This study was organized to determine the nutritional value of different alfalfa varieties and lines selected within the scope of the “Cukurova Region Alfalfa Breeding Project”, conducted at the Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute, by using the in vitro gas production technique. In the project, Nimet was certified as a new variety. The used alfalfa lines were YSH 26-12, YSH 23-9, YSH 21-1, YSH 27-9, YSH 37-12, YSH 35-11, YSH 28-6, YSH 16-11, YSH 14-3, and YSH 11-4. The certified Nimet variety was used as a control. Alfalfas have been harvested in April, at the beginning of blooming. Chemical composition, metabolic energy (ME), net energy lactation (NEL), and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of the certified Nimet variety with 10 different alfalfa lines used in the experiment were determined by Hohenheim in vitro gas production technique. The incubation times in the Hohenheim gas production technique are 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96th hours. Crude protein (CP), crude cellulose (CC), NDF, and ADF contents of the alfalfa varieties and lines ranged between 19.06-22.40%, 24.90-33.30%, 33.16-45.73%, and 30.77-39.75%, respectively. After 96-hour incubation, the highest total gas production (GP) was found at the YSH 11-4 line (45.32 ml) (P < 0.05). While ME, OMD and NEL contents were found to be high at the YSH 11-4 line, ME and OMD values were statistically different from the YSH 28-6, YSH 16-11, YSH 14-3, and YSH 21-1 lines. On the other hand, NEL values were determined different from YSH 23-9, YSH 21-1, YSH 28-6, YSH 16-11, YSH 14-3 lines.

Spectroscopic measurements of iron abundances are prone to systematic modelling errors. We present 3D non-LTE calculations across 32 STAGGER-grid models with effective temperatures from 5000 K to 6500 K, surface gravities of 4.0 dex and 4.5 dex, and metallicities from $-$3 dex to 0 dex, and study the effects on 171 Fe I and 12 Fe II optical lines. In warm metal-poor stars, the 3D non-LTE abundances are up to 0.5 dex larger than 1D LTE abundances inferred from Fe I lines of intermediate excitation potential. In contrast, the 3D non-LTE abundances can be 0.2 dex smaller in cool metal-poor stars when using Fe I lines of low excitation potential. The corresponding abundance differences between 3D non-LTE and 1D non-LTE are generally less severe but can still reach $\pm$0.2 dex. For Fe II lines the 3D abundances range from up to 0.15 dex larger, to 0.10 dex smaller, than 1D abundances, with negligible departures from 3D LTE except for the warmest stars at the lowest metallicities. The results were used to correct 1D LTE abundances of the Sun and Procyon (HD 61421), and of the metal-poor stars HD 84937 and HD 140283, using an interpolation routine based on neural networks. The 3D non-LTE models achieve an improved ionisation balance in all four stars. In the two metal-poor stars, they remove excitation imbalances that amount to 250 K to 300 K errors in effective temperature. For Procyon, the 3D non-LTE models suggest [Fe/H] = 0.11 $\pm$ 0.03, which is significantly larger than literature values based on simpler models. We make the 3D non-LTE interpolation routine for FG-type dwarfs publicly available, in addition to 1D non-LTE departure coefficients for standard MARCS models of FGKM-type dwarfs and giants. These tools, together with an extended 3D LTE grid for Fe II from 2019, can help improve the accuracy of stellar parameter and iron abundance determinations for late-type stars., 17 pages, 11 figures, 5 tables; arXiv abstract abridged; accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics

The presence of plastic on marine coasts has been widely reported throughout the world. However, these materials have received little attention in coastal wetlands, particularly salt marshes. The abundance, size, type, color, and polymer distribution of large micro- (1-5mm), meso- (5-25mm), and macro-plastics (25-100mm) in eight salt marshes of the Bahia Blanca Estuary were analyzed in this study. Plastics from mudflat, low-salt marsh, and high-salt marsh sediments, and plant-litter from the storm line were isolated by wet sieving and flotation with NaCl saturated solution. The shape, size and color were determined visually under a stereomicroscope and the polymeric composition was determined by FTIR-ATR. The concentrations always followed the same pattern: storm-line plant litter¿high-salt marsh sediments¿low-salt marsh sediments¿mudflat sediments. The most contaminated salt marshes were those near the mouth of the Maldonado stream and an illegal landfill. The relative abundance of each type of plastic varied within the salt marsh, fragments and pellets followed the same pattern as concentrations. Furthermore, this percentage varied between salt marshes, owing primarily to the source to which they were exposed. Thus, those near dumps and sewage discharges had more films and fibers, respectively, while those near the main channel had more pellets. In terms of polymer distribution, 40.5% of the 1600 items analyzed were PELD, followed by 29% PEHD, 20.4% PP, and 4.1% EPS. The films were mostly PELD¿PP¿PEHD, the fragments were PEHD¿PP¿PELD and pellets were PEHD¿PELD. At the spatial level, the relative abundance of each polymer depended on the relative abundance of each plastic shape/type. Finally, we highlight that this study is the first in salt marshes around the world and is focusing on management strategies to improve the coastal wetland quality.

At present, the assessment of reproductive qualities of cows depending on their origin is of great scientific and practical importance in cattle breeding. This is due to the fact that violation of reproductive functions of animals, firstly, reduces milk productivity of cows, secondly, reduces the period of economic use of animals, and, consequently, the profitability of production of the industry in general. Studies on assessment of reproductive qualities of cows depending on their origin were conducted in the breeding farm ZAO Konstantinovo (CJSC). At this farm an extensive work on mating cows of the Russian Black Pied breed with Holstein bulls is in progress. As a result there are cows of different intermediate genotypes in terms of blood and lineage affiliation in the herd. Therefore, the aim of our research was to investigate the reproductive ability of the cows in the herd depending on their origin. Groups of first-calf cows were formed according to the analogy method, taking into account lineage and bloodlines. As a result of the conducted researches it has been established that the lineage of cows influences reproductive ability, namely, age of the first insemination and the first calving, service-period, inter-calving period, the fertility index and reproductive ability coefficient. The best reproductive performance was found in the Reflection Sovereign 198998 and Montvic Chieftain 95679 lines., Volga Region Farmland, Выпуск 1 (9) 2021, Pages 62-66

The 8-Pmmn borophene, a boron analog of graphene, hosts tilted and anisotropic massless Dirac fermion quasiparticles owing to the presence of a distorted graphenelike sublattice. First-principles calculations show that stacked 8-Pmmn borophene is transformed into fused three-dimensional borophene under pressure, being accompanied by partial bond breaking and bond reformation. Strikingly, fused 8-Pmmn borophene inherits the Dirac band dispersion resulting in an unusual semimetal-semimetal transition. A simple tight-binding model derived from graphene qualitatively reveals the underlying physics due to the maximum preservation of the graphenelike substructure after the phase transition, which contrasts greatly to the transformation of graphite into diamond associated with the semimetal-insulator transition.

