Cell nucleus activity during post-embryonic development of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera:Apidae). Intranuclear acid phosphatase
Authors: Carminda da Cruz Landim, Rejane Daniele Reginato, Regina Lucia Morelli Silva de Moraes and Vagner Melo Cavalcante
We report nuclear acid phosphatase activity in the somatic (intra-ovariolar and stromatic) and germ cells of differentiating honey bee worker ovaries, as well as in the midgut cells of metamorphosing bees. There was heterogeneity in the intensity and distribution of electron dense deposits of lead phosphate, indicative of acid.. Read More»

Inheritance of acylsugar contents in tomatoes derived from an interspecific cross with the wild tomato Lycopersicon pennellii and their effect on spider mite repellence
Authors: Juliano T.V. Resende, Wilson Roberto Maluf,Maria das Gra�§as Cardoso, David L. Nelson and Marcos Ventura Faria
Acylsugars present in Lycopersicon pennellii are responsible for the high levels of pest resistance often found in this wild tomato taxon. We investigated the inheritance of acylsugar contents in segregating populations of the interspecific tomato cross L. esculentum x L. pennellii and estimated correlations between leaflet ac..

Identification and characterization of polymorphisms at the HSA �±1-acid glycoprotein (ORM*) gene locus in Caucasians
Authors: Catherine M. Owczarek, Aleksander L. Owczarek andPhilip G. Board
Human α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) or orosomucoid (ORM) is a major acute phase protein that is thought to play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis. Human AGP is the product of a cluster of at least two adjacent genes located on HSA chromosome 9. Using a range of restriction endonucleases we have investigated DNA vari.. Read More»

Estimates of heritability in a blanched asparagus population
Authors: Vanina Cravero, Enrique Cointry, Ileana Gatti and Fernando L�³pez Anido
To estimate the heritability values of characters frequently used as selective criteria, 32 half-sib families obtained from selected plants of three populations of the asparagus variety Argenteüil were evaluated in a randomized complete block design. The following characters were measured: days to emergence of the first s.. Read More»
