According to the results of the 2022 competition, the Russian Science Foundation supported the projects of four employees of SFSCA RAS on the priority activity "Conducting fundamental scientific research and exploratory scientific research by small individual scientific groups”.
The winners included:
Galina Moiseevna Goncharenko, Doctor of Science in Biology
Aleksey Vasilyevich Nephedchenko, Doctor of Science in Veterinary Medicine
Alexander Gavrilovich Glotov, Doctor of Science in Veterinary Medicine
Elena Igorevna Shatalova, Doctor of Science in Biology
PROJECT
STUDY OF GENETIC STRUCTURE AND IDENTIFICATION OF GENES THAT DETERMINE THE PROCESS OF PHENOTYPIC MANIFESTATION OF ECONOMICALLY USEFUL TRAITS IN DIFFERENT SHEEP BREEDS IN THE SIBERIAN-FAR EAST REGION
Project leader: Galina Moiseevna Goncharenko, Doctor of Science in Biology
Expected project results
At the end of the project work new knowledge on general zootechnical characteristic, phylogeny of Kulunda, Transbaikal, Mountain Altai, West Siberian meat, Aginsky, Buubey breeds, their genetic architecture by CAST, GH, GDF9, KRT1.2 genes and blood groups will be obtained.
Genes or genetic variants associated with economically useful qualities and adapted to local keeping and breeding conditions will be identified. Based on the genotype frequencies of CAST, GH, GDF9, KRT1.2 genes, population-genetic characterization of the studied breeds will be given: correlation coefficients between traits, heritability coefficients, inbreeding, genetic similarity indices.
The data obtained will be further used in the development of breeding programs to improve the productivity and adaptability of the sheep bred in the Siberian-Far East region.
PROJECT
Species composition and toxigenic properties of clostridia in cattle in the West Siberian region and the development of a test system for their rapid identification
Project leader: Aleksey Vasilyevich Nephedchenko, Doctor of Science in Veterinary Medicine
Expected project results
1. For the first time, a test system for rapid identification and differentiation of pathogenic clostridia species will be developed
2. The frequency of detection of pathogenic and non-pathogenic clostridia species in different livestock farms of the West Siberian region was studied and the dependence of the species composition of clostridia on the age, method of keeping, economic use and animal productivity was estimated.
3. The frequency of genes responsible for the production of toxins and pathogenicity factors in different clostridia species was studied.
4. For the first time, clostridia species will be sequenced from 16 RNA isolated from the organs of sick animals. The results of our research will be of great scientific and practical importance for domestic science and the development of animal husbandry in our country.
PROJECT
Genetic variability and diversity of bovine pestiviruses, the main risks of introducing new genetic variants into the territory of the Russian Federation
Project leader: Alexander Gavrilovich Glotov, Doctor of Science in Veterinary Medicine
Expected project results
As part of the project new factual data will be obtained on the contamination of vaccine preparations, embryonic sera by pestiviruses of different genetic groups, as well as their distribution in livestock farms and features of clinical manifestations of the disease; the relationship of the severity of the course and manifestations of the disease with the number and concentration of livestock, and animal productivity will be studied; the dynamics of distribution of pestivirus genetic options among different animal age groups will be estimated; analysis of the virus mutations will be performed. The data obtained will make it possible in the future to predict outbreaks of diseases caused by pestiviruses, to select effective vaccines, and to study pathways for the spread of pathogens.
PROJECT
Search for biological plant protection agents from representatives of the hemipterofauna (Heteroptera) of Western Siberia
Project leader: Elena Igorevna Shatalova, Doctor of Science in Biology
Expected project results
We plan to study a number of hemipterofauna species as promising agents of biological plant protection in the families Nabidae, Anthocoridae, Reduviidae, Miridae, Pentatomidae. The food requirements of predatory bugs will be established, methods of their laboratory cultivation will be developed, and for a number of species artificial nutrient media (ANM) and technological cards for mass rearing and use of promising entomophages on various agricultural crops in both indoor and outdoor areas will be prepared.
In the course of the project, key factors for the mass reproduction of new species under artificially created conditions will be identified. The experience accumulated by our group of similar studies on other groups of insects and deep knowledge of the features of technical entomology will allow us to introduce new methods for studying the mass reproduction of hemipterans. Most of the above results will be new to science, allowing them to be published in internationally ranked journals (JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY IF=2,38, Insects IF=2,7).
Colleagues, we congratulate you on your victory and wish you good luck in your work!
