Dynamika węgla organicznego i węgla frakcji humin w profilu gleby płowej w zależności od zmianowania i nawożenia
(Przemysł Chemiczny, 2025) Pikuła, Dorota
Od wielu lat badania naukowe koncentrują się nad glebową materią organiczną, której utrzymanie w glebie na optymalnym poziomie jest kluczowe nie tylko ze względów prawidłowego funkcjonowania gleby, ale także ochrony środowiska. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki wpływu długotrwałego nawożenia gleby obornikiem w dawce stosowanej w praktyce rolniczej i saletrą amonową w dawkach 100 i 150 kg/ha na zawartość węgla organicznego i węgla frakcji humin w profilu gleby płowej. Badania wykazały, że zawartość węgla organicznego w profilach gleb obu zmianowań stopniowo zmniejszała się wraz z głębokością. Stosowanie obornika w dawce 35t/ha raz na 4 lata, na glebach zakwaszonych w połączeniu z uprawą roślin bobowatych w mieszance z trawami oraz gorczycy w płodozmianie nie sprzyja gromadzeniu stabilnych form próchnicy w warstwie 0-30 (frakcja humin <50%). W głębszych warstwach profilu gleby płowej (30-60 i 60-90 cm) węgiel jest akumulowany we frakcji humin, ponad 70%. Świadczy to o tym, że w głębszych warstwach gleby występują bardziej próchniczne i stabilne formy materii organicznej.
The Infection of Yellow Lupin (Lupinus luteus L.) with Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus (BYMV) and Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) in Organic Farming in Eastern Poland

Yellow lupin seeds are a rich source of protein, which is why they are grown for animal feed and human consumption. At the same time, there is growing interest in organic farming. However, this type of cultivation is more susceptible to diseases, including viral ones. Yellow lupin is most commonly affected by the bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). We have therefore determined the occurrence of these two pathogens in six new Polish yellow lupin cultivars (Goldeneye, Salut, Diament, Puma, Mister and Bursztyn) grown in accordance with organic farming rules. Field experiments were conducted over three years, from 2022 to 2024, in three locations in eastern Poland. The Goldeneye cultivar was the most susceptible to BYMV, with an average infection rate of 59.17% of plants. In contrast, the Puma cultivar was the least susceptible to BYMV infection, with an average infection rate of 23.34%. However, even within this cultivar, most plants were infected under conditions of strong pathogen pressure (up to 90% in one of the locations in 2024). CMV infections were less frequent, with no statistical differences being found between cultivars in terms of the number of infected plants.
Fractions from Sea Buckthorn Seeds and Their Bioactive Ingredients as Modulators of Human Blood Platelet Response In Vitro: The Role of Thermal Processing
(MDPI, 2025-09-27) Sławińska, Natalia; Janko, Luiza; Żuchowski, Jerzy; Olas, Beata
Background: Given the pivotal role of diet in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), there is a growing demand for new sources of bioactive phytochemicals that can contribute to CVD prevention and treatment. Previous research has unveiled the cardioprotective properties of several parts of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.). For example, various fractions isolated from raw and roasted sea buckthorn seeds showed antioxidant properties in vitro. In addition, the serotonin-rich fraction obtained from roasted seed extract had the strongest antioxidant activity. However, it was unclear which chemical constituents contribute to the anti-platelet potential of sea buckthorn seeds. Methods: The anti-platelet activity of two fractions (fraction b and fraction c) from raw sea buckthorn seed extract, two fractions (fraction d and fraction g) from roasted sea buckthorn seed extract, and two chemical compounds - isorhamnetin 3-O-β-glucoside-7-O-α-rhamnoside (a major component of fraction b), and serotonin (5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine), present in fraction c was estimated in several in vitro assays. Results: Isorhamnetin 3-O-β-glucoside-7-O-α-rhamnoside significantly inhibited platelet activation. It lowered the exposition of the active form of GPIIb/IIIa on the surface of 20 μM ADP-stimulated platelets by about 26%. It also inhibited the exposition of P-selectin on the surface of 10 and 20 μM ADP-stimulated platelets. In addition, isorhamnetin 3-O-β-glucoside-7-O-α-rhamnoside (at 50 µg/mL) significantly prolonged the time of thrombus formation. The results also indicate that fractions d and g (from roasted seeds) are more effective anti-adhesive factors than fractions from raw sea buckthorn seeds. Conclusions: It can be suggested that sea buckthorn seeds can serve as a new source of anti-platelet compounds (especially derivatives of isorhamnetin) beneficial in CVD prevention and treatment; however, in vivo research is needed to clarify their mechanism of action, physiologically relevant concentrations, and therapeutic potential
Exploring the impact of innovation on organic farms: a comparative life cycle assessment of seven case studies
(2025) Żyłowski, Tomasz ; Westaway, Sally; Lauteri, Marco ; Ciolfi, Marco; Holzner, Valerie; Riekötter, Nicklas; Gliga, Adrian; Orfanidou, Timokleia; Borek, Robert; den Herder, Michael; Noble, Nicola; Wustenberghs, Hilde; Adame, Alba Alonso; Smith, Laurence G.
