The dominant male sterility gene Ms-cd1 (c, cabbage; d, dominant) was identified as a spontaneous mutation in the spring cabbage line 79-399-3. The Ms-cd1 gene is successfully applied in hybrid seed production of several Brassica oleracea cultivars in China. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technology was used to identify markers linked to the Ms-cd1 gene in bulks of male-sterile and male-fertile individuals of a segregating BC3 population and in a near-isogenic population of 25 male-sterile plants. Twelve markers within a 20-cM interval proximal to the Ms-cd1 gene were identified, 5 of which can be used to select homozygous male-sterile Ms-cd1/ Ms-cd1 plants. Three AFLP markers and 3 sequence characterized amplified region markers that were linked to MS-cd1 mapped onto linkage group O9, corresponding to chromosome 3 of B. oleracea. This region corresponds to the top of chromosome 5 in Arabidopsis thaliana.Key words: Brassica oleracea, dominant male-sterility gene, bulk segregant analysis, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), genetic mapping.

Leber hereditary optical neuropathy (LHON) is part of the class of optic neuropathies in which the mitochondrial function is impaired and is characterized by a painless, subacute, bilateral decrease of the central vision. We shall present the case of two brothers AM aged 31 and AT aged 40 who were diagnosed with LHON and whom we initiated treatment with idebenone 900 mg / day with monitoring at one month and 6 months. The mitochondrial DNA analysis demonstrated the existence of mutations 11778G>A for the mtND4 gene in both patients. Idebenone is a synthetic benzoquinone, analogue of ubiquinone. We found a slight but significant improvement in the visual field in patient AM at one month of treatment. We have not found another case in the literature with an improvement in vision so fast after this treatment, and this has led us to write this article. Keywords: Leber hereditary optical neuropathy (LHON), idebenone, mutations 11778G>A, mtND4 gene
