[Identification of allelic state of leaf rust-resistance Lr34 gene in the cultivars of soft winter wheat of Ukrainian breeding].

The distribution of alleles at the Lr34 locus associated with leaf rust resistance among winter common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars of Ukrainian breeding was studied. Co-dominant molecular-genetic marker cssfr5 was used for detection of the allelic condition of the Lr34 locus. The cultivars with detected allele Lr34(+) were identified as potentially "resistant" and the cultivars in which detected allele Lr34(-) were identified as potentially "susceptible". The collection of the cultivars (81 ones), created in the main plant breeding centers of Ukraine was analyzed. The allele Lr34(+) was identified in 44% cultivars. Results were compared with the data about the distribution of the Lr34(+) in cultivars created in different countries.

[Efficiency of the clinical use of short-term controlled treatment (DOTS) in patients with new-onset destructive pulmonary tuberculosis].

Sixty-six patients with new-onset destructive pulmonary tuberculosis isolating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) received short-term controlled treatment (DOTS) and 117 patients were given individual treatment regimens. DOTS treatment could be effectively completed in 19.7% of the patients, but following 2 months the factors that forced individual treatment regimens to be used occurred in 80.3%. The efficacy of individual treatment regimens proved to be much higher than that of DOTS. The relationship of the efficiency of treatment to the intensity of chemotherapy, the number and sizes of caverns was studied in 250 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. It has been found that it is expedient to use a quadruple-combination therapy only in patients with small and middle-sized (less than 4 cm in diameter) solitary caverns in the lungs. Patients with multiple and large caverns should be given at least 5 antituberculous drugs from the beginning of the basic course of therapy.

[Genetic stability of wheat to fusaria and its connection with trypsin inhibitor activity in seed]. / Geneticheskaia ustoichivost' pshenitsy k fuzariozu i ee sviaz' s aktivnost'iu ingibitora tripsina v zerne.

The results of a complex estimation of hybrid lines isolated in F10 from a crossing octoploid triticale and winter hard wheat after a spontaneous hybridization of partially sterile plants with synthetic amphiploid H74/90-245 are presented. It is shown that neither contents of trypsin inhibitor nor resistance to fusarial rots conjugate with resistance to other diseases or to frost. Activity of trypsin inhibitor in grain endosperm allow a decision to be made concerning the presence of alien genetic material in the wheat genome. The donors of group resistance to diseases with a high protein content in a flour are selected.
