The genus L. (Fabaceae) includes about 200 species of annual and perennial herbs distributed in Asia, Europe, North Africa, and North America. Many species of this genus are valuable medicinal, melliferous, and forage resources.

Genome Variability in Artificial Allopolyploid Hybrids of L. and Balansa ex Coss. et Durieu Based on Marker Sequences of Satellite DNA and the ITS1-5.8S rDNA Region.

Artificial hybrids between cultivated species and wild that possess genes for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses can be important for oat breeding. For the first time, a comprehensive study of genomes of artificial fertile hybrids × and their parental species was carried out based on the chromosome FISH mapping of satellite DNA sequences (satDNAs) and also analysis of intragenomic polymorphism in the 18S-ITS1-5.8S rDNA region, using NGS data.

A Pipeline NanoTRF as a New Tool for Satellite DNA Identification in the Raw Nanopore Sequencing Reads of Plant Genomes.

High-copy tandemly organized repeats (TRs), or satellite DNA, is an important but still enigmatic component of eukaryotic genomes. TRs comprise arrays of multi-copy and highly similar tandem repeats, which makes the elucidation of TRs a very challenging task. Oxford Nanopore sequencing data provide a valuable source of information on TR organization at the single molecule level.

Cytogenomics of P. Beauv. (Poaceae) Species Based on Sequence Analyses and FISH Mapping of CON/COM Satellite DNA Families.

The genus P. Beauv. (Poaceae) involves a group of widespread polymorphic species, and many of them are highly tolerant to stressful environmental conditions.

Molecular Cytogenetics of Eurasian Species of the Genus L. (Fabaceae).

The systematic knowledge on the genus L. (Fabaceae: Hedysareae) is still incomplete. The species from the section are valuable forage and medicinal resources.

Agro-Morphological, Microanatomical and Molecular Cytogenetic Characterization of the Medicinal Plant L.

L. is a medicinal plant well-known as a valuable source of isoquinoline alkaloids, which has a variety of pharmacological properties including anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects. However, considerable intraspecific bio-morphological variability in complicates raw material identification and verification.

Molecular cytogenetics of valuable Arctic and sub-Arctic pasture grass species from the Aveneae/Poeae tribe complex (Poaceae).

Background: Grasslands in the Arctic tundra undergo irreversible degradation due to climatic changes and also over-exploitation and depletion of scarce resources. Comprehensive investigations of cytogenomic structures of valuable Arctic and sub-Arctic grassland species is essential for clarifying their genetic peculiarities and phylogenetic relationships, and also successful developing new forage grass cultivars with high levels of adaptation, stable productivity and longevity. We performed molecular cytogenetic characterization of insufficiently studied pasture grass species (Poaceae) from related genera representing two neighboring clades: 1) Deschampsia and Holcus; 2) Alopecurus, Arctagrostis and Beckmannia, which are the primary fodder resources in the Arctic tundra.

Phenotypic and molecular cytogenetic variability in calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) cultivars and mutant lines obtained via chemical mutagenesis.

The morphological, meiotic and chromosomal variability were studied in two cultivars of Calendula officinalis L. and their mutant lines obtained though chemical mutagenesis using diethyl sulphate (DES) (0.04%, 0.

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) response to non-optimal soil acidity and zinc deficiency.

Background: Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is grown for fiber and seed production. Unfavorable environments, such as nutrient deficiency and non-optimal soil acidity, decrease the quantity and quality of yield.

Characterization of repeated DNA sequences in genomes of blue-flowered flax.

Background: Members of different sections of the genus Linum are characterized by wide variability in size, morphology and number of chromosomes in karyotypes. Since such variability is determined mainly by the amount and composition of repeated sequences, we conducted a comparative study of the repeatomes of species from four sections forming a clade of blue-flowered flax. Based on the results of high-throughput genome sequencing performed in this study as well as available WGS data, bioinformatic analyses of repeated sequences from 12 flax samples were carried out using a graph-based clustering method.

Molecular Cytogenetics of L. Grown under Spaceflight-Related Stress.

The ontogenesis and reproduction of plants cultivated aboard a spacecraft occur inside the unique closed ecological system wherein plants are subjected to serious abiotic stresses. For the first time, a comparative molecular cytogenetic analysis of L.
