Identifying sources of resistance to late blight and black scurf, and other economically useful traits among interspecific potato hybrids

Background. This publication presents the results of a four-year (2016–2019) study undertaken to assess potato hybrids from the nurseries of preliminary tests and the nursery of the second tuber generation for their resistance to Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary and Rhizoctonia solani J.G. Kühn in the environments of Leningrad Province. Potato forms with a set of economically useful traits were identified as promising source material for further breeding.Materials and methods. The study covered the interspecific hybrids developed on the basis of the following species: Solanum vernei Bitt. et Wittm., S. megistacrolobum Bitt., S. chacoense Bitt., S. demissum Lindl., S. verrucosum Schelechtd., S. stoloniferum Schlechtd., S. polytrichon Rydb., S. andigenum Yuz. et Buk., S. rybinii Yuz. et Buk., and S. tuberosum Lindl. Late blight and black scurf resistance tests were performed using the methods approved for the potato selection technology.Results and conclusions. The possibility to select potato genotypes with high and medium resistance of their tops and tubers was ascertained under severe natural infection with P. infestans and R. solani. In the preliminary test nursery, from 4.0 to 62.0% of the tested accessions demonstrated high plant top resistance to late blight, and from 21.6 to 58.0% possessed tuber resistance. The analysis of resistance to black scurf showed that the average score for several years in the preliminary test nursery ranged from 6.3 to 7.6 points (the scale from 9 down to 1), while the percentage of highly resistant accessions was in the range of 25.9–70.7%. In the nursery of the second tuber generation, the average resistance across the years of study varied from 6.3 to 7.8 points, with the percentage of highly resistant hybrids ranging from 27.0 to 87.1%. The selected hybrids were distinguished by their increased productivity (31.4–42.9 t/ha), high marketability of tubers (89–98%), and dry matter content (16.6–19.5%). Source material with a set of economically useful features promising for breeding was identified

RESISTANCE OF POTATO HYBRIDS FROM THE SECOND TUBER GENERATION TO THE LOCAL POPULATION OF PHYTOPHTHORA INFESTANS (MONT.) DE BARY AND SELECTION OF ADVANCED CLONES

Interspecific potato hybrids of various origins were analysed in the field under a strong Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary invasion  in the epidemic 2016 and 2017 seasons for foliar and tuber  resistance to late blight. Clones of the second generation were  assessed for their productivity and tuber quality. Genotypes with the  highest resistance to late blight were selected within the populations derived from the following cross combinations: 'Svitanok  Kievsky' x 96133/16, 9451/9 x 94110/8, 943/6 x 'Gitte',  9685/1 x 943/9, 'Sudarynya' x 9674/38, 'Charodey' x 943/9, 'Skarb'  x 94155/1, 'Charodey' x 91102/12 as well as in the progeny  obtained after self-pollination of the varieties: 'Udacha', 'Charodey',  'Bravo', 'Amur', 'Vektar', 'Cortney', 'Yanka', 'Zhuravinka', 'Frittella', 'Real', 'Matushka', 'Irbitsky', and accessions K-22890, 28- 06 and 85-06. Analysis of late blight resistance at early stages of the breeding process increases informativity and helps to identify  promising accessions with different field resistance levels and a set  of economically valuable traits. As a result of this research, genotypes with increased productivity and good table  quality of tubers were selected among the material possessing high  and medium resistance to the pathogen. Original hybrids will be  used as source material in the breeding programs targeted at the  development of cultivars with field resistance to late blight. There  are plans to continue and improve breeding work with such  accessions in the context of their resistance to other diseases and  environmental stress factors

Topicality of the issues of education of foreign students in the higher medical educational institutions of Ukraine is growing, which is associated with the desire and ability of medical universities to strengthen and develop their economic basis.The article presents the main forms of research work conducted by students within the research groups of the departments of Ukrainian Language Studies, Latin and Medical Terminology, for their experience provides an opportunity to form stable skills of independent research work, as well as to improve the quality of mastering internal medicine, and to develop creative and analytical thinking. This helps students to expand their worldview, develop the ability to apply theoretical knowledge and modern research methods in practice, which is of great importance for career guidance and for their further research work after graduation. Attention is paid to the relationships and mutual influences (psychotherapy) of culture and art, religion and science. One of the means of supporting the student in his/her spiritual orientation development is participation in amateur art contests, brain-rings, as well as conducting country studies, preparing speeches with interdisciplinary links, creating poster-based presentations for the day of embroidery, analyzing symbols of Ukraine, its holidays and traditions, etc. Reading the "Canon of Medical Science" by Abu Ibn Sina, we prove that it is necessary to be interested in the life, culture and science of the people who study in higher education, thus stimulating knowledge not only in medicine but also developing intellectual and creative skills of the future specialist.The article analyzes the results of Ukrainian Internal Medicine competitions for medical students. It has been proved that the competition contributes to the development of creative clinical thinking of students and involves not only the traditional theoretical knowledge and practical skills, but also the use of novel interactive computer technologies and visualizing techniques (photos and / or video protocols, video imaging, etc.)

THE CONTENT OF MCP-1 AND MMP-9 IN BLOOD SERUM OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC POLYPOID RHINOSINUSITIS

The content of MCP-1 and MMP-9 inblood serum of patients with chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis was studied. It was found that this pathology led to a significant increase in MCP-1, which is a marker of fibrosis, in blood serum. The compensatory increase in MMP-9, serving as an antifibrotic factor, is much weaker. Such imbalance between profibrotic MCP-1 and antifibrotic MMP-9 indicates a lack of compensatory adaptation mechanisms of fibrolysis activation and contributes to the development of fibrosis in chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis
