Does occupational exposure to solvents and pesticides in association with glutathione S-transferase A1, M1, P1, and T1 polymorphisms increase the risk of bladder cancer? The Belgrade case-control study. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the role of the glutathione S-transferase A1, M1, P1 and T1 gene polymorphisms and potential effect modification by occupational exposure to different chemicals in Serbian bladder cancer male patients.

Widespread recombination, reassortment, and transmission of unbalanced compound viral genotypes in natural arenavirus infections. [PDF]
Arenaviruses are one of the largest families of human hemorrhagic fever viruses and are known to infect both mammals and snakes. Arenaviruses package a large (L) and small (S) genome segment in their virions.

Selection and validation of potato candidate genes for maturity corrected resistance to Phytophthora infestans based on differential expression combined with SNP association and linkage mapping. [PDF]
Late blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is one of the most important bottlenecks of potato production worldwide.

Reconsideration of S-genotype for a Japanese Pear 'Kumoi'
A Japanese pear 'Kumoi' was previously determined as S3S4 by pollination tests, but its S-genotype was reconsidered following our PCR-RFLP (S1 to S9) analyses and pollination tests. Based on its compatibility with 'Seigyoku' (S3S4), and PCR-RFLP analysis, 'Kumoi' was classified as S1S3 for the first time.

A viable mouse model of factor X deficiency provides evidence for maternal transfer of factor X. [PDF]
BackgroundActivated factor X (FXa) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease that plays a pivotal role in blood coagulation by converting prothrombin to thrombin. There are no reports of humans with complete deficiency of FX, and knockout of murine F10 is

Molecular S-genotyping of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) genetic resources [PDF]
Sweet cherries are self-incompatible, which is determined by a gametophytic self-incompatibility system (GSI). The self-incompatibility is controlled by a multi-allelic S-locus. Knowledge about the S-allele constitution of the cultivars is essential for fruit growers and breeders. Recently, molecular PCR-based methods have been developed to distinguish

The effect of sheltered load on reproduction in Solanum carolinense, a species with variable self-incompatibility [PDF]
In previous studies, we have investigated the strength of self-incompatibility (SI) in Solanum carolinense, a highly successful weed with a fully functional SI system that inhabits early successional and other disturbed habitats.
