Meiotic abnormalities in infertile males [PDF]
Meiotic anomalies, as reviewed here, are synaptic chromosome abnormalities, limited to germ cells that cannot be detected through the study of the karyotype. Although the importance of synaptic errors has been underestimated for many years, their presence is related to many cases of human male infertility.

Recurrence of multiple meiotic abnormalities in maize genotypes from the same origin and their influence on productivity [PDF]
The frequency of meiotic abnormalities among single-, double- and three-way cross experimental hybrids and their parental inbred lines is studied. Among the sixteen inbred lines examined, fifteen originated from populations developed at the National ...

Chromosome numbers and meiotic behavior of some Paspalum accessions [PDF]
Chromosome number and meiotic behavior were evaluated in 36 Brazilian accessions of the grass Paspalum (which had never previously been analyzed) to determinate which accessions might be useful in interspecific hybridizations.

Meiotic analysis in induced tetraploids of Brachiaria decumbens Stapf [PDF]
The meiotic behavior of three tetraploid plants (2n=4x=36) originated from somatic chromosome duplication of sexually reproducing diploid plants of Brachiaria decumbens was evaluated. All the analyzed plants presented abnormalities related to polyploidy,

Use of a unique reporter cassette to examine 5´ to 3´ resection at a site specific DNA double-strand break during meiosis [PDF]
Meiotic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is initiated by the formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), which are created by Spoil protein.

Abnormal meiotic behavior in three species of Crotalaria [PDF]
The objective of this work was to compare the meiotic behavior and pollen grain viability of three species of Crotalaria. Slides for meiotic analysis were prepared by the air-drying technique. Pollen grain viability was measured by three staining procedures (Alexander's solution, tetrazolium chloride and fluorescein diacetate) and in vitro germination ...

“Meiotic abnormality in dominant genic male sterile Brassica napus” [PDF]
Rs1046AB is a dominant genic male sterile (DGMS) Brassica napus line derived from Yi-3A. Until now the molecular mechanism of its male sterility is still unknown. In this paper, cytological observations demonstrated that all cells in sterile plants contained condensed nuclei at the beginning stage of meiosis; this implied that meiotic cells were ...

Effects of 5α-dihydrotestosterone and 17β-estradiol on the mouse ovarian follicle development and oocyte maturation. [PDF]
We have previously reported that androstenedione induces abnormalities of follicle development and oocyte maturation in the mouse ovary. In granulosa cells of the ovarian follicle, androstenedione is aromatized to 17β-estradiol (E2). To determine whether

Apoptosis in mouse fetal and neonatal oocytes during meiotic prophase one [PDF]
Background The vast majority of oocytes formed in the fetal ovary do not survive beyond birth. Possible reasons for their loss include the elimination of non-viable genetic constitutions arising through meiosis, however, the ...
