Chromosomes of some argentine angiosperms and their taxo - nomic
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meiotic or mitotic chromosomes of eleven species of angiosperms native in Argentina, belonging to seven families, were studied in order to be used in cytotaxonomic studies and gain some insights on the evolutive relationships of the different groups. Most of our data were the first cytological information for the species. The genus Alvaradoa Liebm. was investigated cytologically for the first time. The novel karyologically studied species, all diploid, were: Bomarea macrocephala Pax and Bomarea stans Kränz. 2n = 18, Loasa bergii Hieron. 2n = 26, Alvaradoa subovata Cronquist 2n = 16, Schizanthus grahamii Gillies 2n = 20, Viola montagnei Gay and Viola roigii Rossow 2n = 14. The same numbers to the ones previously reported in the literature were found from different populations of Cajophora chuquitensis (Meyen) Urb. & Gilg. 2n = 18, Ramorinoa girolae Speg. 2n = 20, and Schizanthus grahamii Gillies 2n = 20. The presence of supernumerary chromosomes, 0 to 6, in Ligaria cuneifolia (Ruiz & Pav.) Tiegh., 2n = 20, was recorded. Data are compared with previously published results and chromosome figures of all studied species are provided.

The chromosomes of the New World flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans and Glaucomys sabrinus) with special reference to autosomal heterochromatin.
There are two species of New World flying squirrels included in the genus Glaucomys: G. sabrinus, the northern flying squirrel, and G. volans, the southern flying squirrel. During a study of local rodents around Hanover, New Hampshire, several flying squirrels were caught and their chromosomes were analyzed. The occurrence, in this region, of both species allowed a comparative study of their re...
متن کاملIncorporating Inheritance and Feature Structures into a Logic Grammar Formalism
Hassan Ait-Kaci introduced the #/-term, an informational structure resembling feature-based functional structures but which also includes taxonomic inheritance (Ait-Kaci, 1984). We describe e-terms and how they have been incorporated into the Logic Grammar formalism. The result, which we call Inheritance Grammar, is a proper superset of DCG and includes many features of PATR-II. Its taxo-nomic ...
متن کاملSorted Downward Reenement: Building Background Knowledge into a Reenement Operator for Inductive Logic Programming
Since its inception, the eld of inductive logic programming has been centrally concerned with the use of background knowledge in induction. Yet, surprisingly, no serious attempts have been made to account for background knowledge in reenement operators for clauses, even though such operators are one of the most important, prominent and widely-used devices in the eld. This paper shows how a sort...
متن کاملTaxonomic review of Argentine mackerel Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782) by phylogenetic analysis
Taxonomically, Argentine mackerels were first considered as Scomber japonicus marplatensis and later as Scomber japonicus Houttuyn 1782, although, in the last years, different studies have suggested that South Atlantic mackerel species belongs to Scomber colias Gmelin 1789. These latter results, incorporated in the main fish databases (FishBase and Catalog of Fishes), promoted a phylogenetic st...
متن کاملKaryotype of NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of laboratory mice (Mus musculus)
The laboratory mouse is recognized as the pre-eminent model for genetic research. Awareness of chromosomal patterns of experimental animals increases their value for a variety of different fields of study. We aimed to study mitotic chromosome preparations from NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of mice, which are outbred, inbred and partially inbred laboratory mice respectively. Bone marrow cells we...
