Inclusión de la perspectiva de interseccionalidad y la justicia reproductiva en el marco del cambio climático desde la bioética
Authors: Trevizo Ana Violeta
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo propone la inclusión de la perspectiva de interseccionalidad y la justicia reproductiva en el marco del cambio climático y el abordaje de las políticas públicas de mitigación desde la perspectiva bioética. Plantea la vulnerabilidad que viven los grupos marginados y las inequidades interseccionales como el eje central en la falta de autonomía y libertad reproductiva; y cómo esas inequidades se exacerban con el cambio climático, afectando mayormente a mujeres pobres, indígenas, afrodescendientes, y migrantes. Se propone el principio de igualdad de trato y de oportunidades entre mujeres y hombres, el empoderamiento económico y educativo de las mujeres, su participación e integración en las decisiones políticas sobre el cambio climático, y la inclusión de la transversalidad de género en la discusión y análisis de la crisis climática. Llamamos a una conciencia ética bajo el eje de la biofilia o liga básica con el todo de la vida y el proceso de evolución propuesta por O. Wilson y seguida por L. Sagols.
Apuntes críticos para una hermenéutica de las estéticas del Antropoceno
Authors: Lomelí Bravo Sebastián
Published: January 2021

El presente artículo discute algunas de las condiciones problemáticas previas a la postulación de una estética ambiental crítica que pudiese estar orientada a la comprensión de la devastación ecológica. En un primer momento se mostrarán los límites de la estética hermenéutica para analizar la precomprensión de la naturaleza en el arte, así como la necesidad de desarrollar una teoría sobre la movilización del espectador desde el arte. En un segundo momento se cuestionan las estéticas ambientales tradicionales que fundamentan la responsabilidad ética en los valores estéticos. Finalmente, se exponen algunas de las implicaciones políticas del uso de la categoría de lo sublime en los proyectos artísticos sobre el cambio climático y el Antropoceno.
Colapso climático y la ecoética biofílica: la pandemia de la COVID-19 en la antesala
Authors: Sagols Lizbeth
Published: January 2021

Este artículo muestra la importancia de atender la crisis del calentamiento global desde una perspectiva eco-ética. Se muestran los datos relevantes sobre la crisis del clima a fin de dejar atrás la idea de un mero cambio climático y entender que estamos ante la posibilidad de un colapso irreversible cuya antesala es la crisis sanitaria de la COVID-19. Desde el punto de vista ético, ubicamos la causa de esta situación en el antropocentrismo endogámico que nos ha centrado en el ejercicio del poder y el desarrollo de una tecnología que altera sistemas complejos como el clima y pierde control frente a ellos. Sugerimos como antídoto una eco-ética pensada por Aldo Leopold capaz de incorporar (en esta primera aproximación) las observaciones y planteamientos éticos de autores contemporáneos como Jared Diamond y Dale Jamieson. Lo común a todos ellos es la importancia que conceden a la construcción de un sujeto biofílico, humilde ante el conjunto de la vida, y decidido autónomamente a contribuir al mejoramiento del planeta a pesar de la realidad adversa.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la adición de plástico como componente parcial del agregado grueso en el concreto, para el diseño de bloques ecológicos, estableciendo una ecuación lineal que estima la resistencia del bloque a la compresión, variando los volúmenes de cemento, arena, grava y plástico. Para el diseño de los bloques se consideró el volumen en tres proporciones (cemento/agregado fino/agregado grueso), de esta forma se realizaron cuatro tipos de proporciones de mezclas (1/1/1; 1/1,25/2,5; 1/1,5/3 y 1/2/4). El agregado grueso de piedra como componente parcial, fue reemplazado por plástico de tipo polietileno de alta densidad (PEAD) en escamas, en proporciones de 0; 25 y 50% de sustitución pétreo grueso. La resistencia a la compresión - peso unitario del concreto, se midió después de 30 días de curado. La metodología de investigación fue de tipo cuantitativo, de diseño descriptivo experimental. Los resultados fueron analizados mediante un análisis de regresión polinomica lineal en los parámetros, aplicando el paquete estadístico SPSS 25, y su precisión fue juzgada por parámetros nacionales e internacionales, INEN Ecuador 0858 y ASTM C39. Los resultados revelaron que las adiciones de 25 y 50% de plástico como agregado grueso, reducen el peso unitario del concreto hasta 9,7 y 12,02%, respectivamente. Pero en tal caso, la reducción de la resistencia a la compresión fue de hasta el 29,17 y 48,5%, respectivamente, para su mejor efectividad, disminuyendo solo el peso unitario de las piezas.
The Autoneige as Workaround: Infrastructural Momentum at The Emergence of the Snowmobile
Authors: Pringle Wendy
Published: January 2021

