Genome Size and Karyotype Studies in Five Species of Lantana (Verbenaceae)
Lantana species are an important component of the U.S. environmental horticulture industry. The most commonly produced and used species are L. camara and, on a smaller scale, L. montevidensis. Both were introduced to the United States from Central and/or

CHROMOSOME NUMBERS IN BROMELIACEAE [PDF]
Eighty‐three chromosome counts are reported for 72 taxa of the Bromeliaceae. Fifty‐eight of these counts are the first known chromosome number reports for their respective taxa. A model of chromosomal evolution in the Bromeliaceae (n = 25) is presented. The model is parsimonious and consistent with existing data on meiotic chromosome numbers within the

CENH3-GFP: a visual marker for gametophytic and somatic ploidy determination in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Background: The in vivo determination of the cell-specific chromosome number provides a valuable tool in several aspects of plant research. However, current techniques to determine the endosystemic ploidy level do not allow non-destructive, cell-specific

From Hi-C Contact Map to Three-dimensional Organization of Interphase Human Chromosomes [PDF]
The probability of two loci, separated by a certain genome length, being in contact can be inferred using the Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) method and related Hi-C experiments. How to go from the contact map, a matrix listing the mean contact probabilities between a large number of pairs of loci, to an ensemble of three-dimensional structures is

A surge of late-occurring meiotic double-strand breaks rescues synapsis abnormalities in spermatocytes of mice with hypomorphic expression of SPO11 [PDF]
Meiosis is the biological process that, after a cycle of DNA replication, halves the cellular chromosome complement, leading to the formation of haploid gametes.

Cytomolecular identification of individual wheat-wheat chromosome arm associations in wheat-rye hybrids [PDF]
Chromosome pairing in the meiotic metaphase I of wheatrye hybrids has been characterized by sequential genomic and fluorescent in situ hybridization allowing not only the discrimination of wheat and rye chromosomes, but also the identification of the
