Popularyzacja wiedzy botanicznej w Polsce – stan, potrzeby, perspektywy [Public education of botany in Poland – state, needs, perspectives]
M. Ławrynowicz
The Committee of Botany of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Botanical Society undertake the efforts to make popularisation of botanical knowledge among the people more effective. The author summarizes the activity on this field at present as well as in the past and indicates the new needs in the country according to changing economical and social conditions. The role of scientists is to keep popularisation of botanical knowledge on its proper level.

Wkład Michała Jankowskiego w rozwój botaniki na Dalekim Wschodzie [Contribution of Michał Jankowski to knowledge of botany in Far East]
Z. Charkiewicz, W. Niedołużko
At the times of partitioning of Poland Polish civilian conspirators organized an armed fighting for independence with the invaders. After the collapse of January insurrection (1863) in Russian partition, many of rebels were sent to exile. Among them was Polish naturalist Michał Jankowski (1843-1912), who spent eight years in Siberia as a deportee. When finished the period of exile, he settled in the Far East, where organized a model farm and introduced many new varieties of plants and live-stock. His herbarium and collections of birds and insects are of a great scientific value – they were frequently cited and used by later naturalists. Presented article summarizes his botanical activity and contribution to the development of botany in the Far East.

Widłak jednakozarodnikowy z ligulą [A homosporous, ligulate lycopod]
D. Zdebska
Leclerqia complexa, the herbaceous earliest ligulate lycopod was described from the middle Devonian of U.S.A by Banks at all. (1972). The lycopod is characterized by the dichotomizing axes with five-tiped sterile and fertile leaves. A sporangia are borne on the upper surface of the sporophyll. Leclerqia is homosporous lycopod. A ligule was found on both vegetative and fertile leaves (Grierson and Bonamo 1979, Bonamo at all. 1988) and it is discussed.

Znamię i pyłek – przegląd prac dotyczących zgodnego zapylenia [Stigma and pollen – the review concerning with compatible pollination]
R. Śnieżko, K. Winiarczyk
Stigma and pollen are the partners at the first moment of sexual recognition. Their contact evolves very important interactions in female and male cells which consequently can inhibit or stimulate the growth of the pollen tube. The surface of the stigma creates special enviroment for compatible pollen grains allowing them to germinate and at the same time the germination of the incompatible pollen is inhibited. Pollen on its side cooperates with stigma, gives some signals and reacts on stimuli from stigmatic cells. This interactions are very intensely investigated by electron microscopy and biochemical techniques. Present paper collects some of recent research on pollen-stigma interactions, but is not particularly concerned with the incompatibility problems.

Mikoryza w siedliskach skażonych metalami toksycznymi [Mycorrhiza in toxic metal polluted sites]
K. Turnau
This review is concerned with the responce of mycorrhizae to toxic metal exposure. Some heavy metals are required by biological systems as structural and catalytic components of proteins and enzymes, and as cofactors essential to normal growth and development. In excess they become extremely toxic to cells. While some species of plants and fungi may be severely restricted by toxic metals, some species posses ability to adapt rapidly and to evolve mechanisms of tolerance to toxic or lethal levels of these elements. There is mounting evidence that several species of mycorrhizal fungi might be essential for the survival of plants growing near mining or smelting operations, industrial wastes as well as on some natural soil types. A variety of mechanisms occur in fungal cells for the removal of heavy metals. These mechanisms range from physicochemical interactions, such as adsorption, to processes that depend on cell metabolism, such as intracellular metal accumulation or extracellular precipitation of metals, as a result of excreted metabolities. Most of these mechanisms are however known from investigations on saprophytic fungi and only revealed for few mycorrhizal species. Among all mycorrhizal kinds the relation between toxic metals and the ericoid mycorrhiza is the most detailed case. The given data however, show that the mycorrhiza population responce to metal toxicity as well as the biochemical and molecular basis of tolerance is still poorly understood.

Fotoperiodyczna indukcja kwitnienia roślin [Photoperiodic induction of plant flowering]
J. Kopcewicz, H. Kulikowska-Gulewska, M. Cymerski
The paper is a general review on the mechanisms of flower induction in photoperiodically sensitive plants. These mechanisms defy easy explanations. They appear basically different in different species. They may have evolved independently in it wide range of plant groups. Flowering in all plants seems to be under the control of several biochemical /physiological systems (phytochrome, flowering factors,hormones, nutrients, growth regulators), all of which must be permissive if reproductive structures are to be formed. The multifactorial model of plant flowering seems to be more suitable than florigen or nutrient-diversion idea for explanation of complexity of events connected with flower induction. The evidence concerning participation of known growth regulators in the control of flowering is still fragmentary, but some findings clearly suggest such a possibility. Each individual factor of the regulatory complex’ controls specific events of photoperiodic induction. The whole precess is triggered only when an appropriate balance or sequence of the required factors is achieved, In the harmonious integration of partial processes, giving rise to flower primordia, factors other than regulatory chemicals must also be considered, namely physical forces and, overall, the genetic make up. The molecular biology methods are urgently needed in further invesigations,

Selen w roślinach [Selenium in plants]
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for man and it should be supplied to the organism in a relatively narrow range of concentration (50-200 ug daily). Epidemiological evidence showed a higher incidence and mortality rate of cancer in geographical areas poor in Se. Se could be considered to be one of the most important elements exerting protection against the action of carcinogens. The route of Se from the soil into the human organism leads through plants. Plants vary greatly in their ability to absorb, metabolize and accumulate Se. Among ail plant species 25 from genera Astragalus, Stanleya i Haplopappus are uniqe with the ability to absorb extremely high amount of Se from the soil. This group of plants may contain up to 2-3% of Se in dry matter and it is called Se-accumulator plants. These plants store most of the Se in free aminoacids such as Se – cysteine or its derivatives which are not incorporated into proteins. The nonaccumulator plants incorporate their Se in the Se-methionine which is stored in proteins. Se is absorbed much more by plants in the form of selenate than selenite. The biological role of Se in higher plants is not well understood at present. In plants Se-containing transfer RNAs with a new, not yet characterized selenonucleoside have been found.
