Representatives of two major repetitive DNA sequence families from the diploid Brassica species B. campestris and B. oleracea were isolated, sequenced and localized to chromosomes by in situ hybridization. Both sequences were located near the centromeres of many chromosome pairs in both diploid species, but major sites of the two probes were all on different chromosome pairs. Such chromosome specificity is unusual for plant paracentromeric repetitive DNA. Reduction of stringency of hybridization gave centromeric hybridization sites on more chromosomes, indicating that there are divergent sequences present on other chromosomes. In tetraploid species derived from the diploids, the number of hybridization sites was different from the sum of the diploid ancestors, and some chromosomes had both sequences, indicating relatively rapid homogenization and copy number evolution since the origin of the tetraploid species. 相似文献

A novel satellite DNA family (called MSAT-2570) was isolated and characterized from the rodent Microtus chrotorrhinus. With a length of 2,570 bp the repeat unit is among the largest yet reported in mammals and comprises a series of short direct and inverted repeats. These repeat motifs may prevent nucleosome formation or represent an endless source of genetic variation. Restriction enzyme digestion using the two pairs of isoschizomers HpaII/MspI and MboI/Sau3AI demonstrated tissue specific differences in satellite DNA methylation that may reflect variable chromatin conformation or differences in patterns of gene expression. The sex chromosomes of M. chrotorrhinus are unusually large in size among mammals, comprising 15%–20% of the karyotype and containing large blocks of heterochromatin. In situ hybridization of the satellite DNa revealed chromosomal localization predominantly to sex chromosome heterochromatin. A survey of related rodents including three congeneric species also with giant sized sex chromosomes demonstrated that MSAT-2570 is present only in the genome of M. chrotorrhinus. However, another previously reported satellite DNA also isolated from M. chrotorrhinus has been shown to reside on sex chromosome heterochromatin in one of the other three species, indicating that these giant blocks of heterochromatin are complex in structure and comprise multiple, unrelatined satellite DNA families. 相似文献

The karyotype and major ribosomal sites as revealed using silver staining of Anatolian leuciscine cyprinid fish Acanthobrama marmid were studied. The diploid chromosome number was invariably 2n = 50. Karyotype consisted of eight pairs of metacentric, 13 pairs of submetacentric and four pairs of subtelocentric to acrocentric
chromosomes. The largest chromosome pair of the complement was subtelo-to acrocentric characteristically, which is a characteristic
cytotaxonomic marker for representatives of the cyprinid lineage Leuciscinae. The nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) were
detected in the telomeres of two pairs of medium sized submeta-to subtelocentric chromosomes. No heteromorphic sex chromosomes
were found. The karyotype pattern of A. marmid is nearly identical to that found in most other representatives of the Eurasian leuciscine cyprinids, while the multiple
NOR phenotype appears to be more derived as opposed to a uniform one, ubiquitous in this group. 相似文献

Karyotypes of Diplomystes composensis and Diplomystes nahuelbutaensis were the same diploid number (n= 56).The chromosome formula for D. composensis was 16 metacentric + 24 submetacentric + 8 subtelocentric + 8 telocentric chromosomes and for D. nahuelbutaensis was 14 metacentric + 26 submetacentric + 8 subtelocentric +8 telocentric chromosomes. In contrast, the differences in the chromosomal C-banding patterns between these species was large. For instance, chromosome pairs 5,6, and 7 of D. nahuelbutaensis showed heterochromatic centromeres and pairs 23, 24, 27, and 28 were entirely heterochromotic. Diplomystes composensis showed conspicuous C-banded blocks in pairs 7, 24, and 25 (chromosome pair 7 had one heterochromatic arm, chromosome pair 24 was entirely heterochromatic, and chromosome pair 25 had heterochromatin close to centromere). Comparison with other ostariophysan karyotypes (e.g. gymnotiforms, characiforms, and cypriniforms), does not allow any conclusions about the ploesiomorphic catfish condition, because the karyotypes of the outgroups are too variable. A synapomorphy shared by characiforms, gymnotiforms, and diplomystid catfishes is the presence of more metacentric to submetacentric than substelocentric to telocentric chromosomes. Cypriniforms are more primitive because they have more subtelocentric to telocentric than metacentric to submetacentric chromosomes. 相似文献

