Изменение скорости мутационных процессов в природных популяциях хвойных юга Беларуси

Abstract

Methods for detecting mutations on haploid endosperms of Norway spruce and Scotch pine growing in the area polluted after Chernobyl Nuclear Accident are developed on the basis of electrophoretic analysis of 23-26 structural genes. Examples of mutations both changing the enzyme mobility and resulting in the loss of gene product activity (zero-variant) are given. By using developed methods the rate of mutations in different regions of contaminated after Chernobyl Nuclear Accident was established.
