Analysis of the barley chromosome 2 region containing the six-rowed spike gene vrs1 reveals a breakdown of rice–barley micro collinearity by a transposition
In cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare), six-rowed spikes produce three times as many seeds per spike as do two-rowed spikes. The determinant of this trait is the Mendelian gen...

Portal systemic shunt through the renal vein
Despite the semi-routine use of color Doppler sonography for evaluating portal circulation abnormalities, there is a relative paucity of detailed color Doppler findings of portal systemic (P-S) shunt through t...

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spleen: report of a case and literature review
There is a marked paucity of reports on malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the spleen in the literature, and there are no previous reports of its color Doppler sonographic (US) and contrast-enhanced US fi...

Gallbladder adenoma: report of a case with emphasis on contrast-enhanced US findings
There is a marked paucity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (US) findings of gallbladder disease in the literature, and there is only one previous case of gallbladder adenoma. We report such a case. US showed a ...

Duodenal adenoma with production of massive mucus: report of a case with emphasis on US findings
Duodenal adenoma with massive mucus production is very rare. We report such a case. Ultrasonography (US) showed the presence of massive mucus, and contrast- enhanced US revealed the thickened wall to be homoge...

Malignant paraganglioma draining into the main portal vein
Abdominal paraganglioma is a relatively rare tumor, and there have been no previous reports describing its contrast-enhanced ultrasonographic findings. We report a case of a lesion of unknown origin incidental...

Inter-subspecific maps of non-brittle rachis genes btr1/btr2 using occidental, oriental and wild barley lines
Brittle rachis of wild barley is controlled by two dominant complementary genes, Btr1 and Btr2, and mutation in either locus (btr1 or btr2) results in the non-brittle rachis of cultivated barley. In this study, a...

Structural and distributional variation of mitochondrial rps2 genes in the tribe Triticeae (Poaceae)
The mitochondrial rps2 gene from barley, like that of rice, wheat, and maize, has an extended open reading frame (ORF) at the 3′-region when compared to that from lower plants. However, the extended portions are ...

High-density AFLP map of nonbrittle rachis 1 (btr1) and 2 (btr2) genes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Wild relatives of barley disperse their seeds at maturity by means of their brittle rachis. In cultivated barley, brittleness of the rachis was lost during domestication. Nonbrittle rachis of occidental barley...

Identification and map** of cleistogamy genes in barley
Cleistogamy is a closed type of flowering with ensured self-pollination and an important trait to study evolutionary development in flower organs, reproduction systems, gene flow, and disease control. Still, v...

Differentiation of exudate from transudate ascites by Doppler sonography
Background: We investigated whether the addition of Doppler sonography (US) increases the diagnostic confidence of US for estimating the nature of ascites.

Identification of QTLs controlling tissue-culture traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling callus growth (CG), subsequent shoot differentiation ratio (SD) and green shoot ratio (GS) in immature embryo culture were identified in barley. A base map was develo...

Abdominal lymphoma: differentiation from pancreatic carcinoma with Doppler US
Background: Marked lymphadenopathy around the pancreas due to lymphoma (abdominal lymphoma) occasionally can mimic a total pancreatic carcinoma on ultrasonography (US). We investigated whether US and color Doppl...

Molecular map** of the intermedium spike-c (int-c) and non-brittle rachis 1 (btr1) loci in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Lateral spikelet fertility and a non-brittle rachis are key characters in studying the evolution of barley. The fertility of lateral spikelets is controlled predominantly by the alleles at the vrs1 locus on chrom...

Accessory hepatic duct: sonographic findings
Accessory hepatic ducts are relatively rare biliary anomalies. They have been reported only sporadically, and very few reports have described their sonographic (US) findings. Our experience with two such cases...
