Description:
The negative effects of continuous light (CL) seen in tomato plants are often claimed to be linked to effects of offsetting the diurnal rhythm. In this study we tested whether a short-term daily temperature drop prevents the decreased photosynthetic performance seen in tomato plants grown under CL. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plantlets were grown at constant temperature of 26°C under 16-h day (16D) or 24-h day (24D) at 150 μmol m-2 s-1 PPFD. Some 24D plants were treated daily by 2 h temperature drop from 26 to 10°C (24D+DROP). Physiological disorder, such as severe leaf chlorosis, a large decrease in net photosynthetic rate, maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry, and the effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry were observed in 24D, but not in 16D and 24D+DROP plants. The daily 2-h drop in temperature eliminated a negative effect of CL on photosynthesis and prevented the development of leaf chlorosis in tomato plants. This could be due to a change in carbohydrate metabolism as the short drop in temperature might allow maintenance of the diurnal rhythms., E. N. Ikkonen, T. G. Shibaeva, E. Rosenqvist, C.-O.

Description:
Influence of supra-optimal concentrations of K on growth, water relations, and photosynthetic capacity in pearl millet under severe water deficit conditions was assessed in a glasshouse. Nineteen-days-old plants of two lines, ICMV-94133 and WCA-78, of Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br. were subjected for 30 d to 235.0, 352.5, and 470.0 mg(K) kg-1(soil) and two water regimes (100 and 30 % field capacity). Increasing K supply did not alleviate the effect of water deficit on the growth of two lines of pearl millet since additional amount of K in the growth medium had no effect on shoot dry mass, relative growth rate, plant leaf area, net assimilation rate, or leaf area ratio, although there was significant effect of drought stress on these variables. Soil moisture had a significant effect on net photosynthetic rate (PN), transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, and water use efficiency of both pearl millet lines, but there was no significant effect of varying K supply on these variables. In WCA-78 an ameliorative effect of increasing supply of K on PN was observed under water deficit. Chlorophyll (Chl) a and b contents increased significantly in both lines with increase in K supply under well watered conditions, but under water deficit they increased only in ICMV-94133. Chl a/b ratios were reduced significantly in WCA-78 with increasing K supply under both watering regimes, but by contrast, in ICMV-94133 this variable was decreased only under water stress. Leaf water potential and osmotic potential of both lines decreased significantly with the imposition of drought. Leaf pressure potential in both lines increased with increase in K supply under water stress. Contents of total free amino acids in the leaves of both pearl millet lines increased significantly with increase in K supply under water stress. Potassium supply had no effect on leaf soluble sugars or soluble proteins. Considerable osmotic adjustment occurred in pearl millet plants experiencing water deficit under high K supply. and M.

Description:
Optická vlákna nemusejí sloužit jen pro přenos informace. Pokud do tenkého jádra ve středu vlákna umístíme chemické prvky schopné laserové akce (stimulované emise záření), můžeme generovat velmi intenzivní a přitom kvalitní svazek záření. Vláknové lasery začínají nahrazovat starší typy laserů a otevírají zcela nové obzory v řadě oborů: od lékařství, řezání a sváření v průmyslu až po obranné systémy., Optical fibres also have applications outside the optical telecommunications sphere. If the thin core inside the optical fibre is doped with chemical elements capable of laser action (stimulated emision of radiation), one can generate a very intense and high quality beam of radiation. Fibre lasers have begun to replace older types of lasers and therefore, opens up new horizons in many fields ranging from medicine, industrial cutting and welding to defence., Pavel Peterka, Pavel Honzátko, Ivan Kašík., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
