Transfer of uidA gene into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Suzana ŠKOF, Zlata LUTHAR

ABSTRACT

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of tobacco leaf disks with two Agrobacterium tumefaciens (A.t.) strains LBA4404 and EHA105 and four plasmids pCAMBIA1201, pCAMBIA1301, pCAMBIA2301 and pCAMBIA3201 was used for the introduction an uidA reporter gene and corresponding plant selection genes (hpt, npt or bar gene) into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Havana 38). Our goal was to study the efficiency of transformation protocols with tobacco plant. The transformation efficiency of each combination of two Agrobacterium strains and four plasmids was evaluated by histochemical analysis of b -glucuronidase (GUS) activity in transformed tobacco plants. The highest rate (P ? 0.05) of GUS activity was observed with tobacco infected with A.t. strain LBA4404 carrying pCAMBIA1301 (33.2%) and pCAMBIA1201 (27.8%). When tobacco was infected with A.t. EHA105, there was no regeneration of transformed tobacco plants (except with pCAMBIA1301, 21.7%). The A.t. strain EHA105 was therefore observed to be less appropriate for transformation of tobacco leaf disks.

VNOS uidA GENA V GENOM TOBAKA (Nicotiana tabacum L.) Z BAKTERIJO Agrobacterium tumefaciens

V listne diske tobaka (Nicotiana tabacum L.) kultivarja Havana 38 smo z metodo posredne transformacije z dvema sojema Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 in EHA105 v kombinaciji s štirimi plazmidi pCAMBIA1201, pCAMBIA1301, pCAMBIA2301 in pCAMBIA3201 vnesli testni uidA gen in selekcijske gene (hpt, npt oz. bar gen) z namenom testiranja uspešnosti transformacijskih sistemov na tobaku. Z metodo histokemičnega testa aktivnosti b -glukoronidaze (GUS) smo ugotavljali odstotek transformiranih regenerantov tobaka pri vseh kombinacijah soja bakterije in plazmidov. Ugotovili smo, da je najprimernejša kombinacija bakterije in plazmida s statistično značilno (p ? 0,05) najvišjim odstotkom transformiranih regenerantov A.t. soj LBA4404 s pCAMBIA1301 (33,2%) ali s pCAMBIA1201 (27,8%). Soj A.t. EHA105 se je izkazal za manj primernega za delo s tobakom, saj razen v kombinaciji s pCAMBIA1301 (21,7%) nismo dobili transformiranih regenerantov.

Competition for nutrients between phytopathogenic and antagonistic soil fungi

Franci CELAR, Milica KAČ

ABSTRACT

Five phytopathogenic fungi were used in the experiments, three of the Fusarium genus (F. solani, F. sambucinum, F. moniliforme) together with Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Of five agonistic fungi tested, four belong to the Trichoderma genus (T. longibrachiatum, T. harzianum, T. viride, T. koningii ), additionally Gliocladium roseum was included in the study. The results of the experiments show that compared to the phytopahogenic fungi, in most cases the antagonistic fungi are capable of using the nitrogen as ammonium at statistically significant higher rates during the first six days of cultivation. Further on, it has been shown, that they begin by using the nitrogen as ammonium and switch to the nitrate form of nitrogen when the former is being nearly used up. As far the nitrogen in the nitrate form is considered, the situation is reversed: in most cases the phytopathogenic fungi of the Fusarium genus perform a statistically significant quicker use of the nitrogen in the form of nitrate compared to the antagonistic fungi. The fungi R. solani and S. sclerotiorum first use nitrogen in the form of ammonium and if this one is getting short, they switch to the nitrate form of nitrogen. The fungi from the Fusarium genus use the two sources of nitrogen simultaneously. Even at the beginning, when there is plenty of nitrogen in the ammonium form available they use the nitrite form of nitrogen at the same time. Owing to the rate of using glucose from the growth medium the phytopathogenic fungi can be divided into two groups compared to the antagonistic fungi. The fungi from the Fusarium genus use the glucose at much higher rates compared to the antagonistic fungi. Fungi S. sclerotiorum in R. solani behave differently since their rates of using the glucose from the growth medium are statistically significantly lower.

