Affinity Distance Values among Somatic Metaphase Chromosomes

In maize root-tip metaphase preparations, all distances between two chromosomes were measured in 50 cells from each of seven stocks and in 30 from one stock; four were arrested with cold, two with 8-hydroxyquinoline, one with colchicine and one with monobromonaphthalene Standardized, affinity-distance values were calculated for all pairs of homologues and pairs of nonhomologues from each prepar...

A study of somatic chromosomes in a Japanese population.

THE CHROMOSOMES OF HUMAN BEINGS, in various tissues, have been investigated with a variety of methods by many authors since the end of the last century. Early investigators found that the approximate chromosome number for man was from 16 to 32 until the appearance of de Winiwarter's historic paper in 1912 reporting 47 chromosomes in human males (cf. Makino, 1956). Later, Painter (1923) reported...

A Comparison of Staining Techniques for Somatic Chromosomes of Strawberry

A factorial combination of pretreatments, fixatives, and stains was examined to identify the best available method for staining the chromosomes of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. ‘Chandler’) root-tip cells. Three pretreatments ( a -bromonaphthalene, p -dichlorobenzene, and 8-hydroxyquinoline), three fixatives (Farmer’s fluid, Carnoy’s fluid, and Newcomer’s fluid), and five stains (acetoca...
