Nine diploid cultivars of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lain.) from France (Fortyl, Vertyl and Jericho), Germany (Ligrande), United Kingdom (Aber Epic and Aber Mario), Denmark (Cordelia), Netherlands ...Nine diploid cultivars of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lain.) from France (Fortyl, Vertyl and Jericho), Germany (Ligrande), United Kingdom (Aber Epic and Aber Mario), Denmark (Cordelia), Netherlands (Alamo) and Poland (Tur) were tested with horizontal gel electrophoresis according to one locus (with four alleles) of the PGI enzyme system. One of them, named P4 is typical for the species, therefore can serve as a good marker for hybrids identification. Each cultivar was characterized by frequencies of different phenotypes. They were highly polymorphic (Pg = 0.58 - 0.78) and showed differences in heterozygosity level. The variability within populations (GST = 0.055) was higher than among populations (DST = 0.032).展开更多

METHODSThis case control study examined the associations between MAFK single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs4268033 G>A, rs3735656 T>C and rs10226620 C>T) and ulcerative colitis susceptibility in 174 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) cases, and 748 subjects without no lower abdominal symptoms, diarrhea or hematochezia (controls). In addition, as the second controls, we set 360 subjects, who have an irregular bowel movement without abnormal lower endoscopic findings (IBM controls). RESULTSThe genotype frequency of rs4268033 AA and allelic frequency of the rs4268033A allele were significantly higher in the UC cases than in both controls (P = 0.0005 and < 0.0001, P = 0.015 and 0.0027 vs controls and IBM controls, respectively). Logistic regression analysis after adjustment for age and gender showed that the rs4268033 AA and rs3735656 CC genotypes were significantly associated with susceptibility to UC development (OR = 2.63, 95%CI: 1.61-4.30, P = 0.0001 and OR = 1.81; 95%CI: 1.12-2.94, P = 0.015, respectively). Similar findings were observed by the comparison with IBM controls. In addition, the rs4268033 AA genotype was significantly associated with all phenotypes of UC except early onset. There was no significant association between rs10226620 and ulcerative colitis. CONCLUSIONOur results provide the first evidence that MAFK genetic polymorphisms are significantly associated with susceptibility to UC development. In particular, rs4268033 is closely associated with an increased risk for the development of UC.展开更多
