Intra- and Interpopulation Diversity of the Phytopathogenic Fungi of the Species.

Our study investigates the intra- and interpopulation diversity of phytopathogenic fungi, using as a model organism. A total of 136 strains, representing two populations, were collected from different winter cereal crops (rye, wheat, and triticale) across two agrocenoses. In these strains, we analyzed and compared genetic and phenotypic traits, exploring potential relationships between them.

[Experience of using bacteriophages in the complex treatment of children with aphthous stomatitis].

Unlabelled: Aphthous stomatitis (AS) is one of the most common diseases of the oral mucosa in children. A significant role in the pathogenesis of AS is assigned to the infectious-allergic factor.

The Aim: Of the work was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of topical application of bacteriophages in the complex treatment of children with aphthous stomatitis.

Resistance to Snow Mold as a Target Trait for Rye Breeding.

Winter rye is a versatile crop widely used for food and industry. Although rye is resistant to abiotic stressors and many phytopathogens, it is severely damaged by pink snow mold (SM)-a progressive disease caused by the psychrotolerant fungus under the snow cover or during prolonged periods of wet and cool conditions. Due to little use of the SM resistance sources in contemporary breeding, varieties with at least moderate resistance to SM are limited.
