چکیده
Fertility restoration of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] lines carrying the IS1112C (A3 group) male-sterile cytoplasm has been documented as a two-gene gametophytic mechanism involving complementary action of restoring alleles designated Rf3 and Rf4, as derived from IS1112C. Fertility restoration capability has also been reported from sudangrass (S. bicolor subsp. drummondii) populations. We describe characteristics of a fertility restoration system derived from sudangrass, in which male-sterile individuals were observed at high frequency in backcross and F2-F3 segregating populations. Segregation analyses were consistent with a sporophytic restoration system involving two complementary genes. Pollen iodine staining in fertile progeny indicated that the restorers were not effi cacious, and fertility was decreased in progeny of backcrosses. Silencing of restoring alleles through paramutation might be operative in these examples. Sudangrass-derived fertility restoration did not involve enhanced transcript processing of the chimeric mitochondrial open reading frame orf107. Thus male sterility induced by the A3 cytoplasm can be restored through different mechanisms. H.V. Tang and D.R.

A highly sensitive thrombin generation assay for assessment of recombinant activated factor VII therapy in haemophilia patients with an inhibitor.
Bypass agents are the common treatment for haemophilia patients who develop inhibitory antibodies. Laboratory assessment of the efficacy of bypassing agent therapy is a challenge. In the present work we modified the conditions triggering thrombin generation (TG) assay in order to find the most sensitive assay for detection of rFVIIa and its analogue NN1731 in haemophilic plasma. TG was measured...
متن کاملMultilayered HIV-1 gag-specific T-cell responses contribute to slow progression in HLA-A∗30-B∗13-C∗06-positive patients
OBJECTIVE The HLA-A30-B13-C06 haplotype is reported to be associated with slow disease progression in the HIV-1-infected Northern Han Chinese population, but the mechanism remains unknown. DESIGN Gag-specific T-cell responses and gag sequencing were performed in nine B' clade HIV-1-infected HLA-A30-B13-C06-positive slow progressors to understand HLA-associated viral control. METHODS Interfe...
متن کاملOncogenic Ras signals through activation of both phosphoinositide 3-kinase and Rac1 to induce c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase-mediated, caspase-independent cell death.
Cells avert the development of malignancy in response to deregulated oncogene expression by activating a regulated cell death pathway. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this oncogene-induced cellular death process remains unclear. Here, we show that retroviral expression of oncogenic H-ras induced cell death in a caspase-independent manner in normal cells. Inhibition of c-Jun NH2-term...

The antinociceptive pharmacology of N-[[4-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenyl]methyl]-2-[2-[[(4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl) sulfonyl]methylamino]ethoxy]-N-methylacetamide fumarate (LF22-0542), a novel nonpeptidic B1 antagonist, was characterized. LF22-0542 showed high affinity for human and mouse B1 receptors with virtually no affinity for the human B2 receptor; a selectivity index of at least...