This paper proposes a methodology for predicting online rotor angle stability in power system operation under significant contribution from wind generation. First, a novel algorithm is developed to extract a stability index ( SI ) that quantifies the margin of rotor angle stability of power systems reflecting the dynamics of wind power. An approach is proposed that takes advantage of the machine learning technique and the newly defined SI . In case of a contingency, the developed algorithm is employed in parallel to find SI s for all possible instability modes. The SI s are formed as a vector and then applied to a classifier algorithm for rotor angle stability prediction. Compared to other features used in state-of-the-art methods, SI vectors are highly recognizable and thus can lead to a more accurate and reliable prediction. The proposed approach is validated on two IEEE test systems with various wind power penetration levels and compared to existing methods, followed by a discussion of results.

This paper discusses the influence of hand drawing techniques in my work for toy piano. It is known that composers often respond expressively to ideas and draw compositional strategies from other domains of life, for example, the mathematical proportions of architecture on some compositions of Guillame DuFay, Peter Maxwell Davies and Eve Duncan. For me, a chance comment from an artist friend, Deanna Petherbridge’s book, The Primacy of Drawing: Histories & Theories of Practice (2010) and Elizabeth Cooper’s botanical watercolours of the Australian rainforest tree Stenocarpus sinuatus (Firewheel Tree) offered ideas and techniques for several works for toy piano, and piano and toy piano (one player). While my musical response to hand drawing techniques is largely an expressive response, there is an element of trying to adapt the drawing techniques in a way similar to how artists use them, but in sound.

The article presents the results of the research on the comparative study of the main economically valuable traits of dairy cattle of various origin. The population of Holstein cows of black-and-white breed was taken as the object of the study. Source material for the research was provided by data of breeding records (n = 4848) of cows from breeding plant "Semyonovsky", Medvedevsky district, Mari El Republic. The breeding stock of the herd was presented by four lines: Vis Bek Idial 1013415 – 55.6 %, Reflection Sovering 198998 – 36.9 %, Montvik Chieftain 95679 – 6.7 % and Siling Trijun Rokit 252803 – 0.3 %. Animals of V. B. Idial line were most productive. They were superior to the representatives of other lines: in milk yield by 448-891 kg of milk (7.1-15.2 %) (p>0.99), in milk fat yield – by 17.5-35.0 kg (7.3-15.7 %) (p>0.99), in milk protein – by 4.7-28.6 kg (7.4-15.5 %) (p>0.99) and they had a high coefficient of milking capacity of 1323 kg. Animals of all lines except S. T Rokit line were characterized by a uniform (stable) lactation curve, the coefficient of lactation stability was 93 %. The lowest age of the first calving was observed in animals of the R. Sovering line (26.5 months), the highest – in the S. T. Rokit line (30.7 months). The duration of the service period in the V.B. Idial line was 129.4 days, that was higher than this indicator for other lines by 8.3-11 days (6.8-9.3 %) (p>0.95-0.99). The duration of the calving interval in all studied lines exceeded the optimal one (365 days) and changed in accordance with the change of the service period. A high index of fecundity was in cows of V. B. Ideal line (45.3), a low index - in S. T. Rokit line (37.2). In the studied lines, the coefficient of reproductive ability that characterizes the fertility of cows was 0.90-0.92, in S. T. Rokit line – 0.84.

Contains fulltext : 220433.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Intragenic mutations in FGF12 are associated with intractable seizures, developmental regression, intellectual disability, ataxia, hypotonia, and feeding difficulties. FGF12 duplications are rarely reported, but it was suggested that those might have a similar gain-of-function effect and lead to a more or less comparable phenotype. A favorable response to the sodium blocker phenytoin was reported in several cases, both in patients with an intragenic mutation and in patients with a duplication of FGF12. We report three individuals from two families with FGF12 duplications. The duplications are flanked and probably mediated by two long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs). The duplication cases show phenotypic overlap with the cases with intragenic mutations. Though the onset of epilepsy might be later, after the onset of seizures both groups show developmental stagnation and regression in several cases. This illustrates and further confirms that chromosomal FGF12 duplications and intragenic gain-of-function mutations yield overlapping phenotypes.

AimsAltered immune functions as well as fatty acid intake and status have been associated with the development of type 1 diabetes. We aimed to study the relationship between fatty acids and immunological markers in young children with increased genetic risk for type 1 diabetes in order to define putative mechanisms related to development of islet autoimmunity.MethodsSerum samples for fatty acid and immunological marker measurements were obtained in the Trial to Reduce IDDM in the Genetically at Risk (TRIGR) ancillary study (Divia) from children born between 2002 and 2007 in 15 countries. Case children (n = 95) were defined as having repeated positivity for at least two out of four diabetes-associated autoantibodies. For each case child, control children were selected matched for country and date of birth (n = 173). Serum fatty acids and immunological markers were measured from cord serum and at the age of 6 and 12 months. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated between fatty acids and immunological markers.ResultsCorrelations between circulating fatty acids and immunological markers were different in case children who developed islet autoimmunity than in control children already at birth continuing across the first year of life. In case children, saturated fatty acids (SFAs) showed stronger correlations with immunological markers, while in controls, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) showed stronger correlations.ConclusionsIn cases, SFAs were associated with several immunological markers (CXCL10, IL-6, IL-9, IL-17, and CM-CSF) previously linked to the type 1 diabetes disease process. Findings indicate that fatty acids could have immunomodulatory potential in the early phase of the disease development, although causality between fatty acids and the immunological pathways remains to be explored.Trial registry numberNCT00179777

Принципы ритмической организации поэзии многообразны и зависят от природы и специфики языка. Однако ритмическая основа стихотворной речи, установленная с давних времен, остается единой и неизменной для дагестанских народов. В дагестанских языках как долгота, так и ударение слабо выражены. И поэтому в основе поэзии дагестанцев лежит силлабическая система стихосложения, требующая одинакового количества слогов в строке. Такой общей основой является членение речи на ритмические соизмеримые отрезки-стихи. В даргинском языке, как и в языках других народов Дагестана, как долгота гласных, так и ударение слабо выражены. Поэтому гласные звуки в даргинском языке по самой своей природе не в состоянии стать ритмическими основами для такого стихосложения, которая опирается на метрику., Principles of rhythmic organization of poetry are diverse, and depend on the nature and specifics of the language. Rhythmic basis of poetic speech remains the same and unchanged for the Dagestan peoples. In Dagestan languages, both longitude and stress are weakly expressed. And that is why Dagestani poetry is based on a syllabic system of versification that requires the same number of syllables per line. The principles of rhythmic organization of poetry are diverse, and depend on the nature and specifics of the language. However, the rhythmic basis of poetic speech, established since ancient times, remains uniform and unchanged for the Dagestan peoples. Such a common basis is the division of speech into rhythmic commensurate segments-poems. In the Dargwa language, as in the languages of other peoples of Dagestan, both the length of the vowels and the stress are weakly expressed. Therefore, Dargwa vowels by their very nature don’t become rhythmic foundations for versification, which relies on metrics.

