Oxalate oxidase and non-enzymatic compounds of the antioxidative system in young Serbian spruce plants exposed to cadmium stress [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008 We studied changes in the concentrations of ascorbate and glutathione, composition of soluble phenolics, and activity of oxalate oxidase in 75-day-old Serbian spruce plants after exposure to 5 μM and 50μM cadmium for 6-48 h.

Characterization of Serbian Spruce Variability Applying Isoenzyme Markers [PDF]
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2010 The Serbian spruce seedling seed orchard at Godovik represents a base for production improvement of selected seed material from this species, which can be used as initial material for extension of its range. This research paper covers the five phenogroups which confirmed the existence of the characteristic traits in the second known generation.

Climate change threatens on endangered relict Serbian spruce [PDF]
Dendrochronologia, 2020 Abstract The increase in length and severity of drought events predicted for South-Eastern Europe are expected to engender important changes to remaining native forests. To make informed management decisions promoting their conservation, it is important to better understand their responses to climate and environmental disturbances. In this study, we

MOR and MOE of Serbian Spruce (Picea omorika Pančić/Purkyně) Wood from Natural Stands
Drvna industrija, 2021 The paper presents the results of testing the bending stress of Serbian spruce wood from natural stands. In testing the samples, in addition to the modulus of rupture, the bending stress at the proportionality limit, the ratio between the stress at the proportionality limit and the modulus of rupture as well as the modulus of elasticity of wood were ...

Allele polymorphism of Nad1 gene of the Serbian spruce mitochondrial genome
Genetika, 2007 Serbian spruce (Picea omorika /Panc./Purkyne), as the Balkan Peninsula endemic and the Tertiary relic, is a species whose survival is threatened by the constant restriction of its range caused by the global changes of environmental conditions and the adverse human impacts.

Exceptionally high levels of lead pollution in the Balkans from the Early Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 The Balkans are considered the birthplace of mineral resource exploitation and metalworking in Europe. However, since knowledge of the timing and extent of metallurgy in southeastern Europe is largely constrained by discontinuous archaeological findings,

The effect of pH on the activity of soluble peroxidase in needles of Serbian spruce (Picea omorika (Panč.) Purkinye): application of a mathematical model [PDF]
General Physiology and Biophysics, 2010 We studied the dependence of peroxidase (POD) activity on pH in crude extract of Picea omorika (Panc.) Purkinye needles and in its acidic and basic fractions, obtained by ion exchange chromatography. Nonlinear regression was applied on the activity data with pH as the explaining variable, using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.

Provenance Variation in Functional Traits of European Forest Trees: Meta-Analysis Reveals Effects of Taxa and Age Despite Critical Research Gaps. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis meta‐analysis on intraspecific variation in European trees studied the frequency of provenance variation, provenance–environment interaction, clinal variation along the climate of origin or transfer distance. While identifying trait group specific patterns of variation, research gaps have been identified in terms of age and geographical ...

Is the double-spined bark beetle Ips duplicatus a new threat to Picea omorika in urban habitats?
Plant Protection Science, 2021 The double-spined bark beetle Ips duplicatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) is an invasive forest pest having a broad range of coniferous hosts within Europe. We found this species to be also developing in the Serbian spruce Picea omorika.
