Somatic chromosomes ofPinus nigra var.maritima (2n=24) were sequentially stained with DNA binding base-specific fluorochromes, chromomycin A3 (CMA) and DAPI. Many CMA- and DAPI-bands appeared at intercalary and/or proximal regions of most chromosomes. These banding patterns reversely related. Individual chromosomes were easily identified using these fluorescent banding patterns. 相似文献

The mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of the marsupial frog Gastrotheca riobambae were analysed with various banding techniques. The karyotype of this species is distinguished by considerable amounts of constitutive heterochromatin and unusual, heteromorphic XY sex chromosomes. The Y chromosome is considerably larger than the X chromosome and almost completely heterochromatic. The analysis of the banding patterns obtained with GC- and AT-base-pair-specific fluorochromes shows that the constitutive heterochromatin in the Y chromosome consists of at least three different structural categories. The only nucleolus organizer region (NOR) of the karyotype is localized in the short arm of the X chromosome. This causes a sex-specific difference in the number of NOR: female animals have two NORs in diploid cells, male animals one. No cytological indications were found for the inactivation of one of the two X chromosomes in the female cells. In male meiosis, the heteromorphic sex chromosomes form a characteristic sex-bivalent by pairing their telomeres in an end-to-end arrangement. The significance of the XY/XX sex chromosomes of G. riobambae for the study of X-linked genes in Amphibia, the evolution of sex chromosomes and their specific DNA sequences, and the significance of the meiotic process of sex chromosomes are discussed. 相似文献

In entomology, improvement of molecular methods would be beneficial tools for accurate identification and detecting the genetic diversity of insect species to discover a corroborative evidence for the traditional classification based on morphology. The aim of this study was focused on RAPD-PCR method for distinguishing the genetic diversity between eight species of Chrysopidae family. In current research, many specimens were collected in different locations of Tehran province (Iran), between them 24 specimens were identified. The wing venation, male genitalia and other morphological characters were used for identification and also the sexing of species was recognized with study of external genitalia. Then, the DNA was extracted with CTAB method. The RAPD-PCR method was carried out with twenty random primers. The agarose gel electrophoresis was used for separation of the PCR products. Based on electrophoresis results, 133 bands were amplified and between them, 126 bands were poly-morph and others were mono-morph. Also, among the applied primers, the primers OPA02 with 19 bands and OPA03 with 8 bands were amplified the maximum and minimum of bands, respectively. The results showed that 80.35 and 73.21 % of genetic similarity existed between Chrysopa pallens–Chrysopa dubitans, and between the Chrysoperla kolthoffi and Chrysoperla carnea, respectively. The minimum (45.53 %) of genetic similarity was observed between C. kolthoffi and C. dubitans, and the maximum (0.80 %) was seen between C. pallens and C. dubitans. 相似文献

The chromosomal distribution of satellite DNA in the germ-line and somatic tissues of the gall midge,Heteropeza pygmaea 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Somatic DNA from Heteropeza pygmaea separated in CsCl gradients into a main band DNA (?=1.685 g/cm3) and a satellite band (?=1.716 g/cm3) comprising 15% of the total DNA. The satellite melted sharply at 93.0°C in SSC, 10.4°C higher than the main band DNA. Satellite DNA reassociated rapidly, banding in CsCl heavier than native satellite but lighter than denatured satellite. The complementary strands of the satellite formed a single band in alkaline gradients and hence are apparently similar in G+T composition. — Filter hybridization experiments with Xenopus ribosomal RNA showed that the satellite band does not contain ribosomal cistrons. — Complementary RNA (cRNA) transcribed in vitro from isolated satellite bound extensively to satellite DNA but not to main band DNA. — The strain of Heteropeza used here contained about 58 chromosomes in germ-line cells and reproduced only paedogenetically. During early cleavage, the presumptive somatic nuclei eliminate most of their chromosomes (E-chromosomes) and retain only ten (S-chromosomes). In situ hybridizations with satellite-cRNA showed satellite DNA (prepared from predominately somatic tissues) to be localized in the centromeric heterochromatin of S- and E-chromosomes. Silver grain comparisons suggested that the amount of satellite is equivalent in both types of chromosomes. — Lastly we found that both diploid and polyploid cells contain similar amounts of satellite DNA. We interpreted this to mean that during polyploidization, as has been demonstrated during polytenization, satellite DNA does not replicate or replicates only slightly while other DNA fractions increase. 相似文献