TEKMOVANJE ZA HRANILA MED FITOPATOGENIMI IN ANTAGONISTIČNIMI TALNIMI GLIVAMI

V poskusih smo uporabili pet fitopatogenih gliv, od tega tri iz rodu Fusarium (F. solani, F. sambucinum, F. moniliforme) in Rhizoctonia solani ter Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Od antagonističnih gliv smo preizkušali glive iz rodu Trichoderma (T. longibrachiatum, T. harzianum, T. viride, T. koningii ) in Gliocladium roseum). Rezultati našega poskusa kažejo, da v večini primerov antagonistične glive v primerjavi s fitopatogenimi do šestega dne statistično značilno hitreje izrabljajo amonijsko obliko dušika. Značilno je tudi, da najprej izrabljajo iz gojišča amonijsko obliko dušika, ko pa te začne primanjkovati preidejo na nitratno obliko. Pri izrabi nitratne oblike dušika pa je slika povsem obrnjena. Fitopatogene glive iz rodu Fusarium v primerjavi z antagonističnimi glivami v večini primerov statistično značilno hitreje izrabljajo iz gojišča nitratno obliko dušika. Glivi R. solani in S. sclerotiorum najprej izrabljata iz gojišča amonijsko obliko dušika in ob pomanjkanju le te preideta na nitratno obliko. Glive iz rodu Fusarium pa že na začetku, ko imajo v gojišču na voljo še dovolj amonijske oblike dušika, hkrati izrabljale tudi nitratno obliko dušika. Glede hitrosti izrabe glukoze iz gojišča lahko fitopatogene glive v primerjavi z antagonističnimi razdelimo v dve skupini. Glive iz rodu Fusarium porabljajo glukozo dosti hitreje kot antagonistične. Od njih pa se diametralno razlikujeta glivi S. sclerotiorum in R. solani, ki porabljata glukozo v primerjavi z vsemi antagonističnimi glivami statistično značilno počasneje.

The formation of assimilation apparatus in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)

Jana Kalinová, Jan Moudrý

ABSTRACT 

In the years 1998 – 2000 the field experiments with two buckwheat varieties (Emka (tetraploid), Hruszowska (diploid)), were performed. We followed the development of assimilatory apparatus during the vegetation period and the influence of nitrogen fertilization (50 kg.ha-1) and variety on its forming. The basic modifying component applied to the production of assimilatory apparatus is of course the weather in a given year along with the soil conditions. Nitrogen fertilization increases leaf size, prolongs the life of leaves and thereby the persistence of maximum leaf area on plant, and supports indeterminate growth of buckwheat, which exhibits production of new branches and inflorescences. Larger leaf area in dense growth is not enough photosynthetically active and inhibits pollination of flowers. Newly created flowers compete with one another for nutrients and final number of achenes per plant declines. Higher utilization of applied fertilization was observed at the tetraploid variety.

NASTANEK ASIMILACIJSKE POVRŠINE PRI AJDI (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)

V letih 1998 do 2000 so bili opravljeni poljski poskusi z dvema kultivarjema ajde, tetraploidno ‘Emko’ in diploidno ‘Hruszowsko’. Spremljan je bil razvoj asimilacijske površine med rastjo in vpliv gnojenja z dušičnim gnojilom (50 kg.ha-1). Poleg talnih razmer je bil najpomembnejši vpliv vremena. Gnojenje z dušičnim gnojilom vpliva na povečanje velikosti listov ter podaljša trajanje listov in s tem ohranja trajanje maksimalne listne površine rastlin; gnojenje vpliva tudi na nedeterminantno rast, s tem nastajajo novi stranski poganjki in socvetja. Povečana listna površina pri gostem sklopu rastlin ne omogoči ustrezne fotosintetične aktivnosti in ovira oploditev cvetov. Novo nastali cvetovi konkurirajo za asimilate, s tem se zniža končno število oreškov (semen) na rastlino. Tetraploiden kultivar je pokazal boljši izkoristek uporabljenega gnojila.

Optimisation of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis of hop wilt (Verticillium alboatrum and Verticillium dahliae)

S. RADIŠEK, J. JAKŠE, B. JAVORNIK

ABSTRACT 

Hop wilt causes traheomycotic fungi Verticillium alboatrum Reinke & Berthold and Verticillium dahliae Klebahn. On hop, the disease appears in mild and lethal forms, depending on the virulence of isolates, sensitivity of cultivars and ecological factors. Identification of the disease and its pathotypes is important for suitable phytosanitary measures and disease resistance breeding. Methods in traditional detection and diagnosis are usually lengthy and laborious, which could be improved and supplemented by molecular methods. This paper presents a modification of the AFLP method suitable for analysis of Verticillium species. By means of such AFLP, we were able to distinguish the two Verticillium species and found polymorphisms between mild and lethal forms of Verticillium alboatrum from hop.

OPTIMIZACIJA METODE AFLP (Dolžinski polimorfizem restrikcijskih fragmentov) PRI ANALIZI HMELJEVE UVELOSTI (Verticillium alboatrum in Verticillium dahliae)

Hmeljevo uvelost povzročata traheomikozni glivi Verticillium alboatrum Reinke & Berthold in Verticillium dahliae Klebahn. Bolezen se na hmelju pojavlja v blagi in letalni obliki, kar je odvisno od virulentnosti izolata, občutljivosti kultivarja in ekoloških razmer. Identifikacija povzročitelja bolezni in njegovih patotipov je izrednega pomena predvsem pri izbiri ustreznih fitosanitarnih ukrepov in v žlahtnjenju rastlin. Metode, ki se uporabljajo v diagnostiki so včasih lahko zamudne in zahtevne za delo, kar pa lahko dopolnimo z uporabo molekulskih markerjev, ki omogočajo neposredno analizo genoma proučevanega organizma. AFLP je novejša molekularna tehnika, katero smo uporabili pri analizi genoma omenjenih gliv. V prispevku je predstavljena metodika in problemi pri prilagoditvi tehnike proučevanemu organizmu. Z AFLP metodo smo določili razlike med obema vrstama gliv iz rodu Verticillium, ter razlike med manj in bolj virulentnimi izolati glive Verticillium alboatrum na hmelju.

