Structure and compaction of plant chromosomes: Studies using advanced electron microscopy
Chromosomes serve as fundamental units for the transmission of genetic information, and understanding their higher-order structure has been a longstanding research challenge. This review highlights recent advances in plant chromosome structure analysis, focusing on electron microscopy techniques that enable nanoscale visualization of chromatin architecture. Improvements in chromosome preparation, including chromosome isolation and ionic liquid coating, have enhanced the preservation of chromosome structure. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Focused Ion Beam SEM (FIB-SEM) and High-Voltage Transmission Electron Microscopy (HVTEM) have revealed detailed features of chromatin folding in centromeric and non-centromeric regions. Proteomic studies have identified key chromosomal proteins, such as topoisomerase II and nucleolar proteins, contributing to chromosome condensation and stability. The role of divalent cations and RNA in chromatin compaction are also discussed. Integrating these findings, this review provides an overview of technological advancements and their impact on elucidating chromosome architecture.
期刊介绍:
Micron is an interdisciplinary forum for all work that involves new applications of microscopy or where advanced microscopy plays a central role. The journal will publish on the design, methods, application, practice or theory of microscopy and microanalysis, including reports on optical, electron-beam, X-ray microtomography, and scanning-probe systems. It also aims at the regular publication of review papers, short communications, as well as thematic issues on contemporary developments in microscopy and microanalysis. The journal embraces original research in which microscopy has contributed significantly to knowledge in biology, life science, nanoscience and nanotechnology, materials science and engineering.
