Metabolomic profiling of soils of chronoseries of podzols of a sand quarry Metabolomic profiling of soils of chronoseries of podzols of a sand quarry K.V. Sazanova, E.V. Abakumov, D.Yu. Vlasov FGBOU St. Petersburg State University, 199034, St. Petersburg, University Emb. d.7-9   Abstract: Metabolic profiling of soil samples from the chrono-series of the Maluksinsky quarry was carried out: 1-2 years old, fresh sand lithostra with no signs of overgrowing and soil formation, the stage of self-overgrowing 15–20 years with emerging pine-tree and sod-podbur, the stage of self-overgrowing 30–35 years with embryo podzol, the stage of self-overgrowing 70 years with formed podzol and pine forest background soil near the quarry. Soil chronoseries are promising model objects in which the process of soil restoration can be observed in development within certain time intervals. Analysis of methanol extracts of the soil was performed using the GC-MS method. Metabolic profiling of soil samples from the chrono-series of the Maluksinsky quarry was carried out. Amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids of the Krebs cycle, polyols, sugars, sterols, diterpenes, and phenolic compounds were identified in the metabolic profile. The results showed the samples significantly differ in the content of low molecular weight organic substances. The greatest structural diversity of small molecules was found in samples from the upper horizon. Molecular diversity was achieved mainly due to the secondary plant metabolites are likely to leach out of the litter and higher plants. The profiles of the underlying horizons are more similar. In the sand dumps, the amount of organic matter was very low and the metabolic profiles of all horizons differed little. The obtained results expand the understanding of the biochemical composition of the soil, contribute to the understanding of the processes of pedogenesis and the structure of the metabolite network of soils.  

Non-ribosomally synthesized metabolites and the genetic mechanisms of their synthesis in the implementation of the fungicidal effect of Bacillus and Paenibacillus bacteria (review) Pathogenic fungi that cause damage to agricultural crops pose a serious threat to the agricultural industry. The development of biological products based on bacteria - natural antagonists of fungi is the most environmentally safe strategy to withstand it. The purpose of this review was to systematize the existing data on bacteria antagonistic to pathogenic fungi of the genus Fusarium and the mechanisms for this antagonism’s implementation. The review lists the main mechanisms, as well as a number of genes responsible for these mechanisms. These genes can be an important element in the development of a genetic screening system for strains that are effective antagonists of pathogenic fungi.

Comparative ability to adapt vines on the Lower Don Eng: Comparative ability to adapt vines on the Lower Don Maltseva A.N. Botanical Garden of the Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia Abstract: Despite the blackberry widespread in the World, this crop in Russia is not paid enough attention. Industrial cultivation of blackberry is absent. During the last 15 years were published the results of a few studies. For the production of canned blackberries in sugar, Donconserv at Rostov-on-Don city use blackberries of imported raw materials (Poland or China). Therefore, the blackberries in our country can be attributed as underutilized crops. The steppe arid zone, in which the Botanical Garden of the Southern Federal University is located, characterized by a combination of heat excess with a relative lack of moisture. Since blackberry is liana, it was interesting to study several species of lianas and their ability to adapt to this climate. To the investigation were taken species: Rubus сanadensis L., Aktinidia argutaPlanch. Ex Mig. and Parthenociccus quinquefolia (L). Planch.  