V sedemdnevnem inkubacijskem poskusu pri T=18°C z neporušenimi vzorci rjavih tal iz Apaške doline so različni odmerki nitrata in dodatek glukoze v posameznih globinah tal statistično značilno vplivali na hitrost redukcije nitrata (p=0,1, p=0,05 ali p=0,01). Ta je bila v globinah 10-20 cm, 30-40 cm, 50-60 cm in 90+ cm, kjer so talni horizontih Ap, A1,2, Apog in C od 0,23±0,005 do 3,23±0,7 mg N-NO3/kg suhih tal/dan, od 0,042±0,003 do 1,63±0,20 mg N-NO3/kg suhih tal/dan, od 0,15±0,04 do 1,7±0,1 mg N-NO3/kg suhih tal/dan ter od 0,004±0,001 do 1,05±0,09 mg N-NO3/kg suhih tal/dan. Linearni modeli vpliva koncentracije dodanega nitrata na hitrost redukcije nitrata se med seboj statistično značilno razlikujejo po globinah (p=0,01). Z dodatkom glukoze se je hitrost redukcije nitrata v peščeni matični podlagi povečala za 5,5 krat v zgornjem talnem horizontu pa za 2,3 krat.

ABSTRACT

Nitrate reduction in deep soil horizons

In seven days of the continuous incubation experiment at T=18°C with undisturbed soil samples of brown soils from the Apače Valley different dose of nitrate and additional glucose in some soil depth have statistically different impact on nitrate reduction rate (p=0.1, p=0.05 or p=0.01). This was in soil depths of 10-20 cm, 30-40 cm, 50-60 cm, and 90+ cm which correspond to soil horizons Ap, A1,2, Apog and C from 0.23±0.005 to 3.23±0.7, from 0.042±0.003 to 1.63±0.20, from 0.15±0.04 to 1.7±0.1 and from 0.004±0.001 to 1.05±0.09 mg N-NO3/kg of dry soil/day respectively. Linear models of added nitrate concentration impact on nitrate reduction rate vary statistically distinguishing among soil depths (p=0.01). With additional glucose, the nitrate reduction was 5.5 times faster in the gravel parent material and 2.3 times faster in the uppermost soil layer.

Miscible displacement of nitrate and ammonium in soil columns

Vesna ZUPANC, Miran VESELIČ, Peter CEPUDER

ABSTRACT

The displacement of nitrate fertilizer by distilled water under saturated conditions and at different average flow velocities in one – dimensional soil columns is studied to observe the behavior of the nitrogen in transport processes. Breakthrough curves of nitrate were comparing to the ammonium breakthrough curves symmetrical with all aggregate sizes. The biggest influence on the nitrate retention had 0.63–2 mm fraction, where 30–50 % of the total mass was preserved. The biggest influence on the ammonium transport had its ability to fixate on the negative charged particle surfaces. Breakthrough time for nitrate and ammonium was the shortest with 2–4 mm aggregate size.

IZVLEČEK 

V nalogi smo na aeroponskem sistemu preskušali rast solate sorte 'Vanity', s štirimi različnimi razmerji NO3 : NH4+ dušika v hranilni raztopini (100:0 (A), 0:100 (B), 50:50 (C) in 86,8:13,2 (D)). Koncentracija dušika je bila pri vseh obravnavanjih enaka. Poskus z dvema ponovitvama je potekal v zavarovanem prostoru na laboratorijskem polju Biotehniške fakultete v Ljubljani od 18.6. 1999 do 19.7. 1999 in od 29.5. 2000 do 29.6. 2000. Na koncu poskusa smo merili in ocenjevali celotno maso, višino in širino glav pred in po čiščenju, zbitost glave, razvojno fazo rastline ter dolžino in maso korenin. Najvišja povprečna masa je bila dosežena pri prvi ponovitvi poskusa v obravnavanju z razmerjem 86,8 % nitratne in 13,2% amonijske oblike dušika in je znašala 743 g/rastlino. Rezultati statistične analize so pokazali, da so bili pri obravnavanju s 100 % amonijske oblike dušika statistično značilno (p ? 0,01) nižji pridelki kot v ostalih obravnavanjih, med katerimi statistično značilnih razlik ni bilo.