We report the detection of methyl ketene towards TMC-1 with the QUIJOTE line survey. Nineteen rotational transitions with rotational quantum numbers ranging from J = 3 up to J = 5 and Ka ≤ 2 were identified in the frequency range 32.0–50.4 GHz, 11 of which arise above the 3σ level. We derived a column density for CH3CHCO of N = 1.5 × 1011 cm−2 and a rotational temperature of 9 K. Hence, the abundance ratio between ketene and methyl ketene, CH2CO/CH3CHCO, is 93. This species is the second C3H4O isomer detected. The other, trans-propenal (CH2CHCHO), corresponds to the most stable isomer and has a column density of N = (2.2 ± 0.3)×1011 cm−2, which results in an abundance ratio CH2CHCHO/CH3CHCO of 1.5. The next non-detected isomer with the lowest energy is cis-propenal, which is therefore a good candidate for future discovery. We have carried out an in-depth study of the possible gas-phase chemical reactions involving methyl ketene to explain the abundance detected, achieving good agreement between chemical models and observations.

Medical terminology can be challenging for healthcare students due to its unfamiliar and lengthy terms. Traditional methods such as flashcards and memorization can be ineffective and require significant effort. To address this, an online chatbot-based learning model called Termbot was designed to provide an engaging and convenient method for enhancing medical terminology learning. Termbot, accessible through the LINE platform, offers crossword puzzles that turn boring medical terms into a fun learning experience. An experimental study was conducted, which showed that students who trained with Termbot made significant progress in learning medical terms, demonstrating the potential of chatbots to improve learning outcomes. Termbot’s gamified approach to learning can also be applied to other fields, making it a useful tool for students to learn medical terminology conveniently and enjoyably.

Background The majority of structural variation in genomes is caused by insertions of transposable elements (TEs). In mammalian genomes, the main TE fraction is made up of autonomous and non-autonomous non-LTR retrotransposons commonly known as LINEs and SINEs (Long and Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements). Here we present one of the first population-level analysis of TE insertions in a non-model organism, the giraffe. Giraffes are ruminant artiodactyls, one of the few mammalian groups with genomes that are colonized by putatively active LINEs of two different clades of non-LTR retrotransposons, namely the LINE1 and RTE/BovB LINEs as well as their associated SINEs. We analyzed TE insertions of both types, and their associated SINEs in three giraffe genome assemblies, as well as across a population level sampling of 48 individuals covering all extant giraffe species. Results The comparative genome screen identified 139,525 recent LINE1 and RTE insertions in the sampled giraffe population. The analysis revealed a drastically reduced RTE activity in giraffes, whereas LINE1 is still actively propagating in the genomes of extant (sub)-species. In concert with the extremely low activity of the giraffe RTE, we also found that RTE-dependent SINEs, namely Bov-tA and Bov-A2, have been virtually immobile in the last 2 million years. Despite the high current activity of the giraffe LINE1, we did not find evidence for the presence of currently active LINE1-dependent SINEs. TE insertion heterozygosity rates differ among the different (sub)-species, likely due to divergent population histories. Conclusions The horizontally transferred RTE/BovB and its derived SINEs appear to be close to inactivation and subsequent extinction in the genomes of extant giraffe species. This is the first time that the decline of a TE family has been meticulously analyzed from a population genetics perspective. Our study shows how detailed information about past and present TE activity can be obtained by analyzing large-scale population-level genomic data sets.

Background. When studying the collection of watermelon, it is important to disclose its genetic potential by identifying spontaneous mutations, using its accessions in crosses, and analyzing inheritance of its main traits in hybrids. One of the priorities in watermelon breeding is to develop and produce genetic sources of bushy and short-vine forms with stable manifestation of their morpho-biological characters under various environmental conditions.Material and methods. Accessions from the watermelon collection (local landraces, commercialized and promising cultivars, hybrids and lines obtained in the process of work) of diverse ecogeographic groups served as the material for this research. Description of morphological characters and assessment of economically useful ones were based on the guidelines for studying and maintaining the cucurbit collection and the guidelines for cucurbit crop breeding, both developed by VIR.Results. Variability and inheritance of the bushiness and short vine characters were studied in watermelon accessions according to the features of their growth and development. The habitus of the bushy forms is shaped by the length of stems (0.8– 1.2 m) and very short (2–3 cm) internodes. Short-vine plant stems are 1.3–1.5 m long. Short-vine plants in the early period of development distinctly stand out for their compact bush, if compared with long-vine forms. Short vines are developed due to short internodes (4–5 cm) and a smaller number of lateral shoots.Conclusion. Many years of studying the watermelon collection in the field resulted in identification of promising genetic sources for the breeding of bushy and short-vine cultivars: bushy dissected-leaf lines (KRL) – KRL 694, KRL 656, KRL 376 and KRL 394; bushy entire-leaf lines (KTsL) – KTsL 760/13; yellow-green bushy dissectedleaf lines (ZhZKRL) – ZhZKRL; short-vine watermelon lines (KPL) – KPL 774 and KPL 368. The developed lines differ in morpho-biological and economically useful characters (yield,fruit quality, growing season duration, etc.). They possess resistance to diseases (fusarium wilt and anthracnose) and environmental stressors. The lines are offered for use in the breeding of new bushy and short-vine cultivars and improvement of the existing ones, with various combinations of morpho-biological and economic traits. Brief descriptions of main economically valuable characters of the breeding lines are presented.

Repetitive DNA (RE-DNA) was long thought to be silent and inert; only recent research has shown that it can be transcribed and that transcription alteration can be induced by environmental stress conditions, causing human pathological effects. The aim of this study was to determine whether exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) could affect the transcription of RE-DNA. To this purpose, three different human cell lines (HeLa, BE(2)C and SH-SY5Y) were exposed to 900 MHz GSM-modulated RF-EMF at specific absorption rate of 1 W/kg or to sham. After exposure, mRNA levels of RE-DNA were evaluated through quantitative real-time PCR. The following RE-DNA types were investigated: Long Interspersed nucleotide Element 1, DNA alpha satellite and Human Endogenous Retroviruses-like sequences. When comparing cells exposed to RF-EMF versus control samples, different results were found for the three cell lines evaluated, indicating that RF-EMF exposure can significantly affect RE-DNA transcription and that the effects strongly depend on the cellular context and the tissue type. Further studies are needed to elucidate which molecular mechanisms could be involved.

