soil affected by salt (nacl) is a major problem worldwide and in areas with potential agriculture; lands in many countries are not enough to support crop production. the development of salt tolerant cultivars would be enhanced by better understanding of the genetic control of tolerance to salt stress. a new cereal, tritipyrum, a range of amphiploids between triticum spp. and thinopyrum spp....

This report describes the use of fluorescence in situ hybridization for chromosome classification and detection of chromosome aberrations. Biotin-labeled DNA was hybridized to target chromosomes and subsequently rendered fluorescent by successive treatments with fluorescein-labeled avidin and biotinylated anti-avidin antibody. Human chromosomes in human-hamster hybrid cell lines were intensely ...

Background A decrease in aneuploidy rate following a prolonged co-culture of human blastocysts has been reported. As co-culture is not routinely used in assisted reproductive technology, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the prolonged single culture on the rate of diploid cells in human embryos with aneuploidies. MaterialsAndMethods In this cohort study, we used fluorescence in ...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and its modification, polytene in situ hybridization (PISH) (1,2,4), have widespread application in the analysis of gene localization on interphase, metaphase and polytene chromosomes. However, available protocols use the indirect fluorescence approach, which requires the tedious and timeconsuming immunological detection step in which a fluorochrome-con...
