Analysis of Phalaenopsis Bud Length during Meiosis to Predict Pollen Fertility
(2017-03)
Phalaenopsis orchids are a very important commercial crop in tropical countries. Nonetheless hybrids feature variations in pollen fertility due to widespread chromosomal rearrangements in meiotic chromosomes. Usually each ...
Cytological Identification of Chromosomal Rearrangements in Doritaenopsis and Phalaenopsis
(Journal of International Cooperation (Taiwan) 2(1): 1-11, 2007-09-01)
This study investigated the impact of gross chromosomal rearrangements, specifically translocations and inversions, on the division of pollen mother cells in hybrids Dtps. Queen Beer, Dtps. Sinica Sunday, Dtps. Sweet ...
Protocol for the preparation of Arabiopsis meiotic chromosome spreads and fluorescent in situ hybridization
(Bio-protocol 4(7), e1102, 2014, 2014-04-05)
This protocol is a more detailed version of previous protocols (Yang et al., 2011; Bolaños-Villegas et al., 2013) developed for the examination of meiotic chromosome spreads. Meiotic chromosome spreads are useful to determine ...
Meiotic Chromosome Behavior and Capsule Setting in Doritaenopsis Hybrids
(J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 133(1):107–116. 2008, 2008-10-06)
The development of new cultivars in Doritaenopsis Guillaum. & Lami orchids is often hindered by factors such as low seed count in hybrids. Cytological study may offer the ability to develop new hybrids by revealing cultivars ...
Pollen development: a play with many actors
(Current Topics in Plant Biology 11: 89-102. 2010, 2010-09-01)
Seeds are a major resource of food supply around the world and their production depends on successful double fertilization during plant sexual reproduction. In higher plants, fertilization of female gametophytes involves ...
In favor of establishment: chromatid cohesion in plants
(2017-05-23)
In eukaryotic organisms, the correct regulation of sister chromatid cohesion, whereby sister chromatids are paired and held together, is essential for accurate segregation of the sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes ...
The Opposing Actions of Arabidopsis CHROMOSOME TRANSMISSION FIDELITY7 and WINGS APART-LIKE1 and 2 Differ in Mitotic and Meiotic Cells
(2016-02-01)
Sister chromatid cohesion, which is mediated by the cohesin complex, is essential for the proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Stable binding of cohesin with chromosomes is regulated in part by the ...
Arabidopsis CHROMOSOME TRANSMISSION FIDELITY 7 (AtCTF7/ECO1) is required for DNA repair, mitosis and meiosis
(The Plant Journal 75: 927–940, 2013-06-10)
The proper transmission of DNA in dividing cells is crucial for the survival of eukaryotic organisms. During cell division, faithful segregation of replicated chromosomes requires their tight attachment, known as sister ...
Pollen Meiotic Behavior in Relation to Phalaenopsis Breeding
(Acta Horticulturae 878: 139-144 (2010), 2010)
The breeding of Phalaenopsis orchids involves the cross-pollination of two selected parental plants. Parents with re gular meiotic behavior can often produce seeds successfully. Currently most Phalaenopsis hybrids are ...
Reduced activity of Arabidopsis chromosome-cohesion regulator gene CTF7/ECO1 alters cytosine methylation status and retrotransposon expression
(2015-05-01)
Multicellular organisms such as higher plants require timely regulation of DNA replication and cell division to grow and develop. Recent work in Arabidopsis has shown that chromosome segregation during meiosis and mitosis ...
