Interspecific somatic hybrids between Solanum bulbocastanum and S. tuberosum and their haploidization for potato breeding. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Protoplast fusion between incongruent Solanum bulbocastanum and S. tuberosum haploids was accomplished to produce hybrids combining elite traits from both parents. We identified 11 somatic hybrids out of 42 regenerants analyzed through ISSR markers. Some

Four Loci on Abnormal Chromosome 10 Contribute to Meiotic Drive in Maize [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2003
Abstract We provide a genetic analysis of the meiotic drive system on maize abnormal chromosome 10 (Ab10) that causes preferential segregation of specific chromosomal regions to the reproductive megaspore. The data indicate that at least four chromosomal regions contribute to meiotic drive, each providing distinct functions that can be ...

Conditional inactivation of the DNA damage response gene Hus1 in mouse testis reveals separable roles for components of the RAD9-RAD1-HUS1 complex in meiotic chromosome maintenance. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
The RAD9-RAD1-HUS1 (9-1-1) complex is a heterotrimeric PCNA-like clamp that responds to DNA damage in somatic cells by promoting DNA repair as well as ATR-dependent DNA damage checkpoint signaling.

Melatonin Protects Against Mdivi-1-Induced Abnormal Spindle Assembly and Mitochondrial Superoxide Production During Porcine Oocyte Maturation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1) reportedly provides a close connection between oocyte maturation and mitochondrial function in pigs. N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine (melatonin) is known to be a representative antioxidant with the ability to ...

DNA double strand breaks but not interstrand crosslinks prevent progress through meiosis in fully grown mouse oocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
There is some interest in how mammalian oocytes respond to different types of DNA damage because of the increasing expectation of fertility preservation in women undergoing chemotherapy.

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Meiotic behavior and its implications on the reproductive success of Arnebia euchroma (Royle ex Benth.) I.M.Johnst. (Boraginaceae), an important medicinal plant of Trans-Himalaya

open access: yesCaryologia
The present study reports the chromosome number, meiotic behavior and its relation with pollen fertility and seed set of Arnebia euchroma (Royle ex Benth.) I.M.Johnst. The species shows a chromosome count of 2n = 2x = 14.

Roles of Meiotic Defects in Pathogenesis of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

open access: yesReproductive and Developmental Medicine, 2017
A matured oocyte has experienced three critical division stages: (1) proliferation in early fetal stage, (2) meiotic arrest at diplotene of prophase I, and (3) meiotic resumption and extrusion of the first polar body.

Porcine oocyte maturation in vitro : role of cAMP and oocyte-secreted factors: a practical approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Polyspermy or the penetration of more than one sperm cell remains a problem during porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF). After in vitro culture of porcine zygotes, only a low percentage of blastocysts develop and their quality is inferior to that of in ...

Meiotic abnormalities in patients bearing complete AZFc deletion of Y chromosome [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Reproduction, 2007
We studied meiosis in three infertile patients presenting complete AZFc microdeletion and three controls.Primary spermatocytes were immunolabeled with SCP3, BRCA1 and gammaH2AX. We quantified the leptotene, zygotene and pachytene stages, and pachytene abnormalities: asynapsis and fragmented and dotted synaptonemal complexes (SCs).SCP3 level was ...
