The basic theme of this paper is to explore connections between places of function fields over a base field F of characteristic zero and birational morphisms between smooth F -varieties. This is done by considering various localised categories involving function fields or varieties as objects, and constructing functors between these categories. The main result is that in the localised category ...

This study focuses on the prosodic phrasing and intonation of utterances with parentheticals and topics in two previously unstudied varieties of European Portuguese (EP) Porto and Évora. Our findings are compared to previous descriptions for the standard variety (SEP), and two Central-Southern varieties. The results indicate that there is no variation in EP in the prosodic phrasing of these utt...

Eighteen varieties of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) with different productive attitude (oil, fiber and intermediate) were analyzed for total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity. The TPC ranged from 4.64 to 9.40 mg caffeic acid equivalents (CAE) g-1 dry weight of linseed. TPC were statistically different among productive attitude groups and increasing in this order: oil varieties → i...

Genomic DNA isolated from zygotic embryos (seeds) of 7 chilli pepper varieties, namely Capsicum annuum L., California wonder, Yolo wonder, G-5, Pusa sadabahar, Pusa jyothi and LCA-335 and Capsicum chinense Jacq. variety Kotpar, was PCR-amplified using Pun1 allele specific primer MAP1. A DNA band admeasuring 479 bp was observed in C annuum L., varieties California wonder and Yolo wonder, while a...

In this study nine new varieties of sunflower seeds were obtained and subjected to oil extraction using soxhlet apparatus. The extracted oil was analyzed for fatty acid composition and phosphorus content to measure the phospholipid concentration. The results indicated that Armavirski variety had the highest oil content. The fatty acid composition of the extracted oils indicated that Armavirski ...

In Gentiana lutea two varieties are described: G. lutea var. aurantiaca with orange corolla colors and G. lutea var. lutea with yellow corolla colors. Both color varieties co-occur in NW Spain, and pollinators select flower color in this species. It is not known whether a hybridization barrier exists between these G. lutea color varieties. We aim to test the compatibility between flower color v...

The objective of the present study was to make use of efficient molecular marker systems to reveal genetic relationships in traditional and evolved Basmati (EB) and semidwarf non-Basmati (NB) rice varieties. A subset of three rice groups was analyzed by using 19 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci and 12 inter-SSR-PCR primers. A total of 70 SSR alleles and 481 inter-SSR-PCR markers were revealed ...
