Sažetak U ovom radu analizirane su populacije vrste Hypericum rumeliacum Boiss sa jedanaest različitih lokaliteta na području južne i istočne Srbije: Tupižnica (Preki kamen), Tresibaba (selo Sirovičnjak), Boljevac (selo Zlot), Prokuplje (selo Trnava), Niš (selo Kamenica), Niš (Delijski vis), Niš (Humska čuka), Kuršumlija (selo Rudare), Kuršumlija (selo Dankoviće), Trgovište (Vražji kamen), Preševo (selo Miratovac). Analiza je obuhvatila anatomske karakteristike vegetativnih organa, kao i mikromorfološke karakteristike listova. Dobijeni podaci su statistički obrađeni. Rezultati univarijacione analize varijansi pokazuju da skoro svi istraživani karakteri imaju veliki statistički značaj, izuzev dužine i širine stoma naličja lista. Sva tri testa multivarijacione analize varijansi pokazuju postojanje statistički značajnih razlika na nivou grupnih karaktera analiziranih populacija vrste. Analiza glavnih komponenti (PCA) dobijenih morfo-anatomskih podataka istraživanih populacija H. rumeliacum pokazuje da 66,084% ukupne varijabilnosti objašnjavaju 6 glavnih komponeti. Diskriminantna kanonična analiza morfo- anatomskih karaktera lista i stabla istraživanih populacija H. rumeliacum pokazuje razdvajanje populacija, ali i delimično njihovo preklapanje. Ove analize prate u većoj meri intraspecijsku diferencijaciju vrste H. rumeliacum na varijetete: var. blepharophyllum, var. rumeliacum i var. tenuifolium. Ključne reči: Hypericum rumeliacum, anatomija lista i stabla, površinske strukture lista, intraspecijska diferencijacija Abstract In this paper work were analyzed populations Hypericum rumeliacum Boiss from eleven different localities from the territory of south and east Serbia: Tupižnica (Preki kamen), Tresibaba (selo Sirovičnjak), Boljevac (selo Zlot), Prokuplje (selo Trnava), Niš (selo Kamenica), Niš (Delijski vis), Niš (Humska čuka), Kuršumlija (selo Rudare), Kuršumlija (selo Dankoviće), Trgovište (Vražji kamen), Preševo (selo Miratovac). Analyses included anatomical characteristics of vegetative organs, as well as micromorphological characteristics of the leaves. The obtained data were statistically analyzed. The results of Univariate Analysis of Variance show that almost all research characters have great statistical significance, except the abaxial stomata lenght and width. All three tests of Multivariate Analysis of Variance showed a statistically significant difference at the level of group characters of the analyzed population of the species. Principal Component Analysis obtained morpho-anatomical data of the studied populations H. rumeliacum shows that 66.084% of the total variability explained by the 6 main components. Canonical discriminant analysis morpho-anatomical characters of leaf and stem of the studied populations H. rumeliacum demonstrates separation of populations, and their partially overlap. These analyzes follow to a greater degree of intraspecific differentiation of the H. rumeliacum species in the varieties: var. blepharophyllum var. rumeliacum and var. tenuifolium.

Karakteristike famiije Hypericaceae Familija Hypericaceae obuhvata biljke pretežno rasprostranjene u tropskim i suptropskim predelima. U umerenom pojasu uglavnom su prisutne vrste roda Hypericum (Stjepanović- Veseličić, 1972). Najprisutniji anatomski karakter su šizogene sekretorne šupljine koje su prisutne u lišću svih rodova familije u vidu neprozračnih ili prozračnih tačaka. Ove šupljine ispunjene su pigmentom koji pripada antocijaninima. Sekretorni kanali su prisutni u floemu, ponekad i u primarnoj kori, periciklu, srži, kao i u peteljci i lisnim nervima. Lišće je uglavnom dorzoventralno spljošteno, sa stomama koje su uglavnom okružene sa dve ili više ćelija. Dlake su retko brojne, uglavnom su proste, jednoćelijske. Žlezdane dlake ne postoje. Kutikula je često debela, posebno kod vrsta sa kožastim listovima. Prisutni su i solitarni i grupisani kristali kalcijum oksalata (Metcalfe i Chalk, 1950). Cvetovi su ciklični, dvopolni, aktinomorfni. Perijant se sastoji iz po 5 listića čašice i krunice koji imaju ljuspaste (krljušaste) nektarije. Prašnika ima u velikom broju i grupisani su u 5-2 snopića. Retko ima manje od 10 prašnika. Oplodnih listića ima 5-3. Plodnik je potpuno ili nepotpuno izdeljen u okca, sa velikim brojem semenih zametaka. Plod je čaura ili koštunica. Pripadnici ove familije su obično sa naspramnim ili pršljenasto raspoređenim listovima u kojima se često nalaze šizogene