Orientador: Lygia Arcuri Eluf Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Artes Resumo: Nesta tese a teoria passa consciente pelo terreno movediço da análise, para o terreno sólido dos fatos. A intenção, os modelos, as referências, a atitude tomada na construção dos trabalhos realizados, e o adensamento de imagens provocaram uma leitura de meus trabalhos formulada agora nesta tese. Esta leitura pretende demonstrar, também através de uma exposição, a importância de um método constituído em um ateliê. Local onde o processo de realização e a construção das ideias de expressão plástica não são lineares, com começo, meio e fim, e possuem derivações poéticas, com um ir e vir sugerindo uma estrutura helicoidal. Partindo de dois procedimentos básicos: um clássico ou acadêmico, realizado através do conhecimento formal e o segundo: espontâneo, feito seguindo critérios subjetivos com relação ao ponto, à linha e à mancha gráfica, escolhemos várias séries de gravuras, projetos realizados em marcenaria e fotos do ateliê. As gravuras, agora apresentadas, foram feitas em um período que abrange 18 anos e intitulam-se Caos Aparente. Durante a pesquisa deste doutorado, esses trabalhos foram escolhidos para buscar um outro significado dos sinais gráficos. Abstract: In this dissertation, theory runs consciously through the volatile terrain of analysis toward the solid terrain of facts. The intention, models, references and attitude taken in constructing the artwork as well as the deeper working on the images provoked a reading of my work that is formulated in this dissertation. Besides the exhibit, this reading intends to demonstrate the importance of a method constituted in a workshop a place were the process of creation and the construction of ideas of plastic expression are not linear going from beginning, then the middle to the end. Rather there are poetic derivatives, within a coming and going that suggests a helical structure. Various series of prints were chosen among projects that were conducted and among workshop photographs; from these, two basic procedures were the starting point, the first being a classical or academic procedure, conducted by means of formal knowledge and the second being spontaneous, undertaken according to subjective criteria in relation to the point, line and graphical smear. The prints that are presented were produced over a period of 18 years and they have been named Apparent Chaos. During this doctoral study, these works were chosen as a means of signifying the graphic sign. Doutorado Artes Visuais Doutor em Artes

Mammalian genomes are partitioned into sub-megabase to megabase-sized units of preferential interactions called topologically associating domains or TADs, which are likely important for the proper implementation of gene regulatory processes. These domains provide structural scaffolds for distant cis regulatory elements to interact with their target genes within the three-dimensional nuclear space and architectural proteins such as CTCF as well as the cohesin complex participate in the formation of the boundaries between them. However, the importance of the genomic context in providing a given DNA sequence the capacity to act as a boundary element remains to be fully investigated. To address this question, we randomly relocated a topological boundary functionally associated with the mouse HoxD gene cluster and show that it can indeed act similarly outside its initial genomic context. In particular, the relocated DNA segment recruited the required architectural proteins and induced a significant depletion of contacts between genomic regions located across the integration site. The host chromatin landscape was re-organized, with the splitting of the TAD wherein the boundary had integrated. These results provide evidence that topological boundaries can function independently of their site of origin, under physiological conditions during mouse development., Author summary During development, enhancer sequences tightly regulate the spatio-temporal expression of target genes often located hundreds of kilobases away. This complex process is made possible by the folding of chromatin into domains, which are separated from one another by specific genomic regions referred to as boundaries. In order to understand whether such boundary sequences require their particular genomic contexts to achieve their isolating effect, we analyzed the impact of introducing one such boundary, taken from the HoxD locus, into a distinct topological domain. We show that this ectopic boundary splits the host domain into two sub-domains and affects the expression levels of a neighboring gene. We conclude that this sequence can work independently from its genomic context and thus carries all the information necessary to act as a boundary element.

The varieties created in breeding organizations of various countries are used in the Scientific Research Laboratory of the Grain Crop Selection of the Far Eastern State Agrarian University in order to obtain the maximum diversity of genetic material in the process of hybridization for subsequent testing and selection in the conditions of the Amur Region. The purpose of our work was to identify the countries and regions, the varieties of which give the greatest number of useful hybrids for the selection of spring wheat in the conditions of the Amur region. A large selection material was analyzed that was tested from 2007 to 2019 ��� from the year when the first generation hybrids were created till the testing of lines and varieties in higher-breeding nurseries (control nursery, preliminary variety testing nursery and competitive variety testing nursery). The material for research was varieties from the collection, hybrids and lines of spring wheat. 518 varieties of domestic and foreign selection and 259 lines created on their basis had been studied. Based on the research carried out, it can be assumed that domestic varieties are the most promising for the conditions of the Amur Region. The domestic varieties are more often selected for hybridization than foreign ones according to their indicators. Till 70 % of lines and variety samples are created with domestic varieties��� participation. Among the near abroad countries, the varieties of Ukrainian selection are of the greatest interest. The foreign varieties are selected for hybridization half as often and remain in higher breeding nurseries three times less. The varieties from China are of the greatest interest

[EN] The structural and magnetic properties of Sr0.67Ca0.33Fe9Al3−xCrxO19 submicrometric powders with substitution levels ranging from x = 0 up to x = 3, prepared by sol-gel synthesis method, have been investigated. The powders were characterized by high resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, powder neutron diffraction and MPMS-SQUID magnetometer. The structural analysis shows that upon Ca-substitution of SrFe12O19 at the Sr site and Al–Cr at the Fe sites, the magnetoplumbite structure is preserved, even for large levels of substitutions. The X-ray powder diffraction peak broadening and Williamson-Hall plots analyses indicate an increase of crystallites size and relaxation of the microstrain with increasing amounts of Chromium. The magnetic hysteresis loops reveal high coercivity fields at room temperature, with the highest value of HC = 1125 kA/m (1.41 T) obtained for Sr0.67Ca0.33Fe9Al2.5Cr0.5O19 powder interesting to develop free-Rare Earth high coercivity magnets. The saturation magnetization and remanence values increase monotonically with increasing Cr content while the switching field decreases. The structural Rietveld refinement of combined X-ray/neutron diffraction data shows the affinity of Al3+ and Cr3+ cations to migrate mainly towards (2a) Fe-Oh2 and (12k) Fe-Oh3 sites and only minor amounts is found on the (4f1) Fe-Oh1 octahedral sites. The structural observations corroborate the magnetic properties, demonstrating a correlation between the structure and magnetic properties in Ca–Al–Cr substituted strontium hexaferrite. The role of the particle size to maximize the coercivity properties is discussed., This work was funded by the European Commission through the Research and Innovation project AMPHIBIAN, grant agreement H2020-NMBP-2016-720853.

Many neurodegenerative diseases are associated with chronic inflammation in the brain and periphery giving rise to a continuous imbalance of immune processes. Next to inflammation markers, activation of transposable elements, including long intrespersed nuclear elements (LINE) elements and endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), has been identified during neurodegenerative disease progression and even correlated with the clinical severity of the disease. ERVs are remnants of viral infections in the human genome acquired during evolution. Upon activation, they produce transcripts and the phylogenetically youngest ones are still able to produce viral-like particles. In addition, ERVs can bind transcription factors and modulate immune response. Being between own and foreign, ERVs are reviewed in the context of viral infections of the central nervous system, in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, this review tests the hypothesis that viral infection may be a trigger at the onset of neuroinflammation and that ERVs sustain the inflammatory imbalance by summarizing existing data of neurodegenerative diseases associated with viruses and/or ERVs.

