Karyotype and C-Banding Patterns of Mitotic Chromosomes in Diploid Bromegrass (Bromus riparius Rehm).

Previous cytogenetic studies of the genus Bromus L. were limited to chromosome counts and construction of karyotypes on the basis of Feulgen staining. Since the chromosomes of Bromus are similar in morphology, these karyotypes are of limited use for chromosome identification and genome analysis. The objectives of this study were to develop and evaluate a Giemsa C-banding procedure to use in identification of individual bromegrass chromosomes and to develop a karyotype for diploid Bromus rip...

Karyotype and C-Banding Patterns of Mitotic Chromosomes in Diploid Bromegrass (Bromus riparius Rehm).
Crop Science ; THE GENUS BROMUS CONTAINS more than 100 species distributed over all continents (Gould and Shaw, 1983). The ploidy level within the genus varies from diploid to decaploid (Armstrong, 1991). Feulgen staining based karyotypes have been constructed for some species of the genus Bromus (Rychlewski,
Mitotic mischief: can cells divide without chromosomes?
Science News ; Consider the role of the corpse at a funeral. Though the reason for the often elaborate proceedings, the corpse can do nothing to control the events taking place around it. In the end, its fate rests in the hands of the pallbearers. In 1961, when discussing the role that chromosomes play in the
Common ground for X, Y chromosomes.
Science News ; Common ground for X, Y chromosomes The major difference between a female and a male mammal's cell is the chromosome composition. The female cell has a pair of X chromosomes, one of which is usually curled up in an inactive form, while the male cell has only one X chromosome and one, much smaller, Y
Crossover Interference on Nucleolus Organizing Region-Bearing Chromosomes in Arabidopsis
Genetics ; ABSTRACT In most eukaryotes, crossovers are not independently distributed along the length of a chromosome. Instead, they appear to avoid close proximity to one another-a phenomenon known as crossover interference. Previously, for three of the five Arabidopsis chromosomes, we measured the strength
Primer on Medical Genomics Part XI: Visualizing Human Chromosomes
Mayo Clinic Proceedings ; In the past century, various methods to visualize human chromosomes were discovered. Chromosome analyses provide an overall view of the human genome that cannot be achieved with any other approach. The methods to visualize chromosomes include various techniques to produce bands along chromosomes,
SCIENTISTS CAN READ A NAME FROM DNA; Researchers link surnames and chromosomes.
Sunday Mercury (Birmingham, England) ; Byline: TONY LARNER Chief Reporter SCIENTISTS at a Midland university have extracted new information from a DNA profile - a surname. Researchers have been able to identify the family name of men through their hereditary Y chromosomes. Boffins have made stunning discovery during a three-year project
Bacterial chromosomes run to the poles. (ParA and ParB proteins may aid partition chromosomes in dividing bacterium)(Biology)(Brief Article)
Science News ; Over the years, biologists have developed a detailed picture of how dividing eukaryotic cells-cells with a nucleus-copy their chromosomes and parcel identical sets to the resulting pair of cells. Crucial to this dance of chromosomes is the mitotic spindle , an elaborate skeleton of proteins that

Rumex acetosa Y chromosomes: constitutive or facultative heterochromatin?
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica ; Abstract: Condensed Y chromosomes in Rumex acetosa L. root-tip nuclei were studied using 5-azaC treatment and immunohistochemical detection of methylated histones. Although Y chromosomes were decondensed within root meristem in vivo, they became condensed and heteropycnotic in roots cultured in
