Banding patterns in plant chromosomes. III. Dactylis glomerata subsp. aschersoniana (Graebner) Thell. from Poland

Feulgen banding of heterochromatin in plant chromosomes.

Feulgen bands can be obtained at the sites of constitutive heterochromatin in the chromosomes of Anemone blanda, Fritillaria lanceolata and Scilla siberica, simply by means of a short or extended acid hydrolysis. Extended hydrolysis gives positive bands in A. blanda and F. lanceolata and negative bands in S. siberica. Short hydrolysis gives no bands in A. blanda and S. siberica but gives negati...

Specific banding patterns of human chromosomes.

Individual pairs of human chromosomes can be reliably identified by a new method that does not require special optical equipment and that results in permanent preparations. This method, which is based on treatment of the chromosomes in situ with NaOH, followed by incubation in sodium chloride-trisodium citrate and Giemsa staining, results in highly specific banding patterns in characteristic re...

Increased Meiotic Irregularity Accompanying Inbreeding in Dactylis Glomerata L.

Fungal Diversity The endophytic mycobiota of the grass Dactylis glomerata

Fungal endophytes were isolated from asymptomatic and symptomatic plants of Dactylis glomerata sampled in different ecosystems in Spain. Fungi were identified using morphological, as well as molecular methods based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and ribosomal DNA sequencing. Molecular data provided a framework for identification and assessing the phylogenetic position of isolates. One hun...

The Influence of Land Use Intensity on the Plant-Associated Microbiome of Dactylis glomerata L.

In this study, we investigated the impact of different land use intensities (LUI) on the root-associated microbiome of Dactylis glomerata (orchardgrass). For this purpose, eight sampling sites with different land use intensity levels but comparable soil properties were selected in the southwest of Germany. Experimental plots covered land use levels from natural grassland up to intensively manag...
