Histomorphological spectrum of gastrointestinal stromal tumors: an institutional experience
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the abdominal area. They can involve any portion of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, omentum, mesentery, retroperitoneum, and other sites. They form 1-2% of the histologic types of gastrointestinal tract tumors. Aims and objectives were to analyze and correlate morphological, clinical and histomorphology features of gastrointestinal tumors presenting at different sites.Methods: This was a retrospective observational study for six years. Medical records of the histopathologically diagnosed GIST cases were reviewed for patient demographics and clinical presentation, and tumor findings were noted.Results: Of the 28 patients, ages ranged from 28 to 80 years. Symptoms ranged from abdominal pain, epigastric discomfort, mass, upper/lower gastrointestinal bleeding, rectal bleeding, anemia, weight loss, and small bowel obstruction. Sites involved were the small bowel, stomach, mesentery, rectum, duodenum, greater omentum, and retroperitoneum. Of 28 cases of GIST, 25 cases showed both c-KIT and DOG-1 positivity, 1 case showed only c-KIT positivity, 1 case showed only DOG-1 positivity, and 1 case was both c-KIT and DOG-1 negative.Conclusions: GISTS are unpredictable mesenchymal tumors. Common sites are the stomach and small gut. Mesenteric and omental GIST are rare. Spindle cell morphology was more commonly present

Variability and genetic diversity among selfed lines (S1) of onion (Allium cepa L.)
Onion is a highly cross-pollinated crop, high variability could possibly come from traditional seed production by out-crossing or by open pollination and it could lead to more diversity and variation. The high phenotypic, genotypic variation coefficients reveal high-quantifiable variation of traits in S1 lines. Selection of lowest premature bolting and split bulbs producing genotypes, least incidence of purple blotch incidence and thrips incidence with the highest weight of ten bulbs and maximum plot yielding genotypes were more appropriate for genetic improvement of onion. The traits aided the yield witnessed high traits heritability (h2) and maximum genetic-advance-mean (GAM) and isolation of S1 lines in terms of selection indices fixed for higher values of measurement. Whereas traits like premature bolting, split bulbs, purple blotch incidence, thrips incidence and were selected at least values although these traits were high heritability (h2) and GAM could contribute for additive-gene-action and hence it indicates the straight mass selection be more effective for genetic improvement of onion genotypes or lines. The genetic distance was highly flanked by Cluster-II and –IV groups and was highly divergent. Hence, the selection of parental lines from these groups is more appropriate for traditional heterosis breeding
