Then, the correlations between LDBT and other agronomic traits of rice were analyzed. Two QTLs con- trolling LDBT were mapped on chromosome 6 and 8, respectively, qLDBT6 was mapped between RM3 and RM3628 markers on chromosome 6 with a LOD value of 3.23, contribution rate of 6.18% and additive effect of 17.74%. qLDBT8 was mapped between RM1376-RM4085 markers on chromosome 8 with a LOD value 2.95, contribution rate of 8.00% and additive effect of 20.09%. This domain probably had a relationship with the sterility of rice. The LDBT of RILs had extremely signifi- cant positive correlations with flag leaf width, 1 000-grain weight, grain width, grain length and grain thickness, but no significant correlations with other agronomic traits, such as plant height, heading date, tiller number, flag leaf length, average and the maximum temperature during heading period or rice.展开更多

Methods: Ovarian theca and granulosa cells from eleven normal wo men and eight PCOS patients were co-cultured on opposite side of collagen with or without INS. The concentrations of estradiol(E2), progesterone(P) and andro stenedione (A) in the culture medium were examined by ELISA method.Results: When co-cultured with GC, TC in PCOS group produced mo re A and less P than those of normal group. When co-cultured with theca cells, granulosa cells in PCOS group produced more E2 than those of normal group. Add ition of INS increased the difference significantly.Conclusions: The GC and TC interaction from the normal and PCOS ovaries is different. There is a high A and high E2 intraovary loop of PC OS leading to premature arrest of follicle growth and anovulation. Insulin may p lay an important regulatory role.展开更多
