The Application of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN in the Strategies of Russian Federation Subject

The article deals with the management of socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation. It is shown that among the problematic and key issues is the use of strategic planning, including goal-setting and the choice of tools for the implementation of strategies. The analysis of the UN sustainable development Goals till 2030 and their comparison with the National development goals of the Russian Federation till 2024 is carried out. It is shown that sustainable development is a consequence of the use of complex system approaches based on strategic planning rather than individual tools

Development of qPCR Detection Assay for Potato Pathogen <i>Pectobacterium atrosepticum</i> Based on a Unique Target Sequence

The recent taxonomic diversification of bacterial genera Pectobacterium and Dickeya, which cause soft rot in plants, focuses attention on the need for improvement of existing methods for the detection and differentiation of these phytopathogens. This research presents a whole genome-based approach to the selection of marker sequences unique to particular species of Pectobacterium. The quantitative real-time PCR assay developed is selective in the context of all tested Pectobacterium atrosepticum strains and is able to detect fewer than 102 copies of target DNA per reaction. The presence of plant DNA extract did not affect the sensitivity of the assay
