Constitutional and tumor tissue genotypes from 81 unrelated patients with meningioma were compared at 25 polymorphic loci (restriction fragments length alleles) on chromosome 22. Thirty tumors (37%) retained the constitutional genotype along chromosome 22, a finding consistent with no detectable aberrations on chromosome 22 as studied. Forty-two tumors (52%) showed loss of one allele at all inf...

The ribosomal DNA (45S rDNA) behaviors during the cell cycle were analyzed on interphase nuclei, prophases, metaphases, pachytene chromosomes and extended DNA fibers in rice (Oryza, sativa ssp. indica cv. Guangluai No.4) by using high-resolution fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The results show that 45S rDNA is located at the ends of short arms of chromosomes 9 and 10. But the signals ...

A female infant with trisomy 9 in 58% of her cells is reported. Multiple congenital malformations were present, but she had normal psychomotor development. A pericentric inversion involving a portion of the centromeric heterochromatin of chromosome 9 was identified in the patient and her mother. This variant chromosome 9 was present in duplicate in the trisomic line. Since similar variants of 9...

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...
