Analysis of foramen ovale with special emphasis on pterygoalar bar and pterygoalar foramen
The foramen ovale is of great surgical and diagnostic importance in procedures
like percutaneous trigeminal rhizotomy for trigeminal neuralgia, transfacial fine
needle aspiration technique in perineural spread of tumour, and electroencephalographic
analysis. This study presents the anatomic variations in dimensions,
appearance, number of foramen ovale (FO), and presence of pterygoalar
bar and pterygoalar foramen.
For the present study ninety dry adult human skulls were utilised. Anterioposterior
(length) and transverse (width) diameters of FO were measured, and the
presence of pterygoalar bar and foramen were observed.
The most common shape of FO observed was like a figure ‘D’. The ranges of
anteroposterior diameter of the right and left FO were 8.5–4.5 mm and 10–3 mm,
respectively. The mean length of the right FO was 6.60 mm while that of
the left FO was 6.26 mm. The ranges of transverse diameter (width) of both right
and left foramen were 2.5–6 mm and 2–5 mm, respectively. The mean transverse
diameter of the right FO was 3.70 mm and that of left was 3.34 mm. Bony
spur in FO was seen in 6.66% of cases. A complete pterygoalar bar and foramen
were observed in seven cases unilaterally, and in one case it was bilateral.
Anteroposterior and transverse diameters of right FO were greater than left.
Anatomical understanding, including the size, shape of FO, and presence of
pterygoalar bar, has immense surgical and diagnostic importance. (Folia Morphol

Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: A Synopsis of Coordinated National CropWild Relative Seed Collecting Programs across Five Continents
The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project set out to improve the diversity, quantity, and accessibility of germplasm collections of crop wild relatives (CWR). Between 2013 and 2018, partners in 25 countries, heirs to the globetrotting legacy of Nikolai Vavilov, undertook seed collecting expeditions targeting CWR of 28 crops of global significance for agriculture. Here, we describe the implementation of the 25 national collecting programs and present the key results. A total of 4587 unique seed samples from at least 355 CWR taxa were collected, conserved ex situ, safety duplicated in national and international genebanks, and made available through the Multilateral System (MLS) of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Plant Treaty). Collections of CWR were made for all 28 targeted crops. Potato and eggplant were the most collected genepools, although the greatest number of primary genepool collections were made for rice. Overall, alfalfa, Bambara groundnut, grass pea and wheat were the genepools for which targets were best achieved. Several of the newly collected samples have already been used in pre-breeding programs to adapt crops to future challenges