Our work is devoted to the research of the feature, which represents the genre of documentary art literature. It is represented by various literary works, which differ in facts and artistic fiction, plot and compositional structure: from individual paintings, sketches to complex cyclic formations. The themes and problems the featurre focuses on are different: from journalism and sociology to the complex inner world of man. In the genre understanding, we analyze cycles as holistic and systemic phenomena in terms of space-time and genre-developmental interaction. Using structural-semantic, historical-literary, comparative-typological and genetic methods, we defined the ideological-aesthetic functions of the feature and the cycle.

En este trabajo se ha querido ilustrar como las múltiples relaciones existentes entre las nociones de adaptación, imitación y traducción de poesía pueden todavía enriquecerse si se considera la elección de diferentes versos y estrofas en la literatura receptora. Los ejemplos se han tomado de traductores españoles del Siglo de Oro: Juan del Encina, Fray Luis de León y Francisco Sánchez de las Brozas (Virgilio); Jerónimo de Urrea (Ariosto); Baltasar de Romaní y Jorge de Montemayor (Ausiàs March); Góngora y Francisco Faría (Claudiano). This paper aims to illustrate how the multiple connections between poetry imitation, adaptation, and translation, can still be complicated and enriched by the use of different meters and stanzas in the reception literature.

The musical approach to the interpretation of the painting reveals a number of associations unusual for static types of art, embedding it as a landscape-forming element in the artistic and associative landscape of the city. On the example of the works of the Altai artist P. D. Jura, the possibility of musical interpretation of painting at the compositional level and the probability of forming landscape connections of the city with other territories are presented. Insight into the secrets of the interaction of various properties of works of art leads to an understanding of the universal principles of their existence, creates the basis for various forms of interpretation, which is the main goal of the study. Identifying the common nature of the means of expression of painting and music, finding common principles of organization of pictorial and musical material there are tasks, the solution of which leads to obtaining a number of additional characteristics of the pictorial work, enriching its imagery. As a result, the analysis of the musicality of painting touches on the problem of studying the synthesis of arts, the integrity and depth of perception of his works. The position of the recipient of an artistic creation inevitably becomes active, turning the viewer, first of all, into a co-author and, at the same time, into his listener.

The water snowline in circumstellar disks is a crucial component in planet formation, but direct observational constraints on its location remain sparse due to the difficulty of observing water in both young embedded and mature protoplanetary disks. Chemical imaging provides an alternative route to locate the snowline, and HCO$^+$ isotopologues have been shown to be good tracers in protostellar envelopes and Herbig disks. Here we present $\sim$0.5$^{\prime\prime}$ resolution ($\sim$35 au radius) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of HCO$^+$ $J=4-3$ and H$^{13}$CO$^+$ $J=3-2$ toward the young (Class 0/I) disk L1527 IRS. Using a source-specific physical model with the midplane snowline at 3.4 au and a small chemical network, we are able to reproduce the HCO$^+$ and H$^{13}$CO$^+$ emission, but for HCO$^+$ only when the cosmic ray ionization rate is lowered to $10^{-18}$ s$^{-1}$. Even though the observations are not sensitive to the expected HCO$^+$ abundance drop across the snowline, the reduction in HCO$^+$ above the snow surface and the global temperature structure allow us to constrain a snowline location between 1.8 and 4.1 au. Deep observations are required to eliminate the envelope contribution to the emission and to derive more stringent constraints on the snowline location. Locating the snowline in young disks directly with observations of H$_2$O isotopologues may therefore still be an alternative option. With a direct snowline measurement, HCO$^+$ will be able to provide constraints on the ionization rate., Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ, 15 pages, 6 figures and appendix

The composition of planets may be largely determined by the chemical processing and accretion of icy pebbles in protoplanetary disks. Recent observations of protoplanetary disks hint at wide-spread depletion of gaseous carbon. The missing volatile carbon is likely frozen in CO and/or CO$_2$ ice on grains and locked into the disk through pebble trapping in pressure bumps or planetesimals. We present the results of the first successful ACA (Atacama Compact Array) [C I] $J$ = 1-0 mini-survey of seven protoplanetary disks. Using tailored azimuthally symmetric DALI (Dust And LInes) thermo-chemical disk models, supported by the [C I] $J$ = 1-0 and resolved CO isotopologue data, we determine the system-averaged elemental volatile carbon abundance in the outer disk of three sources. Six out of seven sources are detected in [C I] $J$ = 1-0 with ACA, four of which show a distinct disk component. Based on the modeling we find severe cold gaseous carbon depletion in the outer disk of DL Tau and moderate depletion in the outer disks of DR Tau and DO Tau. Combining the outer and inner disk carbon abundances, we demonstrate definitive evidence for radial drift in the disk of DL Tau, where the existence of multiple dust rings points to either short lived or leaky dust traps. We find dust locking in the compact and smooth disks of DO Tau and DR Tau, hinting at unresolved dust substructure. Comparing our results with stars of different ages and luminosities, we identify an observational evolutionary trend in gaseous carbon depletion that is consistent with dynamical models of CO depletion processes. Transport efficiency of solids in protoplanetary disks can significantly differ from what we expect based on the current resolved substructure in the continuum observations. This has important implications for our understanding of the impact of radial drift and pebble accretion on planetary compositions., Comment: 23 pages, 19 figures, accepted to A&A

Background The prediction of potential drug-target interactions (DTIs) not only provides a better comprehension of biological processes but also is critical for identifying new drugs. However, due to the disadvantages of expensive and high time-consuming traditional experiments, only a small section of interactions between drugs and targets in the database were verified experimentally. Therefore, it is meaningful and important to develop new computational methods with good performance for DTIs prediction. At present, many existing computational methods only utilize the single type of interactions between drugs and proteins without paying attention to the associations and influences with other types of molecules. Methods In this work, we developed a novel network embedding-based heterogeneous information integration model to predict potential drug-target interactions. Firstly, a heterogeneous multi-molecuar information network is built by combining the known associations among protein, drug, lncRNA, disease, and miRNA. Secondly, the Large-scale Information Network Embedding (LINE) model is used to learn behavior information (associations with other nodes) of drugs and proteins in the network. Hence, the known drug-protein interaction pairs can be represented as a combination of attribute information (e.g. protein sequences information and drug molecular fingerprints) and behavior information of themselves. Thirdly, the Random Forest classifier is used for training and prediction. Results In the results, under the five-fold cross validation, our method obtained 85.83% prediction accuracy with 80.47% sensitivity at the AUC of 92.33%. Moreover, in the case studies of three common drugs, the top 10 candidate targets have 8 (Caffeine), 7 (Clozapine) and 6 (Pioglitazone) are respectively verified to be associated with corresponding drugs. Conclusions In short, these results indicate that our method can be a powerful tool for predicting potential drug-target interactions and finding unknown targets for certain drugs or unknown drugs for certain targets.

