In situ hybridization experiments were carried out to detect avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd) in foliar tissue of avocado, using a digoxigenin-labelled RNA probe complementary to the ASBVd-RNA in sect...
Dietary lipids are hypothesized to be an important factor for carotenoid bioavailability. However, most carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables are low in lipids. The objective of this study was to asse...
The efficacies of four systemic neonicotinoid insecticides applied to potted avocado trees at manufacturer-recommended rates were assessed against the avocado thrips, Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara. At...
Twenty-five microsatellite markers uniquely differentiated 35 avocado cultivars and two wild relatives. Average heterozygosity was high (60.7%), ranging from 32% in P. steyermarkii to 84% in Fuerte an...
Analysis by molecular hybridization of the RNAs transcribed by a cell-free fraction from avocado infected with avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBV) demonstrated the presence of newly synthesized viroid-spe...

The avocado (Av) is a fruit that belongs to the Lauraceae family. We report 17 patients with immediate hypersensitivity to avocado. Clinical manifestations in relation to avocado ingestion were as fol...
EDITOR'S NOTE Journals teach and stimulate in many ways. They present new information. They raise questions. They emphasize. They also may affect patient care by affecting physicians' feelings. This p...
