The genus Satureja belonging to the Lamiaceae family includes about 200 species, generally aromatic, distributed in Mediterranean basin. In Satureja, chromosomal data were reported from only 26 species. this study, it is aimed eliminate deficiencies of which are Turkey, center origin and diversity Satureja. It was one chromosome number (2n = 30), first report for numbers three taxa, same count ...

the mediterranean flour moth, ephestia kuehniella zeller, is one of the major pests in stored products worldwide. several problems assossiated with the use of conventional insecticides have strongly demonstrated the need for applying alternative safe compounds such as insect growth regulators (igrs). in the present study, growth regulating activity and hematological effects of pyriproxifen and ...

In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the mature granulocytes originate from a stem cell line harboring an abnormal chromosome, therefore it is possible that metabolic-functional abnormalities occur in the morphologically mature cells. In the present study, the phagocytic activity including intracellular killing, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction, and phagocytosis were studied in 37 CML p...

In the flora of Korea, Carex L. is one most species-rich genera. Among nearly 157 taxa, less than 30 have had their chromosome numbers reported. We report meiotic eight taxa from Korean populations, which include first count for C. accrescens Ohwi (n = 37II) and investigations populations three taxa: bostrychostigma Maxim. 22II), lanceolata Boott 36II), paxii Kük. 38II). species, counts observe...

We report on a case of acute myeloid leukemia in a 17-year old boy affected by Shwachman Diamond syndrome (SDS). Conventional cytogenetics at diagnosis revealed an abnormal clone with complex karyotypic changes including typical myeloid aberrations, such as monosomy 5, tetrasomy of chromosome 8, trisomy 9, and deletion of the short arm of chromosome 12. The boy was treated with conventional che...

CONTEXT The role of CNVs in male infertility is poorly defined, and only those linked to the Y chromosome have been the object of extensive research. Although it has been predicted that the X chromosome is also enriched in spermatogenesis genes, no clinically relevant gene mutations have been identified so far. OBJECTIVES In order to advance our understanding of the role of X-linked genetic f...

Persistently low white blood cell count (WBC) and neutrophil count is a well-described phenomenon in persons of African ancestry, whose etiology remains unknown. We recently used admixture mapping to identify an approximately 1-megabase region on chromosome 1, where ancestry status (African or European) almost entirely accounted for the difference in WBC between African Americans and European A...

How do mammals count their X chromosomes and keep only one X active per cell? In this issue, Jonkers et al. (2009) show that Rnf12/RLIM, encoded by the X-linked gene Rnf12, induces X chromosome inactivation only when present above a certain threshold, a condition fulfilled when at least two Xs are active.

In this work we studied the meiotic chromosome number and details of secondary chromosomal associations recorded for the first time in Geranium pratense L. from the alpine environments in the cold deserts of Lahaul Spiti (India). All the presently studied individuals of the species existed at 4x level (x = 14). The present chromosome count of n = 28 in the species adds a new cytotype to the alr...

Clinical and laboratory findings of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) were analyzed by means of two different methods; first, retrospective analysis of hematologic data from 16 patients whose laboratory examinations had been performed twice a year for 5-10 yr prior to the development of CML and whose diagnosis was made in a very early stage of the disease, and, second, analysis of hematologic d...
