Metal-polluted areas, especially where municipal sewage is used as fertilizer, often have high concentrations of more than one metal. The development of the root system is regulated by a complex signaling network, which includes reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The delicate balance of the endogenous signal system can be affected by various environmental stimuli including heavy metals (HMs) in excess. Our goal was to analyze the microelement homeostasis, root architecture, and to determine the underlying changes in the nitro-oxidative status in the root system of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) subjected to combined HM treatments. The effect of model-sewage in two different layouts was simulated in rhizotron system by only supplementing the highest HM concentrations (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) legally allowed. The two species reacted differently to combined HM treatment; compared to the relatively sensitive sunflower, rapeseed showed better metal translocation capability and root growth even at the more severe treatment, where the pattern of protein tyrosine nitration was reorganized. The obtained results, especially the increased nitric oxide content and changed pattern of tyrosine nitration in rapeseed, can indicate acclimation and species-specific nitro-oxidative responses to combined HM stress.

SUMMARY Seed germination of six sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids was investigated across a range of eleven constant temperatures between 5°C and 45°C. Large temperature differences in germination rate 1/t (d-1), cardinal temperature (°C) and thermal time θ (°cd) were observed among hybrids. Base temperatures (Tb) varied between 3.3°C and 6.7°C whereas maximum germination temperatures (Tm) varied between 41.7°C and 48.9°C. Final germination fraction was attained at 15°C - 25°C whereas the maximum rate of germination was attained at 30.4°C - 35.6°C. The maximum germination rate of hybrid USDA 894, the cultivar with the slowest germination rate, was only 50% of that of hybrid EX 47. The low Tb and high Tm of sunflower appear to be one of the factors which explain the successful adaptation of sunflower to a wide range of temperature. These findings are discussed in relation to the origin of the crop and its wide adaptations in diverse habitats and climatic zones.

SUMMARYA field experiment was conducted at Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore to study the effect of irrigation regimens on the biomass accumulation, canopy development, light interception and radiation use efficiency of sunflower. The treatments includes irrigating the plants at 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 cumulative pan evaporation. The results indicated that the aboveground biomass, canopy development, radiation interception and radiation use efficiency were influenced favorably by the irrigation regimens. Irrespective of the irrigation regimen, the radiation use efficiency of sunflower increased from 15 DAS to 75 DAS and then tended to decline. The decrease in RUE after anthesis is coupled with decrease in leaf nitrogen content. In general the RUE of sunflower ranged from 0.49 g MJ-1 to 1.84 g MJ-1 at different growth stages. The light transmission within the canopy increased exponentially with plant height and the canopy extension coefficient is found to be 0.8.
