Introduction. Gliadins are monomeric and highly polymorphic storage proteins of wheat endosperm, which together with glutenins form a gluten complex that determines the breadmaking properties of wheat. Allelic variants of gliadins are an important feature in the selection of material for breeding, but their determination by electrophoresis in acid PAGE is quite difficult. Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism of the Taglgap microsatellite locus and to analyze its correspondence to the polymorphism of allelic variants of gliadins that have been revealed by acid PAGE electrophoresis. Methods. 140 cultivars and lines of bread wheat of Ukrainian and foreign selection were analyzed. Electrophoresis of storage proteins was performed in an acid PAGE according to the method of F. O. Poperellia (1989), allelic variants were designated according to the international nomenclature (Metakovsky et al., 2018). DNA was isolated by CTAB method and PCR was performed with primers to the Taglgap microsatellite (Devos et al., 1995). PCR products were fractionated in 7% PAGE and stained with silver staining method. Nucleotide sequences were searched by BLAST and aligned by MAFT methods. The main results. 19 allelic variants of gliadins and 11 alleles of the Taglgap locus were identified. In the collection of Ukrainian varieties there were Gli-B1b, Gli-B1c, Gli-B1d, Gli-B1e, Gli-B1f, Gli-B1g, Gli-B1h, Gli-B1l and Gli-B1o allelic variants and alleles of Taglgap 216 bp, 237 bp, 246 bp, 248 bp, 252 bp, 267 bp, 270 bp and null. In the foreign collection of varieties − Gli-B1a, Gli-B1b, Gli-B1c, Gli-B1d, Gli-B1e, Gli-B1f, Gli-B1g, Gli-B1h, Gli-B1i, Gli-B1j, Gli-B1k, Gli -B1l, Gli-B1m, Gli-B1n, Gli-B1o, Gli-B1p, Gli-B1q, Gli-B1r, Gli-B1s and 213 bp, 216 bp, 237 bp, 246 bp, 248 bp, 250 bp, 252 bp, 270 bp, 285 bp and null. Nucleotide sequence analysis in the NCBI database showed the presence of a number of other alleles of the Taglgap microsatellite not only in bread wheat but also in some species of the Triticum L. and Aegilops L. genus. Conclusions. The detected polymorphism correlates with the polymorphism of allelic variants of gliadins of Gli-B1 locus and makes it possible to identify Gli-B1a, Gli-B1d, Gli-B1h and Gli-B1l allelic variants, and for Ukrainian varieties with high probability also Gli-B1b allelic variant. However, this marker does not allow identifying Gli-B1c, which is important for selection.

SummaryWe analyzed the molecular genetic defect responsible for type I Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia in a Japanese patient. In an immunoblot assay using polyclonal anti-GPIIb-IIIa antibodies, some GPIIIa (15% of normal amount) could be detected in the patient’s platelets, whereas GPIIb could not (<2% of normal amount). Nucleotide sequence analysis of platelet GPIIb mRNA-derived polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products revealed that patient’s GPIIb cDNA had a 75-bp deletion in the 3’ boundary of exon 17 resulting in an in-frame deletion of 25 amino acids. DNA analysis and family study revealed that the patient was a compound heterozygote of two GPIIb gene defects. One allele derived from her father was not expressed in platelets, and the other allele derived from her mother had a 9644C → T mutation which was located at the position -3 of the splice donor junction of exon 17 and resulted in a termination codon (TGA). Moreover, quantitative analysis demonstrated that the amount of the abnormal GPIIb transcript in the patient’s platelets was markedly reduced. Thus, the C → T mutation resulting in the abnormal splicing of GPIIb transcript and the reduction in its amount is responsible for Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia.

