a1_Photosynthetic gas exchange, dry mass production, water relations and inducibility of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) pathway as well as antioxidative protection during the C3-CAM shift were investigated in Sedum album and Sedum stoloniferum from Crassulaceae under water stress for 20 days. Leaf relative water content (RWC), leaf osmotic and water potential decreased with increasing water stress in both studied species. Significant reduction in dry matter production and leaf thickness was detected only in S. stoloniferum after 20-d water stress. Δtitratable acidity and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity in S. album responded to drought at early stages of stress treatment, continued to increase throughout the entire stress period and reached levels 15 times higher than those in well-watered plants. In S. stoloniferum, however, both parameters responded later and after a transient increase declined again. In S. stoloniferum, in spite of increase by drought stress, net night-time CO2 assimilation was negative resembling a C3-like pattern of gas exchange. Catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities increased in plants subjected to mild water stress while declined as the stress became severe. Although malondialdehyde (MDA) content was higher in drought-stressed S. stoloniferum, the increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that may act as a signal for C3-CAM transition was higher in S. album compared with S. stoloniferum. In drought-stressed plants, SOD activity showed a clear diurnal fluctuation that was more steadily expressed in S. album. In addition, such pattern was observed for CAT only in S. album. We concluded that temporal and diurnal fluctuation patterns in the activity of antioxidant enzymes depended on duration of drought stress and was related to the mode of photosynthesis and degree of CAM induction., a2_According to our results, S. stoloniferum developed a low degree of CAM activity, e.g. CAM-cycling metabolism, under drought conditions., G.

Re‑readingPlato’s Ion as the first text in the hermeneutics tradition, the author finds two mainstreams. The first, based on reflection (rationality, logic, knowledge) stems from Socrates; thesecond, consisting in an affective approach (myth, art), stems from Ion. Both Socrates andIon delimit this field of hermeneutics (legein peri or ‘speaking about’) staying beyond its frontiers.Next, the author exploits the Socrates: Ion binary in order to interpret some key figures,trends, and schools within the whole tradition (rabbis, St Augustine, Pietism, Schleiermacher,Nietzsche, Dilthey, explication de texte, Heidegger, Gadamer, Peter Szondi, the Nitra School,and Ricoeur). Writers tend towards either the Socratic (explication de texte) or Ionic wing (Nietzsche).There are, however, also writers who attempted to find the middle ground, a positionoffering both reflexion and intuition (Schleiermacher, Gadamer, and Ricoeur). The author concludesthat the main challenge issuing from his interpretation is to remain close to a text, andresist any temptation to go beyond it.