Background Environmental impacts on a fetus can disrupt germ cell development leading to epimutations in mature germ cells. Paternal inheritance of adverse health effects through sperm epigenomes, including DNA methylomes, has been recognized in human and animal studies. However, the impacts of gestational exposure to a variety of environmental factors on the germ cell epigenomes are not fully investigated. Arsenic, a naturally occurring contaminant, is one of the most concerning environmental chemicals, that is causing serious health problems, including an increase in cancer, in highly contaminated areas worldwide. We previously showed that gestational arsenic exposure of pregnant C3H mice paternally induces hepatic tumor increase in the second generation (F2). In the present study, we have investigated the F1 sperm DNA methylomes genome-widely by one-base resolution analysis using a reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) method. Results We have clarified that gestational arsenic exposure increases hypomethylated cytosines in all the chromosomes and they are significantly overrepresented in the retrotransposon LINEs and LTRs, predominantly in the intergenic regions. Closer analyses of detailed annotated DNA sequences showed that hypomethylated cytosines are especially accumulated in the promoter regions of the active full-length L1MdA subfamily in LINEs, and 5′LTRs of the active IAPE subfamily in LTRs. This is the first report that has identified the specific positions of methylomes altered in the retrotransposon elements by environmental exposure, by genome-wide methylome analysis. Conclusion Lowered DNA methylation potentially enhances L1MdA retrotransposition and cryptic promoter activity of 5′LTR for coding genes and non-coding RNAs. The present study has illuminated the environmental impacts on sperm DNA methylome establishment that can lead to augmented retrotransposon activities in germ cells and can cause harmful effects in the following generation.

In various eukaryotes, supernumerary B chromosomes (Bs) are an optional genomic component that affect their integrity and functioning. In the present study, the impact of Bs on the current changes in the genome of goatgrass, Aegilops speltoides, was addressed. Individual plants from contrasting populations with and without Bs were explored using fluorescence in situ hybridization. In parallel, abundances of the Ty1-copia, Ty3-gypsy, and LINE retrotransposons (TEs), and the species-specific Spelt1 tandem repeat (TR) in vegetative and generative spike tissues were estimated by real-time quantitative PCR. The results revealed: (i) ectopic associations between Bs and the regular A chromosomes, and (ii) cell-specific rearrangements of Bs in both mitosis and microgametogenesis. Further, the copy numbers of TEs and TR varied significantly between (iii) genotypes and (iv) different spike tissues in the same plant(s). Finally, (v) in plants with and without Bs from different populations, genomic abundances and/or copy number dynamics of TEs and TR were similar. These findings indicate that fluctuations in TE and TR copy numbers are associated with DNA damage and repair processes during cell proliferation and differentiation, and ectopic recombination is one of the mechanisms by which Bs play a role in genome changes.

Implementations of lifting-line theory model the flow over a finite wing using a sheet of semi-infinite vortices extending from a vortex filament placed along the locus of aerodynamic centers of the wing. Prandtl's classical implementation is restricted to straight wings in flows without sideslip. In this work, it is shown that these limitations can be overcome if, at the control points where induced velocity is calculated, the second derivative of the locus of aerodynamic centers is zero and the trailing vortices are perpendicular to the locus. Therefore, a general implementation of lifting-line theory is presented that conditionally forces the second derivative of the locus of aerodynamic centers to zero at each control point, and joints each trailing vortex such that there is a finite segment of the trailing vortex perpendicular to the locus of aerodynamic centers. Consideration is given to modeling the locus of aerodynamic centers of non-straight wings and the section aerodynamic properties of such wings. The resulting general formulation is analyzed to determine sensitivity, accuracy, and numerical convergence. The general implementation demonstrates second-order convergence when the control points are clustered at the root and tips of the wing, and produces results that closely match those of a high-order panel method and experimental data.

Background Non-LTR retrotransposons often exhibit base composition that is markedly different from the nucleotide content of their host’s gene. For instance, the mammalian L1 element is AT-rich with a strong A bias on the positive strand, which results in a reduced transcription. It is plausible that the A-richness of mammalian L1 is a self-regulatory mechanism reflecting a trade-off between transposition efficiency and the deleterious effect of L1 on its host. We examined if the A-richness of L1 is a general feature of non-LTR retrotransposons or if different clades of elements have evolved different nucleotide content. We also investigated if elements belonging to the same clade evolved towards different base composition in different genomes or if elements from different clades evolved towards similar base composition in the same genome. Results We found that non-LTR retrotransposons differ in base composition among clades within the same host but also that elements belonging to the same clade differ in base composition among hosts. We showed that nucleotide content remains constant within the same host over extended period of evolutionary time, despite mutational patterns that should drive nucleotide content away from the observed base composition. Conclusions Our results suggest that base composition is evolving under selection and may be reflective of the long-term co-evolution between non-LTR retrotransposons and their host. Finally, the coexistence of elements with drastically different base composition suggests that these elements may be using different strategies to persist and multiply in the genome of their host.

Retrotransposable elements (RTEs) have actively multiplied over the past 80 million years of primate evolution, and as a consequence, such elements collectively occupy ∼ 40% of the human genome. As RTE activity can have detrimental effects on the human genome and transcriptome, silencing mechanisms have evolved to restrict retrotransposition. The brain is the only known somatic tissue where RTEs are de-repressed throughout the life of a healthy human and each neuron in specific brain regions accumulates up to ∼13.7 new somatic L1 insertions (and perhaps more). However, even higher levels of somatic RTE expression and retrotransposition have been found in a number of human neurological disorders. This review is focused on how RTE expression and retrotransposition in neuronal tissues might contribute to the initiation and progression of these disorders. These disorders are discussed in three broad and sometimes overlapping categories: 1) disorders such as Rett syndrome, Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, and ataxia–telangiectasia, where expression/retrotransposition is increased due to mutations in genes that play a role in regulating RTEs in healthy cells, 2) disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and substance abuse disorders, which are thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental stress factors, and 3) disorders associated with age, such as frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and normal aging, where there is a time-dependent accumulation of neurological degeneration, RTE copy number, and phenotypes. Research has revealed increased levels of RTE activity in many neurological disorders, but in most cases, a clear causal link between RTE activity and these disorders has not been well established. At the same time, even if increased RTE activity is a passenger and not a driver of disease, a detrimental effect is more likely than a beneficial one. Thus, a better understanding of the role of RTEs in neuronal tissues likely is an important part of understanding, preventing, and treating these disorders.

