In this study, chromosome painting was developed and used to identify alien chromosomes in TAi-27, a wheat--Thinopyrum intermedium addition line, and the chromosomes of the three different genomes of Th. Intermedium. The smallest alien chromosome of TAi-27 was microdissected and its DNA amplified by DOP-PCR was used as a probe to hybridize with metaphase chromosomes of TAi-27 and Th. intermediu...

The presented seventh part of the series includes ten new chorological records vascular plants, two from Hungary, one Poland and seven Slovakia. In locally introduced species Catalpa ovata spreading by seeds first occurrence Carex depressa subsp. transsilvanica out n Zemplén Mts. was recorded. Poland, fifth record Salvinia natans in area Kraków found. Slovakia, localities four native species, P...

The regularities of natural (K-40, Th-232, Ra-226) and artificial (Sr-90 and Cs-137) radionuclides accumulation by embryonic soils and various organs of Taraxacum officinale Web. in rock waste disposal areas of the Kedrovsky coal pit in the Kuznetsk Basin were studied. The K-40 natural radionuclide causes major radioactivity of embryonic soils at rock waste disposal areas – its share in the tot...

the new cereal, primary tritipyrum is a synthetic amphiploid derived from crossing between durum wheat varieties (triticum durum, 2n=4x=28, aabb) and wild coach grass species (thinopyrum bessarabicum, 2n=2x=14, ebeb). in this study the genotype × environment interaction effect containing change in rank and value for grain yield of seventeen genotypes including eight primary and combined primary...

Background: Non-Iranian Primary Tritipyrum (2n=6x=42, AABBEbEb) set seed after Triticale (2n=6x=42, AABBRR) and Tritordeum (2n=6x=42, AABBHcHc) but, due to a few undesirable agronomic traits, it cannot fulfil the commercial expectations of farming. Objectives: To remove these deficiencies, six hexaploid Tritipyrum lines were crossed with four Iranian bread wheat cultivars which led to the...

We have studied the features of heavy metal accumulation in and have carried out a hygienic assessment of medicinal plants Taraxacum officinale Web. growing in various areas of the microrelief of the Kedrovskii coal mine rock dump. We have revealed a higher variability in the content of Cr, Mn, Zn and Fe mobile forms in the waste embryonic soils and have found that Cu and Zn content was lower t...
