Main conclusion Siderophores are a driver ofPinus sylvestrisroot responses to metabolites secreted by pathogenic and mycorrhizal fungi.Structurally different siderophores regulate the uptake of Fe by microorganisms and may play a key role in the colonization of plants by beneficial or pathogenic fungi. Siderophore action, however, may be dependent on the distribution of Fe within cells. Here, the...

The simultaneous over-accumulation of Fe, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide can result in the generation of hydroxyl radicals, which play a significant role in the interactions between plant hosts and invading fungi. The physiological response to infection by pathogenic or mycorrhizal fungi may, however, be determined by the root zone. The objective of the present study was to use light microscopy...

Increasing pollution by heavy metals calls for advanced methods to immobilize or extract soil metals, thus avoiding their contact with water, air and living organisms. In particular there is a need for cheap binding materials that extract metals. Here we tested the use of the halloysite clay, functionalized with silanes and non-functionalized, on metal extraction from soils. The clay was functionalized...

Reproduction and shell growth in two snail species from the family Clausiliidae differing in reproductive strategies were examined under laboratory conditions. The specimens of the oviparous species Clausilia bidentata and the ovoviviparous species Ruthenica filograna were collected in natural populations coexisting in the same area. The total time of shell growth in the specimens of C. bidentata...
