Cytogenetic studies in some species of Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae): a review emphasizing Brazilian species

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008
The Passifloraceae is represented by species of tropical and subtropical origin. The Passiflora is the richest genus with approximately 450 species, 200 of them being native to Brazil. Recent karyological studies have reported the basic chromosome number

Palynology and meiotic behavior of Genipa americana L., a species native to the Amazon

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2023
Genipa americana L., commonly known as genipap, belongs to the Rubiaceae family. This study aimed to describe the pollen morphology of the species, evaluate its meiotic behavior and pollen viability, and provide information to help the maintenance and ...

Meiotic behavior and pollen fertility in triploid and tetraploid natural populations of Campuloclinium macrocephalum (Eupatorieae, Asteraceae)

open access: yesPlant Systematics and Evolution, 2014
Campuloclinium macrocephalum DC. is a perennial herb widely distributed in the New World and introduced in South Africa, where it is commonly called “pompom weed”.

Phenotypic, cytogenetic and spike fertility characterization of a population of male-sterile triticale

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2013
Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) is a good cereal for production of flour and feed. A segregating population of triticale was developed from a male-sterile (MS) plant. To determine whether this new source of male sterility in triticale is appropriate

Meiosis-specific loading of the centromere-specific histone CENH3 in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2011
Centromere behavior is specialized in meiosis I, so that sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes are pulled toward the same side of the spindle (through kinetochore mono-orientation) and chromosome number is reduced.

Meiotic Behaviors of Allotetraploid Citrus Drive the Interspecific Recombination Landscape, the Genetic Structures, and Traits Inheritance in Tetrazyg Progenies Aiming to Select New Rootstocks

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Sexual breeding at the tetraploid level is a promising strategy for rootstock breeding in citrus. Due to the interspecific origin of most of the conventional diploid citrus rootstocks that produced the tetraploid germplasm, the optimization of this ...

Dynamics and control of sister kinetochore behavior during the meiotic divisions in Drosophila spermatocytes

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
Sister kinetochores are connected to the same spindle pole during meiosis I and to opposite poles during meiosis II. The molecular mechanisms controlling the distinct behavior of sister kinetochores during the two meiotic divisions are poorly understood.

The Development and Meiotic Behavior of Asymmetrical Isochromosomes in Wheat [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1997
To determine which segments of a chromosome arm are responsible for the initiation of chiasmate pairing in meiosis, a series of novel isochromosomes was developed in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). These isochromosomes are deficient for different terminal segments in the two arms.

Unraveling the meiotic puzzle: chromosome count, meiotic behaviour, and reproductive challenges in Phlomis cashmeriana Royle ex Benth. from the Kashmir Himalaya

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science
Meiotic stability is crucial for maintaining reproductive success and genetic diversity in plants, especially in montane regions like the Himalaya, where fluctuating environmental conditions can disrupt normal chromosome behavior.

A sex-ratio meiotic drive system in Drosophila simulans. II: an X-linked distorter. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2007
The evolution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes creates a genetic condition favoring the invasion of sex-ratio meiotic drive elements, resulting in the biased transmission of one sex chromosome over the other, in violation of Mendel's first law.
