Chromosomal Interchanges in Maize.
Chromosomal interchanges, or reciprocal translocations, in maize are of primary interest because of the opportunities they offer for the study of chromosome behavior and crossing over. The great volume of work which has been done on crossing over and on translocations in Drosophila has yielded an abundance of statistical data on crossing over and chromosome distribution. For this type of work D...
متن کاملTelomere-mediated chromosomal truncation in maize.
Direct repeats of Arabidopsis telomeric sequence were constructed to test telomere-mediated chromosomal truncation in maize. Two constructs with 2.6 kb of telomeric sequence were used to transform maize immature embryos by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. One hundred seventy-six transgenic lines were recovered in which 231 transgene loci were revealed by a FISH analysis. To analyze chromo...
متن کاملMeiotic drive of chromosomal knobs reshaped the maize genome.
Meiotic drive is the subversion of meiosis so that particular genes are preferentially transmitted to the progeny. Meiotic drive generally causes the preferential segregation of small regions of the genome; however, in maize we propose that meiotic drive is responsible for the evolution of large repetitive DNA arrays on all chromosomes. A maize meiotic drive locus found on an uncommon form of c...
متن کاملMatrix attachment regions and transcribed sequences within a long chromosomal continuum containing maize Adh1.
We provide evidence for the location of matrix attachment sites along a contiguous region of 280 kb on maize chromosome 1. We define nine potential loops that vary in length from 6 kb to > 75 kb. The distribution of the different classes of DNA within this continuum with respect to the predicted structural loops reveals an interesting correlation: the long stretches of mixed classes of highly r...
متن کاملSequential de novo centromere formation and inactivation on a chromosomal fragment in maize.
The ability of centromeres to alternate between active and inactive states indicates significant epigenetic aspects controlling centromere assembly and function. In maize (Zea mays), misdivision of the B chromosome centromere on a translocation with the short arm of chromosome 9 (TB-9Sb) can produce many variants with varying centromere sizes and centromeric DNA sequences. In such derivatives o...
