Wild and cultivated strains of Lentinula edodes have been collected to form a germ-plasm bank of the mushroom. In addition to the ecological, morphological, and physical properties, the strains were characterized to determine their mating types (alleles of A and B incompatibility factors), substrate degradation abilities, mycelial growth rates, and fruiting abilities. The strains were used to establish molecular genetic methods of strain authentification. The genomic fingerprinting method of arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction was found to be a better method than the rDNA internal transcribed spacer regions sequence comparison for L. edodes strain typing. The utilization of the characterized germ-plasm bank for the selection of desirable germ plasm for breeding and cultivation is described. The value and use of molecular markers and genetic maps is also discussed. Key words: mating types, mycelial growth rate, molecular markers.

Aim. Molecular-genetic analysis of the chickpea genotypes for foc0, foc3, foc4 resistance genes to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp ciceris. Methods. Extraction and purification of DNA, spectrophotometry, polymerase chain reaction, electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. Results. 35 chickpea lines and varieties of Ukrainian and foreign breeding characterized according to genotyping on foc0, foc3, foc4 genes of resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp ciceris by the microsatellite markers TA59, TR19 and TR59. Fragments of the expected size for all markers were obtained for samples, for which the resistance level was fixed to certain races. Match between data on the presence of a amplification fragment of a certain size and resistance level among other samples is not found. Conclusions. For 35 chickpea varieties and lines the allele state of foc0, foc3, foc4 genes of resistance to the F. oxysporum f. sp ciceris races 0, 3, 4 is established. The variety ‘Pam’yat’ is recommended as a control of resistance to F. oxysporum f. sp ciceris races 0, 3, 4 in the southern Ukraine conditions.

AbstractDue to the rise in substitution and adulteration of herbal products, as well as the lack of genetic information on Hibiscus plants, more molecular markers are needed to understand the genetic diversity and avoid their misidentification. There are many allelic variants of the functional genes in Hibiscus and other plants, which control their respective phenotypes and other characteristics. Identifying alleles of the desired trait by determining diversification through gene-typing allele-specific markers for authentication is, therefore, a potent strategy. The purpose of this study was to use insertion/deletion (InDel) markers to identify Hibiscus syriacus cultivars. We developed a novel InDel marker for Korean Hibiscus ‘Simbaek’, based on the trnL-F region of the chloroplast gene. Through this InDel site, a modified specific primer pair and a novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system were developed for specific identification of the Korean Hibiscus Simbaek cultivar. The molecular markers developed in this study were highly specific and accurately authenticated as Simbaek from the five main cultivars of H. syriacus. Taken together, the described method is a potential tool for the identification and selection of germplasm resource of Simbaek cultivar. Graphical Abstract

Tomato Molecular MarkersTomato (Solanum lycopersicumL.) is one of the most popular vegetable grown in many regions of the world. Due to its high taste quality and nutritional value increase interest in the cultivation of this species and its consumption. Using the latest achievements in fields of genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology, breeders can create new varieties with improved useful traits. Introduction of DNA markers, especially those based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has led to breakthrough in the plants genetic research, including tomato. They are successfully used for plant genomes mapping, phylogenetics studies, selection of parental forms in plant breeding, and above all to identify the genes of important traits. For tomato have been identified and mapped 9309 molecular markers. High-density genetic maps development gives an opportunity to use them in genetic research and breeding programs. Identification of DNA markers closely linked to studied gene can significantly facilitate the identification of desirable traits in material breeding, or accelerate the plants selection for elimination of genotypes with undesirable genes. Material breeding selection using molecular markers, defined as MAS (marker-assisted-selection) is increasingly being used in tomato breeding programs, contributing to facilitated identification of genes or QTL and their transfer into the cultivated species from wild form.

Mating Factor

Detecting the mating types in shiitake, Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, is important for making progress in the breeding of this mushroom and determining the compatibility of the pair to cross. Shiitake is a tetrapolar fungus with two unlinking mating factors, A factor and B factor. We screened molecular markers linked to the mating factors using the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method to develop the mating type identification procedure. Using 147 oligonucleotide primers, a total of 6 linkage markers for the shiitake mating factors, 4 markers for the A factor and 2 markers for the B factor, were discovered with a logarithm of the odds threshold of 3.0 for linkage. Two RAPDs that perfectly segregated with each mating factor among 72 basidiospore strains were detected. Both of these RAPDs were cloned and sequenced to convert them to the sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers. Four primers, two sets of primers, were designed according to the internal sequences of two RAPDs tightly linking to the A factor or B factor. Consequently, we determined the polymerase chain reaction condition for multiplex analyses of these SCAR markers.Key words: Lentinula edodes, SCAR, diagnostic, mating type.

