“…In the last decade investigations have focused on geology, mineralogy and pedology (Fekete et al 1997;Né meth et al 1999;Fekete 2002;Fö ldvá ri and Ková cs-Pá lffy 2002;Vicziá n 2002a, b;Beré nyi-Ü veges et al 2003;Koloszá r and Marsi 2005). Complex investigation including geology, geomorphology, mineralogy and geochemistry was carried out only a few authors like Schweitzer and Szö } or (1997) and Ková cs (2003).…”

The red clay is a significant deposit underlying the Pleistocene loess-paleosols sequence in the Pannonian Basin. The sedimentary processes involved and the origin of the materials remain controversial. In order to determine the depositional processes of the Pliocene red clay formation we studied many red clay sections in Hungary. Here, we present results of grainsize analyses of the red clay from representative sites. In particular their grain-size distribution is compared with that of typical Pleistocene eolian loess-paleosols, as well as lacustrine and fluvial sediments. It appears from the sedimentological data that the majority of the red clay is of a wind-blown origin. The red clay might be transported by weak westerly winds and has been modified by post-depositional alteration.

“…During the course of this phase, the varied lithologically, biologically, and chronologicallybased stratigraphy of the Hungarian Quaternary formations was established by the specialists of the "schools" of the Geological Institute, Geographical Research Institute, Institute of Nuclear Research, museums and universities, led by András Rónai, Annamária Nádor, László Kuti, Márton Pécsi, Zoltán Borsy, Pál S€ umegi, Miklós Kretzoi, Andrea Mindszenty and Gyula Gábris. The lithostratigraphy was supported by cycle analyses in the basin areas as well as by fossilized soil horizons (Pécsi 1993;Koloszár and Marsi 2005) and observation of tephra layers (Gábris et al 1991) in the loess areas.…”

“…According to Jámbor (1997), loess was formed in hilly regions between 1.2 Ma and 12 ka ago. Stratigraphic relations of these terrestrial sediments are described in classical studies of the vertebrate fauna by Kretzoi (1956Kretzoi ( , 1969 and Jánossy (1986) and in more recent summaries by Koloszár (2004), Koloszár and Marsi (2005), and Kovács et al (2008). Schweitzer and Szöőr (1997) distinguished and characterised the subsequent periods set up by the former authors as Ruscinian (4.5-3.0 Ma), Villanyian (3.0-1.8 Ma), and Biharian (younger than 1.8 Ma).…”

The effect of water reduction stress on photosynthetic efficiency and the agronomic traits of 10 bread winter wheat cultivars were investigated, with an aim to develop breeding methods for improving wheat drought tolerance. In the 2008 and 2009 crop seasons, the trial was grown in vegetative pots according to the method of a 2-factorial experiment (cultivar and treatment) as a randomized complete block with 3 replications. The stressed version of the treatment was exposed to mild water reduction short-term stress 3 times (at the end of tillering stage, at the flag leaf to beginning of heading stage, and at the grain filling stage). Three photosynthetic efficiency parameters (F v /F m , ET 0 /ABS, and PI ABS ) were investigated at the end of the tillering stage (water content of soil: 22.4%-28.8% volume for the stressed variant and 29.8%-37.9% volume for the control), and 6 agronomic traits were estimated before and after winter wheat harvest. Significant differences were detected among cultivars for all investigated traits. The investigation revealed that water reduction stress decreased all examined agronomic traits. However, photosynthetic parameters mostly had higher values during mild short-term drought stress conditions. In addition, a significant interaction between cultivars and treatments was detected for 1000-grain weight and grain number per spike, but there was not any significant interaction for harvest index, number of spikes per pot, grain yield, and biomass per pot, nor for photosynthetic efficiency parameters.
