Identification of suitable reference genes for studying gene expression in cucumber plants subjected to abiotic stress and growth regulators

TL;DR: The authors of this study assume that the novel cucumber reference genes determined will enable better normalization and quantification of transcript levels in future expression studies on cucumber plants.

Cucumber: Cucumis sativus L.

T. Tatlioglu
TL;DR: The use of this vegetable is highlighted and its cytology, genetics, germplasm resources, and reproductive biology are reviewed and techniques applicable to the improvement of cucumber are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Balancing selection in species with separate sexes: insights from fisher's geometric model

TL;DR: It is shown that balancing selection is common under biologically plausible conditions and that sex differences in selection or sex-by-genotype effects of mutations can each increase opportunities for balancing selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Centromere repositioning in cucurbit species: Implication of the genomic impact from centromere activation and inactivation

TL;DR: Both centromere activation and inactivation in cucurbit species were associated with a gain/loss of a large amount of pericentromeric heterochromatin.

The relation of a particular chromosomal element to the development of the nucleoli in Zea mays

TL;DR: The nucleolus is organized in the telophase through the activity of a distinct deep-staining body having a definite position in one chromosome (the satellited chromosome) of the monoploid complement through a reciprocal translocation which broke this body into two parts.

Die Ursache der gesetzmässigen Zahl, Lage, Form und Grösse pflanzlicher Nukleolen

E. Heitz
- 01 Feb 1931 - 
TL;DR: The physiological meaning of the nucleoli still remains one of the most obscure questions of the cytology as discussed by the authors, even after more than 100 years of the discovery of the Nukleolus.

Chromosome Studies in Some Dioecious Plants, with Special Reference to the Allosomes

TL;DR: The chromosomes of the male plants of 17 genera, 22 species and 2 varieties of dioecious phanerogams have been investigated and the following 13 forms show each an unequal pair of chromosomes in addition to autosome pairs at the meiotic division in microsporocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origin of iso-chromosomes

TL;DR: The misdivision and the origin of the iso-chromosome are each likely to be important as affecting the genetic structure of the chromosome and the mechanical properties of the centromere.
