This article presents the results of testing IRAP DNA
markers Cass1 and Cass2 applied to Prunus spinosa.
The findings suggest the high perspectiveness of
their using for the study of genetic diversity of the
gene pool of this species. According to the results of
the analysis of the sample 12 genotypes were
identified from 6 to 13 fragments in the spectrum of
Cass1 and from 5 to 11 fragments for Cass2. As a
result of cluster analysis in the sample formed three
groups of samples. In one of the groups, which is
most distant from the other two, includes samples
taken in Ukraine, while the remaining two groups
included samples from Armenia, the Krasnodar
region region, the Republic of Adygea, Ukraine and
Moldova, and three cultural large-fruited form. The
distribution of samples in clusters corresponded to
their geographical origin that favors the objective
assessment of genetic distances between the samples
using Cass1 and Cass2 markers. Thus, it was
concluded that the prospects of using DNA markers
to study the genetic diversity within a species of
Prunus spinosa
100 years ago, on June 4, 1920, 32-year-old Professor of the Saratov University Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov (1887-1943) first reported at the III all-Russian selection Congress at the University of Saratov on his discovery of homological series in the study of parallelisms in the phenomena of hereditary variability by analogy with homological series of organic compounds. This discovery in genetics received the rank of law, the only one after the laws of G. Mendel. This major study was a further development of the genetic idea of C. Darwin on the origin of species. It showed the ways in which close species and genera of plants have a parallel formative process, because the crucial in the process of evolutionary development of living organisms – first of all, their genetic features. In cases where the development of a trait requires the joint and consistent action of many genes, the occurrence of homological series is inevitable, and this does not contradict the random variability of C. Darwin. In addition to its great genetic significance as a law of evolution, the law of homological series in hereditary variability is of great importance for botanists, plant breeders and breeders: it not only determines the place of each form in the plant world, but can also indicate to the breeder possible directions in his practical work. According to a number of geneticists and breeders, if G. Mendel discovered the rules of heredity, then N. I. Vavilov discovered the rules of variability
The pathogenic agent of apple scab disease, Venturia
inaequalis (Cooke) Winter, causes significant damage
to the industrial production of apples. Studying the
pathogen in pure culture is important for solving the
theoretical and practical issues of its biology. The
sporulation ability of the Venturia inaequalis
laboratory culture is an important diagnostic feature in
morphological culture analysis, in the test for
sensitivity to fungicides, when creating a collection
inoculum for an artificial infection. We have studied
the morphological features of conidiogenesis of pure
V. inaequalis culture, such as the location of
conidiogenic structures and their form. For the first
time in the laboratory culture of the pathogen,
sporulation in the thickness of agar on the substrate
mycelium was demonstrated. Conidiogenesis
proceeded according to the blastic-annellidic type.
Depending on the location of the conidiogenic
structures on the aerial or substrate mycelium, their
morphology was different. Conidiogenic areas in the
substrate mycelium could be observed with the
unaided eye, in the form of hyphal grit, while they
were conidia conglomerations in each annelid.
Annellide had a curved shape. On the aerial mycelium,
annelids were straight and always had only one
conidium. Differences in the morphology of
conidiogenic structures are supposed to be related to
the physical conditions of the environment in which
sporulation takes place. In the agar, each mature
conidium remaining at the apex of the annelid
interferes with the formation of the next one, which
results in its bending. The fixed arrangement of
conidiogenic structures and forming conidia in the
thickness of agar allows the use of substrate
sporification for model studies of the conidiogenesis
process
This overview and theoretical article deals with the consideration of hypothetical possibilities for the development of molecular-kinetic markers of agricultural plants allowing to quantify the effect of genotype-environment interaction on the basis of stability studies of mRNA. The development in view is based on the results of studies of the mRNA decay identity in vivo and in vitro (the ommp system), as well as the phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi), widely studied in plants. The ommp system has allowed to establish the relationship of the cultivar-specific growth reaction to the effects of low positive temperatures, dehydration, salinity, illumination and biologically active substances with the stability of the total and a number of gene-specific mRNAs of green and etiolated seedlings of winter soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Similar studies of mRNA stability have been conducted on ripening grains of maize (Zea mays L.), with a particular result of the in vivo and in vitro decay identity confirmed for major mRNAs of stored proteins, 19 and 22 kDa zeins, of normal maize and mutant according to the regulatory gene opaque-2, changing the amount and stability of zein mRNA in the maturing grain of high-lysine maize. Regulatory response of the organism through RNAi is also multiple and includes neutralization of viral and bacterial infections, reaction to pathogens and biologically active substances, circadian rhythms, water stress, hypoxia, mechanical stress, mineral nutrition, salt stress and temperature changes. Unfavorable environmental influences result in an increase or decrease in the expression of certain microRNAs (miRNAs). The change in mRNA stability is an important component of the gene expression regulation system in eukaryotic cells. The main determinants of mRNA stability are in the 3'-untranslated region. It is the It is the (U)nА sequence and the degree of polyadenylation of mRNA, i.e. length of its terminal homonucleotide chain. It is to this region that mRNA molecules are complementary to miRNA. The most important component, which largely determines the regularity of the genotype-environment interaction, is the polyadenyl sequence at the 3 'end of the mRNA. Its length depends both on the genotype and on the environmental conditions. There is evidence that polyadenylation degree of mRNA determines the secondary structure of the molecule. As is known, deadenylation of mRNA reduces its lifetime, and when the poly-A-tail reaches several dozens of nucleotides, an explosive disintegration of the mRNA molecule occurs. Consequently, in a living cell the following mRNA decomposition scheme appears to be logical: shortening the poly-A-tail of the mRNA opens the sites of miRNA interaction with the 3'-non-coding region of the mRNA molecule, which causes its degradation. Thus, it is safe to assume that the interaction of mRNA and miRNA in the ommp system is the underlying process for molecular-kinetic markers under development
We have described the theoretical assumptions and methodological solutions in the present review. They are innovative possibilities in the development of laboratory methods for assessing biological features of grain during the selection process
Professional apple gardening is bound to particular
risks, of which is essential losses of a harvest because
of diseases. An apple scab, the caused Venturia
inaequalis (Cooke) G. Winter, brings the greatest
loss. The main approach in monitoring of a scab of an
apple-tree is creation of grades, steady against
pathogen. In the present work we have carried out
phytopathology testing of generations of the seedlings
received from the free pollination of six forms of a
crab of Malus orientalis from a collection MOS VIR
(Maykop) characterized by a relative resistance to the
apple scab in 2-3 classes of damage by long-term data. For infection we used inoculum, consisting both
of natural population of a scab, and of strains of
pathogen of various cultivars and geographical origin.
When carrying out padding infection increase in force
of an infectious background that can be bound to
selection of the plants of biotypes of a fungus that are
most adapted for genotypes was noted. It is
recommended for precise elimination of unstable
plants at selection at early stages of an ontogenesis to
carry out more than one serial infection during the
season. By results of the phytopathological testing,
we highlighted three Malus orientalis forms from the
six studied No. 17982, 17985 and 3080 the most
perspective stability genes for an introgressiya in a
cultural gene pool of an apple tree
The study was performed to genotype some commercial wine yeast strains with SSR-markers. Five polymorphic SSR-markers were tested in a selection of 15 yeast strains. Tested SSR-markers showed a high level of informativeness as well as polymorphism and can be used further to analyze the genetic diversity of wine yeast
