POTATO RING ROT PATHOGEN DETECTION BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION IN POTATO TUBERS

Bacterial ring rot caused by Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus is a widespread disease of potato resulting in significant economic lost in agriculture and seed growing. A latent form of this infection makes difficulties for diagnostics and facilitates the quick disease propagation. Polymerase chain reaction is the best method for the disease control

Resistance of Winter Wheat Seedlings to Short-term Freezing Temperature Influence May be Determined by Activation of Uncoupling Protein and ATP/ADP Antiporter

Aftereffect of freezing temperature (-8 ° C, 1-6 h) on the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), intactness mitochondria, their oxidative and phosphorylating activity and the contribution of uncoupling proteins (UCPs) and ATP/ADP antiporter to linoleate-induced mitochondrial respiration in winter wheat seedlings have been studied. It has been shown that the survival of seedlings during cold exposure is dependent on the activity of pUCP and ATP/ADP antiporter in mitochondria, the function of which under cold stress is probably the regulation of ROS content