Supernumerary (B) chromosomes and small aberrant chromosomes were detected in Lilium hybrids and characterized through genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and florescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Two small, supernumerary or B chromosomes were detected as extra chromosomes in a tetraploid plant derived from chromosome doubling of a hybrid (2n = 2x = 24) between a cultivar of the Longiflorum (L) and the Trumpet (T) group. When this tetraploid LLTT hybrid was crossed with a triploid LLO hybrid (O = Oriental), the B chromosome was transmitted to 73.4 % of the progenies. Based on GISH and FISH characterization, it was shown that the B chromosome consisted of two identical arms, with 5S rDNA hybridizing to the majority of it, which were flanked by normal telomeres, suggesting that this is an isochromosome. In another population, which is a backcross progeny between a F1 hybrid of Longiflorum × Asiatic (LA) and its Asiatic parent, the former produced functional 2n gametes which resulted in a triploid LAA progeny (2n = 3x = 36), in which three exceptional plants possessed 35 normal chromosomes and a small aberrant chromosome instead of the expected normal number of 36. In all three cases, the small aberrant chromosomes were isochromosomes which had obviously originated during the first backcross generation. These three chromosomes showed normal telomeres and mitosis. In addition, one of the new generated chromosomes possessed two 45S rDNA sites in the proximal positions. These new arisen isochromosomes were proposed to originate from centric breakage and fusion of two short arms of the missing chromosome in three genotypes, respectively, based on the comparison of arm lengths as well as rDNA loci. Their relevance to the origin of Bs is discussed. 相似文献

Spermatogenesis is described in two species of armored scale insects,Parlatoria proteus andParlatoria ziziphus. In the males of both species, a haploid set of four chromosomes becomes heterochromatic during early embryogeny. The heterochromatic chromosomes are lost later by two different mechanisms during spermatogenesis. Just before meiosis begins one or more heterochromatic chromosomes disappear from each primary spermatocyte as a consequence of a rapid intranuclear chromosome destruction. Meiosis consists of a single achiasmatic division. At prophase four euchromatic and from one to three heterochromatic chromosomes are present in each cell. Although both the euchromatic and remaining heterochromatic chromosomes divide, the heterochromatic chromosomes are later eliminated by posttelophase ejection; the eliminated chromosomes then disintegrate slowly in the cytoplasm. Each of the two species displays a species specific level of heterochromatin retention and both differ in this regard from the previously describedParlatoria oleae. The evolution of a chromosome system involving intranuclear chromosome destruction is discussed. 相似文献

A modification of the general system of classification ofCalliphoridae is proposed in this report. Information about the chromosome complements of about 90 species is provided including references to the earlier literature on chromosomes of this family. With one exception all species studied by us or by earlier investigators have 2n=12. The total complement length of 556 complements from 83 species averaged 66.4 μ. Most species have a short heteromorphic sex pair but the size and morphology vary considerably and one species,Hemipyrellia fernandica, seems to have a quadrivalent sex-chromosome complex in a 2n=14 complement. The autosomal pairs vary in both length and arm ratios between the species but seem to be more stable than the sex chromosomes. Only minor variations were found between different collections of the same species except for two collections ofCalliphora croceipalpis. Although presently available data on the chromosomes of Diptera species suggest that increases in total complement length accompany evolutionary progress, no such general trends were obvious in either the total complement lengths or chromosome morphology, either within or between the tribes ofCalliphoridae. Thus the karyotypical reorganizations in the family have apparently not been directly associated with changes in the general morphological features of the adults which may have responded in these respects more extensively to genetic mutations. 相似文献