Sheyko Elena A.1, Sytnikov Denis M.2 1 S.I. Georgievsky Medical Academy  of Vernadsky CFU, Simferopol, Russian Federation; lenasheyko@mail.ru 2 Odessa I.I Mechnikov National University, Odessa, Ukraine   Abstract: Anatomy-morphological, symbiotic and allelopathic peculiarities of four representatives of the Orchidaceae Juss., the Crimea geophyte species: Epipactis helleborine (L.) Crantz s. l., Dactylorhiza iberica (M. Bieb. exWilld.) Soo?, Epipactis persica (Soó) Nannf. s. l., Ophrys mammosa Desf. subsp. taurica (Aggeenko) Soo? were studied. Biochemical, physiological, microscopic methods of research and methods of statistic alanalysis were used. As a result of the conducted researches, the features of the localization of the endomycotrophic component, the dynamics of symbiotic and allelopathic relations at various stages of ontogenesis, the influence of edaphic factors on the degree of mycotrophy were revealed. It was established that in the rhizomatous orchid species the degree of mycotrophy is lower than in the fleshy root species. The dynamics of symbiotic relationships varied according to ontogenesis phases. Occurrence of the mycorrhizal infection decreases from juvenile to a generative stage in the studied species. As the degree of mycotrophy increases, the number of ovules and seeds in the capsule increases. By the means of qualitative histochemical reactions it was established that the dynamics of allelopathic interactions is due to the accumulation of lignin, pectin and phenolic compounds in the tissues of the primary cortex of the orchids` rhizome. When studying the hormonal complex of fungi associated with orchids, the ability to excrete auxins and cytokinins into the external environment was revealed. It opens the possibility of microorganisms impact on overall hormonal balance of plants, stimulating additional rooting of orchids, as well as to influence the germination of their seeds. It was defined that the reproductive strategy of the investigated species of orchids is determined by the degree of interaction with the mycorhizal fungi, the peculiarities of the growing conditions and the nature of the studied species pollination.   

Materials on moulting of Dice snake (Natrix tessellata) (Serpentes, Colubridae, Natrix) in mainland and island populations of the western coast of Middle Caspian The article presents data on a molting of the Dice snake (Natrix tessellata) on the western coast of the Middle Caspian. The sex and the age differences in the frequency of moulting and the duration of the intervals separating of them have been revealed. A general increase in molting frequency in individuals of the island population were established. Approximately at 30% of the dice snakes of continental populations on the recreationally transformed areas of the territory were marked moult violations, which were expressed a fragmented of the pull off of the skin. There was a strong positive correlation between the length of the intervals between molts and the length of the body of snakes.  

Heavy metals in soils and road dust in the Stoilo-Lebedinsky mining complex. The content of heavy metals and metalloids were investigated in iron ore, soils and road dustin surrounding the Stoilo-Lebedinsky mining complex of Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, where a lot of mining, metallurgical and other enterprises are located. It was shown that this territory is subject to aerotechnogenic pollution by a large set of chemical elements, but because of their low background content in mined iron ore and natural variation of soil composition, it is difficult to identify the technogenic impact using gross analysis. The determination of chemical elements associated with iron in Tamm extract in combination with chemical composition of road dust, is the most informative way to detect anthropogenic impact on territory, influenced by ferrous metallurgy enterprises.

Herbarium named after I.V. Novopokrovsky (RV): 100 years of the herbarium collection of K.M. Zalessky Demina Olga Nikolaevna1, Rogal Lyudmila Leonidovna2 1Karachaevo-Circassian State University named after U.D. Aliyeva, Russia, 369200, ul. Lenin, KChGU. E-mail: ondemina@yandex.ru 2 Southern Federal University, Russia, 344006, Rostov-on-Don, Botanical Descent, 7. SFU   Abstract:  The work reviews the herbarium collection of K.M. Zalessky, which has been stored for 100 years in herbarium named after I.V. Novopokrovsky Department of Botany of SFedU (RV). This is about 1 thousand of the most valuable rare specimens. At the beginning of the last century, he collected materials for the knowledge of the vegetation of the Lower Don region. These works, representing an inexhaustible source of botanical knowledge about the vegetation cover of the region, were systematically studied the vegetation cover of the Lower Don basin. The scientists for the first time characterized the types of Don steppes and on the basis of the herbarium, a flora outline was compiled, comprising 328 species of plants indicating their habitats and locations. Some of the places of herbarium fees given in this paper do not already exist or they were found outside the Rostov region: the habitat of Astragalus sulcatus collected by K.M. Zalessky on the meadow on May 31, 2017, in the vicinity of the village of Esaulovskaya, which belonged to the Second Don district (now the Volgograd region), is now flooded with the waters of the Tsimlyansk reservoir; habitats Asplenium septentrionale - the species was found by the scientist on June 5, 2017 in the crevices of the Royal rocks, on the territory of Ukraine (now it is a branch of the Lugansk nature reserve). Therefore, the herbarium collection from the southwestern and southern parts of the former Don Military Region serves as an invaluable historical evidence of the natural past of the Lower Don basin. Currently, the collection of K.M. Zalessky is used both for the compilation of fundamental floristic reports and for constructing various hypotheses on the dynamics of the Don flora and vegetation. These materials are the basis for studying the biological diversity of the Don region.  

