The Russian Brassicaceae collection – from N.I. Vavilov and E.N. Sinskaya till nowadays by A. M. Artemyeva, A. G. Dubovskaya, N. G. Kon’kova

“…Genetic studies of the Brassicaceae collections at VIR include DNA analysis to search for duplicates in the collections, to compare original seeds  and the seeds  after reproduction and to assess the authenticity of saved accessions, to assess biodiversity, including that of new material from collecting missions, to develop phylogenetic studies. Chromosome loci controlling flowering time, morphological and biochemical  traits were determined by QTL analysis and association mapping, the molecular  markers found  are used for screening the collection and breeding material. …”

Point Mutations in the folP Gene Partly Explain Sulfonamide Resistance of Streptococcus mutans by W. Buwembo, S. Aery, C. M. Rwenyonyi, G. Swedberg, F. Kironde

“…Nevertheless, sulfonamide resistance (MIC = 50 μM) of folP-knockout bacteria transformed with plasmid-encoded folP was much less than the resistance (MIC = 4 mM) expressed by chromosomally-encoded folP. Therefore, folP point mutations only partially explain bacterial resistance to sulfonamide.…”
