چکیده

We describe the inherited folate sensitive fragile site, fra(2)(q13), in three unrelated mentally retarded children, two of them with different forms of epilepsy. Fra(2)(q13) was detected in one healthy sib of one of the probands. Except for one cell in one of the fathers, fra(2)(q13) could not be detected in any of the six parents, who were repeatedly studied using methods known to induce fragile sites of this type. These findings suggest that fra(2)(q13) is not associated with the clinical features of our patients and can be transmitted by persons not expressing it. The expression of fra(2)(q13) may be age dependent.

INHERITANCE OF HYPOCOTYL COLOUR AND PUBESCENCE IN MUNGBEAN (VIGNA RADIATA (L.) WILCZEK)

The mode of inheritance of seedling color and plant pubescence was studied in two crosses among three parents, which differed for these traits. The results have revealed that purple seedling color was dominant over green seedling color and pubescence was dominant over nonpubescence. These two traits segregated independently of each other may be used as morphological markers individually for dif...
