Chromosome Evolution in Cyperales [PDF]
Karyotypic evolution is a prominent feature in the diversification of many plants and animals, yet the role that chromosomal changes play in the process of diversification is still debated.

Silkworm ovary-derived BmN4 cells rely on chromatin-induced spindle assembly to form microtubule-based square mitotic spindles that ensure accurate segregation of holocentric chromosomes during cell division.

Chromosome numbers in the Triatominae (Hemiptera-Reduviidae): a review
The chromosome numbers of 46 out of the 122 currently recognized species of Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) are summarized. We present the number of autosomes, the sex mechanism and the first reference for each karyotype.

The Role of Satellite DNAs in Genome Architecture and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Crambidae Moths
Tandem repeats are important parts of eukaryotic genomes being crucial e.g., for centromere and telomere function and chromatin modulation. In Lepidoptera, knowledge of tandem repeats is very limited despite the growing number of sequenced genomes.

The vanishing clone: karyotypic evidence for extensive intraclonal genetic variation in the peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae (Hemiptera:Aphididae) [PDF]
Analysis of holocentric mitotic metaphase chromosomes of the peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) clone 33H revealed different chromosome numbers, ranging from 12 to 17 within each embryo, in contrast to the standard karyotype of this species (2n ...

AbstractGeographic isolation and chromosome evolution are two of the major drivers of diversification in eukaryotes in general, and specifically, in plants. On one hand, range shifts induced by Pleistocene glacial oscillations deeply shaped the evolutionary trajectories of species in the Northern Hemisphere.

Genomic and cytogenetic localization of the carotenoid genes in the aphid genome [PDF]
Data published in the scientific literature suggests a possible link between chromosomal rearrangements involving autosomes 1 and 3 and the presence of red morphs in the peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer).

Numerical variations in species exhibiting holocentric chromosomes: a nomenclatural proposal [PDF]
SUMMARYThis article reviews the types of numerical variation in chromosomes, with special emphasis on those organisms which have holocentric chromosomes. Terminological aspects are discussed with reference to monocentric as well as holocentric chromosomes. The term symploidy (partial or total) is proposed to include ploidy levels generated by fusion of

Characterization of Non-LTR Retrotransposable TRAS Elements in the Aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum and Myzus persicae (Aphididae, Hemiptera) [PDF]
A non-LTR TRAS retrotransposon (identified as TRASAp1) has been amplified in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum and its presence has been assessed also in the peach potato aphid Myzus persicae.

We analysed the chromosome complement and male meiosis in a natural population of Mepraia gajardoi (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae). The normal karyotype of this species is 20 autosomes plus X1X2Y in males and X1X1X2X2 in females. We confirmed that M.
