Practical manual on Plant Cytogenetics

Practical Human Cytogenetics

ALTHOUGH attempts at establishing the human chromosome number dates from early in this century, it was not until 1957 when improvements in techniques became available that human cytogenetics became established as a laboratory discipline. Since 1959, many clinical disorders ranging from abnormalities of sexual, physical and intellectual development, pregnancy wastage, leukaemia and tumours, have...

Manual of Practical Anatomy

methods for the removal of diseased tonsils-with the guillotine and by dissection, are fully described; but the surgeon is wisely left to make his own choice after consideration of the circumstances of the case. Considerable changes have been made in the chapter on affections of the trachea and bronchi; and abscess, bronchiectasis, neoplasms, and the technique of lipiodol injections, are descri...

A historical and modern perspective on plant cytogenetics.

Plant cytogenetics has continued to flourish and make essential contributions to genomics projects by delineating marker order, defining contig gaps and revealing genome rearrangements. Here we review the field of plant cytogenetics from its conception through the eras of molecular biology and genomics. Significant advances in chromosome preparation, such as extended fiber-FISH, have greatly in...

The Cerrado (Brazil) plant cytogenetics database

Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot that has lost ca. 50% of its original vegetation cover and hosts ca. 11,000 species belonging to 1,423 genera of phanerogams. For a fraction of those species some cytogenetic characteristics like chromosome numbers and C-value were available in databases, while other valuable information such as karyotype formula and banding patterns are missing. In order to in...
