Localization of 18S ribosomal genes in suckermouth armoured catfishes Loricariidae (Teleostei, Siluriformes) with discussion on the Ag-NOR evolution. [PDF]
The family Loricariidae with about 690 species divided into six subfamilies, is one of the world’s largest fish families. Cytogenetic studies conducted in the family showed that among 90 species analyzed the diploid number ranges from 2n=38 in Ancistrus ...

Quantification of Ag-NOR proteins using Ag-NOR staining on western blots. [PDF]
Ribosomal genes are associated with a set of silver-stained nucleolar proteins, the Ag-NOR proteins, whose amount is directly related to the duration of the cell cycle. Quantification of Ag-NOR proteins by image analysis is presently used to evaluate the rate of proliferation of cancer cells and nucleolar activity.

Ag-NOR proteins and rDNA transcriptional activity in plant cells. [PDF]
In this work we used Allium cepa root meristem cells in actively growing conditions and under treatment with the protein synthesis inhibitors cycloheximide (CHM) and puromycin. Morphological and quantitative results indicate that these drugs induce dramatic alterations in nucleolar structure reflected by a decrease of nucleolar size, much more evident

Ag‐NOR" proteins are present when transcription is impaired
The use of nucleolar silver staining in plant cells in conditions of impaired transcription, either natural (quiescent cells) or induced (actinomycin D, ethidium bromide and cordycepin treatments), shows that nucleoli with very low transcription rates, compared with controls, contain similar amounts of argyrophilic proteins, as well as the same ...

Interindividual and intercellular polymorphisms of Ag-NOR pattern in mink embryo siblings [PDF]
La variabilite de la coloration a l'argent des regions des organisateurs nucleolaires (Ag-NOR) a ete etudiee sur des hepatocytes de 9 embryons de vison, germains de portee et incluant une paire de jumeaux monochorioniques, presumes monozygotes. A la fois le nombre des Ag-NOR et la taille moyenne des taches d'argent par cellule se sont trouves etre ...

Cytogenetics and sperm ultrastructure of Atelopus spumarius (Anura, Bufonidae) from the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
The current taxonomy of most Atelopus species is based on morphological and color data only. Recent studies suggest that A. spumarius may represent a species complex assigned under the same name.

Chromosome complement, C-banding, Ag-NOR and replication banding in the zebrafishDanio reio
The chromosome complement of Danio rerio was investigated by Giemsa staining and C-banding, Ag-NORs and replication banding. The diploid number of this species is 2n = 50 and the arm number (NF) = 100. Constitutive heterochromatin was located at the centromeric position of all chromosome pairs.
