Doubled haploids (DHs) production through androgenesis is a biotechnological method for genetic improvement of crops. Biotechnological DH line production offers advantages to plant breeders, including the possibility to obtain homozygous lines within a year in contrast to common inbreeding methods, which may take 6–12 years. The greatest success in androgenesis has been achieved in some varieties of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). However, the efficiency of androgenesis in other Brassica species is still poor. Induction of microspore embryogenesis is usually induced by many factors such as conditions of donor plant growth, genotype, microspore developmental stage, culture medium composition, and culture conditions. The reprogramming of microspores from the gametophytic to the sporophytic habit of development depends on various stress factors. Certain pretreatments of microspores, such as high temperature and colchicine, can favor androgenesis in Brassica species. Plant regeneration from microspores can be improved by proper application of different growth regulators (ethylene, abscisic acid, and indole acetic acid). Optimal combinations of these factors are mandatory for efficient androgenesis. In this review, we summarize the experience of our colleagues in DH-technology in the Brassica genus. Attention is focused on some factors influencing the development of doubled haploid plants and their impact on enhancing the efficiency of androgenesis in Brassica species.

The EUCARPIA European Plant Genetic Resources Conference «Pre6breeding – fishing in the gene pool» was held at the campus of the Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU) in Alnarp from 10 to 13 June 2013. This meeting gathered various members of the gene bank community of practice as well as users of the genetic resources from all around the World.

On 2-4th of September, 2013 the International «XV EUCARPIA Meeting on Genetics and Breeding of Capsicum and Eggplant» was held in Torino (Italy). The problems of utilization of genetic resources, evaluation and release of breeding material were discussed. Achievements in the field of molecular genetics and biotechnology of pepper and eggplant are presented.

Based on the results of molecular-genetic analysis of pepper accessions of VNIISSOK's breeding, the parental lines were selected. The diallel crossing among them has been conducted. The F1 hybrids were developed. The hybrids vigor (heterosis) for main agronomic traits was estimated. The best pepper hybrids were selected. The potential correlation between genetic divergence determined by molecular markers and heterosis effect is speculated.

On May 21 - 24, 2012 the 6th International Symposium on Edible Alliaceae was held at Japan (Fukuoka). The symposium was devoted to innovation in agriculture and food science for edible Alliaceae crops. The symposium provided a leading opportunity for scientists, growers and market players from around the world to discuss and share information on genetics and breeding, cultivation, quality control and so on in bulb onion, garlic, and bunching onion.

The studies found that in the crosses of S. melongena with wild species, used as a male and female component, the interspecific hybrids have the traits of the generative organs of wild species: the shape and flower size, color, shape and fruit size.

October 10-13, 2012 in Saint-Petersburg (Russia) the International Conference «Innovative biotechnologies in countries of EuroAsian Economic Community» and Exhibition «Bioindustry 2012» were held. These meetings were devoted to the development and extension of fundamental and applied biotechnologies in countries of EuroAsian Economic Community.

From 8th to 11th of February, 2009 the international conference on plant abiotic stress tolerance was held in Vienna, Austria. The problems of plant resistance to abiotic stress were discussed.

June 24-27, 2012 in Reims (France) the International conference was held devoted to biological control of plant pathogens in an environmentally safe agriculture. The conference was held at the University of Reims (Universite de Reims Champagne Ardenne, France).

Suprunova, M. V. Nadezhdin, S. I. Ponina N. I. Pirogov Vinnitsa National Medical University, Vinnitsa Summary The article presents the data of the study of basically healthy pregnant women and pregnant women diagnosed with gestational and chronic pyelonephritis. There was carried out the analysis of pregnancy development and complications, delivery and post-delivery period, as well as the condition of fetus on the basis of the data of the bio-physical profile of fetus, cardiotocographic study and dopplerometric indicators of the bloodstream in uterine arteries and arteries of the navel-cord.Pregnant women with gestational pyelonephritis, compared to healthy pregnant women, more often experience such complications in pregnancy as light and moderate degree of preeclampsia, threatened miscarriage, anemia of pregnancy, placenta dysfunction. In accordance with the data of cardiotocography and bio-physical profile, disorder in the condition of fetus is observed, and resistance in the vessels of feto-placental system enhances. The mentioned above complications in conditions of chronic pyelonephritis are of a much larger-scale being compared with the ones in conditions of gestational pyelonephritis. Key words: gestational and chronic pyelonephritis in pregnancy, bio-physical profile of fetus, cardiotocographic study, dopplerometric indicators of bloodstream
