Bloom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which is characterized by telangiectasia and erythema in the butterfly area of the face, dwarfism and photosensitivity. The case presented herein is a 22-year-old man who referred with facial erythema and telangiectasia (Resembling lupus erythematosus). The skin lesions were exacerbating during summer. Other clinical findings were p...

Abstract 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) has been widely reported as a key contributor to the popcorn-like aroma of fragrant rice (Oryza sativa). To gain greater understanding its contribution in both and non-fragrant rice, sensory profiling was conducted with trained panel examine properties six boiled samples, three varieties. The intensity popcorn note an orthonasal odour, retronasal flavour aft...

Popcorn consumption in Brazil has grown significantly over the years, and genetic improvement is essential to obtain sustainable gains multiple traits supply this increasing demand. Thus, objective of review was contribute information concerning process popcorn breeding tropical regions, germplasm availability, plans, main characteristics related quality yield, advances perspectives improvement...

this experiment was conducted to consider the effects of maturity and cutting time on chemical composition and available protein content of alfalfa hay for dairy cows.. alfalfa hay harvested at two maturity stages (pre-bloom and early bloom) and two cutting times (morning and afternoon). available protein was predicted using nrc (2001) and dve/oeb (1994) models. in the nrc model (2001), alfalfa...

the present research designed to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (meja), salicylic acid (sa) and potassium sulfate on improving fruit quality and photosynthesis system. ten treatments include: sa (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mm), meja (0.5, 1 and 2 mm), potassium sulfate (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) and distilled water (control) were sprayed on pomegranate trees 2 and 7 weeks after ful...

The purpose of the online resource presented here, POPcorn (Project Portal for corn), is to enhance accessibility of maize genetic and genomic resources for plant biologists. Currently, many online locations are difficult to find, some are best searched independently, and individual project websites often degrade over time-sometimes disappearing entirely. The POPcorn site makes available (1) a ...

After diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) was shown to cause bronchiolitis obliterans in workers who inhaled high levels of this volatile butter flavoring at microwave popcorn processing plants, 1,2,3 some manufacturers switched to a substitute assumed to be safer. Recent rodent studies, however, suggest that the substitute, 2,3-pentanedione, may be as damaging to the respiratory tract as the diacetyl i...

With the aim of estimating genetic parameters and identifying superior popcorn combinations, 10 parents were crossed in a circulant diallel and evaluated together with the 15 resulting hybrids at two locations in two growing seasons for grain yield, number of broken plants, number of partially husked ears and popping expansion. The hybrids were less sensitive to environmental variations than th...

We analyzed genetic structure and diversity among eight populations of popcorn, using SSR loci as genetic markers. Our objectives were to select SSR loci that could be used to estimate genetic diversity within popcorn populations, and to analyze the genetic structure of promising populations with high levels of heterozygosity that could be used in breeding programs. Fifty-seven alleles (3....
