    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[RETROTRANSPOSON BASED MARKERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS  IN BARLEY (Hordeum vulgare L.cvs.) TISSUE CULTURE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Barley has economical value and it is an important model plant. Transposons cover more than  80% of barley genome. More than 40 retrotransposons were characterized in barley genome.  This type of transposons replicate via RNA and move in the genome. As a result of these  movements, mutations and genome enlargements are occurred. During the recent years, active  transcripts and protein products of some retrotransposons have been determined. Somaclonal  variations are spontaneously occurred variations in tissue culture conditions. These variations  could be produced by genetic and/or epigenetic mechanisms and result in problems in gen  transfer applications. We investigated the retrotransposon movements in barley tissue culture  and regenerated plantlets using inter retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP), inter  primer binding side (iPBS) and analytical techniques (DNA and RNA levels) and determined  the relationship between retrotransposon movements, changes in copy number and  differention in culture conditions. For these purposes BARE1, NIKITA, BAGY2 and  SUKKULA retrotransposons were analyzed. Our research results show that tissue culture  conditions and time increase the transposon based variation and copy numbers of  retrotransposons and thus, cause genome enlargements. This research will be contribute the  understanding of basic mechanisms related to plant development and differentiation in  cultured material and also restriction of variations in applications.  Keywords: Barley, Tissue Culture, Retrotransposon markers, Somaclonal variation]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[CAN CONCRETE BE GREEN IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate  Change (UNFCCC) on May 17, 2000. The Kyoto Protocol was signed and ratified by the  governments of 192 states and territories in the world. The Kyoto Protocol was ratified by  Bosnia and Herzegovina on April 22, 2007, after completion of ratification procedures of all  government levels. The First National Report of Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance to the  UNFCCC was issued in 2009 and the Second National Report of Bosnia and Herzegovina in  accordance to the UNFCCC was adopted by B&amp;H Council of Ministers in July 2013. The  main goal of the Kyoto Protocol is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to environment what  caused many to focus on CO2 emissions as the most critical environment impact indicator.  Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material worldwide. One of its major  components is Portland cement as a binder. Total production of cement in Bosnia and  Herzegovina is about 850,000 tons in 2012, while fresh concrete production and concrete  products amount approximately to 1,300,000 tons in 2012. Taking in consideration that  production of every ton of cement yields to approximately 0.9 tons of CO2 and every cubic  meter of concrete contains about ten percent by weight of cement, significant quantity of CO2  is produced by cement industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is estimation in 2001, that  cement industry emissions of CO2 represented around 4 percent of total CO2 emissions by  energy and industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, substituting significant amounts of  cement in concrete mixture with industrial by-products such as silica fume, fly ash and blast  furnace slag also leads to minimization of cement consumption, even producing more durable  concrete. This paper discuss possibilities in decreasing CO2 emissions in cement and concrete  industry, as well as necessity of following directions of green and sustainable building in  Bosnia and Herzegovina.  Key Words: CO2 emission, cement, concrete, green buildings]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[COMPARISON OF CODON USAGE IN MITOCHONDRIAL GENOMES OF  RHINOLOPHID AND HIPPOSIDERID BATS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[According to current phylogenetic hypotheses, the bats of the families Rhinolophidae and  Hipposideridae are sister groups nested within the clade of Pteropodiformes. The  Hipposideridae are family of bats commonly known as the Old World leaf-nose bats. While  this family has long been considered as a rhinolophid subfamily Hipposiderinae, it is now  more generally classified as its own family. The Hipposideridae contain 10 living genera and  more than 70 species, mostly in the widespread genus Hipposideros. This study is an attempt  to confirm a distinction between these two families by a codon usage comparison of a  complete set of mitochondrial protein-coding genes from currently available mitochondrial  (mt) genomes of rhinolophid and hiposiderid bats. The INCA 2.1 and GCUA 2.0 were used  for the codon usage computing. Measure Independent of Length and Composition (MILC),  was used to estimate the codon usage of 13 mt protein-coding genes from five species of  genus Rhinolophus and one species of Hipposideros (while only four genes were available  from H. larvatus). Large randomly generated sequence sets were used to test for dependence  on (i) sequence length, (ii) overall amount of codon bias and (iii) codon bias discrepancy in  the sequences. Our findings suggest no significant differences in codon usage bias, among  analyzed rhinolophid species, by statistical estimation of absolute frequency values despite  the changed MILC values for nd1 and nd3 from Hipposideros armiger.