Mitotic chromosomes were indirectly prepared by fibroblast cell culture. The chromosomes were stained by conventional Giemsa staining and microsatellite repeat of fluorescence in situ hybridization techniques. Giemsa staining showed that the diploid chromosome number of S. chinensis was 2n=70 and T. ruficollis was 60. The types of chromosomes observed in S. chinensis were 4 large metacentric, 2 medium acrocentric, 2 small metacentric, 2 small submetacentric, 2 sex chromosomes and 58 microchromosomes; the karyotype of T. ruficollis comprised 2 large metacentric, 2 large submetacentric, 2 large acrocentric, 8 small metacentric, 4 small submetacentric, ZW sex chromosomes and 40 microchromosomes. The molecular cytogenetical features that were exhibited only on the male T. ruficollis chromosome included two microsatellites and telomeric sequences: two signals of d(CA)15 on two microchromosomes, one signal of d(GC)15 on one of the first pair, and signals of AGGGTTn sequences on each telomeric region of all macro- and microchromosomes. The karyotype formula was deduced as: 2n (70) = Lm4 + Ma2 + Sm2 + Ssm2 + 2 sex chromosomes (Sm1/Ssm1) + 58 microchromosomes for S. chinensis and 2n (60) = Lm2 +Lsm2 + La2 + Sm8 + Ssm4 + Z (Msm1) W (Ssm1) + 40 microchromosomes for T. ruficollis.","PeriodicalId":9634,"journal":{"name":"Caryologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87269487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These bands were produced with the combinations of 10 selective primers. The total number of amplified fragments ranged from 8 to 22. ). The predicted unbiased heterozygosity (H) varied between 0.15 (Rindera media) and 0.30 (Rindera regia). High Shannon’s information index was detected in Rindera regia. The genetic similarities between six species are estimated from 0.73 to 0.95. Clustering results showed two major clusters.

We found centromeric enrichment of LINE-1 sequences on all biarmed and acrocentric chromosomes co-localized with heterochromatin C-positive bands.

It is defined as the asexual formation of a seed from the maternal tissues of the ovule, avoiding the processes of meiosis and fertilization. Some species are facultative apomicts and form seeds by means of sexual and apomictic pathways to different extents. This is the case of Poa pratensis, the Kentucky bluegrass, which reproduces by aposporous pseudogamous facultative apomixis. This grass is one of the most studied apomictic systems, however some aspects, such as the male meiotic behavior, have not been so far investigated. In this study the process of microsporogenesis in genotypes of P. pratensis with a different mode of reproduction was investigated. The analysis revealed an almost regular meiosis in the sexual plants whereas apomictic genotypes exhibited different levels of meiotic irregularities, mainly due to cell fusion and irregular segregation in I and II division. Our data did not reveal evident connections between the extent and types of abnormalities and the components of apomixis, apomeiosis and parthenogenesis. The meiotic behavior of the examined plants was discussed in the light of their origin.","PeriodicalId":9634,"journal":{"name":"Caryologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90200342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scattered published data on genetic diversity of this important plant species are mainly based on different molecular data analyses; therefore a meta-analysis of the same cultivars based on several different molecular markers including DNA-sequences and multi-locus markers was conducted to provide a detailed insight on genetic structure of walnuts. The results indicated a moderated genetic variability of about 40 percent in the studied cultivars; however these cultivars are genetically differentiated as revealed by Fst and AMOVA. HGT analyses revealed that the cultivars phylogeny differs to some degree by different markers and therefore a heat map was constructed to reveal the cultivars relationships based on combined molecular data. A higher Pst value was obtained compared to that of Fst genetic differentiation, therefore, it seems that local adaptation and selection have played role in the walnut cultivars’ morphological divergence.