<em>Analysis of genetic diversity of cacao germplasm collections using molecular markers has an important role in the assembly of new superior clones. The availability of commercial and superior local clones could increase the success of new superior clones’ assembly. Hence, the genetic diversity analysis of these materials needs to be done. The study was aimed to analyze genetic diversity of 28 cacao collections based on SSR markers that would be useful for selection of parental lines. The research was conducted in the Integrated Laboratory, Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute, Sukabumi, and Plant Molecular Biology laboratory, Bogor Agricultural University, from November 2015 to May 2016.</em> <em>Analysis of genetic diversity was conducted using 28 cacao clones (13 superior local clones and 15 commercial clones). DNA was extraction using CTAB method, which then amplified by PCR technique using 20 SSR primers. The result showed that all SSR markers used in this study were polymorphic with an average value of PIC was high (57%). Phylogenetic tree constructed using DARwin program version 6.05 is divided into 3 major groups, which placed commercial and superior local clones together in each group. Superior local clones observed herein might have close relationships with commercial clones that have long been cultivated in Indonesia. Furthermore, some cacao clones could potentially be parental lines because they had high genetic distance. The results showed that SSR markers are powerful tools to determine potential parental lines, which is expected to increase the chances of heterosis in their progenies.</em>

Abstract The goal of phylogenetics is to construct relationships that are true representations of the evolutionary history of a group of organisms or genes. The history inferred from phylogenetic analysis is usually depicted as branching in tree-like diagrams or networks. In nematology, phylogenetic studies have been applied to resolve a wide range of questions dealing with improving classifications and testing evolution processes, such as co-evolution, biogeography and many others. There are several main steps involved in a phylogenetic study: (i) selection of ingroup and outgroup taxa for a study; (ii) selection of one or several gene fragments for a study; (iii) sample collection, obtaining PCR products and sequencing of gene fragments; (iv) visualization, editing raw sequence data and sequence assembling; (v) search for sequence similarity in a public database; (vi) making and editing multiple alignment of sequences; (vii) selecting appropriate DNA model for a dataset; (viii) phylogenetic reconstruction using minimum evolution, maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference; (ix) visualization of tree files and preparation of tree for a publication; and (x) sequence submission to a public database. Molecular phylogenetic study requires particularly careful planning because it is usually relatively expensive in terms of the cost in reagents and time.

Abstract Background Insulin-like 3 hormone (INSL3) is involved in the process of testicular descent, and has been thoroughly studied in cryptorchidism. However, INSL3 allelic variations found in the human genome were heterozygous and only a few of them were found exclusively in patients with cryptorchidism. Under this perspective, we aimed to study the presence of INSL3 allelic variations in a cohort of patients with cryptorchidism and to estimate their potential consequences. Methods Blood samples were collected from 46 male patients with non-syndromic cryptorchidism and from 43 age-matched controls. DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were performed for exons 1 and 2 of the INSL3 gene in all subjects. Sequencing analysis was carried out on the PCR products. All data were grouped according to testicular location. Results Seven variations of a single nucleotide (SNVs) were identified both in patients with cryptorchidism and in controls: rs2286663 (c.27G > A), rs1047233 (c.126A > G) and rs6523 (c.178A > G) at exon 1, rs74531687 (c.191-30C > T) at the intron, rs121912556 (c.305G > A) at exon 2 and rs17750642 (c.*101C > A) and rs1003887 (c.*263G > A) at the untranslated region (UTR). The allelic variants rs74531687 and rs121912556 were found for the first time in the Greek population. The novel homozygotic combination of the three allelic variants rs1047233-rs6523-rs1003887 seemed to present a stronger correlation with more severe forms of cryptorchidism. Conclusions The combination of specific INSL3 SNVs rather than the existence of each one of them alone may offer a new insight into the involvement of allelic variants in phenotypic variability and severity.

This study aimed at evaluating the expected gains from selection obtained based upon direct, indirect, and index-based selection in a set of 599 bread wheat lines. The experiment was carried out at the experimental field of INRAA institute, Setif research unit (Algeria), in a Federer augmented block design including three controls. A wide range of genetic variability was observed among lines for the eleven traits assessed. The results indicated that index-based selection and selection based on grain yield expressed higher expected genetic gain than direct and indirect mono-trait-based selection. The best 15 selected lines exhibited higher grain yield than the control varieties, and they were clustered in three groups that contrasted mainly for the flag-leaf area, thousand-kernel weight, biomass, and harvest index. The index-based selection appears as a useful tool for the rapid selection of early filial generations, enriching selected breeding materials with desirable alleles and reducing the number of years required to combine these traits in elite varieties.
