Karyotypes of <i>Taraxacum laevigatum</i> (Asteraceae) in Japan

Evolution of Karyotypes in Chameleons

The reconstruction of the evolutionary dynamics of karyotypes and sex determining systems in squamate reptiles is precluded by the lack of data in many groups including most chameleons (Squamata: Acrodonta: Chamaeleonidae). We performed cytogenetic analysis in 16 species of chameleons from 8 genera covering the phylogenetic diversity of the family and also phylogenetic reconstruction of karyoty...

Novelties in Cardueae (Asteraceae)

The current investigations suggest the segregation of Jurinea cartilaginea from Jurinea, and its placement among Centaureinae. Molecular studies, based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (nrITS), chromosome number data and pollen morphology, support the morphological results. Based on these results, J. cartilaginea is related to and, therefore, transferred to the genus Karvan...

Karyotypes of Three Spider Species

Australian spiders of the genus Abstract. -Three species of the spider genus Physocyclus (P. calijbrnicus, P. enaulus. P, sp.) . SOC. 96:359-362. were karyotyped using an air-drying, Giemsa staining method. All chromosomes were metacentric, with males being 2n = 15 (N = 7 + XO) and females being 2n = 16. The karyotyping method resulted in slide preparations which were countable five years post-...

Electrophoretic karyotypes of Torulopsis glabrata.

Chromosome-sized DNA molecules of clinical isolates of Torulopsis glabrata were resolved by a pulsed-field electrophoretic method, contour-clamped homogeneous electric fields. With the conditions established in this study, 8 to 12 bands (ranging from 445 to 3,000 kilobases) were observed. There were differences in the intensities and migrations of bands, consistent with T. glabrata being either...