LETTUCE (Lactuca sativa L.) GROWN IN AN AEROPONICAL SYSTEM WITH NO3 AND NH4+ IN NUTRIENT SOLUTIONS

With four different ratios NO3 : NH4+ (A, 100:0; B, 0:100; C, 50:50; D, 86.8:13.2) in nutrient solution on aeroponical system growth of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivar 'Vanity' was conducted. Nitrogen concentration was the same in all treatments. The trial was carried out in a greenhouse on the laboratory field of Biotehnical Faculty in Ljubljana from June 18, 1999 to July 19, 1999 and from May 29, 2000 to June 29, 2000. At the end of experiment we measured or estimated total mass, height and width before and after cleaning, the compactness of heads, length and mass of roots, and the developmental phase. The highest average weight of 743 g/plant was measured during the first season in lettuce fed with 86.8% nitrate and 13.2% ammonium nitrogen. Treatment with 100% ammonium showed a significantly (p ? 0.01) lower harvest compared to others which did not show significant differences.

Comparison of fertilisation with organic or mineral fertilisers in a three year vegetable crop rotation

Marijana Jakše and Rok Mihelič

ABSTRACT

In a 3-years field trial, 6 vegetable crops (cabbage, spinach, lettuce, fennel, onion, Chinese cabbage) were grown, supplied with different fertilisers: farm yard manure (FYM), compost of hens' droppings, shredded wood and bark (COMP), and mineral fertiliser with one (NPK-2) or two applications (NPK-1) of nitrogen during the growing season of the crop. The amount of added nitrogen was adjusted in all plots, except with the control plot (?), where no fertilisers were applied. The experimental field was located in Ljubljana, on ameliorated alluvial brown clay loam. Soil taken from different layers was 17 times sampled and analysed for soil mineral N (SMN) Yields of crops and their components were determined. They were evaluated upon visual appearance (market quality), and storage ability. The whole yield produced in 3 years on plots fertilised with inorganic fertilisers was almost twice as high as with COMP and 40% higher compared to FYM. In the first year, N was immobilised with COMP. N recovery during the entire trial was only 8% with COMP, 37% with FYM, 65% with NPK-2 and 81% with NPK-1. Cabbage contained higher dry matter content (DM) when fertilised with compost. However, the percentage of dry matter did not significantly differ in crops grown in the 2nd and 3rd year. In despite of lower DM, cabbage and Chinese cabbage formed harder heads with NPK treatments. There was no difference within treatments in the storage ability of onion.

PRIMERJAVA GNOJENJA Z ORGANSKIMI ALI MINERALNIMI GNOJILI V TRILETNEM ZELENJADARSKEM KOLOBARJU

V 3-letnem poljskem poskusu smo gojili 6 zelenjadnic (zelje, špinačo, solato, sladki janež, čebulo in kitajski kapus), ki smo jih gnojili z različnimi vrstami gnojil: hlevskim gnojem (FYM), kompostom iz kokošjega gnoja, lubja in zmletega lesa (COMP) in mineralnim gnojilom (NPK-1 in NPK-2). N smo dali v enem odmerku, razen pri NPK-1, kjer smo odmerek N delili na dva obroka. Skupna količina dodanega dušika je bila pri vseh obravnavanjih enaka, razen pri kontroli (?), kjer nismo gnojili. Poskus je potekal v Ljubljani (laboratorijsko polje BF), na melioriranih glineno ilovnatih tleh. V času trajanja poskusa smo 17 krat izmerili talni mineralni dušik, izmerili pridelek in določili njegovo tržno kakovost ter skladiščno obstojnost. Skupen svež pridelek, pridelan v 3 letih, je bil na parcelah gnojenih z mineralnim gnojilom skoraj dvakrat večji kot na parcelah gnojenih s kompostom in več kot za 40% večji kot na parcelah gnojenih s hlevskim gnojem. V prvem letu je pri COMP prišlo do imobilizacije N. Navidezni izkoristek dušika v treh letih je pri gnojenju s kompostom znašal le 8%, medtem ko je bil pri gnojenju s hlevskim gnojem 37%, pri NPK-2 65% in pri NPK-1 81%. Zelje je vsebovalo več suhe snovi (SS) pri gnojenju s kompostom, medtem ko se pridelki v 2. in 3. letu niso več statistično značilno razlikovali po % sušine. Navzlic manjši SS sta zelje in kitajski kapus oblikovala bolj sklenjene glave pri mineralnem gnojenju. Vrsta gnojila ni vplivala na skladiščno obstojnost čebule.

Effect of different nitrogen amounts in nutrient solution on plant growth and nitrate accumulation in aeroponically grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa l.)

