In the review the problems of restoration of genetic coadaptation in some agricultural crops under creation of synthetic genotypes using sexual hybridization and transgenosis are considered. On the basis of the study of multiple molecular forms of the enzymes, the mechanisms of formation of adaptive complexes of genes (ACG) are traced. Cytogenetic mechanisms interfering stabilization of synthetic genotypes are considered.

Random Mating in a Hybrid Zone Between Two Putative Climate-Adapted Bird Lineages With Predicted Mitonuclear Incompatibilities.
Mol Ecol

School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia.
Biochemical and evolutionary interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes ('mitonuclear interactions') are proposed to underpin fundamental aspects of biology including evolution of sexual reproduction, adaptation and speciation. We investigated the role of pre-mating isolation in maintaining functional mitonuclear interactions in wild populations bearing diverged, putatively co-adapted mitonuclear genotypes. Two lineages of eastern yellow robin Eopsaltria australis-putatively climate-adapted to 'inland' and 'coastal' climates-differ by ~7% of mitogenome nucleotides, whereas nuclear genome differences are concentrated into a sex-linked region enriched with mitochondrial functions.

While existing studies on genetic structure in symbiont populations have focused on broader scales of 10-100 s of km, there is a noticeable gap in understanding the seascape genetics of coral symbionts at finer-yet ecologically and evolutionarily relevant-scales. Here, we mapped short reads from 271 holobiont genome libraries of individual colonies to protein coding genes from the chloroplast genome to identify patterns of symbiont population genetic structure.

Alternative reproductive tactics are discrete, intrasexual differences in reproductive behaviour within a population. In some cases, these complex phenotypes are determined by autosomal supergenes or sex chromosomes-both of which exhibit reduced recombination and thus enable the linked inheritance of co-adapted alleles from multiple loci. Most alternative reproductive tactics in amphibians are plastic (and reversible), environmentally determined and lacking morphological differentiation, but a striking exception is found in the two-lined salamander (Eurycea bislineata) species complex.

Article Synopsis
- Bacillus subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium, has been studied with both lytic and temperate phages, notably the lytic phage ϕ29, which serves as a model for viral DNA processes.
- The discovery of a peptide-based quorum sensing system in 2017 has renewed interest in temperate phages from the SPβ family and their role in lysis-lysogeny decisions.
- Research highlights a complex evolutionary relationship between B. subtilis and SPβ-like phages, emphasizing the importance of comparing lysis-lysogeny systems and encouraging the exploration of other temperate phages beyond the SPβ family.
Testing the evolutionary theory of inversion polymorphisms in the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus).

Chromosomal inversions have been implicated in a remarkable range of natural phenomena, but it remains unclear how much they contribute to standing genetic variation. Here, we evaluate 64 inversions that segregate within a single natural population of the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus). Nucleotide diversity patterns confirm low internal variation for the derived orientation (predicted by recent origin), elevated diversity between orientations (predicted by natural selection), and localized fluctuations (predicted by gene flux).
