The article presents the results of studying the common problems of Rhododendron collection in the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, conducted in 2012-2020. There are several diseases and pests that commonly occur on rhododendrons every year. These include powdery mildew (Erysiphe azaleae), fungal leaf spots (Pestalotiopsis rhododendri, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Alternaria spp., Sphaerulina azaleae, Phyllosticta concentrica, Phyllosticta rhododendricola), black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus), garden foliage beetle (Phyllopertha horticola), click beetle (Hemicrepidius niger), red spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), physiological leaf spots, oedema, winter injury, chlorosis. Less common on rhododendrons are stem diseases (Botryosphaeria dothidea, Cadophora spp., Hymenoscyphus spp.), wilt (Fusarium oxysporum), bud blight (Seifertia azaleae), leaf and flower gall (Exobasidium rhododendri), rhododendron lacebug (Stephanitis rhododendri), greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum). There were identified that all evergreen and half evergreen rhododendrons have some resistance to powdery mildew, deciduous rhododendrons are more resistant to fungal leaf spots than evergreens. Damage to rhododendrons by insect pests usually does not cause significant harm but heavy feeding results in an unsightly plants.","PeriodicalId":20656,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Biological Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85968794","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 analysis of the dynamics of the breeding bird species richness in Minsk showed that its formation progressed in different ways. All in all, since 1946, 141 bird species have been recorded nesting (including allegedly) in the territory of Minsk.The breeding bird assemblages is dominated by dendrophilous (45.0 % of all species) as well as wetland and semi-aquatic (29,3 %) bird species, with more than half of all the breeding bird species (50.3 %) associated with trees and shrubs. In different periods, the breeding bird species richness varied, by now, it has noticeably increased (from 77 to 132 species). This happened due to the expansion of the administrative boundaries of the city with the inclusion of bird species of suburban habitats, an increase in the diversity of habitats suitable for bird nesting (for example, the formation of large water bodies) as well as due to active colonization of urban ecosystems by various bird species. At the same time, after 2000, 9 bird species stopped nesting and 17 bird species started nesting. Active processes of synurbization of some bird species on the European continent observed in recent decades have become the reason for the addition of new species to the avifauna in Minsk, although the basis of the current structure of bird population was formed back in 1986–1999. At the same time, the synurbized groups of various bird species may be of autochthonous, allochthonous, or mixed origin.","PeriodicalId":20656,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Biological Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82564387","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}

In the case of dendrimers, the dendrons are covalently linked at the central focal point. In the case of amphiphilic dendrons, dendrons are non-covalently linked by hydrophobic interactions, forming micellar structures. These nanoparticles are widely used in biology and medicine as contrast agents, carriers of drugs and genetic material. Their use in scientific practice requires an understanding of the basic mechanisms of their interaction with membranes – the main obstacle to the entry of dendrimers into the cell.

The aim of the study is to perform chromosomal labeling of common vole populations in various localities in Belarus to identify Microtus arvalis s. l. twin species in natural ecosystems. Based on the karyological analysis, 2 representatives of the cryptic group were identified in the study area: the Eastern European vole (2р = 54, NF = 56) and the common vole (2р = 46, NF = 86). Also, to confirm the species identity of the twin species, a molecular genetic analysis was performed by PCR typing. It was established that one studied individual from the cryptic group Microtus arvalis s. l. belongs to the species Microtus rossiaemeridionalis. A fragment of the cyt b mitochondrial gene was amplified in the size of 469 bp in the remaining individuals (n = 105), and a fragment of the cytochrome b mitochondrial gene in the size of 842 was amplified, which indicates that these representatives belong to the Microtus arvalis form “arvalis”.
