Tetraploid citrus progenies arising from FDR and SDR unreduced pollen in 4x X 2x hybridizations
Polyploid citrus arise by somatic and sexual polyploidization, and both have been used in triploid breeding programs. Sexual polyploidization is mainly achieved by first-division restitution (FDR) or second-di...

Inheritance in doubled-diploid clementine and comparative study with SDR unreduced gametes of diploid clementine
Tetraploid clementine displays mainly tetrasomic inheritance. Genetic structures of 2n SDR and 2 × gametes from DD clementine are complementary and will guides triploids citrus breedin...

Semiautomatic, High-Throughput, High-Resolution Protocol for Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Single Particles in Electron Microscopy
In this chapter we describe the steps needed for reconstructing the three-dimensional structure of a macromolecular complex starting from its projections collected in electron micrographs. The concepts are sho...

Extensive citrus triploid hybrid production by 2x × 4x sexual hybridizations and parent-effect on the length of the juvenile phase
The citrus fresh market demands the production of seedless citrus fruits, as seedy fruits are not accepted by consumers. The recovery of triploid plants has proven to be the most promising approach to achieve ...

Multilocus half-tetrad analysis and centromere map** in citrus: evidence of SDR mechanism for 2n megagametophyte production and partial chiasma interference in mandarin cv ‘Fortune’
The genetic structure of 2n gametes and, particularly, the parental heterozygosity restitution at each locus depends on the meiotic process by which they originated, with first-division restitution and second-div...

Recovery of citrus triploid hybrids by embryo rescue and flow cytometry from 2x × 2x sexual hybridisation and its application to extensive breeding programs
Seedlessness is one of the most important characteristics for mandarins for the fresh-fruit market and mandarin triploid hybrids have this trait. Citrus triploid plants can be recovered by 2x × 2x sexual hybri...

Lipoxin A4 impairment of apoptotic signaling in macrophages: implication of the PI3K/Akt and the ERK/Nrf-2 defense pathways
Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is an endogenous lipid mediator that requires transcellular metabolic traffic for its synthesis. The targets of LXA4 on neutrophils are well described, contributing to attenuation of inflammatio...

Knee arthrodesis with the Wichita fusion nail
We reviewed 32 patients who all had knee arthrodesis performed after failed knee replacement. The minimum clinical follow-up was 1 year. The arthrodesis was performed by means of the Wichita fusion nail in 11,...

A comparative study of trochanteric fractures treated with the Gamma nail or the proximal femoral nail
The aim of the present paper is to compare the results obtained using two osteosynthesis systems developed for the surgical treatment of fractures of the trochanteric region of the femur, based on the princip...

Comparison of two different posterior approachs for hemiarthroplasty of the hip
A prospective study was undertaken on 183 patients who had suffered a femoral neck fracture between 1998 and 1999. The aim was to compare the complication rates for the classical posterior approach and the mo...

Hydatidosis of the pelvis and hip
We report eight cases of osseous hydatidosis involving the pelvis and hip. All patients were treated by curettage and albendazole therapy. In three cases, in which only the ilium was involved, the outcome was...

Sequential release of both basic and acidic isoperoxidases to the media of suspension cultured cells of Capsicum annuum
The establishment of suspension cell cultures from trimmed cotyledons of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) provides a new experimental system for studying the relationship between release of peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) in...
