Chromosome Number Variation in Iranian Populations of Acorus calamus
Different ploidy levels, diploid (2n=2x=24) to hexaploid (2n=6x=72) have been reported for Acorus calamus, a perennial medicinal plant. According to available information, there is a significant relationship between the ploidy level and essential oil compositions and medicinal properties of this important genetic resource. However, there is no information about the chromosome number of A. calam...
متن کاملChromosome breakage and repair.
FROM time to time one of my colleagues working at a medical school commiserates with me because I spend 40 hr a year lecturing to undergraduates. I always reply that teaching has compelled me to learn a lot of material that I would not have known about had I taught only my specialized subject. These forays into the ‘‘beyond’’ were instrumental in moving my research in new directions. Three arti...
متن کاملChromosome breakage and ultrasound.
Human lymphocyte cultures were examined for chromosome damage after exposure to ultrasound. Control and treated slides were scored "blind" and showed no evidence of damage due to ultrasound. Neither was there evidence of chromosome damage in blood cultures from six infants whose mothers had ultrasound during pregnancy when compared with that from six infants whose mothers had not. Our results s...
متن کاملThe Fragile Breakage versus Random Breakage Models of Chromosome Evolution
For many years, studies of chromosome evolution were dominated by the random breakage theory, which implies that there are no rearrangement hot spots in the human genome. In 2003, Pevzner and Tesler argued against the random breakage model and proposed an alternative "fragile breakage" model of chromosome evolution. In 2004, Sankoff and Trinh argued against the fragile breakage model and raised...
متن کاملSpontaneous Loss of Virulence in Natural Populations of Listeria monocytogenes
The pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes depends on the ability of this bacterium to escape from the phagosome of the host cells via the action of the pore-forming toxin listeriolysin O (LLO). Expression of the LLO-encoding gene (hly) requires the transcriptional activator PrfA, and both hly and prfA genes are essential for L. monocytogenes virulence. Here, we used the hemolytic activity of L...