Chromosomes and sex determination of 9 species of Haemaphysalis assigned to 4 subgenera are described. H. (tAlloceraea) kitaokai possesses an XX∶XO sex chromosome system with 18 autosomes plus XX in females; 18 plus X in males. H. (Kaiseriana) hystricis has 18 +XX and 18 + XY in females and males, respectively, in most specimens, but a supernumerary chromosome is present in some individuals. A supernumerary chromosome was also observed in 1 male H. (Aborphysalis) formosensis. These two species are the second and third species of ticks reported to have supernumerary chromosomes. H. formosensis, H. (Kaiseriana) bispinosa, H. (Haemaphysalis) campanulata, H. (H.) flava, H. (H.) megaspinosa, H. (H.) japonica, and H. (H.) pentalagi possess 20 autosomes plus 2 sex chromosomes in females and 20+1 sex chromosomes in males. Phylogenetic relationships within the genus Haemaphysalis are briefly discussed. 相似文献

The leaf peroxidase activity and the electrophoretic banding pattern of 69 tomato mutants affecting plant morphology have been studied. The zymograms of 63 mutants were normal, and their total peroxidase activities were not correlated with a particular plant or leaf trait. However, six mutations, lyrate x-1521, mottled, olivacea, monstrosa, extreme dwarf, and Curl, are characterized by one or two isozymic bands more intensely stained than in the normal electrophoretic pattern; concomitantly, their total peroxidase activities increase significantly, reaching, in the mutant olivacea, a value forty fold higher than in nonmutant stocks. These abnormal levels of total peroxidase activity are achieved by a promotion of the constitutive bands A5 or C2, singularly or simultaneously. It may be inferred that the six abovementioned mutations influence directly or indirectly the peroxidase activity level without affecting the genes which code for the peroxidase isozymes themselves. Parallels between the mutant effects on specific peroxidase bands and hormonally mediated control of the peroxidase isozymes are discussed. 相似文献

The somatic chromosome numbers 2n = 12 in S. macrantha, S. coerulescens and 2n = 24 in S. simplicuscula were determined, additionally the contradictory chromosome numbers of S. bispinosa (2n = 12, 13, 14, 24) and S. pachycarpa (2n 12, 14) were determined as 2n = 24 and 2n = 14, respectively. The number of 5S rDNA sites in chromosome pair 1 was highly conserved in all the diploid and tetraploid species studied irrespective of their geographic distribution, suggesting that all diploid and tetraploid species/cytotypes of Sesbania analyzed in the present study are in close proximity. Cytogenetic mapping of the 45S multi-gene family was also carried out using fluorescence in situ hybridization. 45S rDNA was consistently located on short or long arms of two sub-metacentric chromosome pairs except on one chromosome pair in S. macrantha and on three chromosome pairs in S. bispinosa and S. cannabina. Out of these nine species, we observed the homogenization of intergenic spacer in six species and find only one spacer length variant (slv) located on one to three chromosome loci. However, three of the species were observed to have two slvs located on two different chromosomes. The species were grouped as per their evolutionary relationship on the basis of the results of the present study. 相似文献

Distribution of Mitomycin C-induced damage in human chromosomes with special reference to regions of repetitive DNA 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
C. A. Bourgeois 《Chromosoma》1974,48(2):203-211
The distribution of gaps, breaks, exchanges and other effects induced by Mitomycin C on human chromosomes was analysed to examine the possibility of a correlation between chromosome lesions and regions of repetitive DNA. Homologous and non-homologous exchanges between chromosomes Nos. 1, 9 and 16, and also between and with the acrocentric chromosomes were more frequent than expected, but breaks and gaps appeared to be located randomly with regard to chromosome light and dark bands. 相似文献
