A High Oleate Peanut Variety 'K-Ol'

Partial Dominance , Pleiotropism , and Epistasis in the Inheritance of the High - Oleate Trait in Peanut

Earlier reports of the high-oleate (low-linoleate) trait in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) indicated that it was controlled by completely dominant gene action. However, linoleate content intermediate to that in lowand normal-linoleate seeds was found among progeny when the trait was backcrossed into five virginia-type cultivars, suggesting partial dominance of the gene controlling the trait. Alth...

Identification of a novel mutation in FAD2B from a peanut EMS mutant with elevated oleate content.

A Virginia type peanut mutant with more than 60% oleate content (E2-4-83-12) was selected from an EMS mutagenized population of LF2 (an export type peanut cultivar with 44.2% oleate) by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Cloning and sequencing of FAD2B from LF2 and E2-4-83-12 identified a novel mutation (C313T in the coding region) causing an H105Y substitution in the first histidine box o...

Production of strongly bound 39K bright solitons

39K Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable interactions.

We produce a Bose-Einstein condensate of 39K atoms. Condensation of this species with a naturally small and negative scattering length is achieved by a combination of sympathetic cooling with 87Rb and direct evaporation, exploiting the magnetic tuning of both inter- and intraspecies interactions at Feshbach resonances. We explore the tunability of the self-interactions by studying the expansion...

Early Peanut Introduction and Prevention of Peanut Allergy in High-Risk Infants: Consensus Communication.

A collection of Practice Guidelines published in AFP is available at http:// www.aafp.org/afp/ practguide. In westernized countries, 1% to 3% of children have a peanut allergy, with almost 100,000 new cases each year in the United States and United Kingdom. This consensus communication focuses on new data that support introducing peanuts early in infants, and it aims to assist with decisions ab...