Modern problems of natural and technogenic pollution of the environment (review) One of global problems of the present is pollution of the land area and water ecosystems by harmful ingredients. Scales of ecological consequences of environmental pollution steadily grow and consequences can be catastrophic. The number of natural and technogenic catastrophes has grown for the last 100 years by 20 times. Glaciers are intensively thaw in the Arctic and Antarctic . For the last 50 years temperature in the southwest of Antarctic has grown by 2,5 °C. Among natural sources of pollution the leading place is taken by volcanoes (520 acting from 1300), 250 thousand people have died from a tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004, because of accident on the NPP in Fukushima (Japan) in 2011 15,5 thousand people have died. Annually in the world there are more than 200 thousand fires, in Russia their quantity has grown from 2000 to 2009 from 9 to 22%. The huge contribution in environmental pollution is brought by the enterprises, motor transport, agriculture (mineral fertilizers, pesticides, etc.). In 31 countries 192 NPPs (more than 450 power units) work, 80-90% of waste of nuclear fuel production are stored locally around nuclear power plants, and then taken out on burial in the mines located in Russia in the Urals and in the USA – in 180 km from Las Vegas. The special danger is caused by nuclear weapon and nuclear waste, space debris, solid and liquid household waste. In the Baltic Sea over 300 thousand tons of the chemical warfare agents (CWA) are buried, in the Kara Sea 17 thousand containers with radioactive waste, 16 nuclear reactors, 5 atomic submarines, etc. are based. Plastic waste has polluted the rivers, the seas and oceans. From 1901 to 2007 in the world there were 1125 largest industrial accidents, more than 6 billion tons of mineral fertilizers, 8,3 billion tons of plastic are made and applied. Studying of diverse influence of anthropogenic factors on the environment is one of the most important current issues. An ultimate goal of such research – protection and improvement of the habitat of the person.  

Methodical principles for determining the bulk density of chernozem Morozov Igor V., Vareldzhan Diana E., Borovikova Yana V., Kolesnikova Nadezhda A. Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia; migovad@sfedu.ru Abstract: Bulk density of soils is a fundamental physical value, wich is used in soil science to assess the relationship between solid, liquid and gaseous phases of the soil, to calculation of the total and differential porosity, stocks of substance, estimation of the degree of addition, and other agrophysical characteristic.The purpose of the research is designing of methodical principles for determining of the bulk density of chernozem. The feature of ordinary calcareous chernozem is the change in volume when moisture is varied, it was decisive when research object was choosing. Drilling and calculation methods were used to determine the soil density. Studies have shown that the dynamics of soil moisture is the reason of bulky changes in the soil, which is fixed by us in the form of parameters such as volume compaction and swelling volume. Also volume changes inevitably must be reflected in the change of the parameters of soil density. The dynamics of the bulk density when the soil moisture change is due to the phenomena of swelling and compaction exactly. At that the result of determination of soil bulk density will depend on the initial condition of soil: its moisture and, the occupied volume accordingly. The same soil can have different bulk density values - 1.2 g / cm3 and 1.8 g / cm3, respectively. These values correspond to two possible limiting status of soil as a physical body with a variable volume. We think that the available methods require a conceptual solution; when calculating the bulk density, it is proposed to take into account the dynamics of the volume of the soil, determining the interval «compaction limit of bulk density - swelling limit of bulk density».

About the formation of carbonate horizon of ordinary calcareous chernozems Morozov Igor V., Bezuglova Olga S., Minaeva Evgeniya N. Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia, migovad@sfedu.ru Investigations were carried out on ordinary calcareous chernozem, which is named as migrate-segregated chernozem according to the Soil Classification of Russia (2004). The genesis of calcareous horizons is significantly linked with long-term dynamics of carbonates' precipitation. According to our opinion, upper boundary and deepness of accumulation of calcareous concentrations are determined by pulsating nature of the annual sum of atmospheric precipitations and their distribution during long-term cycle. The bottom boundary of water infiltration for significant part of atmospheric precipitations during 33th year period of observations is genetically related with a part of soil profile where calcareous concentrations are formed. About 71 % of the annual sum of atmospheric precipitations is percolated to the depth from 80 to 159 cm as a result of water infiltration into soil profile. It is an evidence of the paleomorphic nature of soil horizon where water-soluble salts and gypsum are significantly accumulated at depth 210-250 cm, and the same time is a proof of the absence of link with modern chernozemic soil-forming process.

