Relationship between radial and concentric cracking of tomato fruit
1983
Abstract A study with 62 genotypes was carried out to establish correlations existing between the percentages of fruits showing concentric cracks of more or less than 2 cm and radial cracks of more or less than 2 cm, considering both early and total production. Over a determined productive period, the susceptibility to form large or small cracks was controlled by the same genetic system (rG = 0.89 – 0.95), yet there was a genetic difference between susceptibility to radial and concentric cracking (rG = 0.53 – 0.68). Genetic systems for susceptibility to radial and concentric cracking seemed to show similarly over the first harvesting and over the total productive period ( r G ⋍ 1 ). Environ…
Genetic systems for a new approach to risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy.
2016
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) using new strategies to obtain genetic information in type 2 diabetes (T2D) based on interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective multicentre case-control study of 132 participants was distributed into: T2D with (+DR) or without (-DR) (T2DG; n=77), and a control group (CG; n=55). After an eye examination and personal interview, tears were collected for molecular analysis (expression of microRNAs [miRNAs] (miRCURY ARN Isolation Kit, Qiagen)]. Libraries, 137 vs. 140bp (GeneMapper, Applied Biosystems), were obtained in 18 samples (T2DG+DR=6; T2DG-DR=6; CG=6) by performing next-generation sequ…
Review of studies of polymorphic blood systems in the Aymara indigenous population from Bolivia, Peru, and Chile.
1995
A review was made of all studies available from the literature referring to polymorphic blood systems of South American Aymara Indians. 33 original papers published up to 1990 covering a period of 45 years were summarized. Aymara samples were considered from a total of 55 localities in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. Gene frequencies were tabulated for 21 polymorphic genetic systems comprising blood groups (AB0, MNSs, P, Rh, Lu, K, Le, Fy, Jk, Di), erythrocyte enzyme groups (AcP, 6PGD, PGM1, AK, ADA, EsD), and plasma protein groups (Hp, Tf, Gc, Gm, Km). Weighted average and range over all Aymara samples were computed for each blood system and compared with corresponding mean value and range in So…
