TL;DR: This chapter presents how comparative chromosome painting using pools of Arabidopsis thaliana BAC clones is used to establish genome organization in diploid and polyploid species in conjunction with genotyping and sequencing data and shows how molecular cytogenetics is essential for the understanding of genetics and genomics in the genus Brassica.

TL;DR: Interestingly, all three cytotypes of Phoenicaulis proved to be apomictic, regardless of the presence or absence of a Het chromosome, and sexual populations have yet to be identified.

TL;DR: A positive correlation between the ploidy estimated by chromosome counting and DNA flow cytometry inS.

TL;DR: The karyotype structure of M. pygmaea is very similar to the previously inferred Proto-Calepineae Karyotype (PCK) of the Brassicaceae Lineage II, however, an end-to-end translocation between two ancestral chromosomes reduced the chromosome number from n = 7 to n = 6, comparable to Megadenia.

TL;DR: Transferred eudicot-type rDNA preserved its tandemly arrayed feature on a single chromosome and was found to be transcribed in the monocot host albeit much less efficiently than the native counterpart.
