Discovery of tetraploidy in a mammal [PDF]
The red viscacha rat is unaffected by having double the usual number of chromosomes. Polyploidy, or having more than a pair of each type of chromosome, is considered to be unlikely in mammals because it would disrupt the mechanism of dosage compensation that normally inactivates one X chromosome in females1.

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Isolation, molecular characterisation and mapping of four rose MLO orthologues
Powdery mildew is a major disease of economic importance in cut and pot roses. As an alternative to conventional resistance breeding strategies utilising single-dominant genes or QTLs, mildew resistance locus o (MLO)-based resistance might offer some ...

Selenium, selenoenzymes, oxidative stress and risk of neoplastic progression from Barrett's esophagus: results from biomarkers and genetic variants. [PDF]
Clinical trials have suggested a protective effect of selenium supplementation on the risk of esophageal cancer, which may be mediated through the antioxidant activity of selenoenzymes.

Array comparative genomic hybridization and flow cytometry analysis of spontaneous abortions and mors in utero samples [PDF]
Background: It is estimated that 10-15% of all clinically recognised pregnancies result in a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage. Previous studies have indicated that in up to 50% of first trimester miscarriages, chromosomal abnormalities can be ...

Reversible Tetraploidy as an Evolutionary Mechanism [PDF]
Polyploidization is reversible. Randolph and Fischer (1939) obtained diploid offspring from autotetraploid maize. Several fertile haploids have also been obtained from successful tetraploid and octaploid species (Kimber and Riley, 1963; de Wet and Harlan, 1970), and Raven and Thompson (1964) pointed out that there is no experimental basis or ...

Abstract Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is the world's most important vegetable crop, and developing improved cultivars is paramount for global food security. The efficacy of the genomic prediction models that accelerate breeding and genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) depends on large, high‐quality phenotypic datasets, which are often associated ...

Polyploidy Studies in Viticulture
Seedless table grapes are the most preferred grapes by the consumers. Stenospermocarpy and parthenocarpy are the natural causes of seedlessness in breeding studies. The most significant characteristic of seedless grapes are their small sized and seedless

Comparison of photosynthesis and antioxidant performance of several Citrus and Fortunella species under natural chilling stress : S08P24 [PDF]
Citrus plants originate from southeastern Asia, in a large area with various climates characterized by a broad range of temperatures. Temperature is assumed to be a key factor in Citrus species adaptation and diversification.
