The net effect of pollen production on fecundity in plants can range from negative--when self-pollen interferes with fecundity due to incompatibility mechanisms, to positive--when pollen availability is associated with increased pollinator visitation and fecundity due to its utilization as a reward. We investigated the responses of bees to pollen and nectar rewards, and the effects of these rew...

A combined ischiopubic rami resection is extremely rare in the field of gastroenterologic surgery. We report a case of a locally recurrent rectal cancer that was successfully treated by total pelvic exenteration with combined ischiopubic rami resection. A 58-year-old male with locally recurrent rectal cancer and liver metastases was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography and magnetic res...

InDel (insertion deletion length polymorphism) markers is designed for PCR detection based on the Insertion or of DNA fragments different sizes according to sequence a locus between individuals related species, which more and applied in crop genetic research due its rich polymorphism, operational simplicity reliability results. In this study, Qinyou 88 parents were analyzed through marker, four...

Abstract Background The utilization of heterosis has greatly improved the productivity cotton worldwide. However, a major constraint for large-scale promotion F 1 hybrid is artificial emasculation and pollination. This study proposed potential 2 hybrids to improve upland production through comparative evaluation generations. Results Eight varieties were analyzed crosses made according NCII inco...

Somaclonal variation, aneuploidy, and genotypic specificity are major limitations of anther culture and bread wheat x Hordeum bulbosum crosses for producing haploids (n=3x=21, ABD). Sexual combinations of wheat x Zea mays have since emerged as an alternate and significant procedure as wheat genotypic specificity does not exist. This procedure has been refined and simplified over the last decade...

Self-mutilation of genitalia is an extremely rare entity, usually found in psychotic patients. Klingsor syndrome is a condition in which such an act is based upon religious delusions. The extent of genital mutilation can vary from superficial cuts to partial or total amputation of penis to total emasculation. The management of these patients is challenging. The aim of the treatment is restorati...

War disability occupies a prominent space within the small but rapidly blossoming field of history. The experience maiming in war can contribute to specific form identity construction amongst disabled veterans, who have often been viewed separately from other groups. For wounded men returning home war, it was psychologically utmost importance be proud their service homeland, or case civil wars,...

Male sterility caused by stamen petalody is a key factor for low fruit set rate and yield of Camellia oleifera but can serve as useful genetic tool because it eliminates the need artificial emasculation. However, its molecular regulation mechanism still remains unclear. In this study, transcriptome was sequenced analyzed on two types bud materials, mutants normal at six stages development based...