Genomic in situhybridization (GISH) to root-tip cells at mitotic metaphase, using genomic DNA probes from Thinopyrum intermedium and Pseudoroegneria strigosa, was used to examine the genomic constitution of Th. intermedium, the 56-chromosome partial amphiploid to wheat called Zhong 5 and disease-resistant derivatives of Zhong 5, in a wheat background.
Evidence from GISH indicated that Th. intermedium contained seven pairs of St, seven JS and 21 J chromosomes; three pairs of Th. intermedium chromosomes with satellites in their short arms belonging to the St, J, J genomes and homoeologous groups 1, 1, and 5 respectively.
GISH results using different materials and different probes showed that seven pairs of added Th. intermedium chromosomes in Zhong 5 included three pairs of St chromosomes, two pairs of JS chromosomes and two pairs of St-JS reciprocal tanslocation chromosomes. A pair of chromosomes, which substituted a pair of wheat chromosomes in Yi 4212 and
in HG 295 and was added to 21 pairs of wheat chromosomes in the disomic additions Z1, Z2 and Z6, conferred BYDV-resistance
and was identical to a pair of St-JS tanslocation chromosomes (StJS) in Zhong 5. The StJS chromosome had a special GISH signal pattern and could be easily distinguished from other added chromosomes in Zhong 5; it
has not yet been possible to locate the BYDV-resistant gene(s) of this translocated chromosome either in the St chromosome
portion belonging to homoeologous group 2 or in the JS chromosome portion whose homoeologous group relationship is still uncertain. Among 22 chromosome pairs in disomic addition
line Z3, the added chromosome pair had satellites and belonged to the St genome and homoeologous group 1. Disomic addition
line Z4 carried a pair of added chromosomes which was composed of a group-7 JS chromosome translocated with a wheat chromosome; this chromosome was different to 7 Ai-1, but was identical to 7 Ai-2. The
leaf rust and stem rust resistance genes were located in the distal region of the long arm, whereas the stripe rust resistance
gene(s) was located in the short arm or in the proximal region of the long arm of 7 Ai-2. A pair of JS-wheat translocation chromosomes, which originated from the WJS chromosomes in Z4, was added to the disomic addition line Z5; the added chromosomes of Z5 carried leaf and stem rust resistance
but not stripe rust resistance; Z5 is a potentially useful source for rust resistance genes in wheat breeding and for cloning
these novel rust-resistant genes. GISH analysis using the St genome as a probe has proved advantageous in identifying alien
Th. intermedium in wheat.

The field vole (Microtus agrestis) is characterised by extremely large blocks of heterochromatin on both the X and Y chromosome. Some other Microtus also have blocks of heterochromatin on their sex chromosomes but not as extensive and always of independent origin from the heterochromatic expansion found in M. agrestis. Coupled with evidence of geographic variation in large heterochromatic blocks within other species (e.g. in the western hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus), it might be expected that field voles would show substantial variation in size and disposition of the sex chromosome heterochromatin. In fact, only minor variation has been described up to now. Those studies conducted previously were largely on field voles from central and northern Europe. Here, we describe the karyotype of field voles from Portugal, of interest because recent molecular studies have shown field voles from western Iberia to be a separate evolutionary unit that might be considered a cryptic species, distinct from populations further to the east. The two Portuguese field voles (one female, one male) that we examined also had essentially the same karyotype as seen in other field voles, including the giant sex chromosomes, but with small differences in the structure of the Y chromosome from that described previously. The finding that field voles throughout Europe show relatively little variation in their giant sex chromosomes is consistent with molecular data which suggest a recent origin for this complex of species/near-species. 相似文献

