We have tested this hypothesis by studying cell cycle parameters of mouse, Chinese hamster, and platypus parent cells and by observing chromosome loss and replication patterns in hybrids between them. Two types of hybrids have been studied: mouse-hamster hybrids showed gradual segregation, in one or other direction, of 10-60% chromosomes, while rodent-platypus hybrids (which could be selected under conditions optimal for either parent cell) showed rapid and extreme segregation of platypus chromosomes. We found no correlation between the direction of segregation and the relative lengths of parental cycle times, or phase times, nor between sequence of replication and frequency with which segregant chromosomes are lost. We therefore conclude that the direction and extent of segregation is not directly determined by the interaction of parental cycle or phase times.","PeriodicalId":9589,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of genetics and cytology.

Percent morphologically abnormal sperm was scored by light microscopy. Heterosis, line, maternal, and reciprocal effects, and general and specific combining abilities were estimated for body and testis weights, testicular cell proportions, sperm alpha t values, and percent abnormal sperm. Heterosis was important for testis weight, alpha t values, and percent abnormal sperm. Inbreds varied in body and testicular weights, alpha t values, and percent abnormal sperm. Significant maternal effects were noted for several traits but could be due to sex-linked (X or Y) factors, since maternal and sex-linked effects were confounded. Although a high positive correlation existed between alpha t values and percent abnormal sperm, the proportion of sperm with altered chromatin structure, measured by FCM, was generally much lower than proportion of morphologically abnormal cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":9589,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of genetics and cytology.

We utilized polyclonal antibodies against the 18 000 dalton (Da) heat-shock protein and the 73 000–89 000 Da heat-shock protein complex from Oh43 maize seedlings to ascertain antigenic similarity of these polypeptides. The heat-shock response varied in the numbers and relative molecular masses of the heat-shock proteins. Only three polypeptides appeared to be conserved across cultivars: a 93 000, 71 000, and 18 000 Da polypeptide. The cold-shock response varied from none to a dramatically altered pattern in a few cultivars. Thus, the heat- and cold-shock responses in these cultivars of corn differ in the types of polypeptides that are induced.

Heterozygous crosses are made for Spore killer (SkK X SkS) and for markers to be tested. In such crosses only SkK ascospores survive. The four viable (SkK) and four aborted (SkS) ascospores of each ascus are ejected from the perithecium as a physically disordered group. The four surviving SkK ascospores of individual asci are germinated and scored. SkK segregates from SkS at the first meiotic division. If both marker alleles are represented in the surviving products, they must therefore have segregated from one another at the second division. Four-spore (Fsp) genes have been used to eliminate one postmeiotic nuclear division, so that only two ascospores per ascus need to be scored. The Spore killer method has been useful for mapping closely linked genes in centromere regions, for identifying genes that are far out on chromosome arms, for obtaining information on meiotic crossing-over, and for comparing linkages in different species.</p>","PeriodicalId":9589,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of genetics and cytology.
