Methods. Tissue culture method, direct hemagglutination test for detection of lectin activity (LA), determination of lectin carbohydrate specificity, ultrasonic extraction method. The results. Lectin activity was detected in the soluble (supernatant) and insoluble (sediment) fractions of the extract of biomass U. victoris tissue culture. In the soluble fraction LA was significantly less compared to that in the sediment, which indicated the presence of the membrane-bound form of the lectin. LA was characterized by pronounced species specificity: the reaction with mouse erythrocytes was the most intense. The study of carbohydrate specificity revealed a weak affinity for monosugars (galactose and galactosamine) and pronounced suppression of LA in the case of polysaccharides - hyaluronic acid, heparin and mucin. The possibilities of the ultrasound extraction method for separation the detected lectin from the the cell surface in the sediment fraction were investigated and the extraction procedure was optimized. The transition of LA into the soluble phase under the influence of ultrasound depended on the following parameters: the concentration and volume of the extract, as well as the time of exposure to ultrasound. It was established that the LA of the soluble phase doubled compared to the initial one with an extract concentration of 50 mg/ml and a volume of 20 ml under the action of ultrasound 40 kHz/70 W in the interval of 15-45 minutes. Longer ultrasound treatment had a negative effect on LA. Conclusions. Lectin activity of U. victoris tissue culture biomass extracts was discovered for the first time, which can become a promising source of lectin with a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties. The general characteristics of the lectin were given, and its species and carbohydrate specificity was revealed. The lectin was generally characterized and its species and carbohydrate specificity were established. Possibilities of ultrasound extraction were used and the procedure was optimized to obtain a soluble form of the lectin, necessary for its further fundamental and practical research.","PeriodicalId":379244,"journal":{"name":"Visnik ukrains'kogo tovaristva genetikiv i selekcioneriv","volume":"56 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507055","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}

Among the tulips in the flora of Ukraine, the most problematic is the status of taxa of the complex species T. sylvestris L. Aim. To examine the organization and evolution of the nuclear 5S rDNA IGS region for four closely related Tulipa taxa and to evaluate the possibility of its use in the molecular taxonomy of this plant group. Methods. PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing of 5S rDNA repeat units, bioinformatic and phylogenetic analysis. Results. In this work, 5S rDNA repeats were sequenced for the species T. graniticola and T. ophiophylla, which are considered to be synonyms of T. sylvestris L. by many authors. We also assembled the main ribotypes from full-genome libraries of short Illumina reads for T. patens, and T. saxatilis, the species related to T. sylvestris. A comparative analysis of the structure of 5S rDNA sequences and a phylogenetic analysis based on the IGS region were carried out. Conclusions. A high level of 5S rDNA IGS variability has been demonstrated for representatives of the subgenus Eriostemones of the genus Tulipa. The use of 5S rDNA IGS for phylogenetic analysis enabled the clear delimitation of the closely related species T. saxatilis, T. patens, and the complex species T. sylvestris, as well as the delineation of the taxa with the controversial status, T. graniticola and T. ophiophylla. Therefore, the use of this region of the nuclear genome is a promising approach to the molecular taxonomy of the genus Tulipa.","PeriodicalId":379244,"journal":{"name":"Visnik ukrains'kogo tovaristva genetikiv i selekcioneriv","volume":"57 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507032","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}
