Resistance of synthetic hexaploid wheat to the leaf rust pathogen by A. G. Khakimova, E. I. Gultyaeva, O. P. Mitrofanova

“…One of the promising sources for enrichment of the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) gene pool with new alleles is synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW), or allopolyploids from crossing tetraploid wheats (2n = 4x = 28, BBAA) with accessions of Aegilops tauschii Coss. (2n = 2x = 14, DD), and subsequent doubling of the chromosome number in the hybrids. Objectives of the study were to evaluate the SHW accessions from the VIR collection for resistance to Puccinia triticina Erikss. populations collected in Russia; genotype the accessions; and summarize information from the published sources concerning the resistance of the studied accessions to other harmful diseases and pests.Materials and methods. …”

Technological properties of grain and flour in bread wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) genotypes carrying two loci that determine the endosperm structure by A. V. Simonov, T. A. Pshenichnikova

“…The end-use of the bread wheat grain depends on the endosperm properties determined by the alleles of the Pina and Pinb genes at the Ha locus on chromosome 5D. The mealy (soft) endosperm is generated by the biosynthesis of puroindolines – complete proteins encoded by these genes. …”

Molecular cytological analysis of alien introgressions in common wheat lines created by crossing of <i>Triticum aestivum</i> with <i>T. dicoccoides</i> and <i>T. dicoccum</i> by О. A. Orlovskaya, I. N. Leonova, L. A. Solovey, N. I. Dubovets

“…Assessment of cytological stability was carried out on the basis of chromosome behavior in microsporogenesis. A molecular cytogenetic analysis of introgression wheat lines indicated that the inclusion of the genetic material of wild and domesticated emmer was carried out mainly in the form of whole arms or large fragments in the chromosomes of the B genome and less extended inserts in the A genome. …”

Igf2/H19 Imprinting Control Region (ICR): An Insulator or a Position-Dependent Silencer? by Subhasis Banerjee, Alan Smallwood, Scott Lamond, Stuart Campbell, Geeta Nargund

“…On paternal inheritance, the methylated ICR silences the H19 gene and indirectly facilitates transcription from the distant Igf2 promoter, whereas on the maternal chromosome the unmethylated ICR, together with enhancers, activates transcription of the H19 gene and thereby contributes to the repression of Igf2. …”

Understanding Rett Syndrome: Genetic, clinical and therapeutic perspectives - literature review by Sylwia Urbańska, Aleksandra Witas, Martyna Borowska-Łygan, Justyna Pięta

“…Brief Description of the State of Knowledge: Rett syndrome is characterised by a loss-of-function mutation in the MECP2 gene, which is located on the long arm of the X chromosome. The diagnosis is confirmed by clinical criteria such as complete loss of acquired targeted hand skills, spoken language, gait abnormalities and confirmation of the mutation in the MECP2 gene. …”
