Bermuda at the 1998 Winter Olympics

NoteBermuda at the 1998 Winter Olympics

Bermuda sent a delegation to compete at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan from
7–22 February 1998. This marked the territory's third appearance at a Winter Olympic
Games with their first coming in the 1992 Albertville Games. Bermuda's delegation
consisted of a single athlete, the luge competitor Patrick Singleton. In the men's singles, he
came in 27th place.

== Background ==
Bermuda first participated in Olympic competition at the 1936 Berlin Summer Games, made
their Winter Olympic Games debut in 1992 at the Albertville Games, and have appeared in
every Olympics since their respective debuts bar one, the boycotted 1980 Summer
Olympics in Moscow. The only medal the territory has won so far is a bronze in the sport of
boxing at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal The 1998 Winter Olympics were held
from 7–22 February 1998; a total of 2,176 athletes represented 72 National Olympic
Committees. This was the third time Bermuda had participated in a Winter Olympics. The
Bermudian delegation to Nagano consisted of a single luge athlete, Patrick Singleton.

== Luge ==
Singleton was 23 years old at the time of the Nagano Olympics, and was making his Olympic
debut. The men's singles competition in luge was a four run race, held over two days, 8–9
February, with two runs on each day, and the sum of all four run times determining the final
positions.

Bx1 benzoxazin1

NoteBx1 benzoxazin1

Function Maize gene for first step in biosynthesis of benzoxazin, which aids in resistance to
insect pests, pathogenic fungi and bacteria.
First report Hamilton 1964, as a mutant sensitive to the herbicide atrazine, and lacking
benzoxazinoids (less than 1% of non-mutant plants).
Molecular characterization reveals that the BX1 protein is a homologue to the alpha-subunit
of tryptophan synthase. The reference mutant allele has a deletion of about 900 bp, located
at the 5'-terminus and comprising sequence upstream of the transcription start site and the
first exon. Additional alleles are given by a Mu transposon insertion in the fourth exon (Frey
et al. 1997 ) and a Ds transposon insertion in the maize inbred line W22 genetic background
(Betsiashvili et al. 2014). Gene sequence diversity analysis has been performed for 281
inbred lines of maize, and the results suggest that bx1 is responsible for much of the natural
variation in DIMBOA (a benzoxazinoid compound) synthesis (Butron et al. 2010). Genetic
variation in benzoxazinoid content influences maize resistance to several insect pests
(Meihls et al 2013; McMullen et al 2009).