Background Drawing on infrastructure theories of communication, this article considers the snowmobile as an exceptional instance of transport and media circulation in rural Québec and Eastern Canada. In the early twentieth century, the snowmobile provided a temporary fix to the isolation of developing communities. When the snow and cold descended on these regions, both transport and communication came to a standstill for months.

Analysis This article explores how the snowmobile provided a workaround to the environmental conditions that cut parts of the nation off from the evolving mobilities of the era.

Conclusions and implications Transporting people, goods, and messages across social and environmental divides, the snowmobile illustrates how challenging topographies can precipitate invention. This process of mediation is indivisible from its social, environmental, and cultural context.
Legitimating Worker Disentitlement: Depictions of Postal Workers’ Wage Struggles in Globe and Mail Editorials, 1970–2015
Authors: Russell Ellen , Bonnis Brittainy Ruth
Published: January 2021

Background Since the late 1970s, inflation-adjusted wages have stagnated as workers’ bargaining power has diminished. The discursive environment in which workers’ wage entitlements is contested is an important—yet often neglected—influence on worker bargaining power.

Analysis The authors examine editorials published in the Globe and Mail between 1970 and 2015 related to postal workers’ wage bargaining to examine the criteria advanced to evaluate the legitimacy of workers’ wage demands.

Conclusions and implications The discourses examined contribute to normalizing and legitimating postal worker disentitlement by emphasizing harm as the evaluatory criterion by which workers’ demands are judged. This framing of postal workers and their wage struggles contributes to an environment in which the legitimacy of wage demands is undermined, contributing to the overall economic and political climate in which wages have stagnated.
Differences in knowledge, uncertainty, and social context in four medical TV series from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and the United States
Authors: Lo Yin-Yueh , Huang Chun-Ju
Published: January 2021

Television series that mix real science and imagery science make up a fascinating genre in popular science. While previous research on entertainment media focuses on Western examples and seldom includes Asian TV series, this study explores how medicine is portrayed in four TV series located in a hospital setting which were broadcasted in Taiwan. Yet, they were produced in different cultures: Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and the United States. We found that the emphasis is more on the social contexts of medicine than on factual medical information. Yet, fictional TV series may be crucial for contextualizing science and science-based medicine.
Diagnosis of potato rot nematode Ditylenchus destructor using PCR-RFLP

Published: January 2021

During an investigation of nematodes in the Moscow region of Russia in 2019, a known species Ditylenchus destructor was recovered from tubers of potato plants. The genus Destructor is one of the most problematic genera of plant-parasitic nematodes. The numerous species reported for this genus have been cited from various sources. Due to the morphological similarity of many species and the lack of separation characteristics, the identification of D. destructor is difficult. Molecular taxonomy and phylogeny were used to confirm the identification. In the current study, PCR-RFLP illustrative models for the amplification of the ITS-rRNA gene were provided with two enzymes that could recognize D. destructor in potato tubers. Analysis of the rDNA sequences spanning both ITS1-ITS2 regions was carried out on the collected populations. The digestion of the PCR product of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region with the enzyme TaqI produced three fragments; 100, 190, 550, and with Tru1I, two fragments were produced; 300 and 480 bp. The obtained DNA sequences were compared with those DNA sequences deposited in GenBank of populations isolated in other countries. The results showed no distinction between populations isolated from different host plant species, including populations found in the Russian Federation. New sequences from ITS-rRNA were deposited in the GenBank under accession number MN122076, MN658597, MN658599, MN658637, MN658638.

