    Notes: Asian cultivated rice was domesticated from the wild rice, Oryza rufipogon and throughout the domestication process, a wide range of morphological and physiological changes altered the ancestral form. This study was conducted to identify the genetic basis of changes associated with the domestication process. An recombinant Inbred line (RIL) population consisting of 120 lines was developed from a cross between the Juponica cultivar.‘Hwayeongbyeo’and a presumed wild progenitor. O. rufipogon Griff. Acc.01944. The population was genotyped with 124 simple sequence length repeat (SSR) markers, providing an average interval size of 15 cM, and also evaluated for 20 traits related to domestication and agricultural performance. A total of 63 quantitative trait locus (QTLs) and one locus associated with qualitative variation for pericarp coloration were identified using single point and composite interval analysis. The number of QTLs per trait ranged from one to seven. Phenotypic variation associated with each QTL ranged from 3.7 to 40.4%. with an average of 15.3%. The results indicated that most domestication-related traits clustered in chromosomal blocks, and the positions of many of these clusters were consistent with those reported in previous studies and with skewed segregation ratios in these BC1,F7 RILs. For 13 (20.6%) of the QTLs identified in this study. the O. rufipogan -derived allele contributed a desirable agronomic effect despite the overall undesirable characteristics of the wild phenotype. Favourable alleles from O. rufipogan were detected for panicle length, spikelets per panicle, days to heading and leaf discoloration associated with cold stress. When compared with previous studies involving interspecific crosses, it can be concluded that O. rufipogon is useful as a source of valuable alleles for rice improvement and that many of the introgressed regions contain genes that have a favourable impact on phenotype in different genetic backgrounds and different environments.

    Factitious panniculitis masquerading as pyoderma gangrenosum (2005)

    Notes: We report a case of factitious panniculitis masquerading as florid pyoderma gangrenosum in a 35-year-old woman. At presentation, she had tender, ecchymotic plaques over the lower trunk and limbs, and several biopsies showed active lobular panniculitis. However, the extensive ulceration that ensued was clinically persuasive for pyoderma gangrenosum. We elected to treat the inflammatory element symptomatically with a range of topical and systemic medications including clobetasol propionate, tacrolimus 0.1% ointment, prednisolone, dapsone, cyclosporin A and mycophenolate mofetil, none of which effected an improvement. The possibility of a factitious aetiology had been suspected from the outset, and when signs of clinical depression emerged, antidepressant therapy was initiated and the ulcers were encased in fibreglass casts. Within a short period, healing commenced and slowly progressed with scar formation. In retrospect, we consider the diagnosis to have been factitious panniculitis on the basis of strong circumstantial evidence and the disparity between the histological and clinical features.

    The Presence of Megamitochondria in the Ellipsoid of Photoreceptor Inner Segment of the Zebrafish Retina (2005)

    Notes: Although the megamitochondria (MM) were localized in various pathological conditions, normal retina of some mammalian species was reported to include MM for various physiological roles. However, it was not clearly confirmed whether the MM is present in the retina of lower vertebrate as well. In this study, we tried to show the presence of the MM in the zebrafish retina using electron microscopic technique. In all the photoreceptors including rods, cones and double cones of the zebrafish retina, MM were observed in the ellipsoid of inner segment. In the photoreceptor epllipsoid of the zebrafish retina, the mitochondria located in the central portion of the ellipsoid had a highly electron-dense matrix, which were accompanied by the mitochondria with electron-lucent matrix in the apical portion of the ellipsoid. The presence of MM was more clearly discernable in the rods, which were localized under the double cones. This finding is somewhat different from those observed in the previous studies because MM were localized in the inner segment of cones, but were not in those of rods in the case of mammalian retina. Although the exact physiological meaning for the presence of MM in some vertebrate species should be further studied, the present study could show that the MM in the ellipsoid of the retinal photoreceptors was not only restricted in some mammalian species.