Due to the absence of elaborated effi cient means for specifi c prevention of bovine tuberculosis, it is ex- tremely important to detect and eliminate the source of infection and to take veterinary and sanitary preven- tive measures. Here the critical role is attributed to disinfection, which breaks the epizootic chain due to the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms in the environment and involves the application of disinfectants of different chemical groups. Aim. To study the tuberculocidal properties of new disinfectants DZPT-2 and FAG against atypical mycobacteria Mycobacterium fortitum and a TB agent Mycobacterium bovis. Methods. The bacteriological and molecular-genetic methods were used. Results. It was determined that DZPT-2 prepara- tion has bactericidal effect on M. fortuitum when used in the concentration of 2.0 % of the active ingredient (AI) when exposed for 5–24 h, while disinfectant FAG has a bactericidal effect in the concentration of 2.0 % when exposed for 24 h. Disinfectant DZPT-2 in the concentration of 2.0 % of the AI, when exposed for 5–24 h, and FAG preparation in the concentration of 2.0 %, when exposed for 24 h, and with the norm of consump- tion rate of 1 cubic decimeter per 1 square meter disinfect the test-objects (batiste, wood, glazed tile, metal, glass), contaminated with the TB agent M. bovis. Conclusions. Disinfecting preparations of DZPT-2 in the concentration of 2.0 % of AI when exposed for 5 h and FAG in the concentration of 2.0 % when exposed for 24 h may be used in the complex of veterinary and sanitary measures to prevent and control TB of farm ani- mals. The possibility of using the polymerase chain reaction as an additional method of estimating tuberculo- cide activity of disinfectants was proven.

Abstract Objectives Serologic testing for antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in potential donors of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) convalescent plasma (CCP) may not be performed until after blood donation. A hospital-based recruitment program for CCP may be an efficient way to identify potential donors prospectively Methods Patients who recovered from known or suspected COVID-19 were identified and recruited through medical record searches and public appeals in March and April 2020. Participants were screened with a modified donor history questionnaire and, if eligible, were asked for consent and tested for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgG and IgM). Participants positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgG were referred for CCP collection. Results Of 179 patients screened, 128 completed serologic testing and 89 were referred for CCP donation. IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were detected in 23 of 51 participants with suspected COVID-19 and 66 of 77 participants with self-reported COVID-19 confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The anti–SARS-CoV-2 IgG level met the US Food and Drug Administration criteria for “high-titer” CCP in 39% of participants confirmed by PCR, as measured by the Ortho VITROS IgG assay. A wide range of SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels were observed. Conclusions A hospital-based CCP donor recruitment program can prospectively identify potential CCP donors. Variability in SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels has implications for the selection of CCP units for transfusion.

5S rDNA is organized as a cluster of tandemly repeated monomers that consist of the conservative 120 bp coding part and non-transcribed spacers (NTSs) with different lengths and sequences among different species. The polymorphism in the 5S rDNA NTSs of closely related species is interesting for phylogenetic and evolutional investigations, as well as for the development of molecular markers. In this study, the 5S rDNA NTSs were amplified with universal 5S1/5S2 primers in some species of the Elaeagnaceae Adans. family. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of five Elaeagnus species had similar lengths near 310 bp and were different from Shepherdia canadensis (L.) Nutt. and Sh. argentea (Pusch.) Nutt. samples (260 bp and 215 bp, respectively). The PCR products were cloned and sequenced. An analysis of the sequences revealed that intraspecific levels of NTS identity are high (approximately 95–96%) and similar in the Elaeagnus L. species. In Sh. argentea, this level was slightly lower due to the differences in the poly-T region. Moreover, the intergeneric and intervarietal NTS identity levels were studied and compared. Significant differences between species (except E. multiflora Thunb. and E. umbellata Thunb.) and genera were found. Herein, a range of the NTS features is discussed. This study is another step in the investigation of the molecular evolution of Elaeagnaceae and may be useful for the development of species-specific DNA markers in this family.

A simple and efficient procedure for the extraction of high-quality DNA from phytoplasma-infected woody and herbaceous plants for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection is described. This procedure does not require phenol, chloroform, or alcohol for the precipitation of nucleic acids. Herbaceous and woody plant material are extracted in an identical manner with no additional purification or enrichment steps required. The method utilizes commercially available microspin-column matrices, and the extraction of total DNA can be achieved in less than 1 h. The method has been used to successfully purify phytoplasma DNA from whole leaves, leaf petioles and midribs, roots, and dormant wood from a diverse selection of plant material. The phytoplasmas detected by PCR include pear decline, western X-disease, peach yellow leaf roll, peach rosette, apple proliferation, Australian grapevine yellows, and Vaccinium witches'-broom.
