Genetic Analysis and Fine Mapping of a Spontaneously Mutated Male Sterility Gene in ssp. .

Male sterility has been widely used in hybrid seed production in Brassica, but not in ssp. , and genetic models of male sterility for this subspecies are unclear. We discovered a spontaneous mutant in ssp.

Development of STS and CAPS markers for variety identification and genetic diversity analysis of tea germplasm in Taiwan.

Background: Tea (Camellia sinensis) is an important economic crop in Taiwan. Particularly, two major commercial types of tea (Paochong tea and Oolong tea) which are produced in Taiwan are famous around the world, and they must be manufactured with specific cultivars. Nevertheless, many elite cultivars have been illegally introduced to foreign countries.

Identification of candidate genes underlying an iron efficiency quantitative trait locus in soybean.

Prevalent on calcareous soils in the United States and abroad, iron deficiency is among the most common and severe nutritional stresses in plants. In soybean (Glycine max) commercial plantings, the identification and use of iron-efficient genotypes has proven to be the best form of managing this soil-related plant stress. Previous studies conducted in soybean identified a significant iron efficiency quantitative trait locus (QTL) explaining more than 70% of the phenotypic variation for the trait.

[The vola stress change of patients after operation of wrop-around flap for thumb reconstruction].

Objective: To analyse the vola stress change after operation of wrop-around flap for thumb reconstruction,to know the influence of vola pressure change after operation of wrop-around flap.

Methods: From 1996 to 2004, 23 patients after the operation of wrop-around flap for thumb reconstruction were measured the entire footprint, the vola stress of single foot and double feet on static state and walking status. There were 16 males and 7 females,with a mean age of 23.
