Statistical analyses showed that the Turkish version of the DQOL is a valid and reliable instrument to measure disease related QoL in patients with diabetes. It is a simple and quick screening tool with about 15 +/- 5.8 min administration time for measuring QoL in this population.

The objectives of this study were to map and tag the previously undescribed eyespot resistance gene PchDv on chromosome 4V of Dasypyrum villosum in a wheat background. The 82 F2 plants used for mapping were produced from a cross between a susceptible\i wheat 'Yangmai-5' (4V(4D)) substitution line and a resistant wheat 'Chinese Spring' disomic addition line of chromosome 4V of D. villosum. Segregation for resistance and susceptibility among F2 plants was 3:1, indicating that resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene. PchDv mapped to the distal part of chromosome 4V and was bracketed by two RFLP markers, Xcdo949 and Xbcd588, in a 33-cM interval. This distance could not be reduced, owing to a lack of polymorphic loci in this region. Theoretically, double recombination in this region occurs in 3.3% of the individuals; therefore, 96.7% of the selected genotypes would have PchDv, with simultaneous selection for both flanking markers. Double recombination between the flanking markers was observed in 2 out of 82 (2.4%) F2 individuals.
