Abstract

All lindens provide Apidae insects with nectar, pollen, and honeydew. Lindens are important melliferous trees in Poland. The first purpose of the study was to carry out phenological observations of the flowering in ten linden taxa. The second aim was to analyse the content of linden pollen grains in the air of Lublin. A correlation between the parameters of the pollen season and meteorological factors was also determined. This study was conducted in the city of Lublin located in the central-eastern part of Poland. The flowering phenophases were analysed, using the method developed by Łukasiewicz, during the growing seasons of 2012-2015. Aerobiological monitoring, which was based on the volumetric method, was carried out over the 2001-2014 time period. As shown in the study, the flowering period of all the analysed linden taxa lasted 7 weeks, on average, from June 7 to July 24. The average length of the flowering period of the investigated taxa and hybrids was in the range of 12-17 days. Their flowering periods overlapped. The atmospheric pollen season lasted, on average, from mid-June to the second 10-day period of July. The highest concentration of airborne pollen was noted at the end of June. The pollen season pattern was significantly affected by temperature and relative air humidity as well as by rainfall in May and June. The investigations indicate a 9-day acceleration of the pollen season, which may be associated with global warming.

Abstract

In its stems and leaves, Heracleum sosnovskii Manden. contains furanocoumarins, which exert a phototoxic effect on humans. The aim of the investigations was to describe the external secretory structures of the epidermis and internal secretory tissues in organs responsible for emission of secretion that is toxic to human skin. The study was conducted using light and fluorescence microscopy. On the stems and leaves, various types of secretory trichomes with dispersed or deposited secretion were found. The trichomes were most abundant on the abaxial leaf surface. Epidermal cells and the secretion present on the trichomes exhibited intense fluorescence, which may indicate the presence of furanocoumarins in the tissue and trichome secretions.