Sod soils with groundwater and surface moisture of the Republic of Belarus (general characteristics and distinctive featur Pirogovskaya Galina Vladimirovna Abstract. The article describes the sod  soils of groundwater and surface moisture in Belarus based on the catenary genetic research and the results of the study of their properties, including studies after long drying. Comparative data on their morphological characteristics, physical and chemical properties, and the content of the absolute total reserves of moisture, organic matter, clay fraction and physical clay in layers of soil 0-20 cm, 0-50 and 0-100 cm, the bulk composition of the clay fraction are presented. It is shown that in sod soils with groundwater moisture the degree of chemical differentiation is reduced with an increase in moisture level, ie, profiles of sod temporarily excessively wetted soil and soils with partial gley features are differentiated chemically significantly stronger than sod-gley soils. Conversely, in the swampy sod soil with surface moisture degree of chemical differentiation grows with an increase in the hydration, that is, the profile of sod-gley soils is differentiated significantly stronger than that of temporarily excessively wetted soils and soils with partial gley features. Drainage of  all waterlogged sod soils is accompanied by a decrease of humus content, a change in its qualitative composition, the latter is particularly noticeable in the soils with groundwater soil moisture. This is due to the fact that the drainage of the sod soil with groundwater soil moisture causes irreversible changes in the general direction of the soil-forming process - the development of podzol. When draining sod soils with surface moisture there is an enhanced lessivage, while the soils stay amenable to cultivation and are recommended for use in intensive crop rotations.

Changes of Organic Carbon Pools in the Southern Taiga and Forest-Steppe of European Russia during the Historical Period Chernova Olga Vladimirovna, Ryzhova Irina Mikhaylovna, Podvezennaya Marina Aleksandrovna Abstract: Regional estimates of changes of organic carbon pools for Kostroma oblast (southern taiga) and Kursk oblast (forest-steppe) during the historical period were discussed. Actual and potential carbon pools in the phytomass and the 100-cm soil layer were calculated on a single map-based, with due account for the classification position of particular soils, their texture,  the character and age structure of forest stands, and land use patterns were taken into account. It was shown that the modern total organic carbon pool of Kostroma oblast by almost 25% below its potential; for the Kursk oblast this difference more than 30%. Soil organic сarbon pool of Kostroma region hasn't changed, a phytomass сarbon pool decreased by 40% due to the active use of forest resources. The high degree of plowing in Kursk region and almost complete reduction of woody vegetation led to a significant reduction in carbon pools of phytomass (75%) and soil (by 23-27%).

Fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium (L.) Scop.) from the Rostov region in herbarium collections in Russia O.N. Demina, L.L. Rogal, M.A. Abacharaeva Abstract. The paper provides an overview of the accumulated data and a brief history of the use of the fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium) in connection with its assumed harvesting. in Rostov region it is considered to be a rare species, listed in the regional Red Book, but in the adjacent areas the fireweed has no legal protection status. The above said served as the  basis for the study of herbarium collections that are stored in the country's largest herbariums. The obtained data allow us to determine its location in the basin of the Lower Don (basin of the river Glubokaja) and undertake measures aimed at the  protection of C. angustifolium in the Rostov region.

The content and distribution of heavy metals in gray forest soil and the specificity of their receipt in plants Konarbaeva Galina A., Yakimenko Vladimir N. Institute of soil science and agrochemistry Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia; konarbaeva@issa.nsc.ru Content and distribution of heavy metals in grey forest soil and specificity of their intake by plants Summary: The content and distribution of copper, cobalt and zinc were studied in the system plant – soil of long-term trial established at grey forest soil in the forest steppe belt of Western Siberia. The mineral fertilizers (nitrogenous, phosphoric and potassic) which were yearly applied in the agrocenosis in the course of a quarter of century served as a permanent source of heavy metals (HM). The conducted studies showed that optimization on of mineral nutrition of plants not only ensured of full value productional process but also reduced the content of HM in soil and plants. More over, the conducted studies confirmed general regularity of limitation of HM entry into reproductive and storage organs (seeds, fruits, tubers) and their heightened accumulation in generative organs (leaves, stems). Long-term use of scientifically grounded doses of fertilizers did not lead to accumulation of HM in soil and plants in meaningful amounts as concerns of active sanitary and hygienic guidelines. At the same time, contemporary level of chemicalization of farming requires the monitoring of HM under study in order to reveal their excess and lack.

