AB  - Assessment of water quality at Radmilovac estate near Belgrade that is used for irrigation of cultures and as a water supply for experimental fish farm and hatchery was performed by using aquatic invertebrates (zooplankton and macrozoobenthos) and fish gill histology as bioindicators. Two open wells and a stream were monitored during a three year investigation. A total of 25 and 31 species of zooplankton were found in open wells and 11 and 12 taxa of macrozoobenthos at two sites of stream Sugavac. The saprobity index (S) was used to evaluate the water quality of these four sites. Statistical analysis showed that site S2 was the most polluted, with Oligochaeta and Chironomidae larvae dominating. Overall, beta mesosaprobic organisms have been prevailing at all four sites indicating that the water was polluted at moderate levels. All analyzed fish gills showed predominantly normal structure. Identified histopathological changes of gill structure indicated mild and reparable alterations. The results obtained imply that these water resources can be used as a supply for carp fish farm. We suggest that the type of biological water assessment depends on waterbodies characteristics.

AB  - The xylem hydraulic connection between shoot and fruits has previously been investigated, but contradictory conclusions were drawn about the presence of a flow resistance barrier in the pedicel. In this paper we were studying effect of the drought on the functional xylem vessels in the pedicels of tomato fruit. Commercial tomato genotype was grown in cabinet conditions under two watering regimes (full and deficit irrigation). An aqueous solution of eosin Y were used to visualize the path of water movement through tomato fruit pedicel and fluorescence microscopy observations were done on transversal and longitudinal sections. Dye uptake studies suggested that in well watered plants and in plants exposed to drought, a large majority of xylem vessels are not functional in water transport. Reduced-irrigation treatment significantly altered number and width of functional xylem elements in the fruit pedicel, especially in the abscission zone. This indicates that drought modifies xylem architecture and, thus, environmentally produced change in the hydraulic property of pedicel may affect fruit development.
