Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an agriculturally important plant that has a wide range of applications in industry, and the direction of cultivar application is determined by its genetic characteristics. The present work aimed to obtain high-quality sequences of flax genomes and transcriptomes for genetically diverse cultivars and lines, which have breeding value and different direction of use. Six cultivars/lines (LM98, #3896, Diplomat, Atlant, Universal, Alizee) were selected for the present work. We have developed an optimal method for the extraction of pure high-molecular-weight DNA from flax plants and performed genome and transcriptome sequencing. From 6 to 10 Gb was obtained for each of the studied flax cultivars/lines on the Oxford Nanopore platform and 20-25 million reads on the Illumina platform. Transcriptome sequencing of different flax tissues was also performed. Genome assembly using Flye resulted in the N50 value from 200 kb to 1 Mb depending on the genotype. Genome annotation was then performed. The obtained genome assemblies are the basis for molecular genetic studies in flax and allow assessment of the differences in L. usitatissimum cultivars/lines at the genome-wide level.

In the genomic analysis of trees, species belonging to the Populus genera serve as model objects. In our work, we carried out sequencing of the genome of male and female plants of Populus x sibirica, which are widespread in the Moscow region. Achieve high quality de novo In assemblies, we used a combination of two platforms, namely Oxford Nanopore and Illumina, to obtain long and high-precision short read operations, respectively. In general, using the MinION sequencer, we got 18 GB with an average N50 of 25 kb for each genotype, while using the HiSeq 2500 tool, we got from 36 to 52 million paired 125 + 125 readings for male and female plants. The Shasta assembler provided the best assembly results: N50 values ​​were around 0.5 MB, and integrity was above 95% according to BUSCO. Analysis of the high-quality genomes of male and female P. x sibirica trees makes it possible to identify genes associated with poplar sex, which will facilitate the determination of its sex determination mechanism.

Auxin has a crucial influence on genes expression. In this work, we show that transcriptional activity of an auxin-sensitive gene MAKR4 (MEMBRANE ASSOSIATED KINASE REGULATOR 4) depends on the composite elements in its upstream regulatory region. Analysis of such elements could clarify the understanding of the regulation of this gene and other auxin-sensitive genes.

Abstract Currently functional nutrition has developed intensively. Functional foods are a valuable addition to existing dietary therapy. Such products are enriched with biologically active substances. Anthocyanins attract particular attention due to multiple beneficial properties including antitumor activity. Here we used two wheat near-isogenic lines created at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS [1] that have almost similar genomes with the exception of a small part of chromosome 2A, which contains the Pp3/TaMyc1 gene regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis, to assess the effect of an anthocyanin-rich grain diet on the development and metastasis of the Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), as well as the accompanying immune response in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were kept at a grain or standard diet for four month prior tumor transplantation. A decrease in the number of metastases in the lungs and the size of the tumor in the groups at a grain diet, regardless of the content of anthocyanins, was revealed. However, the highest percentage of animals without metastases was observed at an anthocyanin-rich grain diet. The LLC transplantation caused a significant increase in plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and LIF) in mice at a standard diet, but not in animals at grain diets. Thus, the anthocyanin-rich diet helps to reduce the severity of the tumor process. The antitumor effects of grain diets are probably mediated by modulation of signaling pathways associated with IL-6 cytokines.

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important crop in the world. It provides about 20% of the total calories consumed by humans. For a long time, wheat selection was mainly based on phenotypic traits of the shoot, but the roots were given little attention. As a result, the root system of modern wheat varieties has weakened. Therefore, the study of genetic control of wheat roots development is an urgent issue. In this study, sequencing of RNA libraries from roots and coleoptile of Russian spring variety “Saratovskaya, 29” was performed. De novo transcriptome was assembled. 31,488 up-regulated, 35,851 down-regulated and 18,040 roots-specific transcripts were found. The subsequent analysis of genes with differential expression will allow choosing the candidate genes for development of wheat varieties with resistant root system.

The World Vegetable Gene Bank, in Taiwan, houses a unique genebank of mungbean. Here we analyze the genomes of 293 accessions that represent the major market classes. GWAS analysis conducted on phenotypic data obtained in Astrakhan experimental station of VIR in 2019 and multi-environmental GWAS analysis with phenotypic data obtained in different locations and time periods (Taiwan 1984, Taiwan 2018, India 2016, Kuban 2018, Astrakhan 2019) identified a large number of genome intervals and potential gene candidates that may affect important agronomic traits. To find out the effects of different climatic conditions on phenotypic traits, the data was subjected to AMMI and GGE biplot analyses. Phenotyping the mini-core collection of mungbean in different climatic locations can estimate phenology traits such as maturation. Uncovering SNPs for these traits will speed breeding efforts for production of mungbean suitable for cultivation in temperate regions.

The Vavilov seed bank contains numerous landraces collected nearly hundred years ago, before intensive breeding of most crops, and thus is a potential reservoir of historic crop adaptations. Here we analyze the genomes of 407 of Vavilov\’s original landraces, sampled from major historic centers of chickpea cultivation and secondary diversification. We performed GWAS to find associations between VIR’s chickpea accessions and phenotypic data obtained in Kuban experimental station of VIR in 2017 under infectious conditions. To find out the effects of infectious conditions on phenotypic traits, the data was subjected to AMMI and GGE biplot analyses.

Site-directed mutagenesis provides ample opportunity for reverse genetics, which allows us to establish a relationship between a gene and its function. In the present study, the role of the HvWIN1 barley (Hordeum vulgare) gene in the formation of epicuticular wax was identified by taking a targeted knockout approach using RNA-guided Cas9 endonuclease technology.

Mobile genetic elements are widely spread across the genomes of plants and animals. Of them, retrotransposons occupy substantial part of the genome. They had a huge impact on host genome evolution. However, their current activity in plant cell is thought to be very low on both RNA and cDNA (mobilome) levels because multiple silencing pathways. To get deeper insight into the mechanisms of mobilome formation we carried out identification of transcribed TEs of model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Using bioinformatics and ‘wet’ approaches we found evidence of expression of 6 TEs of A.thaliana. This opens a door for further functional studies of how some TEs can overcome the genome defense against retrotransposon activity.
