In spite of the fact the crop is susceptible to salt stress but exhibits a considerable genotypic variability for salt tolerance. The present study was carried out to determine to which extent the maize genotypes with contrasting morphological traits respond to salt stress. Seven days old seedlings of thirty maize genotypes were exposed to NaCl stress of EC less than 4 (control), equal to 8 and 12 dS m-1 for further 28 days in a temperature controlled greenhouse. The salt stress imposition was completed in two increments every other day from the date of planting. At the age of 35 days, the seedlings were evaluated for contrasting morphological traits. The genotypes exhibited considerable variations for each of the 10 measured morphological and ionic traits. PCA was employed to identify the most suitable morphological trait to be used as selection criterion for salt tolerance. Based on the PCA results, dry shoot weight (DSW) was used to classify thirty maize genotypes into salt-tolerant-T, moderately tolerant-MT and salt sensitive-S groups. Two (2) out of thirty genotypes i.e. SB-9617 and FH-949 had the highest average of percent dry shoot weight (PDSW) values > 70%  were classified as salt tolerant (T). The fifteen (15) genotypes showed average of PDSW values in the range of 55-69.9 % were classified as moderately tolerant (MT) by indicating the sequence order of salt tolerance as YH-1898 > MMRI-yellow > S-2002 > FH-988 > FH-1292 > HC-12 > MS-2018 > NCEV-1270-7 > Pahari > Pearl White > FH-1114 > NCEV-1270-3 > Iqbal > NCEV-1297 > DK-6724. However, thirteen (13) out of total thirty (30) genotypes attained the average PDSW values <55% were classified as salt sensitive (S) following the sequence order as NCEV-1530-9 > Composite > FRI-22 > Azam > MS-2015 > P-1543 > Neelum > Afgoi > Malka-2016 > MS-1501 > HNG > NCEV-1270-5 > NCEV-7004. It was also noticed that the declared salt tolerance was positively correlated with dry shoot weight (DSW), shoot length (SL), stem diameter (SD), fresh shoot weight (FSW), fresh root weight (FRW), dry roots weight (DRW), root length (RL), leaf area per plant (LA), number of leaves per plant (NL) and K+/Na+ ratio. The highest positive Pearson correlation coefficients were determined in LA vs SD (r=0.900), DSW vs SD (r=0.899), SL vs DSW (r=0.891), SL vs FSW (r=0.890) and DSW vs FSW (r=0.887). Additionally, the salt tolerant (T) group of genotypes maintained higher K+/Na+ ratios compared to moderately tolerant (MT) and salt sensitive (S) groups. The results clearly showed that dry shoot weight (DSW) could be viable option to classify maize genotypes into different salt tolerance groups and to identify the most suited and best adapted salt tolerant genotype for cultivation in saline soils. Furthermore, this scientific information could help the plant scientists to improve and develop the new salt tolerant cultivar.","PeriodicalId":14407,"journal":{"name":"International Letters of Natural Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43893368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for most of the traits. Jalal TC-230-a and TC-63-1 took the maximum days to tasseling and Jalal TC-101-2 showed maximum days to anthesis. Maximum day to silking and anthesis silking interval were recorded in Jalal TC-94. Maximum plant height was observed in Jalal TC-33 (164.5 cm) and Kiramat TC-9-6-1 (141.50 cm). Maximum 100 kernal weight was recorded in Jalal TC-101-2 (40.55 g).

There is a piece of rising evidence that neonicotinoids exert cytotoxic effects in non-target organisms including vertebrate species such as mammals. Nevertheless, dose-limiting toxicity and molecular mechanisms of neonicotinoids' deleterious effects are still poorly understood. In accord to imidacloprid fate in the environment, the most of used pesticide is absorbed in the soil. Therefore, earthworms, which are prevailing soil organisms, could be considered as a target of neonicotinoids toxicity. The earthworm’s simple nervous system is a prospective model for neurotoxicological studies. We exposed earthworms to imidacloprid in a paper contact test with a doses range of 0.1‑0.4 µg/cm2 for 14 days. In the present work, we studied the imidacloprid effect on oxidative stress generation and neuronal marker neuron-specific enolase (NSE) expression. The exposure to imidacloprid induced a dose-dependent decrease in NSE. Both reactive oxygen species production and lipid peroxidation level were upregulated as well. Observed NSE decline suggests imidacloprid-caused disturbance in earthworm neuron cells. Obtained data have shown that relatively low doses of imidacloprid are potent to induce cytotoxicity in neurons. Furthermore, neurotoxicity could be recognized as one of an individual scenario of the general imidacloprid toxicity. Thus, presented results suggest the cytotoxicity of imidacloprid low doses in non-target organisms and hypothesize that NSE downregulation could be estimated as a biomarker of neonicotinoid cytotoxicity in a nervous system of non-insect species.","PeriodicalId":14407,"journal":{"name":"International Letters of Natural Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46760009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The material for work were collected during scientific research in June-July 2016–2017. The ichthyological sampling was carried out in the Samara Bay of the Zaporizhzhia (Dnipro) reservoir. Researches of structure of digestive system were conducted using histological methods, researches of nutrition were conducted using ichthyological and hydrobiological methods The height of the intestinal epithelium of the pumpkinseed`s juveniles varies from 15.5 microns to 51.9 microns and on average is 32.59 ± 9.03 microns, the area of secretory goblet cells of the intestine reaches 198.61 ± 36.55 μm2. It was revealed that the pumkinseed’s juveniles only feed on phytoplankton. Research results can be useful for further study on the fish nutrition, especially sexual matured. Also, nutrition studies can help to find biomeliorative methods to combat the pumpkinseed, because the species is in competition with industrially valuable species of fish for fodder.","PeriodicalId":14407,"journal":{"name":"International Letters of Natural Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48080262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
