Chromosomal interchanges in plants

TL;DR: A discussion of how translocations have been and how they might be used as tools in the investigation of other cytological and cytogenetic problems and also certain applications to practical breeding have been included.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptonemal complex spreading in Allium cepa and A. fistulosum. I: The initiation and sequence of pairing

TL;DR: The general features and fine structure of homologous chromosome alignment and pairing have been investigated in two species of Allium, which have similar karyotypes but very different patterns of chiasma distribution, and it is argued that they may be evenly distributed through most of the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear DNA variation in Allium

TL;DR: It is revealed that widespread changes in nuclear DNA content accompanied the divergence and evolution of species within the genus Allium and provides information about the nature and the distribution of the chromosome structural changes which account for the variation innuclear DNA.

The productive and reproductive biology of flowering plants

TL;DR: The seasonal growth cycles and dry matter partitioning of Heloniopsis orientalis (Thunb.) C. Tanaka (Liliaceae) throughout the year were studied and compared with one another in five selected populations at different altitudes in Toyama Prefecture, Japan (i.e., 100, 200, 900, 1,900 and 2,600 m above sea level).

The association of non-homologous parts of chromosomes in the mid-prophase of meiosis in Zea mays

TL;DR: In many cases, the non-homologous association at pachytene appears to be as intimate as homologueous association, andTranslocations probably result from the association of non-Homologous parts of chromosomes.

Chromosome behaviour and structural hybridity in the tradescantiae. II.

TL;DR: Fragments are small in Rhoeo and in the tetraploids, showing that the assumption of pairing and crossing-over being restricted to the end regions is justified and that the anaphase in some forms comes to correspond with the hollow metaphase in others.
