3D MOLECULAR CYTOLOGY OF HOP (HUMULUS LUPULUS) MEIOTIC CHROMOSOMES REVEALS NON-DISOMIC PAIRING AND SEGREGATION, ANEUPLOIDY, AND GENOMIC STRUCTURAL VARIATION

Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is an important crop worldwide, known as the main flavoring ingredient in beer.The diversifying brewing industry demands variation in flavors, superior process properties, and sustainable agronomics, which are the focus of advanced molecular breeding efforts in hops.Hop breeders have been limited in their ability to create

An 82-year-old man was admitted to the emergency room with an acute left-sided groin pain and scrotal swelling.He has suffered from a groin hernia for two years.Abdominal x-ray demonstrated air-fluid levels in the left upper quadrant suggesting an intestinal obstruction (Figure 1).Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan was obtained with an initial

We report on a partial skeleton of sperm whale (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Physeteroidea) from the Pietra leccese, a Miocene limestone widely exposed in the Salento Peninsula (southern Italy).This specimen was found in Tortonian strata cropping out at the Cisterna quarry, not far from the holotype of the stem physeteroid Zygophyster varolai.The presence
