580 CROP SCIENCE, VOL. 47, MARCH–APRIL 2007 ABSTRACT Breeders face many complex choices in the design of effi cient crossing and selection strategies aimed at combining desired alleles into a single target genotype. Both population genetic theory and a breeding simulation tool were used to study the effects of different strategies on population size and number of marker assays required to recover a target genotype in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Enriching the frequency of desirable alleles in the F2 of single-cross and in the F1 of backcross and topcross populations greatly reduced the minimum required population size, but the gain from another enrichment selection is minor. General equations were developed to determine appropriate crossing strategies, and sequential culling was proposed to minimize total marker screening costs. For a topcross of three adapted lines from an existing breeding program, simulation of changes in allele frequencies at nine target genes (seven unlinked) showed that population size was minimized with a three-stage selection strategy in the F1 generation of the topcross (TCF1), the F2 generation of the topcross (TCF2), and doubled haploid lines (DHs). Enrichment of allelic frequencies in TCF2 reduced the total number of lines screened from >3500 to <600. Eight of the genes were present at frequencies >0.97 after selection, while the tin reduced-tillering allele was only at 0.77 in the fi nal selected population due to its strong repulsion-phase linkage to the grain quality gene Glu-A3 in this cross and the incomplete linkage of the tin marker. Therefore, the presence of the tin gene needs to be further confi rmed by other methods.

Levels of Circulating Intermediate Monocytes Decrease after Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis.
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. We have previously shown that severe AS is associated with increased levels of circulating intermediate monocytes. Haemodynamics are considered to influence levels of circulating monocyte subsets; we therefore hypothesized that aortic valve replacement may result in changes in the distribution of circulating monocyte subsets. In the ...

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 کاملModels of the Collisional Damping Scenario for Ice Giant Planets and Kuiper Belt Formation
Chiang et al. (2006, hereafter C06) have recently proposed that the observed structure of the Kuiper belt could be the result of a dynamical instability of a system of ∼5 primordial ice giant planets in the outer Solar System. According to this scenario, before the instability occurred, these giants were growing in a highly collisionally damped environment according to the arguments in Goldreic...
متن کاملDo we know enough about the immune pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes to improve clinical practice?
Morbidities related to atherosclerosis, such as acute coronary syndromes (ACS) including unstable angina and myocardial infarction, remain leading causes of mortality. Unstable plaques are inflamed and infiltrated with macrophages and T lymphocytes. Activated dendritic cells interact with T cells, yielding predominantly Th1 responses involving interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumour necrosis factor...
