title: [Molecular-biological nature of morphological abnormalities induced by chronic irradiation in coniferous plants from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exclusion zone: emphasis on a possible role of the cytoskeleton].
abstract: Results of the analysis of morphological abnormalities in coniferous plants from the Chernobyl exclusion zone are described. It is shown that such features as total and individual protein content, genome organization and peculiarities of its expression, and karyotype are different for the control and morphologically abnormal needles. A possible role of the cytoskeleton structures in the abnormal morphogenesis in plants is discussed.