В статье приведены данные по оценке жеребцов – производителей орловской рысистой породы конного завода ООО «Урожай» по племенным качествам: экстерьеру, резвости, качеству потомства. Оценка результатов племенного использования жеребцов на ранних стадиях является необходимой для формирования племенного ядра орловской рысистой породы на Западном Урале и практикуется на конном заводе «Урожай». Орловский рысак – это уникальная порода в истории как отечественного, так и мирового животноводства, отличается хорошими экстерьерными показателями. Экспертная оценка за экстерьер жеребцов-производителей ООО «Урожай» составила 3,87-4,25 балла, что свидетельствует о хорошей степени развития корпуса и костяка. Лучшей резвостью на дистанции 1600 метров отличается жеребец-производитель Гайдук, линия Пиона – 2.05,0 мин., на втором месте жеребец-производитель Манок линии Корешка с резвостью 2.10,0 мин., худший результат показал жеребец Убыток линии Болтика – 2.20,1 мин. При установлении влияния экстерьера на резвостные качества получен коэффициент корреляции (rs), равный +0,5, что указывает на тесную и положительную связь между признаками. Таким образом, чем выше балл за экстерьер, тем выше оказываются резвостные показатели лошади. Потомки производителя Гайдука показали самую высокую резвость 2.10,1 мин. по сравнению с потомством других жеребцов, что указывает на более успешное разведение на заводе линии Пиона., The article presents data on the evaluation of stud horses of the Orlov trotting breed at the Urozhay LLC stud farm on breeding qualities: exterior, action, quality of offspring. The assess-ment of the results of breeding stallions at an early stage is necessary, since they form the breed-ing core of the Orlov trotting breed in the Western Urals, and it is a common practice at the stud farm "Urozhay". The Orlov trotter is a unique breed in the history of both domestic and world animal husbandry. It has good exterior characteristics. Expert assessment for the exterior of stud horses ay Urozhay LLC was 3.87 – 4.25 points, which indicates a good degree of development of the body and backbone. Action is an important indicator that objectively characterizes the sporting career of the Orlov trotter. The best speed at the distance of 1600 meters showed the stud horse Hayduk of Peony line – 2.05,0 minutes, at the second place was the stud horse Manok of Koreshok with the action 2.10,0 minutes, the worst result was shown by the stallion Ubytok of Boltik line – 2.20,1. When determining the influence of the exterior on the action qualities, a correlation coefficient (rs) equal to +0.5 was obtained, which indicates that the rela-tionship between the signs is positive and close. From the data, the higher the score for the exte-rior is, the higher the horse's action indicators. The descendants of the stud horse Hayduk showed the highest action of 2.10,1 minutes compared to the offspring of other stallions, which indicates a more successful breeding of the Peony line.

La forma en la que percibimos lo que nos rodea, pensamos, analizamos o la forma que tenemos proceder, son necesariamente únicas, en este estudio, veremos a lo largo del proceso de diseño arquitectónico como se reflejan todos estos condicionantes personales en la forma de proyectar, diseñar y crear. Nos encontraremos con dos arquitecturas muy diferentes en su resultado formal del proyecto, pero lo veremos desde los inicios de este, cómo se van desarrollando y formando las obras empleando técnicas, en algunos casos, totalmente opuestas. Cómo puede ser de determinante el significado de emplear un trazo fino en lugar de uno grueso, qué quieren decirnos en sus dibujos mediante el uno o en su defecto el no uso del color, que importancia le dan a que esa arquitectura sea habitada, vivida, que percepción tienen de sus proyectos una vez terminados, en que se enfocan, que quieren detallar y como lo hacen. El proceso creativo hasta obtener un resultado final puede parecer un camino evidente, ir desde un punto a, un punto de partida, hasta un punto b, una obra completa y terminada, pero será en los detalles de este complejo proceso en el que nos detendremos, analizando y comparando las distintas maneras de ejecutarlo, de llevarlo a cabo. Veremos hasta qué punto puede influir con qué perspectiva se esté enfocando una idea y como resultan dependiendo de qué mano los dibuje, los represente. The way in which we perceive what surrounds us, we think, analyze or the way we have come, are specifically unique, in this study, we will see throughout the architectural design process how all these personal conditioning factors are considered in the way to project, design and create. We find two very different architectures in their formal result of the project, but we will see it from the beginning of this, how the works will be analyzed and formed using techniques, in some cases, totally opposite. How can the meaning of using a fine line instead of a thick line be decisive, what do you want to tell us in your drawings using the one or, failing that, the non-use of color, what importance do they give to that architecture being inhabited, lived, that They perceive they have of their projects once finished, what they focus on, what they have to detail and how they do it. The creative process until obtaining a final result may seem an obvious path, going from a point a, a starting point, to a point b, a complete and finished work, but it will be in the details of this complex process that we will stop , analyzing and comparing the different ways of executing it, carrying it out. We will see to what extent it can influence which perspective an idea will focus on and how it will be seen exactly which hand draws them, the ones represented. Universidad de Sevilla.

Мягкую яровую пшеницу традиционно высевают во всех почвенно-климатических зонах Алтайского края, занимая ею в целом более 1,7 млн га. Около 30 % посевной площади культуры сосредоточено в зонах со средней и хорошей влагообеспеченностью, где биологический потенциал высокорослых сортов ограничивает эффективность использования средств интенсификации (высокие дозы минеральных удобрений, некорневые подкормки, стимуляторы роста и средства защиты растений). В последние годы возникла острая потребность в низкорослых сортах с высокой отзывчивостью на интенсивные агрофоны, которая решается путем активного привлечения западноевропейских сортов. Цель работы - создание принципиально новых низкорослых сортов с высоким потенциалом урожайности, устойчивости к полеганию и болезням, адаптированных к почвенно-климатических условиям Сибири. Исследования выполнены в Алтайском крае общепринятыми методами в 2008-2019 гг. Оценку селекционного материала проводили в полевых опытах, заложенных по пару. В результате исследований на основе исходного материала немецкой селекционной фирмы «Штрубе» создано три перспективных высокоинтенсивных сорта со средней урожайностью зерна от 4,19.5,66 т/га и потенциалом урожайности более 7 т/га. Они превосходят стандарты по продуктивности на 42.61 %, индексу урожая - на 6,6...8,0 %, не полегают, формируют крупное зерно с содержанием клейковины 28,2.30,2 %, обладают комплексной устойчивостью к листовым болезням. Сорт Лидер 80 с 2020 г. районирован по Западной и Восточной Сибири, а сорта Гонец и Юнион включены в план ГСИ по 10, 11 и 12 регионам.

В статье приведены и обсуждаются экспериментальные данные, полученные в результате применения в селекционной практике различных методов получения исходного материала, перспективных сортов тритикале (межродовые, внутривидовые скрещивания, экологический мутагенез) и внедрения их в производство. С использованием, экологического мутагенеза, сортообразца яровой тритикале К-2045(Польша) выведен высокопродуктивный (свыше 10 т/га), устойчивый к биотическим и абиотическим стрессам сорт озимой тритикале Капелла, внесенный в Госреестр селекционных достижений, допущенный к использованию в Средневолжском регионе РФ с 2019 года. Среднестебельный сорт Ефремовская и короткостебельный Арктур, испытывались в ГСИ, их потенциальная урожайность более 12т/га, с отличными показателями устойчивости растений к стрессам и качества зерна. Разработана технология возделывания озимой тритикале в Самарской и Московской областях.

