Comparative Proteomics of Potato Cultivars with a Variable Dormancy Period.

The control of the duration of the dormancy phase is a significant challenge in the potato industry and for seed producers. However, the proteome landscape involved in the regulation of the length of the dormancy period over potato cultivars remains largely unexplored. In this study, we performed for the first time a comparative proteome profiling of potato cultivars with differential duration of tuber dormancy.

Inflammatory aneurysm in the infrarenal portion of thoracoabdominal aneurysms: an uncommon variant.

Introduction: We present an unusual variant of type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysm with inflammatory changes in part of the aortic wall.

Material And Methods: Between January 1990 and December 2000, 5 male patients (mean age, 68 years) with inflammatory aneurysms of 29 with type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysms (17.2%) underwent surgery.
