Understanding the driving forces affecting species occurrences is a prerequisite for determining the indicator suitability of crenic plants. We analysed 18 environmental variables in a two-step approach, evaluating their ability to explain the species composition of 222 springs on five siliceous mountain ranges, in central Germany and north-west Czech Republic (49.9°–50.8°N, 10.6°–12.8°E). First, we identified the significant environmental variables in three subsets of spatial, hydrophysical and hydrochemical variables using a forward-selection procedure. We then performed a partial canonical correspondence analysis (pCCA) to estimate the influence of each subset alone, as well as in combinations. We also used a multiple response permutation procedure (MRPP) to compare the five regions with respect to the dissimilarity of their vegetation composition and environmental variables. Hydrochemical factors played a fundamental role in determining the plant community of the investigated springs. Spatial factors, in particular altitude, were correlated with the hydrochemical factors, but were less important. Hydrophysical factors played only a marginal role. More precisely, species occurrence was mainly driven by a gradient of nutrient availability, which in turn reflected the acidity status. This gradient was primarily represented by high Al, Cd, and Mn concentrations in acidic crenic waters, high Ca and Mg concentrations were encountered in circumneutral springs. By comparing the five regions we could show that there are spatial patterns in the vegetation of springs, which provide valuable ecological information on the water quality. We therefore suggest that biomonitoring approaches to vegetation are suitable for revealing the acidity status of springs and their forested catchments.

Different methods to reduce the population of Arion lusitanicus are being tested in private gardens already infested naturally with the slug, as well as in arenas in the laboratory. After the first 2 years out of a 4 year project the following preliminary trends have been observed: Untreated gardens had the highest populations. Gardens with owners trapping and killing slugs had the lowest populations. Gardens that were rearranged to become drier had intermediate populations. In arenas in the laboratory, slugs avoided cocoa chips mulch and alginate.

Preliminary results from a Norwegian research project 2005-2008 on Arion lusitanicus was presented. In private gardens handpicking had the strongest effect on the population size, but creating relatively dry and open gardens, and removing suitable overwintering sites also had effect. The geographic distribution and life cycle are also presented. Foreløpige resultater fra et norsk forskningsprosjekt 2005-2008 på Iberiaskogsnegl ble presentert. I privathager hadde håndplukk den sterkeste effekten på populasjonsstørrelsen, men også det å skape relativt tørre og åpne hager, og å fjerne gunstige overvintringssteder hadde effekt. Artens utbredelse og livssyklus i Norge ble også presentert.

Fusarium graminearum causes head blight disease in wheat and barley. To help understand the infection process on wheat we studied global gene expression of F. graminearum in a time series from 24 to 196 hours after inoculation, compared to a non-inoculated control. The infection was rapid and after 48h over 4000 fungal genes were expressed. The number of genes expressed increased over time up to 96h (>8000 genes), and then declined at the 144h and 192h post inoculation time points. After subtraction of genes found expressed on complete medium, during carbon or nitrogen starvation, and on barley, only 355 were found exclusively expressed in wheat, mostly ones with unknown function (72.6%). These genes were mainly found in single-nucleotide polymorphism enriched islands on the chromosomes, suggesting a higher evolutionary selection pressure. The annotated genes were enriched in functional groups predicted to be involved in allantoin and allantoate transport, detoxification, nitrogen, sulfur and selenium metabolism, secondary metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and degradation of polysaccharides and ester compounds. Several putative secreted virulence factors were also found expressed in wheat.
