Drimia is a heterogeneous, poorly understood genus that requires major rearrangement. Chromosome behavior of gigantea and viridula; two species in D. altissima complex was studied for karyotypes transmission extra chromosomes pair pollen viability. Meristematic cells at the root tips viridula were by conventional cytogenetic karyotype analysis. numbers 2n = 22 20 viridula, respectively. Extra c...

to identify qtls controlling grain yield and yield components, an f2 population consisting of 188 plants derived from the cross between two rice pure lines, binam and kadous, were grown in research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan, rasht, iran, in 2008, and were recorded for 9 important traits related to grain yield. to construct linkage map, 85 marker of ssrs and...

The majority of human telomere length studies have focused on the overall length of telomeres within a cell. In fact, very few studies have examined telomere length for individual chromosome arms. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between chromosome arm size and the relative length of the associated telomere. Quantitative Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (Q-FISH) was...

We study the genetic behaviour of a population formed by haploid individuals which reproduce asexually. The genetic information for each individual is stored along a bit-string (or chromosome) with L bits, where 0-bits represent the wild-type allele and 1-bits correspond to harmful mutations. Each newborn inherits this chromosome from its parent with some few random mutations: on average a fixe...

Automated chromosome classification is an essential task in cytogenetics. The genetic disorders and abnormalities that occur to the future generation can be predicted through analysing the various characteristics of the chromosomes. The chromosome classification is mainly based on geometric and morphological features. An effective algorithm for chromosome geometric feature extraction is present...

 constriction and staining properties by aceto-iron-hematoxylin were analyzed for Prunus species of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), plum (P. cerasifera Ehrh.) and a natural new hybrid known as “TANASGOL” (P. cerasifera × P. spp.). The obtained root tips from germinated seeds at 4–6 °C and young seedlings were pretreated in hydroxyquinoline solution with 50 drops of DMSO. All species had 2n=2x=16...
