Plant Genetic Recourses. EUCARPIA 19

XIII EUCARPIA Biometrics in Plant Breeding Section Meeting

Over the last dozen or so years, population geneticists have actively been developing tests for signatures of selection using molecular data. Th ese tests fall into two broad categories. Tests of very recent (or ongoing) selection typically rely on withinand between-population data on the level of molecular polymorphisms around loci of interest. Tests for historical (i.e., over evolutionary tim...

The History of Pseudotumor Cerebri Syndrome among “Courses” and “Recourses”

The disease nowmost frequently referred to as pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS), according to the most recent diagnostic criteria,1 has been known by various names since its first clinical descriptions: pseudotumor cerebri, benign intracranial hypertension (BIH), and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).2 These terms were introduced, respectively, by Nonne,3 Foley,4 and Buchheit et al.5...

Conservation and sustainable exploitation of plant genetic rsources: International developments

Plant Genetic Resources (PGRs) are one of the most valuable natural resources of anycountry. Biotechnology through genetic engineering of plants and the creation of new plantvarieties can increase the value of these resources. Different technical and legalmechanisms such as ex situ/in situ collection of PGRs, and Intellectual Property Rights(IPRs...