Published: January 2021

Waqf is a very noble deed. Each waqf property must be managed and developed in accordance with the philosophical values of wisdom, which is to be good for social life and charity that always flows to the waqf. Such a goal, will not be achieved if the management of waqf is contrary to Islamic law and legislation, such as the management that occurred in Meureubo District caused a lot of problems. Therefore, this study formulates the management of waqf land, obstacles, and strategies for developing waqf land in Meureubo Sub-district, West Aceh District. This research is qualitative descriptive with a case study method or approach, carried out at KUA and Meureubo District communities. Data collection technique’s through interviews is observation and documentation. Data analysis techniques are carried out by data reduction, data presentation, and data verification to formulate the concept of findings based on waqf management theory. The result of the research shows that: (1) Management of waqf land management in Meureubo is not implemented well, because the manager is in the form of an individual. This form does not give birth to two management indicators that are: planning and organizing. (2) Obstacles in the management of waqf land are lack of community understanding about waqf, lack of awareness of wakif and nazir waqf, weak government institutional role, low-quality human resources, and lack of supervision. (3) The strategies are a) synergy between agencies or institutions, b) socialization of the representatives, c) improvement of the quality of the waqf ruling.

One of the most respected journals in the Crimean Tatar language, in 1930s was “Emel” (“Aspiration”), which was published in Pazarchik (Romania) from the 1st of January of 1930s up to the 1940s. “Emel“ was arabographic up to the end of the 1930s, and only the last issues were published in Latin. Totally there were published 154 issues. The style of the journal in logotype was shown like this: “Scientific, literary, public and economical journal. Published once in 15 days”. Chief editor of the journal was popular Crimean Tatar writer, publicist and public figure Mistergip Fazil (Ulkusal). Different problems of the language, literature, culture and public life were highlighted regularly and published in the journal. At the same time there were given critical articles, reviews on the results of the scientific conferences of 1927, 1929, 1934 and discussions of Crimean Tatar literary language materials. A very big amount of literary material was published and discussed there: fiction literature, poetry, drama. Lots of articles were devoted to Stalin` s policy in the USSR. Real reasons of repressions against kulaks (wealthy citizens of the USSR) were presented and analyzed, severe repressions against Crimean Tatar specialists: scholars, writers and teachers of the Crimea were highlighted on the pages of the journal. The given article also analyzes the content of the journal connected with the Crimean Tatar diaspora in Romania. The attribution of some pseudonyms and abbreviations are given as well.

A review of the monograph “History of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University in documents and photographs” (Simferopol, 2018), sponsored by the staff of the Museum of History of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University. This is a structural subdivision headed by A. A. Nepomnyashchiy, the Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Historical Regional Studies and Local History of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that, despite of the significant number of publications on the history of this educational institution, the true history of the university in the scientific sense of the word, has not yet been published. The publication is prepared by the museum staff and based on the materials obtained in the course of painstaking research, which are stored in the archives of Simferopol, Moscow, Makhachkala and St. Petersburg. The monograph attempted to summarize the data found by the authors in the archives, as well as the information available in the literature today regarding the history of one of the oldest universities in southern Russia. The monograph “The history of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University in documents and photographs” has become a worthy continuation of publications about the history not only of the university itself, but also of the entire scientific school of the Crimea. I would like to express the hope that these books will be in demand among the scientists, professors and university students, and all those who are interested in the history of the Crimea.
The image of Ismail Gasprinsky in everyday perception of Volga Tatars (late 19th – early 20th century)
Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Gabdrafikova Liliya R.
Published: January 2021

