| recombinations in individuals homozygous by descent localize the friedreich ataxia locus in a cloned 450-kb interval. | the locus for friedreich ataxia (frda), a severe neurodegenerative disease, is tightly linked to markers d9s5 and d9s15, and analysis of rare recombination events has suggested the order cen-frda-d9s5-d9s15-qter. we report here the construction of a yac contig extending 800 kb centromeric to d9s5 and the isolation of five new microsatellite markers from this region. in order to map these markers with respect to the frda locus, all within a 1-cm confidence interval, we sought to increase the gene ... | 1994 | 8198128 |
| influence of adding borax and modifying ph on effectiveness of food attractants for melon fly (diptera: tephritidae). | the melon fly, bactrocera cucurbitae (coquillett) (diptera: tephritidae), is the most damaging pest of cucurbits in reunion island. the influence of adding borax and modifying ph on the effectiveness of different food attractants for both sexes of the melon fly is analyzed by a release-recapture method in field cages. adding borax to protein hydrolysates nulure and buminal strongly reduced their attractiveness for b. cucurbitae. acidification of 5% buminal solution (from ph 6 to ph 3) doubled it ... | 2004 | 15279302 |
