Halo-RPD: searching for RNA-binding protein targets in plants by A. O. Shamustakimova

“…The proposed protocol uses plants with stable fusion protein expression and Magne® HaloTag® magnetic beads to capture RNA-protein complexes directly from the cytoplasmic lysate of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants. The key stages described in the paper are as follows: (1) preparation of the magnetic beads; (2) tissue homogenization and collection of control samples; (3) precipitation and wash of RNA-protein complexes; (4) evaluation of protein binding efficiency; (5) RNA isolation; (6) analysis of the RNA obtained. …”

Pea (Pisum sativum L.): the uneasy fate of the first genetical object by O. E. Kosterin

“…Pea generation time can be shortened to 35 days, which is comparable with Arabidopsis. However, small and hardly recognizable chromosomes hampered the development of pea cytogenetics, while recombination genetic maps remained inadequate until 1990s, when they were improved only with the aid of molecular methods. …”
