THE MOLECULAR GENETIC STUDY OF KRIM-SAGHYZ (Taraxacum hybernum Steven) USING SSR, RAPD AND ISSR MARKERS

Krim-saghyz (Taraxacum hybernum Steven) is an alternative to Hevea brasiliensis as a source of natural rubber. In Russia, krim-saghyz is common only in the Crimean Peninsula and is traditionally named after it. In spite of its potential for economical use, the genetic structure of the Crimean population of this plant is still unexplored. In this regard, the purpose of our work was a comparative molecular-genetic characterization of T. hybernum from various habitats of the Crimean Peninsula using SSR, RAPD and ISSR markers. According to the plan, we collected achenes, leaves and roots of krim-saghyz in 10 spots all over the Crimean Peninsula. We found the plants in the western part of the southern Crimean coast and the western part of the Crimean foothills, which are two general regions of the area of this species. Total DNA was extracted from dry leaves of krim-saghyz with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). For the first time 12 SSR, 3 RAPD and 3 ISSR markers were tested on krim-saghyz. To observe polymorphism of RAPD- and ISSR-fragments, we used analytical electrophoresis in 1.7 % agarose gel. To compare the length of SSR amplicons, we used gel-electrophoresis in 8 % polyacrylamide gel. We found that the Crimean population of krim-saghyz appears to be genetically homogeneous. This could be due to a small geographic range and apomictic reproduction of this species. However, the phenotypical diversity within the population of T. hybernum is well known from the literature. Consequently, the study of the DNA polymorphism of this species should be continued, in particular, with the help of high-resolution techniques

Строение гнёзд двух видов рода Leptochilus (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae)

Описано два гнезда ос Leptochilus alpestris (de Saussure, 1855) и Leptochilus regulus (de Saussure, 1855), собранных в Крыму. Гнездо L. alpestris обнаружено в пустой раковине улитки Monacha fruticola под камнем; оно содержало одну ячейку, запечатанную пробкой, изготовленной из склеенных мелких камешков. Гнездо L. regulus выявлено в трехмиллиметровом канале стебля тростника в искусственной гнездовой конструкции; оно содержало 9 ячеек, разделённых перегородками, изготовленными из мелких камешков и земли. У личинок L. regulus было обнаружено необычное поведение — перед плетением кокона они перемещали землю, содержащуюся в пробке ячейки, к её дну. Обсуждаются отличия изученных гнёзд от гнёзд других видов рода Leptochilus de Saussure, 1853.Two nests of the wasps Leptochilus alpestris (de Saussure, 1855) and Leptochilus regulus (de Saussure, 1855) collected in the Crimea were described. The nest of L. alpestris was found in the empty snail shell of Monacha fruticola under a stone; it contained one cell sealed with plug made of glued gravel bits. The nest of L. regulus was found in 3 mm hole of a reed stem from trap-nest; it contained 9 cells separated with partitions made of gravel and mud. The unusual larval habit was discovered in L. regulus — they moved mud from the plug of the cell to its bottom before cocoon spinning. Distinctions of the studied nests from ones of the other species of the genus Leptochilus de Saussure, 1853 were discussed

Melittobia acasta Walker 1839

Melittobia acasta Walker, 1839 Melittobia acasta overtook 7.7 % of P. fuscipennis cells and the pressure exerted on the host population is less considerable than the one exerted by O. sculpticollis. M. acasta attacked also 14 cells (15.9 %) containing O. sculpticollis larvae. Consequently, M. acasta appeared to be parasitoid and hyperparasitoid at the same time for P. fuscipennis and O. sculpticollis correspondingly.Published as part of Martynova, K. V. & Fateryga, A.

Trichodes apiarius

Trichodes apiarius (Linnaeus, 1758) All the enemies of the host wasp discussed above are usually named “parasites in the broad sense or parasitoids”, while the beetles in the genus Trichodes could be considered as “nest destructors” (Zerova et al., 2006). In the present study they penetrated two nests and ruined 38 cells of P. fuscipennis. Nest destructors can cause huge damage in artificial nests, but in the present study they did not provoke considerable loss in the population of P. fuscipennis.Published as part of Martynova, K.
