Interspecific hybridization is a significant plant evolutionary process and, concomitantly, a frequently used method to broaden the genetic variability of species and genetically improve crops. However, in distant crosses, many prezygotic and postzygotic

Painting of human chromosomes with probes generated from hybrid cell lines by PCR with Alu and L1 primers [PDF]
Specific amplification of human sequences of up to several kb length has recently been accomplished in man-hamster and man-mouse somatic hybrid cell DNA by IRS-PCR (interspersed repetitive sequence — polymerase chain reaction).

Extinction of gene expression in somatic cell hybrids. a reflection of important regulatory mechanisms? [PDF]
Extinction in somatic cell hybrids is a multifactorial process that leads to loss of cell-type-specific gene expression. The underlying mechanisms are thought to mirror, at least in part, the repertoire of regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian cell

Germinal and somatic trisomy 21 mosaicism : how common is it, what are the implications for individual carriers and how does it come about? [PDF]
It is well known that varying degrees of mosaicism for Trisomy 21, primarily a combination of normal and Trisomy 21 cells within individual tissues, may exist in the human population. This involves both Trisomy 21 mosaicism occurring in the germ line and

Review on Somatic Hybridization and Its Role in Crop Improvement [PDF]
Somatic hybridization is one of the most important uses of protoplast culture. This is particularly significant for hybridization between species or genera, which cannot be made to cross by conventional methods of sexual hybridization. The aim of somatic

The use of molecular cytogenetic methods in the investigation of distant potato hybrids
This paper reviews the results of studies of interspecies hybridization, polyploidization, as well as phylogenetic relationships of Solanum species and members of closely related taxa by such molecular cytogenetic techniques as genomic (GISH) and ...

Somatic hybridization is performed to obtain significant cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines, whose CMS genes are derived either from the transfer of sterile genes from the mitochondrial genome of donor parent to the counterpart of receptor or ...

Effect of hybridization on somatic mutations and genomic rearrangements in plants [PDF]
Hybridization has been routinely practiced in agriculture to enhance the crop yield. Principally, it can cause hybrid vigor where hybrid plants display increased size, biomass, fertility, and resistance to diseases, when compared to their parents. During
