Mosaicism, known as partial aneuploidies, mostly originates from mitotic errors during the post-zygotic stage; it consists of different cell lineages within a human embryo. The incidence mosaicism has not been shown to correlate with maternal age, and its correlation individual chromosome characteristics well investigated. In this study, results preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (P...

ABSTRACT- Bromus danthoniae Trin. is an annual grass species which grows mainly on dry grassy rocky mountain slopes and grassy steppe, and is grazed by many herbivores and recognized as a useful pasture plant. The chromosome number, morphological and anatomical traits of 82 genotypes of B. danthoniae belonging to three sub-taxa were investigated. Twenty-seven quantitative and 20 qualitative mor...

Background: Non-Iranian Primary Tritipyrum (2n=6x=42, AABBEbEb) set seed after Triticale (2n=6x=42, AABBRR) and Tritordeum (2n=6x=42, AABBHcHc) but, due to a few undesirable agronomic traits, it cannot fulfil the commercial expectations of farming. Objectives: To remove these deficiencies, six hexaploid Tritipyrum lines were crossed with four Iranian bread wheat cultivars which led to the...

being one of the major research fields in the robotics discipline, the robot motion planning problem deals with finding an obstacle-free start-to-goal path for a robot navigating among workspace obstacles. such a problem is also encountered in path planning of intelligent vehicles and automatic guided vehicles (agvs). traditional (exact) algorithms have failed to solve the problem effectively s...

thymus is a medicinal plant which contains one of the world's top ten essential oils, exhibiting antibacterial, antioxidative, food preservative and mammalian age-delaying properties. this work was aimed at identifying between-species variations requiring for selecting appropriate parents for hybridization. six iranian endemic thymus accessions belonging to thymus daënensis, t. eriocalyx and t....

Four mutant cocoa accessions with morphological changes and a cultivar sample were karyomorphologically characterized. Slides were prepared by enzymatic digestion of the root meristem and squashed in 45% acetic acid, followed by 2% Giemsa staining. The chromosome number of 2n = 20 was seen in all accessions. The karyotype formula for Cacau Comum and Cacau Rui was 2n = 20m. Submetacentric chromo...

Multicellular development requires that cells reduce in size as a result of consecutive cell divisions without increase in embryo volume. To maintain cellular integrity, organelle size adapts to cell size throughout development. During mitosis, the longest chromosome arm must be shorter than half of the mitotic spindle for proper chromosome segregation. Using high-resolution time-lapse microsco...
