Cytogenetic features of intergeneric amphydiploids and genome-substituted forms of wheat.

Synthetic intergeneric amphydiploids and genome-substituted wheat forms are an important source for transferring agronomically valuable genes from wild species into the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome. They can be used both in academic research and for breeding purposes as an original material for developing wheat-alien addition and substitution lines followed by translocation induction with the aid of irradiation or nonhomologous chromosome pairing.

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.

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.

[Genomic Markers Associated with Cold-Hardiness in Brassica rapa L.].

Brassica rapa L. is a valuable and widespread species, but its cultivation in risk farming areas requires high-quality cold-hardy varieties to be developed. Mechanisms of the cold stress response in plants involve expression of numerous genes, including ribosomal ones, and are related to plant chromosome variability.

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.

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.

Evolution of blue-flowered species of genus Linum based on high-throughput sequencing of ribosomal RNA genes.

Background: The species relationships within the genus Linum have already been studied several times by means of different molecular and phylogenetic approaches. Nevertheless, a number of ambiguities in phylogeny of Linum still remain unresolved. In particular, the species relationships within the sections Stellerolinum and Dasylinum need further clarification.