A procedure for obtaining G-bands on chromosomes of mammals is outlined. The procedure was utilized in an investigation of the idiogram and banding pattern of the mitotic chromosomes of the cotton rat, Sigmodon arizonae. The diploid number of this species is 22, and each pair of homologues is easily separated on the basis of size, centromeric position, and banding pattern. The autosomes are represented by four pairs of large submetacentric chromosomes, three pairs of medium to small submetacentric chromosomes, two pairs of large subtelocentric chromosomes and one pair of small acrocentric chromosomes. The X chromosome is acrocentric and averages from 5.42% to 5.46% of the haploid female complement. The Y chromosome is a minute acrocentric and easily separated from the smallest acrocentric autosome. The usefulnes of Sigmodon arizonae as a laboratory animal for cytogenetic studies is substantiated. 相似文献

A karyological study was carried out in order to compared the chromosome numbers, chromosome morphologies and karyotypes of the oriental liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis (Trematoda: Opisthorchiidae), collected from Korea and China. Chromosome preparations were made by means of air-drying method. The chromosome number was 2n = 56 in both Korean and Chinese flukes, and chromosomes were divided into two groups based on this size; consisting of 8 pairs of large and 20 pairs of small chromosomes. However, the karyotypes showed some differences between Korean and Chinese flukes. The karyotype of liver flukes from Korea consisted of three metacentric pairs, one meta-/submetacentric pair, 16 submetacentric pairs and eight subtelocentric pairs of chromosomes. On the other hand, liver flukes from China consisted of two metacentric pairs, two meta-/submetacentric pairs, 16 submetacentric pairs and eight subtelocentric pairs of chromosomes. 相似文献

The chromosomes (2n=24) ofPinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. andP. thunbergii Parl. collected from several localities were analyzed on their fluorescent banding patterns by sequential staining with the
base specifically binding fluorochromes, CMA and DAPI. In both species, the CMA-bands were localized at the proximal and/or
interstitial regions of most of the chromosomes. The CMA-banding pattern was constant among the cells in a plant and was specific
to respective species with a few variations. After the CMA and DAPI stainings each chromosome was identified individually.
The fluorescent banding patterns of the two species were somewhat similar, but were diferent with respect to in some characters.Pinus thunbergii had two pairs of metacentric chromosomes without CMA-band and two pairs of metacentric chromosomes with an additional thin
CMA-band at the interstitial region. The 10th and 11th pairs of chromosomes of both species, which showed similarity in interstitial
CMA and DAPI banding and chromosome shape, had the proximal CMA-bands inP. densiflora and DAPI-band inP. thunbergii. The interspecific F1 hybrid between the two species could easily be identified by the fluorescent banding method. 相似文献

Karyology and karyotype analysis were carried out on freshwater planarian populations of the Dugesia gonocephala group. The
strains studied were all diploid with chromosomic number 2n = 16; n = 8. They came from 12 sites mainly localized on the west of the island of Sardinia. Three karyotypes indicated with the
letters A, B and C were found in which eight homomorphic pairs of chromosomes were easily identified. In karyotype A all chromosomes
are metacentric. Ten populations of the twelve examined showed this karyotype which appears to be the most common. In karyotype
B the seventh pair of chromosomes is submetacentric. This karyotype is quite common having been previously found in another
eight Sardinian localities. Karyotype C differs from the others in having submetacentric third and seventh pairs of the chromosome
complement. It was found in only one locality. The differences observed between these three karyotypes could be interpreted
either as sign of differentiation at species level, or as an intraspecific variation due to chromosome mutations (pericentric
inversions).

