The movie received many other prestigious and highly coveted awards as well. The stories, scenes, characters, dramatic episodes, and the imagination that goes with movie-making have immense impact on the viewers. A King’s Adversity I find stories of people who have overcome adversity deeply moving, and inspiring. One story of overcoming a great impediment, one that seems insurmountable, is the story of King George the VI. I’d like to briefly summarize his story because I think you’ll find his struggle with stuttering and overcoming this handicap most interesting. The story also highlights how confidence-building measures, encouraging spouses and friends, and simple therapies help overcome adversity in life. Albert – King George VI King George VI was the last Emperor of British India, and his face occupied a prominent place in coins and currency notes of British India; and it continued to be so in the period immediately after the independence of India from the British rule.

    Hollywood Chinese By Erica Marcus Published: April 10, 2008 Hollywood Chinese: A Very Queer Story An Interview with Filmmaker Arthur Dong Filmmaker Arthur Dong, who created Coming Out Under Fire, Licensed to Kill, Family Fundamentals and other LGBT films, has finished a new film Hollywood Chinese, a vivid and entertaining journey tracking the experience of Chinese Americans in America’s film industry. The film opens in the Bay Area on April 11 at San Francisco’s Sundance Kabuki Cinemas and at Oakland’s Grand Lake Theater. A San Francisco native, Arthur Dong Whowould have thought that it would be a heterosexual Chinese recently spoke to Bay Times about the director (Ang Lee) to bring the a great gay love story (Brokeback film. Mountain) to the silver screen. (Bay Times) So, you’re going to be at the screening in San Francisco on Friday and in Oakland on Saturday. You’ve assembled one hell of a cast - Ang Lee, Wayne Wang, Joan Chen, David Henry Huang, B.D. Wong, Nancy Kwan, Amy Tan and Fu Man Chu. But I gotta ask - is it a queer film? (Arthur Dong) Am I queer? No, I mean is the film, Hollywood Chinese, queer? That’s the answer. Am I queer? Ah ha! So there. Okay, identity politics is so passé. You got me, but now I’m curious. Do you believe that a queer sensibility is embedded in one’s vision? I believe that my films are embedded with my vision and I happen to be a gay man. I’m not saying all gay people produce gay products, but I do.

Horticulture Research (2020) 7:212 Horticulture Research https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-00449-z www.nature.com/hortres ARTICLE Open Access A chromosome-level reference genome of non- heading Chinese cabbage [Brassica campestris (syn. Brassica rapa)ssp. chinensis] Ying Li 1,Gao-FengLiu1,Li-MingMa2,Tong-KunLiu 1, Chang-Wei Zhang 1, Dong Xiao1, Hong-Kun Zheng2, Fei Chen1 and Xi-Lin Hou 1 Abstract Non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) is an important leafy vegetable cultivated worldwide. Here, we report the first high-quality, chromosome-level genome of NHCC001 based on PacBio, Hi-C, and Illumina sequencing data. The assembled NHCC001 genome is 405.33 Mb in size with a contig N50 of 2.83 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 38.13 Mb. Approximately 53% of the assembled genome is composed of repetitive sequences, among which long terminal repeats (LTRs, 20.42% of the genome) are the most abundant. Using Hi-C data, 97.9% (396.83 Mb) of the sequences were assigned to 10 pseudochromosomes. Genome assessment showed that this B. rapa NHCC001 genome assembly is of better quality than other currently available B. rapa assemblies and that it contains 48,158 protein-coding genes, 99.56% of which are annotated in at least one functional database. Comparative genomic analysis confirmed that B. rapa NHCC001 underwent a whole-genome triplication (WGT) event shared with other Brassica species that occurred after the WGD events shared with Arabidopsis. Genes related to ascorbic acid metabolism showed little variation among the three B. rapa subspecies. The numbers of genes involved in glucosinolate biosynthesis and catabolism 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; were higher in NHCC001 than in Chiifu and Z1, due primarily to tandem duplication.

Abstract Phytotoxicity of dredged sediment from Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal as land application was evaluated by pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) germination tests and pot experiments. Germination rates of pakchoi in the dredged sediment and in sediment-applied soils were both significantly higher than that in the soil controls, while the germination rate between the sediment- applied soils was no significant difference. In pot experiments, plant height and biomass were increased by the dredged sedi- ment application rate in the rate of lower than 540 t haÀ1, but decreased when the application rate was over this rate. Concentra- tions of Zn and Cu in pakchoi were linearly increased with the increasing of the application rate of the dredged sediment. Both plant height and biomass of pakchoi in sediment-treated red soil were higher than that in sediment-treated paddy soil, regardless the application rate. The results suggest that plant biomass of pakchoi may be used as an indicator of the phytotoxicity of the dredged sediment.

Department of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, Islamic Azad University-Sanandaj Branch, Iran. 2. College of Agriculture, University of Zanjan, Zanjan, Iran. 3. Department of Plant breeding, Faculty of Agriculture University of Zabol * Corresponding author, R. Talebi, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Information on genetic diversity and genetic relationships among taxa of Brassica rapa (n=10, AA genome) is currently limited. The genetic diversity and the relationships among rapeseed germplasm, including a collection of 47 genotypes from different countries were evaluated using inter simple sequence repeat DNA markers. A total of 99 different polymorphic amplification products were obtained using 12 selected primers. ISSRs revealed a significant level of polymorphism among the accessions. Cluster analysis based on unweighted pair group method comparison divided the studied accessions into three main clusters. Group 1 consisted mainly of Oil and turnip types. Group 2 included a mixture of all three oil, turnip and cabbage types. Group 3 consisted mainly of cabbage and oil types. Also based on the origin, most of the Chinese and Korean Brasica rapa accessions were grouped in cluster 3. The cabbage accessions that tested in this study, were found to be extremely genetically unique and closer together in comparison with Oilseed and turnip types. The results indicate the occurrence of a considerable genetic variation between Chinese and European accessions.
