Etiology and Evaluation of Sperm Chromatin Anomalies
Evidence suggests that human sperm chromatin anomalies adversely affect reproductive outcomes and infertile men possess substantially amount of sperm with chromatin anomalies than fertile men. Routine semen analysis evaluates parameters such as sperm motility and morphology, but does not examine the nuclear DNA integrity of spermatozoa. It has been suggested that altered nuclear chromatin struc...
متن کاملA Flow Cytometry Approach to Detect In vivo Chromatin Compaction from Plant Cells
It is now widely accepted that chromatin is a highly dynamic structure that participates in all DNA-related functions, including transcription, DNA replication, repair, and programmed cell death. Chromatin compaction influences plant regeneration and development. In plants, the most popular method of detecting chromatin compaction is immunofluorescence coupled with confocal microscopy. This met...
متن کاملP-54: Evaluation of The Acute and Chronic Effects of Different Gold Nanoparticle Doses on Sperm Parameters and Chromatin Structure in Mice
Background The solid and colloidal particles in the range of 1-100 nm are called nanoparticles. Recently, one of the most important metal nanoparticles, with wide usage is gold nanoparticle. Based on the previous studies, gold nanoparticles have spermatotoxic effects and can destroy sperm motility. The aim of present study is the effect of gold nanoparticles on chromatin quality and sperm param...
متن کاملA DEK domain-containing protein modulates chromatin structure and function in Arabidopsis.
Chromatin is a major determinant in the regulation of virtually all DNA-dependent processes. Chromatin architectural proteins interact with nucleosomes to modulate chromatin accessibility and higher-order chromatin structure. The evolutionarily conserved DEK domain-containing protein is implicated in important chromatin-related processes in animals, but little is known about its DNA targets and...
متن کاملThe epigenome and plant development.
The epigenomic regulation of chromatin structure and genome stability is essential for the interpretation of genetic information and ultimately the determination of phenotype. High-resolution maps of plant epigenomes have been obtained through a combination of chromatin technologies and genomic tiling microarrays and through high-throughput sequencing-based approaches. The transcriptomic activi...
متن کاملMaintenance of genome stability in plants: repairing DNA double strand breaks and chromatin structure stability
Plant cells are subject to high levels of DNA damage resulting from plant's obligatory dependence on sunlight and the associated exposure to environmental stresses like solar UV radiation, high soil salinity, drought, chilling injury, and other air and soil pollutants including heavy metals and metabolic by-products from endogenous processes. The irreversible DNA damages, generated by the envir...
