Purpose. To conduct comparative analysis of agro-meteo­rological elements dynamics over the past 35 years and the date and duration of main phenophases of plants of apple varieties to be common for Kyiv Oblast. Methods. Field, comparative, statistical ones, generalization. Results. It was established that Kyiv Oblast has experienced the steady rising of average annual temperature (by 0,6 °С), increase of yearly precipitation (by 20 mm), considerable growth of heat supply level (by 261 °С) in the vegetation period that contributes to the changes in starting date and duration of main phenophases. Conclusions. A significant increase of the sum of active and effective temperatures accumulated for the last 35-year period in Kyiv Oblast at climatological date of occurrence of certain phenophases in the development of apple trees, led to an earlier date of flowering (by 4–5 days). At the same time it did not influence the duration of this phase, but contributed to the reduction of interphase period «the end of flowering–picking maturity of fruits» by 5–12 days.

Мета. Визначити вміст амінокислот, біологічну та харчову цінність зерна різних сортів гороху озимого та продуктів його перероблення. Методи. Вміст амінокислот визначали методом іонообмінної рідинної хроматографії. Математичне оброблення отриманих даних проводили дисперсійним аналізом однофакторного польового досліду. Амінокислотний та інтегральний скори визначали розрахунково. Результати. Зерно гороху озимого сортів ‘НС Мороз’, ‘Баллтрап’ та ‘Ендуро’ мало високий вміст амінокислот. У складі есенційних амінокислот частка лізину та лейцину була найвищою – 1,53–1,77%, а частка метіоніну – найнижчою 0,25–0,28% залежно від сорту гороху озимого. Основною амінокислотою зерна гороху озимого є глютамінова, частка якої складала 3,25–3,30% від усіх амінокислот. Частка аспарагінової кислоти становила 2,30–2,37% залежно від сорту. У складі незамінних амінокислот частка цистину була найнижчою – 0,31–0,37% залежно від сорту. Частка есенційних амінокислот зерна гороху озимого становила 40–41% від їхньої суми. Частка триптофану порівняно із зерном знижувалась на 30–43%, ізолейцину – на 20–24%, метіоніну – на 8–29%, фенілаланіну, лізину, лейцину – на 8–12%, валіну – на 5–9%, треоніну – на 1–5%. У складі незамінних амінокислот щодо зерна найбільше знижувалась частка цистину – на 58–73%, гістидину – на 36–43%, гліцину – на 42–45%. Частка аланіну щодо зерна знижувалась на 19–25%, глютамінової кислоти – на 12–15%, тирозину – на 8–18%, аспарагінової кислоти – на 9–12%. Найменше знижувалась частка серину та аргініну – на 3–8%. Проте сума незамінних амінокислот знижувалась лише на 15–17% залежно від сортових особливостей. Встановлено, що амінокислотний скор зерна гороху озимого та продуктів його перероблення був бездефіцитним. Розрахунки показали, що 100 г зерна гороху озимого задовольняють біологічну потребу дорослої людини в ізолейцині – на 55–58%, валіні – на 51–42%, триптофані – на 41–50%, лізині – на 37–40%, треоніні – на 39–40%, лейцині – на 36–38%. Найбільшу добову потребу забезпечувало 100 г продуктів перероблення зерна аргініном і глютаміновою кислотою – на 20–26% залежно від сорту гороху озимого. Для решти незамінних амінокислот цей показник був на рівні 6–16% у борошні та 2–15% у крупі завдяки зниженню вмісту амінокислот у цих продуктах. Висновки. Було визначено частку амінокислот, біологічну та харчову цінність зерна різних сортів гороху озимого та продуктів його перероблення, таких як крупа та борошно. В амінокислотному складі частка незамінних амінокислот переважала, проте 100 г зерна та продуктів його перероблення найбільше задовольняють потребу в незамінних амінокислотах. Частка амінокислот знижувалась у продуктах перероблення зерна гороху озимого, особливо в крупі. Амінокислотний скор зерна гороху озимого сортів ‘НС Мороз’, ‘Баллтрап’ та ‘Ендуро’ і продуктів його перероблення був збалансованим.

The monotypic “bulbilliferous hyphomycete” genus Taxomyces was erected in 1993 for a fungal endophyte isolated from the Yew tree Taxus brevifolia and named Taxomyces andreanae. This fungus was reported to produce the plant-derived anti-cancer drug taxol. The original description of the fungus was not conclusive as to its taxonomic position because no sporulation or other salient morphological features were reported. Consequently, the taxonomic affinities of this fungus have remained obscure. However, a full genome sequence of this strain was generated by a German research group in 2013, in an unsuccessful attempt to detect the biosynthesis genes encoding for taxol. This prompted us to search for phylogenetic marker genes and compare those with the data that recently have become available from state-of-the-art polyphasic taxonomic studies. Surprisingly, the strain turned out to belong to the phlebioid clade of wood-destroying Basidiomycota as inferred from a comparison of its partial ITS, the 28S rDNA (LSU), the RNA polymerase II largest subunit (rpb1), the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), and the translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1) sequences. A multi gene genealogy based on these loci revealed that the closest relative is Ceriporiopsis (syn. Mycoacia) gilvescens. Even though such wood-destroying Basidiomycota are regularly encountered among the endophytic isolates after surface-disinfection of plant organs, the vast majority of the reported endophytic fungi belong to the Ascomycota. Nevertheless, the data available now allow for synonymizing Taxomyces with Ceriporiopsis, and the necessary new combination is made.
