Distribution and molecular composition of heterochromatin in the holocentric chromosomes of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

open access: yesGenetica, 2010
In order to study the structure of holocentric chromosomes in aphids, the localization and the composition of Rhopalosiphum padi heterochromatin and rDNA genes have been evaluated at cytogenetic and molecular level.

Segregation of holocentric chromosomes at meiosis in the nematode,Caenorhabditis elegans

Chromosome Research, 1993
The meiotic segregation of the holocentric chromosomes of Caenorhabditis elegans in both spermatogenesis and oogenesis is described. The extended kinetochore typical of the mitotic chromosome could not be differentiated on meiotic bivalents; instead microtubules appeared to project into the chromatin.

Do holocentric chromosomes represent an evolutionary advantage? A study of paired analyses of diversification rates of lineages with holocentric chromosomes and their monocentric closest relatives

Chromosome Research, 2017
Despite most of the cytogenetic research is focused on monocentric chromosomes, chromosomes with kinetochoric activity localized in a single centromere, several studies have been centered on holocentric chromosomes which have diffuse kinetochoric activity along the chromosomes.

Are rice chromosomes components of a holocentric chromosome ancestor?

Plant Molecular Biology, 1997
Comparative genomics reveals that cereal genomes are composed of similar genomic building blocks (linkage blocks). By stacking these blocks in a unique order, it is possible to construct a single ancestral 'chromosome' which can be cleaved to give the basic structure of the 56 different chromosomes found in wheat, rice, maize, sorghum, millet and ...

X-linked heterochromatin distribution in the holocentric chromosomes of the green apple aphid Aphis pomi

open access: yesGenetica, 2005
Chromatin organization in the holocentric chromosomes of the green apple aphid Aphis pomi has been investigated at a cytological level after C-banding, NOR, Giemsa, fluorochrome staining and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH).

The Phylogenetic Origins and Evolutionary History of Holocentric Chromosomes

Systematic Botany, 2016
In eukaryotes, we can recognize two kinds of chromosomes, based on the location of the kinetochores. The majority of eukaryotes have monocentric chromosomes, in which kinetochoric activity is concentrated in a single locus. In several unrelated eukaryotic lineages, chromosomes are holocentric, having diffuse centromeric / kinetochoric activity along ...

Chromosomal evolution in Cryptangieae Benth. (Cyperaceae): Evidence of holocentrism and pseudomonads

Protoplasma, 2023
Cryptangieae has recently been revised based on morphology and molecular phylogeny, but cytogenetic data is still scarce. We conducted this study with the aim of investigating the occurrence of holocentric chromosomes and pseudomonads, as well as understanding the mode of chromosomal evolution in the tribe.

Sex-specific recombination landscape in a species with holocentric chromosomes

open access: yesGenetics
Abstract The rate and chromosomal positioning of meiotic recombination significantly affects the distribution of the genetic diversity in eukaryotic genomes. Many studies have revealed sex-specific recombination patterns, with male recombination typically biased toward chromosome ends, while female recombination is more evenly ...

Holocentric chromosomes may be an apomorphy of Droseraceae

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2018
Holocentric chromosomes have evolved in various plant and animal taxa, which suggests they may confer a selective advantage in certain conditions, yet their adaptive potential has scarcely been studied. One of the reasons may reside in our insufficient knowledge of the phylogenetic distribution of holocentric chromosomes across eukaryotic phylogeny. In

Cytogenetic characterization of the holocentric chromosomes in the aphids Myzus varians and Myzus cerasi

open access: yesCaryologia, 1999
Cytogenetic investigations on the holocentric chromosomes of Myzus varians and Myzus cerasi have been carried out using silver staining and C-banding followed by chromomycin A3 (CMA3) and DAPI staining in order to improve our knowledge of these pest crop
