In Vitro Collection for the Safe Storage of Grapevine Hybrids and Identification of the Presence of Resistance Genes.

This paper focuses on the creation of an in vitro collection of grapevine hybrids from the breeding program of the Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Fruit Growing and Viticulture and investigates the presence of resistance mediated by and loci. We looked at the optimization of in vitro establishment using either shoots taken directly from field-grown plants or from budwood cuttings forced indoors. We further screened for the presence of endophyte contamination in the initiated explants and optimized the multiplication stage.

In vitro cold acclimation is required for successful cryopreservation of Juglans regia L. shoot tips.

Background: Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most economically important nut crops. In the Western Tien Shan in Kazakhstan, walnut forests are the northernmost in the natural range of this species.

Effect of Plant Preservative Mixture on Endophytic Bacteria Eradication from In Vitro-Grown Apple Shoots.

Endophytic contaminants are a common problem for the in vitro propagation of woody plants and have significant economic repercussions for the conservation of plant genetic resources and commercial micropropagation. In this study, first, the microbial contamination that appeared around the base of in vitro-grown apple shoots was identified as . Then, plant preservative mixture (PPM) was used as a bactericidal agent in plant tissue culture.

CRYOTHERAPY AS A METHOD FOR REDUCING THE VIRUS INFECTION OF APPLES (Malus sp.).

Background: There is an urgent need in Kazakhstan for virus-free nursery stock to reinvigorate the industry and preserve historic cultivars. An in vitro collection of apples could be used for virus testing and elimination and to provide virus-free elite stock plants to nurseries.

Methods: Malus sieversii Ledeb.

Cold acclimation improves regrowth of cryopreserved apple shoot tips.

Cryopreservation is important for safeguarding the genetic resources of apple germplasm in Kazakhstan, the center of origin for apples. In this study, conducted with five apple genotypes [Malus domestica Borkh. and Malus sieversii (Ledeb.

[The current concept of immunological disorders in the case of basal-cell carcinoma].

Imbalance in the interaction of mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity rather than selective defect of each of the links is a determinant of the development of basal-cell carcinoma of this or that form of immunopathology or that of transformation of one to another form. The lecture gives notions on immunological phenotypes and the parameters of innate and adaptive immunity and on the association of two links of immunity. The major tumor-associated immunological phenotypes are pathogenetically and clinically different, but have signs of two-link immunodeficiency in each case.

[DNA-abzymes in rheumatoid arthritis: pathogenetic and clinical significance].

Aim: To study possible pathogenetic role and clinical significance of DNA-hydrolysing autoantibodies (autoAB) or DNA-abzymes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Material And Methods: Prevalence of DNA-abzymes and their catalytic activity were studied in 400 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 88 healthy donors matched by age and gender.

Results: Associated with DNA-binding autoAB DNA-hydrolysing activity was detected in 41.

[Basic trends in general human pathology and principles of its teaching in higher medical education].

The paper considers the current trends in the development of biological and medical sciences: their subject, tasks, methods, and place of General Human Pathology among other subjects, its value for the clinical discipline. It defines and analyzes the most topical and disputable directions of General Human Pathology, primarily including those which form the bases for the pathology theory. Arguments are advanced for the necessity of introducing the subject General Pathology of Man into the curriculum of higher medical educational establishments at various faculties.

[Glucose consumption by the rat brain in ethanol intoxication and the abstinence syndrome].

The effect of acute and chronic alcohol intoxication and of the syndrome of ethanol withdrawal on the consumption of glucose by the brain of rats was studied by means of intravascular ethanol infusion. Infusion of ethanol into the internal carotid artery had no effect on glucose consumption by the brain, while its infusion into the femoral vein reduced consumption twofold. The effect was completely removed by the inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase pyrazole.
