Abstract Background Lupins are cultivated as human consumption grains and forage legumes. The chromosomes of lupins too small to be karyotyped by conventional techniques, because they reveal a general lack distinctive cytological features. In the current study, Fluorescence in situ Hybridization ( FISH) was used locate 5S 45S ribosomal gene sites on Lupinus albus ssp , graecus Lupnus termis (al...

Cultured human lymphocytes have been treated with a number of topoisomerase inhibitors, to see whether topoisomerase II is involved in the process of chromosome segregation at anaphase. Results were assessed by examination of cytogenetical preparations of spread chromosomes. Four effects were observed, although no inhibitor produced all four effects. These effects were: inhibition of entry into...