Nina KACJAN MARŠIĆ, Jože OSVALD

ABSTRACT

The influence of different nitrogen amounts in nutrient solution on growth, development and nitrate content was studied in aeroponically grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Three successive experiments were conducted in 1999 from April to September, in an aeroponic system. The lettuce plants cv. Vanity were grown in aeroponics using four different amounts of nitrogen in nutrient solutions. The pH level was maintained between 5.5 and 6.5, and the EC between 1.8 in 2.2 mS/cm. Fresh weight measurements were made on all the material. Differences among averages of fresh weight were statistically significant in the first experiment. The maximum final fresh weight average in treatment 8 mM was 1000 g. In the second and the third experiment, the largest amount of nitrogen 12 mM NO3-N, also affected the growth of lettuce plants. The low level of nitrate in the nutrient solution significantly increased the fresh weight of the final roots regarding the level of nitrate in standard nutrient solution (12 mM NO3-N). The highest NO3- concentration in older leaves was recored in plants grown in nutrient solutions with 8 mM and 12 mM NO3-N. The low enough NO3- concentration was found in leaves of lettuce treated with nutrient solution with 4 mM NO3-N, in all three experiment.

Vpliv količine dušika v hranilni raztopini na rast in kopičenje nitrata v rastlinah pri aeroponsko gojeni solati (Lactuca sativa L.) cv. "Vanity"

Vpliv količine dušikovih spojin v hranilni raztopini na rast, razvoj in kopičenje nitrata v rastlinah smo proučevali pri aeroponsko gojeni solati (Lactuca sativa L.). V obdobju od aprila do septembra 1999 smo zasnovali tri poskuse na aeroponskem sistemu. Rastline solate cv. Vanity smo gojili na aeroponskem sistemu, z različno vsebnostjo dušikovih spojin v hranilni raztopini. Vrednost pH hranilne raztopine smo ohranjali med 5,5 in 6,5, elektroprevodnost med 1,8 in 2,2 mS/cm. V prvem poskusu je zmanjšanje koncentracije nitratnega dušika v hranilni raztopini statistično značilno povečalo maso sveže snovi v povprečenm pridelku solate. Največja povprečna masa sveže snovi v pridelku solate iz obravnavanja 8 mM NO3-N je bila 1000 g. Statistično značilne so bile tudi razlike v masah sveže snovi solate iz drugega in tretjega poskusa. Majhna vsebnost dušikovih spojin v hranilni raztopini je statistično značilno povečala maso sveže snovi korenin, glede na vzorce solate, gojene v standardni hranilni raztopini (12 mM NO3-N). Največjo vsebnost nitratnih ionov so imeli zunanji listi vzorcev solate iz obravnavanja 12mM in 8mM NO3-N. V mladih listih je bila vsebnost nitrata majhna. Dovolj majhno vsebnost nitratnih ionov so imeli zunanji listi vzorcev solate iz obravnavanja 4 mM NO3-N, v vseh treh poskusih.

Chestnut propagation with leafy cuttings: preliminary results

Gregor OSTERC, Anita SOLAR, Franci ŠTAMPAR

ABSTRACT

The possibility of the propagation of the two chestnut hybrids (Castanea crenata ´ Castanea sativa) Marsol and Maraval with leafy cuttings in the fog-system was studied. The shoots of five year-old in vitro propagated mother plants were used as a cutting source. The cuttings were cut in the middle of June 2000, and put into the peat/sand (3:1) mixture in the greenhouse with the fog-system. Before being put into the substrate the cuttings were treated with 0.5 % IBA and 10 % Euparen on talkum basis. The rooting process was observed during the propagation season. First roots were visible at both clones already after 3 weeks. The average rooting was between 15 % and 20 % for both clones, in some cases the rooting rate reached 50 % at Marsol after 6 weeks. The formation of callus was strong, especially for the clone Maraval.

Speciation of lead, zinc and cadmium in contaminated soils from Mežica valley

Domen LEŠTAN and Helena GRČMAN

ABSTRACT

A knowledge of the total amount of heavy metals in soil is not enough to assess the environmental impact and decide on suitability of polluted soils for agronomic use. Six-step sequential extraction procedure was used to determine the distribution of Pb, Zn and Cd among various fractions of soils from six locations in Mežica valley. Phyto-available heavy metals: water soluble heavy metal species and fraction exchangeable from colloids to soil solution, accounted in average for 0.23-1.14% of Pb, 0.36-3.88% of Zn and 0-8.2% of Cd. The majority of heavy metal species was found to reside in non phyto-available carbonate fraction, fraction bound to Fe and Mn oxides, fraction bound to organic matter and residual fraction. Among soils tested the significant variations in distribution of heavy metals among different soil fractions were observed, presumably due to differences in soils characteristics.

