Improvement of quality protein maize (QPM) along with high content of lysine and tryptophan had foremost importance in maize breeding program. The efficient and easiest way of developing QPM hybrids was by backcross breeding in marker aided selection. Hence, the present investigation aimed at conversion of elite maize inbred line BML-7 into QPM line. CML-186 was identified to be a donor variety...

An opaque mutation was identified that reduces gamma-zein synthesis in maize endosperm. The mutation, opaque-15, causes a 2- to 3-fold reduction in gamma-zein mRNA and protein synthesis and reduces the proportion of the 27-kDa gamma-zein A gene transcript. Although the protein bodies in opaque-15 are similar in size and morphology compared to wild type, there are fewer of them in developing end...

Gossypiboma is very rare in clinical practice. Despite its clinical importance, it carries some medico legal implications. We report a case of gossypiboma in a 54 years old female who presented with pain and a slowly growing lump in the abdomen 7 years after open cholecystectomy. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed a mass with enhanced internal septae and a radio-opaque marker w...

Tumor-associated gastroparesis, though reported in association with various malignancies, is rare in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. We report a 55-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia and recurrent vomiting. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed dilated stomach and excess residue without organic obstruction. 99mTc sulfur colloid solid gastric emptying study, radio-opaque marker gut tran...
