- Rf1 is a crucial gene for restoring male fertility in sunflowers, but its exact location and function have yet to be fully determined.
- Researchers have developed two new markers based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to the Rf1 gene, which have proven effective for genotyping various sunflower accessions and populations.
- The study successfully pinpointed the Rf1 gene's location to a region of 59 Kb, narrowing down candidate genes but suggesting further analysis may uncover additional candidates not present in the reference genome of cytoplasmic male sterility maintainer lines.
As a result of the accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, significant territories were exposed to ionizing radiation. Some isotopes, such as Cs, are capable of making a significant impact on living organisms in the long-term perspective. The generation of reactive oxygen species is one mechanism by which ionizing radiation affects living organisms, initiating mechanisms of antioxidant protection.
