植物染色体高分辨G-带技术研究

本文对植物染色体高分辨 G-带技术进行了比较系统的研究,并首次运用改良的尿素法在野生一粒小麦、玉米、蚕豆、吊兰、川百合等多种植物上诱导出 G-带,带纹清晰,数目多,分布在染色体全长上。前期染色体带呈颗粒状,中期染色体呈明显带状,与哺乳动物染色体 G-带很相似。G-带的数目取决于染色体浓缩程度,中期染色体一条深带到晚前期可显示出2.67条亚带。作者同时比较了胰酶法与尿素法的显带效果。认为两种方法显示的带纹基本相同,尿素法比胰酶法作用温和,显带时间长达数分钟,易于掌握,重复性高,具有更高的应用价值。     

茶树染色体高分辨G带带型研究

本文应用胰酶法在茶树的晚前期、前中期和早中期的每一染色体的全长上诱导出了清晰而丰富的G带带纹。染色体带纹的数目随染色体的浓缩程度而变化,同源染色体带纹的大小、分布及着色的深浅基本相似。作者认为植物G带的诱导与染色体处理技术及染色体所处的分裂时期密切相关。当胰酶处理超过了G带诱导的临界限度时,常可观察到染色体的大螺旋结构。本文讨论了在染色体前处理中a-溴萘的选用和甲醇-冰醋酸(3:1)的固定时间对G带诱导的影响以及G带的形成与染色体大螺旋结构之间的关系。

Studies on G-bands and Macrocoils in Plant Chromosomes

Four different methods including trypsin urea, SDS and NaOH are presented for the in situ induction of G-bands and macrocoils on the chromosomes of Secale cereale, Hordeum vulgare and Vicia faba. The bands obtained were numerous and along the whole chromosome, the number of the G-bands was much interrelated with the condensation of chromosomes. The bands of homologous chromosomes in some cells were matchable. The G-banded chromosomes in late prophase have nearly reached high resolution level. When incubation periods were beyond critical time for G-banding, macrocoils were often revealed. Gyre number changed with chromosome condensation and the direction of coils has showed different patterns. Transformation of G-bands into macrocoils was first reported in plant chromosomes. Some chromosomes showing G-bands under light microscope appeared spiral patterns under scanning electron microscope. In this paper the relationship between G-bands and macrocoils in plant chromosomes is also discussed.     

Mapping G-bands on human prophase chromosomes.

OHNUKI's method for demonstrating coils in human metaphase chromosomes also reveals a fine G-band pattern on prophase chromosomes of sufficient clarity to justify an attempt at mapping. Maps are provided for each chromosome to show the maximum number of prophase bands observed, and an intermediate stage in chromosome contraction, tracing the pathways of apparent band fusion as the cell progresses to metaphase, is presented. The prophase bands on many chromosomes tend to occur in distinct groups, the members of which ultimately merge to give the dark G-bands of metaphase chromosomes. Every G-band of the standard metaphase chromosomes. Every G-band of the standard metaphase pattern is compounded from two or more prophase bands. In at least contracted prophase chromosomes examined, some bands are seen which have no obvious metaphase counterpart. There are marked similarities between banded prophases and the chromoomere pattern seen at meiotic prophase. However, since chromosome contraction is a dynamic process, agreement between maps will be expected only for corresponding degrees of chromosome contraction.     

High resolution bands in maize chromosomes by G-banding methods

Summary It was demonstrated that G-bands are unequivocally present in plant chromosomes, in contrast to what had been formerly believed by plant cytologists. Maize chromosomes prepared by an enzymatic maceration method and treated with trypsin or SDS showed clear G-bands spreading along the chromosomes. The most critical point during the G-banding procedures was the post-fixation with glutaraldehyde solution. Banding patterns were processed by using the chromosome image analyzing system and a clearer image was obtained. Gbanding technique and the image manipulation method described here can be applied to many plant species, and would contribute new information in the field of plant cytology and genetics.     

A pepsin-revealed material possibly related to chromosomal banding

The enzymes pepsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, RNase and DNase were applied to preparations of human metaphase chromosomes before staining to study whether dissociable materials related to the formation of G-, Q- and C-bands would be seen. Treatment with active pepsin but not the other enzymes revealed material with ribonucleo-protein properties which dissociated from the chromosomes and formed a halo.--Lateral extensions from the chromatids stretched to the rim of the halo and appeared at positions corresponding to G-bands. A G-band may be defined as a ring of stable chromatid-matrix binding at positions where the chromatids coil to form lateral extensions.     

Why plant chromosomes do not show G-bands

Summary Giemsa techniques have refused to reveal G-banding patterns in plant chromosomes. Whatever has been differentially stained so far in plant chromosomes by various techniques represents constitutive heterochromatin (redefined in this paper). Patterns of this type must not be confused with the G-banding patterns of higher vertebrates which reveal an additional chromosome segmentation beyond that due to constitutive heterochromatin. The absence of G-bands in plants is explained as follows: 1) Plant chromosomes in metaphase contain much more DNA than G-banding vertebrate chromosomes of comparable length. At such a high degree of contraction vertebrate chromosomes too would not show G-bands, simply for optical reasons. 2) The striking correspondence of pachytene chromomeres and mitotic G-bands in higher vertebrates suggests that pachytene chromomeres are G-band equivalents, and that this may also be the case in plants. G-banded vertebrate chromosomes are on the average only 2.3 times shorter in mitosis than in pachytene; the chromomeric pattern therefore still can be shown. In contrast, plant chromosomes are approximately 10 times shorter at mitotic metaphase; their pachytene-like arrangement of chromomeres is therefore no longer demonstrable.     

Studies on G-Banding Karyotype in Barley (Hordeum vulgare)

G-banding karyotypes of three cultivars in barley were analyzed. Multiple closely adjacent G-bands were able to be observed in each early metaphase or metaphase chromosome treatted by an ASG method. The more concentrated the chromosome, the less was the number of G-bands during mitosis. The position of band distribution, staining degree and band numbers between homologous chromosomes were basically identical. Chromosome pairing for karyotype analysis could be carried out more accurately. G-banding patterns of different chromosome pairs were not the same, they could be used as the markers to distinguish one from another chromosome pair. During the same mitotic stage the banding patterns including number, relative position and staining degree of the bands between different cultivars were basically the same, but they had differences in the size and staining degree of some bands near centromeres. G-banding technique and G-banding of metaphase chromosomes were discussed.     

Relationship between patterns of late S DNA synthesis and C- and G-banding in muntjac chromosomes

In pulse-labelled muntjac chromosomes, segmental labelling corresponding to the large blocks of G-bands was observed during late S; the termination sequence of DNA synthesis was light bands → C-bands → G-bands.
