples is obtained by the measurement of excitation–emission matrices of the endogenous fluorophores and by applying multivariate chemometric tools. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy is an advantageous screening mode used in food analysis. The fluorescent markers in food are amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine; the structural proteins collagen and elastin; the enzymes and co-enzymes NADH and FAD; vitamins; lipids; porphyrins; and mycotoxins in certain food types. The review provides information on the principles of the fluorescence measurements of food samples and the advantages of this method over the others. An analysis of the fluorescence spectroscopy applications in screening the various food types is provided.

AB  - Honey bees have a very important role in pollinating plants, in addition to honey production. Bee
diseases are one of the reasons of a significant decrease in bee colonies in the world in recent years. Honey samples originating from hives with different infestations with N. ceranae were analyzed. Total phenolic content and total protein content were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay and the Bradford assay, respectively. Fluorescence spectroscopy combined with PARAFAC was used to determine the spectral components originating from proteins (PFSC1) and phenolics (PFSC2) in honey samples, and their ratios were calculated. Phenols and proteins content in the honey samples, obtained by spectrophotometric quantification, decreases with increasing infestation levels in the respective hives infected with N. ceranae. A negative correlation was obtained for the ratio of PARAFAC components PFSC2/PFSC1 and the level of infestation with N. ceranae in honey samples. These results indicate that fluorescence spectroscopy combined with PARAFAC could be used as an optical tool for non-invasive and rapid screening of honey to estimate bee health status.

AB  - Monocots and dicots differ in their boron (B) requirement, but also in their capacity to accumulate silicon (Si). Although an ameliorative effect of Si on B toxicity has been reported in various crops, differences among monocots and dicots are not clear, in particular in light of their ability to retain B in the leaf apoplast. In hydroponic experiments under controlled conditions, we studied the role of Si in the compartmentation of B within the leaves of wheat (Triticum vulgare L.) as a model of a high-Si monocot and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) as a model of a low-Si dicot, with the focus on the leaf apoplast. The stable isotopes 10B and 11B were used to investigate the dynamics of cell wall B binding capacity. In both crops, the application of Si did not affect B concentration in the root, but significantly decreased the B concentration in the leaves. However, the application of Si differently influenced the binding capacity of the leaf apoplast for excess B in wheat and sunflower. In wheat, whose capacity to retain B in the leaf cell walls is lower than in sunflower, the continuous supply of Si is crucial for an enhancement of high B tolerance in the shoot. On the other hand, the supply of Si did not contribute significantly in the extension of the B binding sites in sunflower leaves.
