Abstract

An original method was developed for isolation of small regulatory RNAs (si/miRNAs) from plant cells. PCR-amplification was carried out for the cDNA fragment of the nematode Heterodera schachtii 8H07 gene. Northern-blot hybridization of plant si/miRNAs with the cDNA fragment of the conserved region from the nematode’s 8H07 gene confirmed the high degree of their homology. In the future, the amplified cDNA fragment of the nematode 8H07 gene will be used for creating a recombinant gene with an antisense dsRNA sequence for increasing the resistance of rape plants to parasitic nematodes.