This article examines the role of the newspaper “Terdzhiman” and of its publisher Ismail Gasprinskiy in everyday life of the Volga Tatars.The Crimean Tatar educator was famous like a popularizer of the new teaching method, he created a unique media channel and he has made the Ottoman variation of European culture popular among the Tatars, he propounded the modernization of different aspects of everyday life. The Muslim identity of Ismail Gasprinsky, his personal achievements and European image reinforced the influence of the ideas he promoted. He was an idol for Tatar youth. Therefore, the publisher of the newspaper “Terdzhiman” has become a symbol of the national progress. At the beginning of the 20th century Tatar businessmen and intellectuals began to use the image of Gasprinsky in promotional products, in the education and trade. However different generations of Tatar intellectuals evaluated personality of Gasprinsky in their own way: in addition to the approval of his educational work, some criticism of his ideas and motives coexisted. This confrontation intensifies after 1905, when other Tatar newspapers and magazines appeared. But the figure of Gasprinsky was legendary, and even after death he remained the main symbol of Tatar education.

“Halil Pasha’s Border” and “the two hours”
Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Osman Sergean
Published: January 2021

Tatars and Romanians, during the last century of the Crimean Khanate, included times of collaboration, but also times of dissension, major incidents (captivities, wintering`s, crossings of territories inhabited by Romanians), as well as minor reprehensible events, caused by the Tatars and the Moldavians. The latter kind, ranging from defendants accused of various thefts, rapes, smugglings, beatings, harassments, transgressions, crimes, etc. are detailed in Constantin Mavrocordatos’ Chronicle. This precious source shows that both in Moldova and in the Crimean Khanate there were institutions that controlled such types of daily disputes. More particular situations, such as the killing of a Tatar in Moldova or the killing of a Moldavian in the Khanate, fell under the jurisdiction of the sovereign of the place where that case had occurred and, usually, an amiable solution was found. An eloquent example of this is the command issued on November 26th-December 5th 1726 / evâil rebi ül-âhir 1139, addressed to the Moldavian prince, Grigore Ghica (1726–1733), to solve the discords between the Tatars of Budjak and Moldavians, discords which had been caused by crimes and border passing; the intended solution was to name an apt and trustworthy boyar who would negotiate the misunderstandings with the emissary of the Crimean Khan – Mengli Giray (1724–1730) [3, p. 282]. However, other major events, such as the ones caused by the Tatars’ intrusions over the Moldavian borders, territorial invasions which have known various flux and reflux phases – they all deserve closer investigations.
Intraspecific variations in life history traits of two pecky rice bug species from Japan: mapping emergence dates and number of annual generations

Published: January 2021

The mirid bugs Stenotus rubrovittatus and Trigonotylus caelestialium,
which cause pecky rice, have become a threat to rice cultivation in
Asia. Damage caused by these pests has rapidly become frequent since
around 2000 in Japan. Their expansion pattern is not simple, making it
difficult to manage them by prediction. Some insects with wide
distributions have locally adapted variations in life-history traits. We
performed laboratory rearing experiments to assess the geographical
scale of intraspecific variations in life-history traits of S.
rubrovittatus and T. caelestialium. These were aimed at increasing the
accuracy of occurrence estimates and the number of generations per year.
These results were compared with previous research, and differences in
development rates were observed between populations of different
latitudes, but not of the same latitude. Finally, plotting the timing of
adult emergence and the potential number of generations per year on maps
with a 5-km grid revealed that they differed greatly locally at the same
latitude. These maps can be used for developing more efficient methods
of managing mirid bugs in integrated pest management.
Repair of contained ventricular rupture with infected intrapericardial thrombus
Authors: DeBoard Zachary , Fishbaugher John
Published: January 2021

Ischemia-mediated ventricular rupture is a rarely encountered process in
the era of early percutaneous revascularization. Contained rupture, or
pseudoaneurysm often occurs as a result of pericardial adhesions. Even
more uncommon is the presence of associated infection involving the
rupture. We present the case of a patient with an infected
intrapericardial thrombus in the setting of a left ventricular free wall
rupture who underwent successful repair.
The trade-off between investment in weapons and fertility is mediated through spermatogenesis in the leaf-footed cactus bug Narnia femorata
Authors: Cavender Katelyn , Ricker Tessa , Lyon Mackenzie , Shelby Emily , Miller Christine , Moore Patricia
Published: January 2021