Poznavanje skupne vsebnosti težkih kovin v tleh ni dovolj za ugotavljanje vpliva težkih kovin na okolje in odločanje o primernosti tal za kmetijsko rabo. S šest-stopenjskim postopkom sekvenčne ekstrakcije smo ugotavljali speciacijo Pb, Zn in Cd v tleh iz šestih lokacij v Mežiški dolini. Delež rastlinam dosegljivih težkih kovin, torej vodotopnih in izmenljivih oblik, je bil v povprečju za Pb med 0,23-1,14%, za Zn med 0,36-3,88% in za Cd med 0-8,2%. Ugotovili smo, da je večinski delež težkih kovin rastlinam nedostopen: vezan na karbonte, Fe in Mn okside, organsko snov oz je ostanek po petih ekstrakcijah. Med vzorci tal, ki smo jih preučevali, smo ugotovili precejšnje razlike v porazdelitvi težkih kovin med posamezne frakcije tal. Verjetni razlog za to so razlike med tlemi v pedoloških značilnostih.

Wasp Neodryinus typhlocybae Ashmead – successful predator and parasitoid for reducing the population of flatid planthopper (Metcalfa pruinosa Say) also in Slovenia

Ivan ŽEŽLINA, Lea MILEVOJ, Vincenzo GIROLAMI

ABSTRACT

Metcalfa pruinosa Say has been present in Slovenia for more than a decade and has been gradually, but constantly spreading also because of the reason that for the time being we do not have an efficient autochthonous natural enemy that could limit such great population in number and its spreading to the central parts of the country. The wasp Neodryinus typhlocybae Ashmead is in the North and South America and after its introduction to Italy also in Europe the main antagonistic organism for the limitation of spreading of flatid planthopper. With the introduction of the wasp to Slovenia we have wanted to limit the spreading of flatid planthopper, to reduce the population and so to establish a partly biological balance between these two species. In the research we were observing time adjustment between the hatching of the wasp and the appearance of different evolutionary stages regarding flatid planthopper and the appearance of the second incomplete generation of the wasp which is important for predatory and parasitoid effect. We were also doing research into successful settlement of the wasp into a natural habitat on two locations in the Primorska region.

Osica Neodryinus typhlocybae Ashmead – tudi v Sloveniji uspešen predator in parazitoid pri omejevanju populacije medečega škržata (Metcalfa pruinosa Say)

Medeči škržat (Metcalfa pruinosa Say) je v Sloveniji navzoč že več kot desetletje in se počasi, a vztrajno širi tudi zato, ker tu zaenkrat še ni učinkovitega avtohtonega naravnega sovražnika, ki bi lahko omejeval številčno velike populacije in širjenje medečega škržata v notranjost države. Osica Neodryinus typhlocybae Ashmead je na območju obeh Amerik ena izmed glavnih, od njenega vnosa v Italijo, pa tudi v Evropi glavni antagonistični organizem za omejevanje širjenja medečega škržata. Z vnosom osice v Slovenijo smo želeli omejiti širjenje medečega škržata, znižati številčnost populacij in tako vzpostaviti delno biološko ravnotežje med tema vrstama. V raziskavi smo ugotavljali časovno usklajenost izleganja osice s pojavljanjem različnih razvojnih stadijev medečega škržata in pojavljanje druge nepopolne generacije osice, ki je pomembna za zagotavljanje uspešnega predatorskega in parazitoidnega učinka. Ugotavljali smo tudi uspešnost naselitve osice v naravno okolje na dveh lokacijah na Primorskem.

Dohodek na kmetijah

Matija KOVAČIČ, Andrej UDOVČ, Bernarda ČEBULJ

IZVLEČEK

V prispevku obravnavamo problematiko merjenja gospodarske uspešnosti kmetij. Pri tem izhajamo iz teorije, ki kmetijo obravnava kot celoto proizvodno-tehničnih dejavnikov in kmečkega gospodinjstva, ki si pogosto z dodatnimi zaposlitvami svojih članov zunaj kmetije zagotavlja potreben dohodek (teorija kmečkega gospodinjstva). Po kratkem pregledu metod ugotavljanja dohodka na kmetijah in ekonomskega položaja kmetij v Sloveniji in nekaterih EU državah predstavimo problem primerjalnega merjenja dohodka iz kmetijske proizvodnje na kmetijah. Definiramo pojem “gospodarska moč kmetije” in “indeks gospodarske moči kmetije – IGM” kot merilo tega pojava. Na koncu demonstriramo uporabo tega merila na modelnih primerih kmetij.
 
ABSTRACT

INCOME ON THE FAMILY FARMS

In the paper the problematic of measuring the economic effectiveness of the family farms is discussed. The base of the discussion is the theory, which treats the family farm as a whole of production-technical factors and farm household, and where household members often, with their non-agricultural activities, provide necessary income for its operation. After short overview of different methods for estimating farm income and economic status of family farms in Slovenia and some EU countries, the problem of comparative measuring of farm income from pure agricultural activities is discussed. Then the concept of “economic power of farm” and “index of economic power of farm –IGM” as its measure are introduced. At the end the usage of that index is demonstrated on example of some model farms.