    A PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF PLANT DISTRIBUTION IN OHIO.* JOHN H. SCHAFFNER. The following data are presented as a preliminary basis for field work in determining the natural plant areas of Ohio. It is hoped that the botanists of the State will begin active study of local conditions with a view to determine natural or transition boundaries as well as cataloging local associations. The distri- bution lists are based on herbarium material and more than 15 years of sporadic botanizing in the state. Of course, distribution at present indicates to a considerable extent merely the distri- bution of enthusiastic botanists and their favorite collecting grounds. Nevertheless, enough has been done to indicate in a rough way the general character of our plant geography. The kind of data most important in indicating characteristic areas are as follows:— 1. Meteorological data. 2. Geology, including the nature of the surface rock and soil. 3. Physiography and topography. 4. The actual distribution of characteristic species of plants and to some extent of animals. In Ohio, the following important maps may be studied in this connection:— Meteorology. By Otto E. Jennings in Ohio Naturalist 3: 339-345, 403-409, 1903. Maps I-XII. By J. Warren Smith in Bull. Ohio Agr. Exp. Station No. 235, 1912. Figs. 3-14. Geology. By J. A. Bownocker, A Geological Map of Ohio. 1909. Topography. The maps of the topographic survey, not yet completed. Various geological reports. The eastern half of Ohio is a part of the Alleghany Plateau. The western half belongs to the great interior plain. In Ohio, the Alleghany Plateau consists of a northern glaciated region and a southern non-glaciated region.

A few of these were not happy in their location and promptly died, or did so poorly as to warrant their removal. A few new varie- ties were added to the original group, but for the most part these trees have been growing there s~nce the trial plot was first laid out. The collection has been of special interest to home owners in the suburban areas of Boston, who naturally are interested in small ornamental trees. It has also been of considerable interest to the tree wardens of various towns throughout New England, for here one may see many of the best small trees growing side by side, so that comparisons can be easily made. Recently this plot has been of interest to the Electric Council of New England, a group of utility companies which provide various electric services for the public in addition to stringing electric lines for these services. When the right kinds of trees are planted properly in the right places along the streets and highways, there need be but little competition between the trees and the wires.

We examined the possible antigenotoxic/genotoxic properties of methanolic extract of H. olympicum subsp. olympicum (HOE) on human lymphocytes by employing sister chromatid exchange, micronucleus and comet assay and analyzed its chemical composition by GCxGC-TOF/MS. The anti-growth activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines was assessed by using the ATP viability assay. Cell death mode was investigated with fluorescence staining and ELISA assays. The major components of the flower and trunk were determined as eicosane, heptacosane, 2-propen-1-ol, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone and α-muurolene. HOE caused significant DNA damage at selected doses (250–750 µg/ml) while chromosomal damage was observed at higher concentrations (500 and 750 µg/ml). HOE demonstrated anti-growth activity in a dose-dependent manner between 3.13–100 µg/ml.

Prieto, Application of artificial neural networks to the prediction of the antioxidant activity of essential oils in two experimental in vitro models, Food Chemistry, Volume 118, Issue 1, 1 January 2010, Pages 141-146, ISSN 0308-8146, DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2009.04.070. (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6T6R-4W6XYK9- 1/2/708e866c3d7f370d81917ed145af525a) Abstract: Introduction The antioxidant properties of essential oils (EOs) have been on the centre of intensive research for their potential use as preservatives or nutraceuticals by the food industry. The enormous amount of information already generated on this subject provides a rich field for data-miners as it is conceivable, with suitable computational techniques, to predict the antioxidant capacity of any essential oil just by knowing its particular chemical composition. To accomplish this task we here report on the design, training and validation of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) able to predict the antioxidant activity of EOs of known chemical composition.Methods A multilayer ANN with 30 input neurons, 42 in hidden layers (20 --> 15 --> 7) and one neuron in the output layer was developed and run using Fast Artificial Neural Network software. The chemical composition of 32 EOs and their antioxidant activity in the DPPH and linoleic acid models were extracted from the scientific literature and used as input values. From the initial set of around 80 compounds present in these EOs, only 30 compounds with relevant antioxidant capacity were selected to avoid excessive complexity of the neural network and minimise the associated structural problems.Results and discussion The ANN could predict the antioxidant capacities of essential oils of known chemical composition in both the DPPH and linoleic acid assays with an average error of only 3.16% and 1.46%, respectively.

  • E3.1A Mediterranean Tall Humid Inland Grassland
    European Red List of Habitats - Grasslands Habitat Group E3.1a Mediterranean tall humid inland grassland Summary This habitat comprises rush- and grass-dominated vegetation of seasonally water-logged soils, both base- rich and acidic, throughout the Mediterranean basin. Though not dependent on grazing, it can be a valuable source of fodder for cattle and sheep during summer when other pastures are dried up. Intensification of farming and conversion to arable cropping can threaten this habitat but more widespread is loss to increased human settlements and their associated infrastructure, including changes to the distinctive hydrology on which the habitat depends. Reduction in extent is not substantial, though likely to continue, and the biotic and abiotic habitat quality is declining. Synthesis The small amount of available quantitative data supports an evaluation of Least Concern (LC), despite a continuing decline in quantity and quality and of several threats the habitat faces. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination No sub-habitats have been distinguished for further analysis. Habitat Type Code and name E3.1a Mediterranean tall humid inland grassland Scirpus holoschoenus-dominated grassland, Spain (Photo: Javier Loidi). Vegetation dominated by Schoenus nigricans in a calcareous, damp depression near Lake Vrana, Croatia (Photo: John Janssen). Habitat description Mediterranean humid herb communities dominated by rushes (Scirpus holoschoenus) and tall grasses, common in depressions with wet soils, on both siliceous and calcareous terrain. The water table remains permanently near to the surface but is subject to strong seasonal fluctuations, experiencing a lower level during summer and a higher in the rainy season, although the habitat is never or very rarely flooded.
