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. Keywords: chickpea, genes, molecular markers, fusarios, resistance.

✓ The results of cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis of a central neurocytoma are presented. Central neurocytomas are intriguing neoplasms that exhibit primarily neuronal, but also glial characteristics, which indicate an origin from a pluripotential neuroglial precursor. The authors describe an intraventricular neurocytoma in an 11-year-old boy that showed anaplastic features with widespread necrosis and mitoses, as well as extensive calcification and foci that exhibited marked neuronal differentiation with clusters of ganglion cells. Immunohistochemical examination showed prominent synaptophysin and neurofilament positivity and focal glial fibrillary acidic protein positivity. Electron microscopy revealed abundant neuritic processes with microtubules and dense core granules as well as mature ganglion cells. Flow cytometry studies revealed increased S (7.8%) and G2M (9.7%) phase components. Molecular and cytogenetic studies were undertaken to assess whether there were similarities to two other tumor types that exhibit neuronal differentiation, the neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma. Polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis revealed no evidence of amplification of the MYCN oncogene or chromosome 1p deletion, which are common in neuroblastomas. Chromosomal analysis by G banding revealed a complex karyotype, with counts in the near-diploidy range (45–48). Two chromosomes 1 appeared normal on G banding and FISH analysis, with p58 signals present on the distal p arm of both chromosomes 1; however, three additional copies of distal 1q were present in rearrangements with 4 and 7. Although the histological findings indicate a kinship to the neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma, the central neurocytoma appears to have a different karyotypic profile, although more cases need to be assessed using molecular genetic analysis.

To identify patients who had Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) and were at risk for gonadoblastoma or associated germ cell tumors, molecular genetic analysis was carried out to detect Y chromosomal sequences. From peripheral blood samples of 5 patients who had cytogenetically confirmed UTS, genomic DNA was extracted and screened for Y chromosomal sequences by polymerase chain reaction. The morphology of the gonadal tissues was compared with results from polymerase chain reaction. Three phenotypic females showed UTS mosaicism with normal X chromosome accompanied by Y chromosomal material, and 2 patients showed marker chromosomes. Molecular analysis represented loci PABY, SRY, ZFY, TSPY, DYZ3, DYZ1 DXYS, 19Y, DYS-273, DYS-148, DYS218, DYS224, and DYZ1. Three patients showed gonadal tumors (1 with unilateral gonadoblastoma, 1 with unilateral dysgerminoma, and 1 patient had both tumors in 1 gonad). Molecular genetic screening for Y chromosomal sequences may be useful as an additional tool for the identification of patients at risk for a gonadal tumor. Careful, complete processing, including step sectioning, of the gonadectomy specimens to detect small lesions is recommended.

We have developed a new, easy, and more rapid method for DNA preparation, which avoids contamination. With this method, manual surgical blade scrapings from precisely targeted areas of paraffin block surfaces, without microtome cutting, were used to obtain tissues from 10 different neoplasms. Our results indicate the feasibility of DNA extraction from the scraped paraffin tissue for molecular genetic analysis. We applied this technique successfully to screen for the presence of human papillomavirus using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure in cases of endocervical, esophageal, and nasopharyngeal carcinomas, and to examine the expression of p53 gene from prostate and gastric adenocarcinomas. We conclude that this procedure is also suitable for purification of PCR products in analysis of the mutation or loss of allelic genes by Bstu I endonuclease digestion.

Background: Beta thalassemia is the most common genetic disorder in India. Its trait, coinheritance and mutations vary from mild to severe condition, resulting in thalassemia minor (heterozygous), intermediate and major depending upon many factors. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence rate and the carrier of beta thalassemia in population of Gujarat using molecular genetic analysis of beta thalassemia patients by targeted mutation assay (ARMS-PCR).Methods: A total 105 samples for beta thalassemia were analysed for IVS 1-5 (G→C) and CD 15 (G→A) mutations. These two common mutations of thalassemia in Gujarat were carried out using amplification refractory mutation system–polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) and gel electrophoresis method.Results: A total 105 samples referred to us for molecular genetic analysis. The occurrence of positive mutations of IVS 1-5 (G→C) and CD 15 (G→A) were found in 48 and 15 samples respectively. The rest were negatives.Conclusions: Present study concludes that the prevalence rate of Beta thalassemia was widespread among the Gujarat population. The identification of IVS 1-5 (G→C) and CD 15 (G→A) mutations was carried out. The analysis revealed that, mutational patterns of IVS 1-5 (G→C) was the most frequent among other mutations in Gujarat region.

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.

Fusarium wilt of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris can be managed by risk assessment and use of resistant cultivars. A reliable method for the detection and quantification of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in soil and chickpea tissues would contribute much to implementation of those disease management strategies. In this study, we developed a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) protocol that allows quantifying F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris DNA down to 1 pg in soil, as well as in the plant root and stem. Use of the q-PCR protocol allowed quantifying as low as 45 colony forming units of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris per gram of dry soil from a field plot infested with several races of the pathogen. Moreover, the q-PCR protocol clearly differentiated susceptible from resistant chickpea reactions to the pathogen at 15 days after sowing in artificially infested soil, as well as the degree of virulence between two F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris races. Also, the protocol detected early asymptomatic root infections and distinguished significant differences in the level of resistance of 12 chickpea cultivars that grew in that same field plot infested with several races of the pathogen. Use of this protocol for fast, reliable, and cost-effective quantification of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in asymptomatic chickpea tissues at early stages of the infection process can be of great value for chickpea breeders and for epidemiological studies in growth chambers, greenhouses and field-scale plots.

Production of bird species such as ostrich (Struthio camelus) has been gaining increasing importance in Iran as well as many other countries. Ostrich, similar to many other species of birds, lacks sexual dimorphism, making it difficult to differentiate between males and females, especially at an early age, which can be problematic in breeding programs. Recently developed molecular genetic methods that utilize polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based techniques can facilitate rapid identification of the bird’s sex in these species using a DNA sample, which can be easily extracted from blood or feather pulps. We successfully applied a PCR-based RFLP technique and sex chromosome primers for sex determination in a sample of 30 Ostrich chicks using DNA extracted from blood and feather pulps. Both DNA samples (blood and feather pulps) provided useful results. However, using feather pulps from 1-day-old chicks can provide an easy and inexpensive method for sex determination in ostrich. Key words: Ostrich (struthio camelus), sex determination, sexual dimorphism, polymerase chain reaction, RFLP