The 5S ribosomal RNA genes were mapped to mitotic chromosomes of Arabidopsis thaliana by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). In the ecotype Landsberg erecta, hybridization signals appeared on three pairs of chromosomes, two of which were metacentric and the other acrocentric. Hybridization signals on one pair of metacentric chromosomes were much stronger than those on the acrocentric and the other pair of metacentric chromosomes, probably reflecting the number of copies of the genes on the chromosomes. Other ecotypes, Columbia and Wassilewskija, had similar chromosomal distribution of the genes, but the hybridization signals on one pair of metacentric chromosomes were very weak, and detectable only in chromosomes prepared from young flower buds. The chromosomes and arms carrying the 5S rDNA were identified by multi-color FISH with cosmid clones and a centromeric 180 bp repeat as co-probes. The metacentric chromosome 5 and its L arm carries the largest cluster of the genes, and the short arm of acrocentric chromosome 4 carries a small cluster in all three ecotypes. Chromosome 3 had another small cluster of 5S rRNA genes on its L arm. Chromosomes 1 and 2 had no 5S rDNA cluster, but they are morphologically distinguishable; chromosome 1 is metacentric and 2 acrocentric. Using the 5S rDNA as a probe, therefore, all chromosomes of A. thaliana could be identified by FISH. Chromosome 1 is large and metacentric; chromosome 2 is acrocentric carrying 18S-5.8S-25S rDNA clusters on its short arm; chromosome 3 is metacentric carrying a small cluster of 5S rDNA genes on its L arm; chromosome 4 is acrocentric carrying both 18S-5.8S-25S and 5S rDNAs on its short (L) arm; and chromosome 5 is metacentric carrying a large cluster of 5S rDNA on its L arm. 相似文献

Summary The cotyledon cells ofPisum sativum have high DNA contents. By appropriate culture techniques, some of these cells can be triggered into division. Two types of dividing nuclei were seen. Firstly those that were polyploid with metaphases containing chromosome numbers ranging in value from 4 x to 32 x. Included among these were unexpected numbers equivalent to 12 x and 14 x. Secondly there were cells containing giant polytene chromosomes and these progressed from prophase to a metaphase where the polytene chromosomes separated into constituent single chromosomes. 相似文献

Summary The chromosomes of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus, were studied using cultured peripheral leukocytes, tissue cells and direct preparation of male germ cells.The diploid number was found to be 64 in the blood and tissue cells, the haploid number was 32 in the testicular preparations.The autosomes can be divided into six groups, according to their size and the position of the centromere. Group A contains two pairs of large metacentrics, Groups B and C contain together 18 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes, the distinguishing feature being a gradual decrease in size. Group D is composed of six pairs of small metacentric chromosomes with almost medial centromeres. One prominentld satellited chromosome constitutes a ready marker element of this groud and of the karyotype. It is not entirely certain whether this satellitey chromosome has a homologue or not. Five pairs of small acrocentrics constitute Group E. These are almost indistinguishable from one another.Buccal smears showed a typical sex chromatin body in interphase nuclei of epithelial cells from female animals similar to that observed in some other mammals. A sex difference was also noted on examination of peripheral blood films, typical drumsticks being present on polymorphonuclear leukocytes from female armadillos. 相似文献

Multinucleate protoplasts were produced from meiotic cells at the zygotene and pachytene stages in a lily andTrillium, and their meiotic divisions were followed during subsequent culture. In each multinucleate, a complete synchrony of nuclear
division was maintained throughout the meiotic process, and chromosome behavior appeared normal up to the metaphase stage.
In most dinucleates, chromosome segregation movement was organized in a common spindle, and the daughter nuclei at the telophase
appeared to envelope each other in the newly formed nuclear membrane. The cell was divided into two daughter cells by a common
cell plate. Trinucleates were similarly converted to two cells with a hexaploid number of chromosomes. Some of the di- and
trinucleates subsequently completed the second meiotic division with the formation of typical tetrad configurations. In giant
cells with more than several nuclei, chromosomes separated at random but reaggregated into one giant resting nucleus, with
no later cytokinesis. The rate of meiotic development in multinucleates was relatively slower in cells which contained greater
numbers of nuclei. 相似文献

