An attempt was made to identify the chromosomes from different species genomes in BC₂ progenies of Erianthus procerus x Saccharum officinarum through multi-color GISH (MCGISH). The population derived cross between a BC1 hybrid (GU 12-14) and commercial variety, Co 16018. BC2 were studied for their somatic chromosome number two cytotypes observed, i.e., 2n=92 (2) 2n=96 (5). revealed that majorit...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Repetitive DNA sequences are thought to be involved in the formation of chromosomal rearrangements. The aim of this study was to analyse the distribution of microsatellite clusters in Aegilops biuncialis and Aegilops geniculata, and its relationship with the intergenomic translocations in these allotetraploid species, wild genetic resources for wheat improvement. METHODS T...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hylocereus and Selenicereus are native to tropical and sub-tropical America. Based on its taxonomic status and crossability relations it was postulated that H. megalanthus (syn. S. megalanthus) is an allotetraploid (2n = 4x = 44) derived from natural hybridization between two closely related diploid taxa. The present work aimed at elucidating the genetic relationships betwee...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Brachypodium is a small genus of temperate grasses that comprises 12-15 species. Brachypodium distachyon is now well established as a model species for temperate cereals and forage grasses. In contrast to B. distachyon, other members of the genus have been poorly investigated at the chromosome level or not at all. METHODS Twenty accessions comprising six species and two su...

Intergenomic F1 hybrids between L. auratum x L. henryi and their BC1 progeny were investigated through genomic in situ hybridization technique (GISH) to determine their potential value in lily breeding. We confirmed that F1 intergenomic hybrids possessed a set of chromosomes (x=12) from both parents and that flowers of the F1 auratum × henryi hybrid showed an intermediate morphological phenotyp...

This article investigates two recent fictional representations of the feminized US surveillance state and its “security feminists” (Grewal), with an eye towards limning what visions social transformation political life such make possible. It first examines Gish Jen’s 2020 novel The Resisters, considering how novel’s characterization as a snoopy suspicious Aunt maintains American liberal fantasi...
