The aim is to test the validity of home breeders assumption that strong photosensitivity in winter bread wheat limits the possibility of breeding improvement for productivity. Methods. Estimation of photosensitivity levels in modern high-yielding foreign cultivars (mainly from Western Europe) and in the set of F5 hybrids with photosensitivity diversity, which were selected only for relatively high yields. Results. Among the modern high-yielding foreign cultivars recommended for cultivation in Ukraine, carriers of strong photosensitivity have been identified with a significantly high frequency (up to 33.3 ± 0.75 %). In contrast, almost all modern Ukrainian cultivars are weakly photosensitive. When selecting in Odessa environment only the best-yielding families and lines from hybrid combinations, in which parents clearly differed in photosensitivity levels, F5 did not show a shift towards reducing the frequency of highly photosensitive phenotypes. It was statistically consistent with random variation without selection. Conclusions. High photosensitivity does not limit the efforts of breeders to improve the productivity potential of winter bread wheat. And for certain growing regions of this crop, it can be a factor in better environmental adaptability to get a real yield.","PeriodicalId":12181,"journal":{"name":"Faktori eksperimental'noi evolucii organizmiv","volume":"9 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82697933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of peroxidase in the stimulation of protective mechanisms has been established and the role of phytohormones in these processes has been revealed. It was found that when using stepwise selection of tomato cell culture in vitro, samples of TTP-1 and TTP-2, tolerant to salinity, were selected and worked on. The effect of peroxidase on the growth of plant resistance during foliar treatment with signaling molecules is also shown. Conclusions. It has been shown that signaling molecules are actively involved in the antioxidant protection of plants under stress caused by air and soil drought. The signaling molecules we use have a protective effect under stress: specialty characteristic is a very active part in the recovery process after the adverse effects of various factors. The increase in the activity of the antioxidant enzyme peroxidase also contributes to the activation of the systemic resistance of tomato plants against high temperatures.","PeriodicalId":12181,"journal":{"name":"Faktori eksperimental'noi evolucii organizmiv","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91338123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The expression status of the DNA repair enzyme O (6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is important when planning the treatment of patients with oncology, because its presence in tumor cells may reduce the effectiveness of alkylating chemotherapy. Alkylating chemotherapy is combined with hormone therapy in the treatment of tumors, so the study of the effect of β-estradiol on the number of transcripts of the human MGMT gene in cells in vitro has not only theoretical and also practical significance. Methods. We used a variety of methods, including culture, molecular genetic and biochemical, such as RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, reverse transcriptase PCR, agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and statistical processing of the results. Results. We found a tendency of β-estradiol to downregulate the MGMT gene at mRNA level in both HEp-2 and 293 cells in a range of concentrations, except concentrations 1 and 5 nmol/L of β-estradiol in 293 cells.

In two-year experiments, 10 unrelated maize inbreds of the common type and 10 inbreds – carriers of the wx mutation were analyzed. Genetic analysis of palmitate content was carried out in the diallel crosses of 6 indreds – carriers of the wx mutation by the second Griffing method. The palmitate content was determined by Peysker’s gas chromatographic method. Results. Carriers of the wx mutation of maize exceeded the maize of common type in the content of glycerides of palmitic acid in oils. The content of palmitate in unrelated inbreds – carriers of the wx mutation was subjected to quantitative variability and ranged from 13.3 % to 16.4 %. Inheritance of palmitate content in the waxy corn was carrired out by the type of incomplete dominance with a predominant contribution of additive effects to the variation. A higher level of trait was controlled by recessive alleles of polygens. Conclusions. The obtained results suggest the presence in chromosome 9 of spatial linkage of the mutant wx gene with palmitate - coding locus, the effect of which is modified by a polygenic complex.","PeriodicalId":12181,"journal":{"name":"Faktori eksperimental'noi evolucii organizmiv","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83488575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To test the effects of HCCH and its microbial degradation products obtained by strains of Bacillus megaterium, Pseudomonas putide 3, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 6, these compounds were added to nutrient medium for tomato cultivation. As explants the segments of hypocotyls of L. esculentum seedlings were used. For plant regeneration, MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l of zeatin and 1 mg/l IAA was used. Results. It was found that the products of HCCH destruction stimulate the shoot regeneration, but inhibit their rooting, whereas HCCH inhibits the shoot formation and provokes further morphophysiological changes in plants. Conclusions. A pronounced negative effect of pesticide HCCH on cells and tissues of tomato in vitro was revealed.

Wild hazel species (Corylus L.), and hazelnut (Corylus domestica Kos. et Opal.) cultivars are the monoecious anemophilous plants of the birch family (Betulaceae Gray). Due to the early spring catkins bloom of most Corylus, which occurs in March–April in Ukraine, their flowers may be damaged by late spring frosts, causing a decrease in the yield of nuts. That's why the study of the characteristics of the male gametophyte is of general scientific and applied importance for breeding and fruit growing. Methods. Study of pollen of hazelnut cultivars, representatives of C. avellana L., and C. chinensis Franch. from the collection of NDP \"Sofiyivka\" of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine was done using standard methods. Results. It turned out that the pollen of the ‘Sofiyivsky 15’ (cultivar selected from the hybrid population of ‘Garibaldi’×C. chinensis seedlings) had a greater likeness to paternal parent pollen than maternal parent pollen. According to the fertility, size, and shape of pollen grains, the pollen studied by Corylus spp. is characterized by a slight cultivar-form-species polymorphism. Conclusions.

Other conditions: photoperiod 16 hours, illuminance 2500 lx, relative humidity 60–80%, air temperature 22–24°C. Results. The ability to form callus and somatic embryogenesis of flax depends on the phytohormonal composition of the nutrient medium, the size of the explants and the distance between them. Conclusions. For intensive callus formation and somatic embryogenesis in vitro, the optimal concentrations of BAP (mg/l) can be expressed as 1.0 ≤ BAP ≤ 1.75; the optimal concentrations of BAP for the medium supplemented with NAA (0.05 mg/l) 0.5 ≤ BAP ≤ 2.0; the optimal concentration of NAA for the medium supplemented with BAP (1.0 mg/l) 0.025 ≤ NAA ≤ 0.150; and the optimal concentrations of IAA for the medium supplemented with BAP (1.0 mg/l) 0.05 ≤ IAA ≤ 0.50. Addition of 0.5 mg/l GA3 to the medium with NAA and BAP is effective. It is optimal to use hypocotyl explants 3–6 mm long and place them at a distance of 1.5–2.5 cm from each other.

It was found that both under normal conditions and under conditions of water deficiency, plants of seed generation T2 have an increased level of free Proline in the leaves compared to control genotypes. It was found that transformants are characterized by reduced activity of the enzyme proline dehydrogenase, which is manifested by changes in normal – stress – normal conditions. Transgenic T2 plants had a higher tolerance to water deficiency compared to the original, which was reflected in the nature of their growth. In conditions of soil moisture deficiency, the yield of most transformed lines was higher compared to untransformed plants. Conclusions.