Males have the ability to compete for fertilizations through both
pre-copulatory and post-copulatory intrasexual competition.
Pre-copulatory competition has selected for large weapons and other
adaptations to maximize access to females and mating opportunities while
post-copulatory competition has resulted in ejaculate adaptations to
maximize fertilization success. Negative associations between these
strategies support the hypothesis that there is a trade-off between
success at pre- and post-copulatory mating success. Recently, this
trade-off has been demonstrated with experimental manipulation. Male
leaf-footed cactus bugs, Narnia femorata, that lose a weapon by autotomy
during development invest instead in large testes. While evolutionary
outcomes of the trade-offs between pre- and post-copulatory strategies
have been identified, less work has been done to identify proximate
mechanisms by which the trade-off might occur, perhaps because the
systems in which the trade-offs have been investigated are not ones that
have the molecular tools required for exploring mechanism. Here we
applied knowledge from a related model species for which we have
developmental knowledge and molecular tools, the milkweed bug Oncopeltus
fasciatus, to investigate the proximate mechanism by which autotomized
N. femorata males developed larger testes. Autotomized males had
evidence of a higher rate of transit amplification divisions in the
spermatogonia, which would result in greater sperm numbers.
Identification of mechanisms underlying a trade-off can help our
understanding of the direction and constraints on evolutionary
trajectories and thus the evolutionary potential under multiple forms of
selection.
Large Impact of obesity on the disposition of ivermectin, moxidectin and eprinomectin in a canine model: relevance for COVID-19 patients.
Authors: Bousquet-Melou Alain , Lespine Anne , Sutra Jean-François , Bargues Isabelle , Toutain Pierre Louis
Published: January 2021

Background and Purpose: Based on in vitro data, ivermectin (IVM) has
been proposed for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, a condition
for which obesity is a major risk factor. IVM dosage is based on total
body weight and there are no recommendations to adjust dosage in obese
patients. The objective of this study was to establish, in a canine
model, the influence of obesity on the clearance and steady-state volume
of distribution of IVM and two analog compounds, moxidectin (MOX) and
eprinomectin (EPR). Experimental Approach: An experimental model of
obesity in dogs was based on a high calorie diet. IVM, MOX and EPR were
administered intravenously, simultaneously in combination, to a single
group of dogs in two circumstances, during a control period and when
body weight had been increased by 50%. Key Results: In obese dogs,
clearance, expressed in absolute values (L/day), was not modified for
MOX and reduced for IVM and EPR, compared to the initial control state.
When scaled by body weight (L/day/kg), plasma clearance was reduced by
42, 55 and 63%, for MOX, IVM and EPR, respectively. In contrast, the
steady-state volume of distribution was markedly increased in absolute
values (L) by obesity. Conclusion and Implications: For IVM and MOX, the
obese dog model suggests that the maintenance dose should not be
adjusted by total body weight in the obese subject but should be based
on lean body weight. On the other hand, the loading dose should be
computed based on the total body weight of the obese subject.

ablation for AF using 50W power, targeting AI values of 550 on the
anterior left atrium (LA), 400 on the posterior wall and inter-lesion
distance (ILD) 6mm. They achieved 1st pass PVI in 96.7% of cases, mean
RF time was 11.5min and total procedure time was only 55.8min. All
patients had 72h-Holter monitor and trans-telephonic follow up. They
reported 89.4% arrhythmia free survival among patients with paroxysmal
AF and 80.4% among patients with persistent AF at 15-month follow up.
Sixty (49%) patients had luminal esophageal temperature (LET)
>390C out of which 3 (2.5%) had asymptomatic endoscopic
esophageal erosions/erythema. Four (3%) patients had clinically
apparent steam pops during ablation with no adverse clinical sequela.
While AI-HP guided RF ablation may be an attractive strategy for PVI
that likely reduces procedure times and probably has comparable efficacy
to conventional ablation settings, its safety requires further
evaluation. Feedback from the ablated tissue may need to be incorporated
into optimized ablation energy parameters to further improve outcomes.

