How dynamic could be the 45S rDNA cistron? An intriguing variability in a grasshopper species revealed by integration of chromosomal and genomic data
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2019-05)
To better understand the structure and variability of the 45S rDNA cistron and its evolutionary dynamics in grasshoppers, we performed a detailed analysis combining classical and molecular cytogenetic data with whole-genome ...
Male meiosis, heterochromatin characterization and chromosomal location of rDNA in Microtomus lunifer (Berg, 1900) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Hammacerinae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2011-05)
In the present work, we analysed the male meiosis, the content and distribution of heterochromatin and the number and location of nucleolus organizing regions in Microtomus lunifer (Berg, 1900) by means of standard technique, ...
Karyotype characterization and evolution in South American species of Lathyrus (Notolathyrus, Leguminosae) evidenced by heterochromatin and rDNA mapping
(Springer Tokyo, 2015-10)
Notolathyrus is a section of South American endemic species of the genus Lathyrus. The origin, phylogenetic relationship and delimitation of some species are still controversial. The present study provides an exhaustive ...
Structural alignment of 18S and 28S rDNA sequences provides insights into phylogeny of Phytophaga (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea and Chrysomeloidea)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-01-01)
We performed a comparative study of partial rDNA sequences from a variety of Coleoptera taxa to construct an annotated alignment based on secondary structure information, which in turn, provides improved rRNA structure ...
Utility of Genetic Markers and Morphology for Species Discrimination within the Order Tintinnida (Ciliophora, Spirotrichea)
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2013-01)
We evaluated the small- and large-subunit rDNA (SSU and LSU, respectively) for their ability to discriminate morphospecies of tintinnid ciliates. Multiple individuals from 29 morphospecies were identified according to ...
Hosts, distribution and genetic divergence (16S rDNA) of Amblyomma dubitatum (Acari: Ixodidae)
(Springer, 2010-08)
We supply information about hosts and distribution of Amblyomma dubitatum. In addition, we carry out an analysis of genetic divergence among specimens of A. dubitatum from different localities and with respect to other ...
Morphological and molecular data on a new species of Plagiorhynchus Lühe, 1911 (Acanthocephala: Plagiorhynchidae) from the long-billed curlew (Numenius americanus) from northern Mexico
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-07)
A new species of the genus Plagiorhynchus Lühe, 1911 from the intestine of the long-billed curlew Numenius americanus from northern Mexico is described. Plagiorhynchus Plagiorhynchus aznari n. Sp. Is morphologically ...
Highly GC-rich heterochromatin in chili peppers (Capsicum-Solanaceae): A cytogenetic and molecular characterization
(Elsevier Science, 2018-08)
Capsicum comprises 35 species of chili peppers and five of them are cultivated worldwide as spices or vegetables. Diploid karyotypes based in x = 12 and x = 13 are common in Capsicum and the constitutive heterochromatin ...
Solanaceae: Capsicum eximium Hunz.
(International Association for Plant Taxonomy, 2017-12)
Description of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma meliae', a phytoplasma associated with Chinaberry (Melia azedarach L.) yellowing in South America
(Society for General Microbiology, 2016-09)
China tree yellows (ChTY) phytoplasma is associated with the yellowing disease of the China tree (Melia azedarach) in Argentina. According to partial 16S rRNA gene analysis, ChTY phytoplasma belongs to the 16Sr XIII group, ...
