the present study reports the chromosome number and meiotic behaviour of 14 populationsbelonging to four taxa of anchusa subgenus buglossum gusul. from iran. all populationsshowed the chromosome number 2n= 4x= 32. it is the first meiotic study for a. subg.buglossum. we discuss some habit form and evolutionary aspect in the light of cytogeneticdata. the origin of polyploidy (auto-allopolyploidy)...

eleven populations of five avena species were analysed for meiotic characters including chiasma frequency and distribution as well as chromosomal association and segregation. plants of a single population of a. eriantha showed the presence of 2n = 14 (diploid) and 2n = 4x = 28 chromosome number. populations of a. barbata and a. wiestii possessed n = 14, while populations of a. sterilis ssp. lud...

Ring chromosome 14 syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. Typically, children with this syndrome have distinct facial features, development delay, microcephaly, seizures, ocular abnormalities, and recurrent respiratory infections. Epilepsy associated with ring chromosome 14 generally shows intractable seizures. We describe a six-month-old girl with ring chromosome 14 syndrome who presented with e...

We have studied somatic cell hybrids between P3x63Ag8 mouse myeloma cells deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8) and either human peripheral lymphocytes or human lymphoblastoid or myeloma cells for the production of human immunoglobulin chains and for the expression of enzyme markers assigned to each of the different human chromosomes. Human chromosome 14 was the only ...

human chromosomes in amnion cells and lymphocytes with normal karyotype and in lymphocytes with pathological karyotype (2n=47, +21) were compared as to their position in the metaphase. none of the collectives showed sex differences. measurement of the radial distances revealed more peripheral position of the majority of large chromosomes. the satellite-carrying chromosomes of the d group always...

This study concerns diploid chromosome numbers and karyotype analysis of nine species belonging to four sections (Vicilla, Cracca, Variegata and Anatropostylia) of the subgenus Vicilla of the genus Vicia (Fabaceae). The chromosome numbers of Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca, V. aucheri, V. ciceroideae, V. gariensis, V. iranica, V. koeieana, V. rechingeri, V. sojakii and V. venulosa are reported...