Wpływ pandemii COVID-19 na handel rolno-spożywczy Polski: pierwsze doświadczenia
Authors: Ambroziak Łukasz
Published: January 2021

Wybuch pandemii COVID-19 na początku 2020 r. w sposób istotny zmienił uwarunkowania rozwoju wymiany handlowej produktami rolno-spożywczymi. Celem artykułu jest próba oceny wpływu pierwszych miesięcy pandemii COVID-19 na polski handel rolno-spożywczy. Analizy dokonano na podstawie niepublikowanych danych Ministerstwa Finansów, stosując metodę statystyczno-opisową. Z wstępnych danych handlowych za pierwsze półrocze 2020 r. wynikało, że poza nielicznymi wyjątkami polski eksport rolno-spożywczy dobrze radził sobie w okresie największych ograniczeń związanych z przemieszczaniem się ludności wprowadzonych wskutek pandemii COVID-19. Było to efektem m.in. tego, iż żywność jest produktem pierwszej potrzeby (tak, jak np. leki) i cechuje ją niższa elastyczność dochodowa popytu, a także relatywnie niewielkich zakłóceń w produkcji.

Authors: Toktaş Yılmaz , Parlinska Agnieszka
Published: January 2021

In this study, for the 2012M1-2020M1 period, the relationship between Poland’s real effective exchange rate and its food and animal exports were examined by the bounds test. The stationary analyses of variables were examined by the ADF and PP tests. According to the results of a cointegration test, a cointegration relation among the real effective exchange rate, food and live animal exports, as well as industrial production was determined. It was also concluded that the real effective exchange rate has a long-term negative impact on Poland's food and live animal exports. This research also established that a 1% increase in the real effective exchange rate in the long-term would decrease Poland's food and animal exports by 3.091%. Also, industrial production has a positive impact on Poland’s food and animal exports, as expected. It was determined that a 1% increase in industrial production would increase Poland’s food and animal exports by 2.803%. On the other hand, the error correction term coefficient was found to be -0.119, indicating that 11% of the imbalance in the short-term will be recovered in the next period.

Phenotyping of native cultivars is becoming more essential, as they are an
important for breeders as a genetic source for breeding. The variability of
morphological properties plays critical role in melon breeding. In this
paper various machine learning approaches were implemented to identify melon
accession classes. A field experiment was conducted in Zahak Agriculture
station to differentiate 144 melon accessions based on 14 traits. For this,
Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA), Support Vector Machine
(SVM), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Classification And
Regression Trees (CART) were compared. The most commonly used performance
values comprise overall accuracy, kappa value, Receiver Operating
Characteristics (ROC) and Area Under Curve (AUC) were performed to identify
accuracy of the models. The results showed the best performance for CART
than others. The AUC and kappa value were 0.85 and 0.80 and fruit weight was
the most important trait that affecting diversity in melon accessions.
Regarding to these results Classification And Regression Trees (CART) is
reliable for identification of melon accessions classes.

