Study of intron length polymorphism of the α-tubulin genes as a method of analysis of the genetic differentiation in plants. Ukr.
Aim. The aim of the work was to analyze current genetic structure of honey bee populations in Ukraine that belong to different subspecies: A. meliffera meliffera, A. meliffera carnica, A. meliffera macedonica using microsatellite markers. Methods. SSR-analysis was used for evaluation of the honey bee polymorphism. Amplified fragments were fractionated by electrophoresis in non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel. DNA bands were detected using silver nitrate staining. Results. The analysis of the sample of honey bees (workers and male-bees) collected from different regions of Ukraine was performed by using two SSR-markers (Ac011 and A007). In this sample reasonably high polymorphism was observed, especially for the SSR-marker A007. Conclusions. It was estimated that SSR-analysis method can be applied in molecular-genetic analysis of honey bees for evaluation of genetic diversity and cross-subspecies hybridization.

Aim. Using DNA markers related to the genes encoding β-tubulin in plants, to evaluate the intraspecific genetic polymorphism of Ulmus pumila L. in the Steppe Prydniprov'yia and compare it with the polymorphism of this species within the natural range. Method. Analysis of the intron length of polymorphism of β-tubulin genes (TBPmethod). Results. It was established that the plants differ from each other slightly in terms of the number of identified amplicons and the nature of their distribution when comparing electrophoretic profiles obtained on the basis of the TBP analysis for U. pumila. Half of the fragments found in the samples are rare. The average number of fragments (alleles) on the locus (Ne), Shannon information index (I) and polymorphism information content value (PIC) amounted respectively: 1.26, 0.27, 0.21, and were lower than in natural populations, analyzed using microsatellite markers. Conclusions. U. pumila plants growing in the Steppe Prydniprov'yi for the TBP markers have a lower level of genetic diversity than was found during the analysis of natural populations using other molecular markers. Among the possible reasons may be the nature (methodology) of the creation and age of the tree stands examined, as well as the nature of the genetic markers used to analyze the genetic polymorphism of the species.Keywords: TBP-method, introns, β-tubulin, Ulmus pumila, genetic diversity.
ВступУпродовж багатовікової історії Києва в озелененні використовувався Quercus robur L. Нині в місті поряд з молодими дубовими деревостанами штучного та природного походження досить часто трапляються вікові дерева Q. robur, які можуть бути залишками колишніх природних популяцій. Одні з найстарших на території міста дерев збереглися в грабовій діброві, що є основою парку-пам'ятки садово-паркового мистецтва загальнодержавного значення "Феофанія" (Matiashuk et al., 2014;Netsvetov, Prokopuk, 2016). У цих природного походження деревостанах Q. robur трапляються https://doi.org/10. 15407/ukrbotj75.05.489 Генетичні особливості фенологічних форм Quercus robur (Fagaceae) за даними аналізу поліморфізму інтронів генів β-тубуліну та мікросателітних локусів Genetic features of the phenological forms of Quercus robur (Fagaceae) according to the analysis of the introns polymorphism of β-tubulin genes and microsatellite loci. Ukr. Bot. J., 2018, 75(5): 489-500. Abstract. Early and late phenological forms of Quercus robur (Fagaceae) have been investigated using microsatellite markers and a DNA marker system based on the study of the intron's length polymorphism of the β-tubulin genes (TBP-markers). Relatively low indicators of genetic variability have been established (H O = 0.342 ± 0.208, H E = 0.566 ± 0.199 in the early and H O =0.288 ± 0.136, H E = 0.461 ± 0.216 in the late phenological groups) in 40 analyzed plants of two samples with microsatellite loci. The genetic differences between the early and late forms of Q. robur have been determined. The 9 unique alleles for microsatellite loci and 4 fragments for TBP loci among the trees of the early form, and 5 unique alleles for the microsatellite and TBP loci for the late form have been discovered. In particular, the differences in the frequency of prevalent alleles quru-GA-0C19-222 (practically absent at the late phenological sample) and quru-GA-0C19-226 (frequency reaches more than 80% in the early phenological form and only about 50% in the late) have been detected. The evaluation of the TBP polymorphism indices conducted for the investigated forms of Q. robur have revealed a lower number of fragments in the early (Ne = 1.218 ± 0.040) compared with the late phenological form of Q. robur (Ne = 1.294 ± 0.042). The value of PIC (Polymorphism Information Content) for this type of markers has been greater in the late phenological form Q. robur (PIC = 0.274 ± 0.025) than in the early form (PIC = 0.209 ± 0.022). Also, according to Shannon's information index, there are differences between the early (I = 0.253 ± 0.029) and the late (I = 0.320 ± 0.031) phenological forms of Q. robur. Analysis of the molecular variation by TBP markers (AMOVA) has been revealed slight differences in the investigated phenological forms of Q. robur. Thus, 91% of the genetic diversity of Q. robur is for intra-sample polymorphism, and 9% is inter-sampling in the overall genetic heterogeneity of the species. Our results showed that variation in seasonal timing in Q. robur is not only attributed to the va...
