Finding RB/Rpi-blb1/Rpi-sto1-like sequences in conventionally bred potato varieties by O. Y. Antonova, N. S. Klimenko, Z. Z. Evdokimova, L. I. Kostina, T. A. Gavrilenko

“…The genotypes selected through the molecular markers were divided into four groups: (A) 13 PVY resistant varieties carrying diagnostic markers of the Rysto, Ry-fsto genes and having sterile mt-type gamma; (B) four varieties possessing mt-type gamma and not having the markers of the R genes introgressed from S. stoloniferum; (C) eight genotypes carrying five gene-specific markers for the RB/Rpi-blb1/= Rpi-sto1; (D) the rest 166 (86.9 %) varieties not possessing any of the diagnostic markers associated with the S. stoloniferum genetic material. The sequences of the Rpi-sto1- and BLB1 F/R-amplicons were identical in all the genotypes of group ‘C’ and showed respective 99 % and 100 % similarity to the corresponding fragments of the Rpi-sto1 and Rpi-blb1 genes from the GenBank database. …”

Notation publications in the context of musical life in Lithuania in the XVI-XVII centuries by Jūratė Trilupaitienė

“…That a Gregorian chant hymnal was not published until the very middle of the 17th century was largely due to the fact that the Lithuanian Catholic Church was answerable to higher authorities in Poland, which supplied them with most of the liturgical printed material they needed. In the first half of the 17th century, when the Counter-Reformation in Lithuania ended, the Jesuit Academy of Vilnius (founded 1579) began to concern itself with the teaching of Gregorian chant. …”
