The research sites are located in the zone of the right-bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Studies have shown that in areas with chemical weed control, the highest yield of sorghum grain (4.04 t / ha) was provided by the application of the herbicide Peak at a dose of 20 g/ha, which is only 0.22 t/ha less than options with manual removal weeds. This indicates the creation of favorable conditions and weak phytotoxic effect of this drug on sorghum plants. When using the herbicide Prima, the best grain yield (3.56 t/ha) was when it was applied at a dose of 0.4 l/ha. Further increase in dose led to plant suppression and reduced sorghum grain productivity. When using Grantox, the optimal dose was 0.7 l/ha, which ensured the formation of grain yield of 3.61 t/ha. Increasing the dose of the herbicide led to the suppression of sorghum plants and a decrease in its grain productivity.
According to the research results, new and improved optimized agrotechnical measures for grain sorghum cultivation have been developed, which in the research zone contribute to the fuller realization of plant genetic potential, thus increasing yields while reducing production costs.

During the research period, the impact of fertilizers and foliar fertilization on the indicators of germination and preservation of spring barley plants was assessed. The obtained research results indicate the dependence of these indicators on mineral fertilizers and foliar fertilization. As mineral fertilizers promote seed germination and intensify the processes of growth and development of spring barley plants, improve the development of the root system, moisture absorption, as well as the efficiency of assimilation of macro- and micronutrients. Conducting foliar fertilization can improve the supply of mineral nutrients in critical periods of growth and development, which has a positive effect on the bookmark and formation of generative organs, plant resistance to disease, stress resistance of plants at high temperatures, drought, increases photosynthetic activity and increases and the quality of the grain harvest.
Field germination was influenced by soil temperature and humidity during seed germination and fertilization system. The highest field similarity in the varieties Aizhan (84.1%) and Aristei (83.3%) was observed in the variants of the experiment, where mineral fertilizers were applied at a dose of N30P30K30, which is 1.2% more, respectively.
The density of plants in the phase of full germination, depending on the variety, varied in the range of 328.4-336.8 pieces / m2 and differed insignificantly according to the variants of the experiment.
Preservation of spring barley plants, depending on the study option, varied from 77.4 to 81.7%.In the variant of studies for the application of mineral fertilizer at a dose of N30P30K30, the preservation of plants was in the variety Aizhan - 79.8% and in the variety Aristei - 79.0%, which is higher than the control by 1.9 and 1.6% or 10.1 and 9.2 pcs / month
With the joint application of mineral fertilizer at a dose of N30P30K30 and foliar fertilization of plants with the biological product Yara Vita in the phase of emergence of plants in the tube and in the phase of earing in varieties Aijan and Aristei plant survival was 81.4 and 81.5%; 81.3 and 81.3%, which is higher than the control by 3.5 and 3.6% and 3.9 and 3.9%.
With the joint application of mineral fertilizer at a dose of N30P30K30 and foliar feeding of plants with microfertilizer Vuxal in the phase of plant emergence in the tube and in the phase of earing in varieties Aijan and Aristei plant survival was 81.6 and 81.7%; 81.4 and 81.5%, which is higher than the control by 3.7 and 3.8 and 4.0 and 4.1% or 16.2 and 16.7 and 17.1 and 17.5 units / м².

The article presents the results of research on the effect of various biological preparations on productivity and formation of elements of grain yield structure of mid-season hybrid maize DKS 4014. A promising direction to increase plant productivity of maize and realization of its biological potential is the ecologization of cultivation technology of crops, creation of effective, environmentally safe biological preparations and development of technologies of their application is one of the priority directions in the scientific support of the agroindustrial complex of Ukraine. The use of such preparations is possible, both independently and in combination with other components of cultivation technology, such as mineral fertilizers and plant protection products. The use of biological preparations restores soil structure, restores fertility and accelerates the mineralisation processes in the soil.
The effect of soil application of biofertilizer based on active strains of phosphorus-mobilizing and nitrogen-fixing bacteria and physiologically active substances, both alone and in combination with mycorrhizobearing bio-preparation treatment of maize seeds for active settling of root and root zone of maize hybrids was studied. The results of the obtained results of the study of biometric indicators, grain yield of maize depending on the application of soil biofertilizer, mycorrhizoforming biological preparation, and the combination of these preparations, as well as the application of soil herbicide together with a carrier-adhesive showed the improvement and increase in biometric indicators and productivity of maize, so we recommend the use of these preparations in the conditions of production. The best indicators of improving the structural elements of maize yield and yield in general were provided by the complex of preparations Graundfiks 4 l/ha + Micofrend 6 kg/ha, where the yield of mid-season hybrid DKS 4014 was 13.65 t/ha, which is 29.9% more than the control.

Aim: B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-like protein-10 (Bcl2L10) is the less studied member of Bcl-2 family proteins, with the controversial role in different cancer histotypes. Very recently, Bcl2L10 expression in melanoma tumor specimens and its role in melanoma response to therapy have been demonstrated. Here, the involvement of Bcl2L10 on the in vitro and in vivo properties associated with melanoma aggressive features has been investigated.
Methods: Endogenous Bcl2L10 protein expression was detected by western blotting analysis in a panel of patient-derived and commercially available human melanoma cells. In vitro assays to evaluate clonogenicity, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell invasion, and in vitro capillary-like structure formation [vasculogenic mimicry (VM)] have been performed by using human melanoma cells stably overexpressing Bcl2L10 or transiently transfected for loss/gain function of Bcl2L10, grown under two- or three-dimensional (3D) conditions Xenograft melanoma model was employed to evaluate in vivo tumor growth and angiogenesis.
Results: Results demonstrated that Bcl2L10 acts as an inducer of in vitro cell migration, invasion, and VM, while in vitro cell proliferation, in vivo tumor growth, as well as colony formation properties were not affected. Dissecting different signaling pathways, it was found that Bcl2L10 positively affects the phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and the expression of markers of cell invasion, such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Of note, Bcl2L10-dependent in vitro migration, invasion, and VM are linked to uPAR. Bcl2L10 also negatively regulates the intracellular calcium level. Finally, reduced invasion capability in 3D spheroid invasion assay of melanoma cells transiently overexpressing Bcl2L10 was observed after treatment with inhibitors of MMPs and uPAR.
Conclusions: Overall, data reported in this paper provide evidence supporting a positive role of Bcl2L10 in melanoma aggressive features.
