| 1 | Inheritance and allelism of morphological traits in eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis L.)显示文摘Inheritance of purple,gold,and variegated foliage types,weeping architecture,and double flower was explored in F1,F2,and backcross families resulting from controlled hybridization of eastern redbud(Cercis canadensis L.).Potential allelic relationships were explored when possible.Inheritance analysis in families derived from controlled hybridization of‘Covey’(green leaf)and‘Forest Pansy’(purple leaf)suggest that purple leaf color and weeping architecture are both controlled by single recessive genes,for which the symbols pl1 and wp1 are proposed,respectively.Inheritance of gold leaf was explored in families of‘Covey’(green leaf)בHearts of Gold’(gold leaf).Interpretation of inheritance of gold leaf in these families was confounded by the recovery of a leaf color phenotype in the F2 family unlike either parent.However,data suggested the action of a single locus controlling gold leaf color in‘Hearts of Gold’,and that instability of gold leaf expression may be based on transposable element activity.Segregation of gold leaf in the F2 families of‘Texas White’[green leaf(C.canadensis var.texensis)]בJN2’[gold leaf(The Rising Sun)]did not fit a Mendelian ratio.Analysis of progeny of‘Silver Cloud’and‘Floating Clouds’(both showing white/green leaf variegation)with non-variegated cultivars demonstrated that variegation in‘Silver Cloud’is controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene,while variegation in‘Floating Clouds’is controlled by cytoplasmic factors.The symbol var1 is proposed for the gene controlling variegation in‘Silver Cloud’.Double flower in progeny derived from‘Flame’(double flower)suggested that double flower is dominant to single flower,and that‘Flame’is heterozygous at the double-flower locus,for which the symbol Df1 is proposed.Allelism studies showed that the gene controlling purple leaf in‘Forest Pansy’is allelic to the purple leaf gene in‘Greswan’and that the gene controlling weeping phenotype in‘Traveller’(C.canadensis var.texensis)is non-allelic to the weeping gene found in‘Covey’.Allelism of the gold leaf trait in‘Hearts of Gold’and‘JN2’was investigated,but no clear conclusions regarding allelism could be made due to recovery of leaf color phenotypes unlike either parent. | David J.Roberts Dennis J.Werner Phillip A.Wadl Robert N.Trigiano | 2015 | Horticulture Research2015,2,1: | 3 |
| 3 | The risk of prostate cancer on incidental finding of an avid prostate uptake on 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for non-prostate cancer-related pathology:A single centre retrospective study显示文摘Objective:To review the risk of prostate cancer(PCa)in men with incidentally reported increased intraprostatic uptake at 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(18F-FDG PET/CT)ordered at Department of Urology,The Wesley Hospital,Brisbane,QLD,Australia for non-PCa related pathology.Methods:Retrospective analysis of consecutive men between August 2014 and August 2019 presenting to a single institution for 18F-FDG PET/CT for non-prostate related conditions was conducted.Men were classified as benign,indeterminate,or malignant depending of the results of prostate-specific antigen(PSA),PSA velocity,biopsy histopathology,and three-Tesla(3 T)multiparametric MRI(mpMRI)Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score,or gallium-68-prostate-specific membrane antigen(68Ga-PSMA)PET/CT results.Results:Three percent(273/9122)of men demonstrated 18F-FDG avidity within the prostate.Eighty-five percent(231/273)were further investigated,including with PSA tests(227/231,98.3%),3 T mpMRI(68/231,29.4%),68Ga-PSMA PET/CT(33/231,14.3%),and prostate biopsy(57/231,24.7%).Results were considered benign in 130/231(56.3%),indeterminate in 31/231(13.4%),and malignant in 70/231(30.3%).PCa was identified in 51/57(89.5%)of the men who proceeded to biopsy,including 26/27(96.3%)men with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System scores 4-5 mpMRI and six men with a positive 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT.The most common Gleason score on biopsy was greater than or equal to 4+5(14/51,27.5%).68Ga-PSMA PET/CT was concordant with the 18F-FDG findings in 26/33(78.8%).All 13 men with a positive concordant 18F-FDG,3 T mpMRI,and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT had PCa on biopsy.There was no statistically significant difference in the 18F-FDG maximum standardized uptake value between the benign or malignant groups(5.7 vs.6.1;p=0.580).Conclusion:In this study,after an incidental finding of an avid intraprostatic lesion on 18F-FDG PET/CT,70 of the 231 cases(30.3%;0.8%of the entire cohort)had results consistent with PCa,most commonly as Gleason score greater than or equal to 4+5 disease.Unless there is limited life expectancy due to competing medical co-morbidity,men with an incidental finding of intraprostatic uptake on 18F-FDG should be further investigated using principles of PCa detection. | Anthony Franklin Troy Gianduzzo Boon Kua David Wong Louise McEwan James Walters Rachel Esler Matthew J.Roberts Geoff Coughlina John W.Yaxley | 2024 | Asian Journal of Urology2024,11,1: | 0 |
