GENETIC DIVERSITY ASSESSMENT OF SESAME CORE COLLECTION IN CHINA BY PHENOTYPE AND MOLECULAR MARKERS AND EXTRACTION OF A MINI-CORE COLLECTION

Genetic diversity assessment of sesame core collection in China by phenotype and molecular markers and extraction of a mini-core collection

Abstract Background Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the four major oil crops in China.A sesame core collection (CC) was established in China in 2000, but no complete study on its genetic diversity has been carried out at either the phenotypic or molecular level.To provide technical guidance, a theoretical basis for further collection, effecti

A framework for the design, conduct and interpretation of randomised controlled trials in the presence of treatment changes

Abstract Background When a randomised trial is subject to deviations from randomised treatment, analysis according to intention-to-treat does not estimate two important quantities: relative igora 9.5-18 treatment efficacy and effectiveness in a setting different from that in the trial.Even in trials of a predominantly pragmatic nature, there may be

Escherichia coli associated hematogenous sternoclavicular joint osteomyelitis: A rare condition with a rare causative pathogen

Escherichia coli is the most common microorganism that causes urinary pbr keg tract infections (UTIs), including acute prostatitis.However, E.coli osteomyelitis, especially ones that involve the sternoclavicular joint, are rare hematogenous complications.We present a case of an immunocompetent man who presented with symptoms of UTI and right should
