چکیده

The unusual appearance of a ring XY bivalent at metaphase I of meiosis is reported in some cells of an oligospermic human male. Higher than usual frequencies of ring configuration in the XY pair were also observed during prophase I. The defect could be attributable to loss of some DNA sequences from the distal heterochromatic tip of the Y chromosome long arm.

First report on meiotic behavior of chromosomes in three species of subfamily Pentatominae (Pentatomidae: Heteroptera).

Regardless of rich biodiversity, cytogenetic reports on Pentatomidae refer to less than 400 species. This paper reports, for the first time, course of meiosis of three species of subfamily Pentatominae viz., Tolumnia antennata Distant, Cahara jugatoria (Lethierry) and Cahara confusa (Distant). Species-specific variations observed with respect to association pattern of X and Y during prophase, a...

Interlocked bivalents in reconstructed metaphase I cells of bread wheat.

Complete reconstructions of all the bivalents were made from electron micrographs of serial sections through six pollen mother cells at metaphase I of meiosis in Triticum aestivum (hexaploid bread wheat). At least two of these metaphases contained interlocked pairs of bivalents. In one, two ring bivalents were interlocked, while in another a rod bivalent ran through the centre of a ring bivalen...

Telomere-independent homologue pairing and checkpoint escape of accessory ring chromosomes in male mouse meiosis

We analyzed transmission of a ring minichromosome (MC) through mouse spermatogenesis as a monosome and in the presence of a homologue. Mice, either monosomic or disomic for the MC, produced MC+ offspring. In the monosomic condition, most univalents underwent self-synapsis as indicated by STAG3, SCP3, and SCP1 deposition. Fluorescent in situ hybridization and three-dimensional fluorescence micro...

Cytogenetic study of two Alhagi species

Background & Aim: Alhagi genus has two important medicinal plant species in Iran, including Alhagi pseudoalhagi, and A. graecorum (known “Kharshotor” in Persian). These plants are distributed in Iran like weeds. Generally, Alhagi is used as an anti-hemorrhoid, laxative and diuretic. Manna in both species produced by activity of a kind of insect on <...