Yao Mu, Xinzhi Mu Fossil energy is the product of a series of complex chemical reactions inside the earth under high temperature and pressure that occur over a long period of geological time. The production of fossil energy requires a tremendous heat source. Although the majority of coal, oil and gas exist in sedimentary basins with rich geothermal resources, a “sea of oil” or “sea of gas” does not occur within the crust. Petroleum, natural gas, shale gas, etc. exist underground in a huge “capillary network” that consists of rock pores, cracks, caves, faults and sand. Cracks and faults may be entirely within the crust. Deposits of fossil energy only cover a small portion of the earth’s surface, and the maximum depth of human mining is only 5 kilometers. Petroleum, natural gas and shale gas seal these pores, cracks, faults and sand beds, effectively preventing excessive leakage of terrestrial heat flow. The enormous pressure formed by petroleum, natural gas and shale gas within the crust oppose the earth’s interior thermal pressure, achieving a dynamic balance. Once petroleum, natural gas and shale gas have been mined, the earth’s interior terrestrial heat flow follows the capillary network because of the loss of thermal insulation and heat-sealants and eventually reaches the surface, causing the crust underlying the surface to “fever” and triggering ecological and geological disasters. Huge amounts of extreme dispersed heat force the water vapor, CO2, CH4 and other gases from the crust into the atmosphere and oceans, which disrupts the atmospheric energy balance and causes climate change and meteorological disasters. With increasing sea temperatures, air humidity has also increased, which has produced the strongest recorded typhoons, hurricanes and tropical cyclones, as well as the strongest recorded local rainfall, snow, drought, winter and cold conditions. These conditions are expected to become more frequent, with the weather becoming more extreme and violent. Global climate will long-term warming if energy mining does not stop.

The follicle-stimulating hormone receptor gene (FSHR) polymorphisms and hormon levels in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment This study was performed to investigate the association between FSH receptor (FSHR) gene polymorphism at position 680 and the number of dominant follicles, also the FSH and LH levels before controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and after it. One hundred patients from 24 to 42 who underwent IVF-ET procedures were included in this study. Three groups were formed: patients with normal ovary response, patients with ovary hyperstimulation and patients with poor ovary response. The FSHR polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The FSHR genotype distribution in patients with normal ovary response was 45,3%  for AA, 39,6% for AG and  15,1% for GG. There was no difference among the three genotype groups. The basal levels of FSH and levels after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation were significantly higher in patients with poor ovary response. LH levels after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation were significantly lower in patients with normal ovary response. The basal levels of AMH were significantly higher in patients with ovary hyperstimulation.

Finding a new species of snowdrop (Galanthus platyphyllus Traub et Moldenke) for the flora of Karachay-Cherkessia The endemic Caucasian snowdrop flat-leaved (Galanthus platyphyllus Traub et Moldenke, 1947) is a rare species listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and a number of regional ones. It has a limited area, part of which is located on the territory of Russia. In the Red Book of the Krasnodar Territory, the species is listed with a category and status as "Vulnerable" - 2, a locally encountered Transcaucasian endemic species with a shrinking population, where it is threatened with final destruction; is also included in the Red Book of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, where the state of its population due to the inaccessibility of habitats is not of particular concern. G. platyphyllus is included in the Conventionon International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES, Appendix II) (2006). On the territory of the KCR, until now, it was reliably known of the growth of only the alpine snowdrop – G. alpinus Sosn., collected in the vicinities of the village of Asiatsky, in a moist beech forest, on the slope of the northwestern exposition in the valley of the river B. Laba. The location of G. platyphyllus was previously unknown and is given for the first time. The location of G. platyphyllus was found in a moist forest, in the valley of the river B. Laba, on the right bank, 6 km to the south from the village of Asiatsky settlement, 902 m above sea level. Sea, April 5, 2017. Flowering was recorded in early April.