Biodiesel and biogas are especially important sources of renewable energy in
the world and in Serbia. Biodiesel is used as transportation fuel; biogas is
used for production of electricity and heat. Soybean (Glycine max L.) grain
is the primary source of vegetable protein for food and feed supplements,
also accounts for much of the world?s bio-oil supply. Due to the development
of new technologies for processing agricultural waste into energy, the rate
of increase in the use of alternative fuels is significantly increasing. The
aim of this study was to determine the productivity of soybeans and the
possibility of obtaining biogas from soybeans in divergent years, 2017-2019.
Main effects were monitored, genotypes (G), years (Y) and genotype by years
interaction effects (G x Y) and were used for evaluation of soybean
genotypes in different environments. Soybean varieties were tested for mass
of 1000 grain (MTG), plant height (PH), grain yields (GY) and biogas yield
(BY). Stability of grain and biogas yield was determined to select best
genotype. Results showed that genotype and years had a significant impact on
all measured variables. In all tested years, the biggest GY and BY were at
genotypes G1 (2.40-4.49 t ha-1, and 461.00-641.00 m3 ha-1, respectively) and
G3 (1.97-4.30 t ha-1; i.e. 447.67-620.00 m3 ha-1). Genotype G2 had
statistically significantly lower values for all tested parameters compared
to other tested genotypes. Correlation analysis of some chosen traits showed
different interdependence between measured variables depending on the year
conditions. The results of this study pointed out that among best genotypes
for production of grain and biogas were G1 and G3. From the results of this
study it can be concluded that G x Y trials are important for evaluation of
stability and choosing the most stable genotypes of soybean.

Crop cultivation under the open-field conditions depends on a variety of
biotic and abiotic factors which cause plant stress and deterioration. Due
to high soil salinity, some soils can be an unfavourable growing environment
for most plants. As a low productivity soil type, solonetz soils are a
stressful growing environment, causing plant deterioration. Plants have
developed a complex antioxidative defense system as a precaution against
oxidative stress caused by high soil salinity. The trial was set up on a
halomorphic soil type-solonetz. The research included ten cultivars, one
local population of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. aestivum L.) and
one cultivar of triticale (Triticosecale W.). The activity of enzymatic and
non-enzymatic antioxidants in plant antioxidative defense system was
detected during the trial, as well as lipid peroxidation. The analysis of
biochemical markers was done in the flowering stage, and then in the milk
maturity phase. Research results of the tested components revealed the
highest stress tolerance exhibited by genotypes Banatka and Bankut 1205.
Understanding the process of oxygen radical production by the plant tissue
contributes to breeding wheat cultivars for better stress tolerance.
Selection of genotypes better adapted to growing conditions in solonetz
soils could facilitate a more economically justifiable wheat production, and
promote utilization of the lower-quality soil types in agriculture.

SSR markers are considered to be the most ideal marker for genetic studies
because they are multi-allelic, abundant, randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome, co-dominant that could differentiate plants with
homozygous or heterozygous alleles, simple to assay, highly reliable,
reproducible. Microsatellite markers are highly polymorphic and informative
and could be successfully used for genome analysis in black gram & green
gram. Microsatellite markers were used to evaluate genetic diversity in 17
indigenous cultivars of pulse crops (11 cultivars of green gram and 6
cultivars of black gram respectively). They are subjected to variability
analysis with 26 microsatellite markers for identification efficient primers
to conclude the nature of molecular diversity present among the pulses. The
SSR primer G228 showed 63.63% of polymorphism followed by MB-SSR 238
(45.45%) and G006 (36.36%). The 12 microsatellite markers produced 15.90 %
polymorphism with banding ranged up to 7 with an average of 2.3 polymorphic
banding patterns per SSR primer. Similarly for black gram, three random
microsatellite primers G006 (50%) and G166 and G204 (33.33%) revealed
considerable DNA polymorphism. The 14 random SSR primers produced 8.33% of
polymorphism with banding ranged up to three with an average of 1.28
polymorphic banding pattern per SSR primer. The Distinguish Power (D),
Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) value and Marker Index (MI) values
revealed some SSR primers like G006, G204 and G166 can alone amplified
distinct banding pattern, where as a combination of (G228+G006), (G228+G304)
for green gram and the combination (G006+G166) can be used for black gram
for ascertaining genetic diversity at any stage of crop growth period for
green gram or black gram. From the present study we can conclude that
selective microsatellite markers are highly polymorphic, informative and
easily reproducible, which can be successfully used either as single or with
combination for molecular characterization of crop species belonging to
Vigna species.
