Molecular and Cytogenetic Analysis of rDNA Evolution in Crepis Sensu Lato
Get PDFAlthough Crepis was the first model plant group in which chromosomal changes were
considered to play an important role in speciation, their chromosome structure and evolution have
been barely investigated using molecular cytogenetic methods. The aim of the study was to provide a
better understanding of the patterns and directions of Crepis chromosome evolution, using comparative
analyses of rDNA loci number and localisation. The chromosome base number and chromosomal
organisation of 5S and 35S rDNA loci were analysed in the phylogenetic background for 39 species of
Crepis, which represent the evolutionary lineages of Crepis sensu stricto and Lagoseris, including
Lapsana communis. The phylogenetic relationships among all the species were inferred from nrITS
and newly obtained 5S rDNA NTS sequences. Despite high variations in rDNA loci chromosomal
organisation, most species had a chromosome with both rDNA loci within the same (usually short)
chromosomal arm. The comparative analyses revealed several independent rDNA loci number gains
and loci repositioning that accompanied diversification and speciation in Crepis. Some of the changes
in rDNA loci patterns were reconstructed for the same evolutionary lineages as descending dysploidy
The rapid decrease of biodiversity studies in well-researched areas – the case of Poland
Get PDFLoss of biodiversity is one of the most urgent issues for humankind. Therefore, lots of research try to win the race for diversity recognition before it’s lost studying the biodiversity hotspots. The problem rises in some well-studied parts of the world, where due to the nonchalant scientific policy of governments, biodiversity science seems to be far behind the ongoing change in ecosystems. The case of Poland (Central Europe) serves as an example of long term, erroneous policy leading to the constant fall of diversity-related branches of science

Investigation of Modified Auxetic Structures from Rigid Rotating Squares
Get PDFAuxetic structures exhibit unusual changes in size, expanding laterally upon stretching
instead of contracting. This paper presents this effect in a failsafe mode in structures made of rigid
squares. We applied the concept of auxetic structures made of rigid rotating squares (from Grima
and Evans) and offer a novel solution for connecting them. By introducing axes of rotation on the
surface of the squares, a reliable working system is obtained, free from stress, in which the squares
can come into contact with each other and completely cover the surface of the structure, or, in the
open position, form regularly arranged pores. Herein, we present a new 2D auxetic metamaterial
that is mathematically generated based on a theoretical relationship of the angle between the edges
of a square and the position of the axis of rotation. Physical models were generated in the form of a
planar structure and in the form of a circular closed structure. Such physical models confirmed our
initial considerations and the geometrical relationships, offering new application possibilities. The
novel structure that was designed and manufactured for the purpose of the paper can be considered
as a new proposal in the market of auxetic materials

Field Evaluation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Colonization in Miscanthus × giganteus and Seed-Based Miscanthus Hybrids Grown in Heavy-Metal-Polluted Areas
Get PDFUnderstanding the behavior of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with plants
is essential for optimizing plant cultivation to the phytoremediation of degraded soils. The objective of
the present study was to evaluate the differences in AMF root colonization between novel seed-based
interspecific Miscanthus hybrids (M. sacchariflorus x M. sinensis) and the standard M. x giganteus
when grown in soils contaminated with heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Zn). During the third and fourth
growing seasons, higher concentration of metals in the roots and a limited transfer of metals from
the roots to the shoots were observed in all the plants studied. After the third growing season, the
lowest values of AMF colonization rates were observed for the GNT34 hybrid. After the fourth
growing season, AMF colonization decreased, which could be due to the drought that occurred
during that season. GNT34 showed a lower tendency to develop mycorrhizal structures on heavymetal
(HM)-contaminated soils than GNT41 and M x g; however, this hybrid was insensitive to
changes in colonization rates during the dry growing season
Supramolecular Structure of Phenyl Derivatives of Butanol Isomers
Get PDFWide-angle X-ray scattering patterns were recorded
for a series of aliphatic butanol isomers (n-, iso-, sec-, tert-butanol)
and their phenyl derivatives (4-phenyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-3-
phenyl-1-propanol, 4-phenyl-2-butanol, and 2-methyl-1-phenyl-2-
propanol, respectively) to determine their atomic-scale structure
with particular emphasis on the formation of supramolecular
clusters. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations were carried
out and yielded good agreement with experimental data. The
combination of experimental and theoretical results allowed
clarification of the origin of the pre-peak appearing at low
scattering angles for the aliphatic butanols and its absence for their
phenyl counterparts. It was demonstrated that the location of the
hydroxyl group in the molecule of alkyl butanol, its geometry, and
rigidity determine the morphology of the supramolecular clusters, while the addition of the aromatic moiety causes more disordered
organization of molecules. The phenyl group significantly decreases the number of hydrogen bonds and size of the supramolecular
clusters formed via the O−H···O scheme. The lower association ability of phenyl alcohols via H-bonds is additionally attenuated by
the appearance of competing π−π configurations evidenced by the structural models
Protection of Polish critical infrastructure (CI) against air threats
Get PDFThe goal of this paper is to analyse challenges related to protecting Polish critical infrastructure (CI) against air threats, such as
UAVs, as a case study in a wider discussion on protection of critical infrastructure worldwide. The Polish legal definition of critical
infrastructure and laws regarding the protection of such facilities are explained in the article in order to provide context. A review of
scientific literature and open-source analysis of known air attacks on CI and the capabilities of air platforms are also included, with
special attention being paid to unmanned systems. The threats themselves have been divided into two groups of scenarios: peacetime
threats and crisis situations that have hybrid wartime scenarios. Depending on the scenario, the different capabilities of actors must be
taken into account. Peacetime air threats include the use of commercially available drones. Those devices have limited capabilities, in
terms of weaponisation, due to the limited weight of their cargo and the flight range. More advanced devices, including custom–built
drones and military systems, can be supplied and used by state actors. Therefore, there are different requirements regarding protection
systems. In peacetime, anti-drone systems are certainly recommended due to their capabilities and safety of use for bystanders. In more
dangerous scenarios, typical military systems, including Very Short-Range Air Defence, Short-Range Air Defence and Medium Range
Air Defence systems have to be employed or dedicated kinetic counter-drone systems deployed
