First report of fig mosaic virus on fig in Russia.

Fig mosaic virus (FMV) (genus Emaravirus in the family Fimoviridae) is considered the etiological agent of fig mosaic disease (FMD) that is recorded in most of the fig growing areas with an average global infection rate of 33%. The multipartite FMV genome is comprised of six negative monocistronic ssRNAs, each of which is separately encapsidated (Preising et al. 2020).

The Structural Arrangement and Relative Abundance of Aliphatic Units May Effect Long-Wave Absorbance of Natural Organic Matter as Revealed by H NMR Spectroscopy.

The objective of this study was to shed light on structural features which underlay intensity of long wave absorbance of natural organic matter (NOM) using H NMR spectroscopy. For this purpose, a set of the NOM samples was assembled from arctic and nonarctic sampling sites (the Kolyma river basin and Moscow region, respectively). It was to ensure a substantial difference in the humification degree of the isolated organic matter-the biogeochemical proxy of the long-wave absorbance of NOM.

[Gene mutations in patients with hereditary cavernous malformations].

Aim: To identify mutations in cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) genes in patients with hereditary and sporadic CCMs in the Russian population.

Material And Methods: Blood samples from 73 randomly selected patients, including 29 MRI-confirmed familial cases, 8 clinically confirmed familial cases and 38 so-called sporadic cases, were examined. A search for large deletions/duplications was performed using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MPLA).

Molecular mapping of sorbent selectivities with respect to isolation of Arctic dissolved organic matter as measured by Fourier transform mass spectrometry.

The objectives of this study were to identify molecular features characteristic to arctic DOM from the Kolyma River basin and to elucidate structural imprints induced by a choice of the sorption technique. To achieve this goal, DOM was isolated from the Kolyma River basin with a use of three nonionic sorbents: Amberlite XAD-8 resin, PPL- and C18 - SPE cartridges, and one anion exchanging resin-diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) -cellulose. The structural studies were conducted with a use of electrospray ionization Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ESI FT-ICR) mass spectrometry and liquid state (1)H NMR spectroscopy.

Evidence for key enzymatic controls on metabolism of Arctic river organic matter.

Permafrost thaw in the Arctic driven by climate change is mobilizing ancient terrigenous organic carbon (OC) into fluvial networks. Understanding the controls on metabolism of this OC is imperative for assessing its role with respect to climate feedbacks. In this study, we examined the effect of inorganic nutrient supply and dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition on aquatic extracellular enzyme activities (EEAs) in waters draining the Kolyma River Basin (Siberia), including permafrost-derived OC.