Comparative genomic studies are revealing that, in sharp contrast with the strong stability found in birds and mammals, sex determination mechanisms are surprisingly labile in cold‐blooded vertebrates, with frequent transitions between different pairs of sex chromosomes. It was recently suggested that, in context of this high turnover, some chromosome pairs might be more likely than others to be co‐opted as sex chromosomes. Empirical support, however, is still very limited. Here we show that sex‐linked markers from three highly divergent groups of anurans map to Xenopus tropicalis scaffold 1, a large part of which is homologous to the avian sex chromosome. Accordingly, the bird sex determination gene DMRT1, known to play a key role in sex differentiation across many animal lineages, is sex linked in all three groups. Our data provide strong support for the idea that some chromosome pairs are more likely than others to be co‐opted as sex chromosomes because they harbor key genes from the sex determination pathway. 相似文献

The karyotype and the C-banding pattern in two species ofHexastylis andAsarum epigynum were analysed in detail, and the results obtained were compared with those of the other species ofAsarum, Asiasarum andHeterotropa previously reported.
The present results were partially different from the previous reports related to the karyotypes of these species. The karyotype
observed in two species ofHexastylis (2n=26) was represented by ten pairs of metacentric chromosomes and three pairs of small subtelocentric chromosomes, which
is very similar to that ofAsiasarum in eastern Asia. The C-banding patterns ofHexastylis andAsiasarum, however, were clearly different from each other. A striking difference was found in one of the three pairs of small subtelocentric
chromosomes. A Formosan speciesAsarum epigynum had the somatic chromosome number 2n=12 and a highly asymmetrical karyotype composed of mainly subtelocentric chromosomes.
These karyological features were remarkably different from those of the other groups inAsarum s.l. 相似文献

The karyotype of one female Brachyteles arachinoides (E. Geoffroy, 1806) was studied. The specimen exhibited 62 chromosomes, which could be arranged in three clearly distinguishable groups: the first one including 5 pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes, the second one including 8 pairs of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes and the third one including 18 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes. The X chromosome pair could not be identified.This study was supported by grants from CNPq (SIP 04/011), Brazil. 相似文献

Summary The acrocentric chromosomes of 18 unrelated individuals were analyzed by sequential staining by the chromomycin A3/methyl green R-banding technique to identify the chromosomes, followed by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique to detect 5-methylcytosine (5MeC)-rich DNA. The short arms of both chromosomes 15 usually (92% of the chromosomes) had a large collection of 5MeC-rich DNA, which was always rich in AT base pairs. Much less commonly (11% of the possible occasions), a collection of 5MeC-rich DNA was seen on the short arm of a chromosome 13, 14, 21 or 22, and this DNA was always rich in GC base pairs. Sequential distamycin A/DAPI (DA/DAPI) and R-banding studies were carried out in 13 of these 18 individuals. There was bright DA/DAPI fluorescence of the 5MeC-rich region on the short arm of chromosome 15 but not on that of any other acrocentric chromosome. One implication of these findings is that bisatellited or other abnormal chromosomes that are DA/DAPI negative and 5MeC positive cannot be derived from number 15. In the case of a de novo chromosome of this type, the specific origin from any other acrocentric chromosome could be demonstrated by examining 5MeC-binding of the parental chromosomes. 相似文献

The karyotype of the snow sculpin Myoxocephalus brandti, 2n = 44, NF = 46, from Peter the Great Bay was studied. Two-armed chromosomes were presented by one pair of metacentric chromosomes of medium size; one-armed chromosomes included two pairs of large subtelocentric chromosomes and a pair of large acrocentric chromosomes. Ag-NOR-staining in the telomere vicinity revealed nucleolus-organizing regions in one metacentric chromosome and in one medium size acrocentric chromosome in one of the fishes, in two homological small acrocentric chromosomes in three fishes, and in one acrocentric chromosome of average size in six fishes. No difference between the male and female karyotypes and any type of variability was revealed. The karyotypes of the snow sculpin M. brandti and the frog sculpin M. stelleri were compared. Their distinctions and similarities were displayed.Original Russian Text Copyright ¢ 2005 by Biologiya Morya, Ryazanova. 相似文献