There is widespread recognition of an urgent need for a transition to sustainable food systems; with organic farming methods proposed as a part of the solution. However few studies have compared highly diverse innovative organic farms with more mainstream specialised organic production systems.
Based on a diverse selection of case study farms in seven European countries, this research examines the environmental impacts of food production from innovative organic systems compared to mainstream organic production through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The study examines different innovation characteristics within product, processing, marketing and organisational categories across a range of case study farms in Europe. All four categories of innovation were represented, however the marketing category of innovation was the most prevalent, with all seven case study farms participating in direct local sales with reduced transport distances to market.
The results show that innovative organic farms often have lower environmental impacts than their mainstream counterparts, particularly in the categories of climate change, freshwater eutrophication and fossil fuel depletion for products such as vegetables, eggs and shiitake mushrooms. Process innovations such as agroforestry practices and direct marketing could play an important role in reducing environmental impacts. In addition, organisational innovations such as community-supported agriculture and local direct sales may contribute to reduced fossil fuel use and lower impacts "beyond the farm gate”.
This study sheds light on the potential of innovative organic farming systems to drive sustainability transitions, and the importance of specific innovations within food systems for achieving more sustainable production and consumption in Europe.
Genetic diversity, virulence factors and drug resistance of Pantoea strains isolated from samples of fresh fruits, vegetables and soil
(Państwowy Instytut Weterynaryjny - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, 2025-09-13) Fabian, Ewelina ; Kowalczyk, Katarzyna; Kłapeć, Teresa; Sroka, Jacek; Skowron, Piotr ; Siebielec, Grzegorz; Jadczyszyn, Tamara ; Zdybel, Jolanta Małgorzata ; Cencek, Tomasz ; Wójcik-Fatla, Angelina
Pantoea is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria from the Erwiniaceae family. These bacteria are opportunistic human pathogens which are widely distributed in plants and soil. This study aimed to reveal the genetic diversity of Pantoea isolates from food and soil, characterise them biochemically and evaluate their drug resistance. Material and Methods: Thirty Pantoea strains were isolated from fresh fruit (n = 2), fresh and minimally processed vegetables (n = 12) and soil samples (n = 16). The genomic DNA was isolated from cultures on nutrient agar, and species were identified by amplification of 16S ribosomal RNA and housekeeping gene fragments and confirmed by sequencing. Virulence gene presence was determined by amplification of the hcp (haemolysin-coregulated protein), vgrG (glycine-valine repeat sequence G), acrA (anti–clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat protein A) and acrB genes. Isolate drug resistance was tested using the disc-diffusion and gradient strip methods. The presence of Ambler class C (AmpC) β-lactamase (βL) and extended-spectrum (ES) βL resistance genes was tested for. Results: Five species were identified: P. agglomerans (n = 24), P. ananatis (n = 1), P. eucalypti (n = 1), P. conspicua (n = 1) and P. vagans (n = 2). The hcp and vrgG virulence genes were detected in 7 and 1 strain, respectively. All strains showed high resistance to cephazolin and cephuroxime, and more than half did so to ampicillin. The production of AmpC βL and ESβL was confirmed in 22 and 25 strains, respectively. Three strains of the Pantoea bacteria, including P. ananatis from leeks and P. agglomerans from arugula and soil, showed resistance to three or more antimicrobial classes. Conclusion: Pantoea spp., including multidrug-resistant strains, in fresh foods pose a potential risk of infection to consumers.
