Technical Plant

Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is a technical plant that manages to adapt very well to unfriendly environments, even in polluted or poor in nutrients soils and may serve in the near future as an important raw material for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, the plant is growing rapidly, producing large amounts of biomass and offers the possibility to be harvested up to 2 times a year, therefore presents a high potential to be used in the field of biofuel production. The plant's capacity to multiply easily by developing small tubers in the soil, allowing the production of economically advantageous crops, can be considered an advantage for biofuel producers, however this feature might be a drawback for agricultural land owners considering the very invasive behavior. The present paper aim to assess two Jerusalem Artichokes crops established on marginal soils, assessing productivity and the extensive impact on the ecosystem, paying a special attention to plant invasiveness tendencies.

Outer Area

DNA and RNA contents are studied in Jerusalem artichoke tuber explants cultured in vitro after gamma irradiation (0–5 × 105 rads (1 rad = 10 mGy)). The lower part of the explants is stimulated as soon as in contact with the medium. This stimulated area is still able to synthesize DNA and RNA up to 104 rads. An histological and cytological study shows that tissue neoformations can be observed up to 6000 rads in this outer area and that gamma rays seem to keep the cells in a "premitotic" state for a longer or shorter period according to the applied radiation dose.