Growing technique and cultivar choice as factors of the occurrence of lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae Regel) on summer lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)

Stanislav TRDAN and Dragan ŽNIDARČIČ

ABSTRACT

In the 2000-2001 period the economic importance of lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae Regel) on seven cultivars of summer lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), grown on or without black plastic mulch was studied. Though the differences between the cultivars in the infection with the fungus were obvious, it was concluded that there is no immediate connection between the degree of infection with the pathogen and the yield of the lettuce. There was also no immediate connection between the degree of infection with the fungus and the growing technique used.

Statistična analiza prostorske in časovne razporeditve padavin v vegetacijskem obdobju v Sloveniji v obdobju 1961-2000

Damijana KASTELEC

IZVLEČEK

Predstavljena je prostorska in časovna razporeditev padavin vegetacijskega obdobja (april-september) v Sloveniji. Analiza je narejena na osnovi mesečnih padavinskih podatkov iz obdobja 1961-2000. V tem obdobju je v Sloveniji delovalo v posameznih letih zelo različno število opazovalnih postaj. Za vsako leto posebej je narejena prostorska interpolacija padavin vegetacijskega obdobja v pravilno mrežo celic z ločljivostjo 1 km. Za prostorsko interpolacijo je uporabljena metoda splošni kriging, ki upošteva odvisnost količine padavin od geografskih spremenljivk in hkrati tudi njihovo prostorsko povezanost. Na osnovi interpoliranih vrednosti so izračunana dolgoletna povprečja in narejena je primerjava prostorske razporeditve padavin za različno dolgi obdobji (1961-2000 in 1961-1990). Poleg kart dolgoletnih povprečij padavin vegetacijskega obdobja so podane tudi karte prostorske razporeditve 10-tega, 25-tega, 75-tega in 90-tega centila padavin vegetacijskega obdobja za obdobje 1961-2000, ki podajajo celovitejšo predstavo o časovni in hkrati prostorski porazdelitvi padavin, kot sama povprečja. Za analizo časovnega trenda padavin vegetacijskega obdobja so izračunana prostorska povprečja padavin vegetacijskega obdobja po posameznih povodjih, za območja z nadmorsko višino nižjo od 800 m, za vsako leto posebej. Analiza je pokazala, da v izbranem obdobju ni statistično značilnega trenda v količini padavin v vegetacijskem obdobju.

ABSTRACT

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF SPATIAL AND TIME DISTRIBUTION OF PRECIPITATION IN THE VEGETATION PERIOD IN SLOVENIA IN THE PERIOD 1961-2000

We present the spatial and time distribution of the precipitation in the vegetation period (April-September) in Slovenia. The analysis is made on the basis of the monthly precipitation data from the period 1961-2000. Very different number of observation stations worked in particular year in mentioned period. We made spatial interpolation of precipitation in the vegetation period for each year separately. The interpolated values of precipitation was calculated into the regular grid with 1 km resolution. We used universal kriging method, which consider the dependence of precipitation on some geographical variables and also their spatial correlation. We calculated the long period means of precipitation on the basis of interpolated values for separate years and then we made the comparison of spatial distribution of means for two different periods (1961-2000 in 1961-1990). We presented also the maps of 10-th, 25-th, 75-th and 90-th centile of precipitation in vegetation period for the period 1961-2000. The time series analysis for the period 1961-2000 we made on the basis of spatial means of interpolated precipitation values for each watershed separately. There is no significant trend in precipitation amount in vegetation period in Slovenia in the period 1961-2000.

Changes in the minimum and maximum temperatures in Slovenia over the last 50 years

Lučka KAJFEŽ-BOGATAJ

ABSTRACT

Long term monthly temperature data from four stations Kočevje, Ljubljana, Maribor and Rateče-Planica in Slovenia have been analysed. First trend analysis was performed on the years 1951 to 2000 annual and seasonal mean maximum and minimum temperature and diurnal temperature range (DTR) and secondly on last 30 years (1971 to 2000). Increasing trends of approximately 0.9°C/50 years in the annual mean temperatures were found at all stations. During the last 50 years an increase in annual mean maximum and mean minimum temperature has occurred also. In general the minimum daily temperatures have increased at a larger rate than the maximum daily temperatures, resulting in a slight decrease in the long-term diurnal temperature range. These results are consistent with trends over much of the global landmass. But in the last 30 years at all stations the increase in mean maximum was faster than in the mean minimum, resulting in an increase in mean diurnal temperature range except for autumn months. Whether DTR is increasing or decreasing depends very much upon the choice of time series under investigation so careful interpretation of trend is essential in the case of climate change detection.