Исследования проводили с целью определения возможности использования зародышевой плазмы различных (нетипичных) морфотипов сои для увеличения генетического разнообразия и повышения урожайности культуры. Работу выполняли в 1999-2019 гг. Амурской области. Селекционные питомники закладывали в полевом севообороте на типичной луговой черноземовидной среднемощной почве. В скрещиваниях использовали формы сои с детерминантным типом роста и терминальным соцветием на верхушке главного стебля и ветвях (т.к.), с фасциированным стеблем и соцветием типа головки (ф.с); с густым войлочным опушением (в.о.), с увеличенным количеством листьев на черешке - 5...9 шт., выделенные как спонтанные естественные мутанты на сорте Смена (М. Смены 5-, 7-, 9-л). Эти формы положили начало расширению генетического разнообразия и изменению архитектоники существующих сортов сои. В процессе изучения методом рекомбинантной селекции было создано три сорта сои с включением в геном зародышевой плазмы нетипичных форм, два из которых (Грация и Кружевница) внесены в Государственный реестр селекционных достижений, допущенных к использованию. В гибридных (F4, F5, F6) и селекционном питомниках выделены 32 константные линии сои нового поколения, с измененной архитектоникой, превосходящие стандартные сорта по продуктивности на 0,33.1,19 т/га с отдельными и комплексом хозяйственно ценных признаков. В предварительном и конкурсном сортоиспытании отобраны 6 образцов сои - Ам.2530, Ам.2534, Ам.2542, Ам.2387, Ам.2423, Ам.2442 различных групп спелости превосходящие стандарты по урожайности, на 0,11.0,47 т/га, по содержанию белка в семенах - на 0,7...5,9 %. Лучшие из них будут переданы в Госсортоиспытание в 2020 г

Оценка производителей по качеству потомства – один из основных методов селекции, широко применяемых в коневодстве, поскольку именно оценка животного по приплоду, по способности передавать свои качества потомству является лучшим показателем его племенной ценности. Принимая во внимание, что своевременное выявление генотипических свойств и широкое использование выдающихся по качеству потомства жеребцов является одним из мощнейших методов селекционного воздействия на породу, особую актуальность приобретает изучение «наследственной силы» производителей в разрезе новоалтайской породы. Целью исследования являлась оценка жеребцов по качеству потомства в целях целесообразности их использования в племенной работе с породой. В статье проанализированы и приведены в сравнении показатели эффективности использования линейных и нелинейных жеребцов. Оценка жеребцов-производителей по качеству потомства в селекции новоалтайской породы позволила определить неравнозначное влияние производителей разных линий на её развитие. По результатам исследований отмечена значительная неоднородность линий по составу и племенной ценности производителей. Результаты исследования показали превосходство потомства линий Конегора по основным селекционируемым признакам – живой массе и оценке экстерьера. Наряду с ним достаточно высокие результаты отмечены у жеребцов линий Меча, Рекрута, Грозного и Клапана. Установлено, что отбор жеребцов для воспроизводства из потомства высоко оцененных производителей, а также соответствующий подбор с учётом происхождения и качества потомства способствуют консолидации типа лошадей и повышению качества их потомства. Научная новизна исследования заключается в проведённом анализе современного состояния основных линий новоалтайской породы лошадей в зависимости от оценки их представителей по качеству потомства., The evaluation of stallions by the offspring quality is one of the main methods of selection widely used in horse breeding since it is an assessment of an animal by offspring, by the ability to transmit its qualities to next generations, is the best indicator of its breeding value. Taking into account that the timely identification of genotypic properties and the widespread use of stallions of outstanding quality offspring is one of the most powerful methods of selective impact on the breed, the study of the “hereditary power” of producers in the context of the Novoaltai breed is of particular relevance. The aim of the study was to evaluate the stallions by the quality of the offspring in order to expediency of their use in breeding work. The article analyzes and compares the performance indicators of using linear and nonlinear stallions. Evaluation of the stallions-producers on the quality of the offspring in the selection of the Novoaltai breed allowed us to determine the unequal influence of producers of different lines on its development. According to the research results, a significant heterogeneity of the lines in the composition and breeding value of the producers was noted. The results of the study showed the superiority of the posterity of Konegor line in the main breeding traits - live weight and evaluation of conformation. Along with it, quite high results were noted of stallions of Mech, Recruit, Grozny and Klapan lines. It was found that the selection of stallions for reproduction from the offspring of highly rated producers, as well as the appropriate selection, taking into account the origin and quality of the offspring, contribute to the consolidation of the horses type and improve the quality of their offspring. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the current state of the main lines of the Novoaltai horse breed, depending on the assessment of their representatives by the quality of the offspring.

Цель исследований заключалась в поиске перспективных линий гороха различного морфотипа, обеспечивающих большую отдачу от их использования. Представлены результаты изучения 15 селекционных линий. Работу проводили в 2017-2019 гг. на опытном поле, расположенном в типичных условиях Приобской лесостепи Алтайского края. Годы проведения полевых экспериментов различались по метеоусловиям, что позволило объективно оценить исследуемый материал. По сумме осадков за вегетацию 2017 г. был влажным (288,8 мм), 2018 г. - близким к нормальному (210,9 мм), 2019 г. - засушливым (144,9 мм). Самыми высокорослыми оказались представители листочкового морфотипа Л-Н.О.П. (90 см), Л-46/12 (85 см), Л-23/07 (85 см), Кр. Яр 455 х Таловец-55 (81 см). Среди усатых форм по этому признаку выделилась линия гороха полевого (пелюшка) Л-47/17 ПУ (95 см). По устойчивости к полеганию лучшими были усатые формы. По зерновой продуктивности достоверные прибавки урожая относительно стандарта обеспечил горох усатого типа ОТБ.НОП Ус (+0,72 т/га), Л-47/17 ПУ (+0,61 т/га), Л-37/99 К(03) (+0,51 т/га). Среди листочковых форм выделились Л-35/17 (+1,03 т/га), Л-23/07 (+0,95 т/га), Л-Кр. Яр 455 х Таловец-55 (+0,79 т/га), Л-15/17 ОтБ.Б. (+0,53 т/га). Горох - не только источник продовольственного и фуражного зерна, он играет важную роль в кормопроизводстве как укосная культура. В подборке изучаемых форм листочковые линии (Л-Кр. Яр 455 х Таловец-55, Л-23/07, Л-Н.О.П., (Труженик х Л-31/80) х Омский неосыпающийся, Л-15/17 ОТБ.Б.) превосходили стандарт Аванс по урожайности зеленой массы на 0,61.1,26 т/га, по сбору сухого вещества - на 0,29.0,82 т/га. По результатам комплексной оценки наибольший интерес для производства растительного сырья представляют линии гороха полевого (пелюшка) Л-47/17 ПУ усатого морфотипа и линия Л-Н.О.П. листочкового морфотипа.