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[BIOMONITORING OF LEAD POLLUTION ON THE URBAN FLORA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, the first aim was to find out the measures of lead (Pb) as the heavy metal  pollution in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The second aim was to test if chicory,  Cichorium intybus L., can be used as a biomonitor of heavy metal pollution. Twenty-eight  sites (urban, suburban and rural) in Sarajevo were investigated during the summer period in  2010. Concentrations of Pb were determined in leaves and roots of Cichorium intybus L. and  also in soils collected from a wide range of sites with different degrees of metal pollution. As  a result of measurements, the highest values of lead accumulations in plants have been  observed in roots as expected. The highest values were detected as 30.10 mgkg-1 dry weight  in roots and as 28.20 mgkg-1 dry weight in leaves in the PMF garden in Pofalici. On the other  hand, the highest value of lead was detected as 450.05 mgkg-1 dry weight in soil in Museum  Garden. Theoretically it is expected to observe highest accumulation in soils, roots and leaves,  respectively. After getting results, it is observed the relationship of lead accumulation among  soils, roots and leaves as expected. Cichorium intybus L. was found to be a useful biomonitor  in the determination of lead pollution.  Key words: Cichorium intybus L., lead pollution, biomonitoring, Sarajevo]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES FERTILIZERS ON GRAIN YIELD IN  DIFFERENT SORTS OF FLAX]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A few years ago began the re-cultivation of flax in the area of the northwestern part of Bosnia  and Herzegovina with the ultimate aim of producing seeds and fibers. Flax seed contains  about 57 % alpha linolenic acid known by multiple medical effects as the guardian of  cardiovascular health, and which the current way of nutrition we take into the organism in  about ten times smaller quantity than those recommended by the World Health Organization.  In addition to the seed of the flax are obtained with high quality fibers that are  environmentally acceptable and for which there is a great need in the area of the European  Union. In order to achieve higher yields have been conducted research on the effects of  fertilization on seed yield. For this purpose, the experiment was conducted under field  conditions at two locations (Cojluk and Ostruznica) in a split-plot design. In the research were  used three varieties (Mikael, Belstar and variety X) with five fertilization treatments: T1 -  control, T2 - mineral fertilizers T3 - organic fertilization, T4 - bacterial fertilizer (Azoter) and  T5 - bacterial+organic fertilizer. Based on the obtained results, the two-year investigation of  morphological and phenological traits was found that there were differences between the  studied varieties and fertilizer on the basis of treatment. Statistical significance of highest  yield at both locations was obtained by variety Belstar with fertilization treatment T5 (1600  kg/ha Ostruznica and 1900 kg/ha Cojluk). With the aid of the Kruskal-Wallis test revealed  significant differences in fertilization treatments, which had an impact on all the  characteristics of the flax plant, the statistical differences between the varieties studied traits  less significant. After the research, as the best variety for cultivation, and on the basis of the  yield level, recommended varieties Belstar with the aforementioned method of fertilization  (T5).

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[EFFECT OF DIFFERENT FERTILIZERS TYPES ON FLAX FIBRES  CHARACTERISTICS  IN DIFFERENT CULTIVARS OF FLAX]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This work presents the results of research on the impact of organic, minerals, organic and  microbiological fertilizers on characteristics of flax fibers in three different varieties of flax.  The experiment was performed in the municipality of Bosanska Krupa in 2012. The parcel  was set up in randomized block of design with four replications, and the size of the  assessment parcel was 10 m2. All three varieties are sown on the basis of 1000 germinable  seeds per m2. They represented two foreign sorts: Michael, Belstar and domestic sort X. In the  autumn mineral fertilizers were entered in soil in the scale of NPK = 15:15:15, 250 g/20m2, 3  kg/20m2 of manure and 10 l/ha of microbiological fertilizers &#039;&#039;Azoter&#039;&#039;. The different  combinations of fertilizers were used: organic fertilizer, microbiological fertilizer,  organic+microbiological fertilizer and control (without fertilization) - for each tested sort. The  research was a multi-factorial (cultivar and method of fertilization). According to the results  obtained during the one-year research, Michael and Belstar varieties have achieved the best  results with organic+bacteriological fertilizer. Fibers got out of Michael and Belstar variety  have better quality, they are longer and harder, which makes them suitable for use in technical  textiles where even coarser fibres get more important. X sort fibres are the shortest and the  thickest, so they give better results with bacteriological fertilizers.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[OVERVIEW OF THE AUTOSOMAL STR CLUSTERING BETWEEN BALKAN  POPULATIONS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) are the most widely used DNA markers in forensic  investigation of the population history, human migration patterns, and genealogical research.  In this study, the usefulness of 13 most widely used STR loci (D3S1358, TH01, D21S11,  D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX, and FGA)  was examined along with the investigation of their application in the studies of the phylogeny  of human populations. We compared allele frequencies of STR loci of the populations from  the Balkan Peninsula to determine the similarities and differences among them and to  determine how informative they are when it comes to the human identity testing. We made  UPGMA phylogenetic tree using POPTREE2 software and Nei’s table of genetic distances  using MEGA5.21 software. Additionally, MDS (multidimensional scaling) plot was generated  using SPSS 20.0 software. The results implied that both geographical proximity and shared  history are determining the strong clustering of the populations on the Balkans. Another  conclusion drawn from this overview is that the studied STR markers are highly polymorphic  and thus, satisfyingly informative to be used for human identity testing and phylogenetic  research.