Keywords: Climate change, diurnal temperature range; temperature trends, Slovenia

Spremembe minimalne in maksimalne temperature zraka v Sloveniji v zadnjih 50 letih

V delu je podana analiza dolgoletnih mesečnih ter letnih minimalnih in maksimalnih temperatur zraka za štiri postaje v Sloveniji: Kočevje, Ljubljano, Rateče-Planico in Maribor. Preučevan je bil linearni trend temperaturnih podatkov na več časovnih vrstah in sicer za vse postaje za obdobje od leta 1951 do 2000, od 1971 do 2000 in za Ljubljano še za stoletno obdobje od 1901 do 2000. Tako povprečne letne kot tudi minimalne in maksimalne temperature zraka imajo v zadnjih desetletjih statistično značilen naraščajoč trend. Najbolj so se temperature zraka povečale v urbanih okoljih, manj pa v ruralnem okolju. V Mariboru se je povprečna letna temperatura v zadnjih 50 letih povečala za 1.7°C, v Ljubljani za 1.4°C, v Kočevju in Ratečah pa za 0.8°C. V obdobju 1951-2000 so se minimalne temperature zraka zviševale hitreje kot maksimalne, zato se je nekoliko zmanjšal dnevni temperaturni razpon (DTR). V obdobju zadnjih 30 let pa se DTR ne spreminja bistveno, razen v jesenskem obdobju. Rezultati potrjujejo domnevo, da moramo biti pri interpretaciji linearnih trendov zelo previdni, saj so ti močno odvisni od dolžine in izbire časovne vrste.

Kakšna bo klima 21. stoletja?

Lučka KAJFEŽ-BOGATAJ

IZVLEČEK

Od začetka industrijske revolucije pa vse do danes dobiva antropogen vpliv na klimo daljnoročne globalne razsežnosti. Energijska bilanca Zemlje se spreminja tudi kot posledica človeških aktivnosti, saj te spreminjajo transmisijske lastnosti atmosfere. Spremenjeno sestavo atmosfere povzročajo kurjenje fosilnih goriv, promet, gnojenje, emisije tovarn in podobno. Človek pa ob tem spreminja tudi rabo tal in s tem fizikalne lastnosti površja. Meritve meteoroloških spremenljivk v zadnjih 50 do 100 letih že kažejo na spremembe nekaterih klimatskih značilnosti. Povprečna globalna temperatura na zemeljskem površju se je v 20. stoletju zvišala za 0.6 ± 0.2 °C. Po vsej verjetnosti so bila v globalnem merilu 90. leta najtoplejše desetletje in leto 1998 najtoplejše leto odkar imamo zanesljivejše instrumentalne podatke. Tudi v Sloveniji se je povprečna temperatura zraka v zadnjih 50 letih dvignila za 1± 0.6 °C. Klimatski modeli napovedujejo v prihodnjih 100 letih, da se bo povprečna temperatura na zemeljskem površju dvignila za 1.5 do 6 °C, pri čemer bo ogrevanje izrazitejše pozimi in v severnih geografskih širinah. Količina padavin naj bi se globalno povečala, a ne v vseh regijah. Zavedati pa se moramo, da so dolgoročne klimatske napovedi še nezanesljive, še zlasti bodoči scenariji podnebja v regionalni prostorski skali.

ABSTRACT

THE CLIMATE IN THE 21st CENTURY

Human activity has perturbed the Earth's energy balance by altering the properties of the atmosphere and the surface. Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations are expected to have significant impacts on the world's climate on a timescale of decades to centuries. Evidence from long-term monitoring studies is now accumulating and suggests that the climate of the past few decades is anomalous compared with past climate variation. Global mean surface temperatures have increased for more than 0.6°C since the late 19th century. The 20th century has been anomalously warm, with the 1990s the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year this millennium. In Slovenia average air temperature has increased by 1± 0.6 °C in the last 50 years. Climate models predict that the mean annual global surface temperature will increase 1.5–6°C by 2100, with warming more pronounced at higher latitudes. Relatively greater increases are expected in winter than in summer. All climate models predict an increase in global mean precipitation, but some regions might get drier. Forecasts of climate change are inevitably uncertain, especially multi decadal forecasts and regional climate change predictions.

ABSTRACT

THE DETERMINATION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BASE TEMPERATURE FOR CALCULATING GROWING DEGREE DAYS

The purpose of this paper is to describe of determining the base temperature, explore its significance as a source of error in heat unit system and determine the base temperature for some plants in Slovenia. Methods which have been proposed for the determination of the base temperature are: 1. Least standard deviation in growing degree days, 2. Least standard deviation in number of days, 3. The smallest coefficient of variation in number of days, 4. Regression coefficient method, 5. Method of development rate. With method 1 base temperatures were calculated for leaf unfolding (beech, birch, horse-chestnut, linden, spruce) and flowering (dandelion, crocus, snowdrop, orchardgrass, willow, hazel, elder, lilac, acacia, linden, plum tree) for seven locations in Slovenia. It is apparent that there is variation in base temperature for different locations.
