Abstract:

Significant interspecific variation in DNA amount was observed among nine species of Piper. The DNA amount of a wild octoploid accession of Piper nigrum was approximately double that of the cultivated tetraploid variety of the same species. However, three New World diploid species had higher nuclear DNA amounts than several New or Old World tetraploid species. The DNA content per basic genome was, on the whole, lower in cultivated than in wild species.Key words: Piperaceae, Piper, Piper nigrum (black pepper), polyploids, DNA amounts.

Abstract:

Nuclear DNA amounts of 28 species of Senecio native to Australia and of four exotic species are reported. DNA amounts per 4C nucleus range from 4.22 pg to 42.90 pg, a 10-fold difference. Some of the variation is due to polyploidy as chromosome numbers range from n = 5 (by dysploid reduction) to n = 50, but DNA amounts per genome also vary from 0.84pg to 4.69 pg, a 6-fold difference. DNA amounts correlate with cell size and, in some instances, the size of structures. There is also a correlation between DNA amount and generation length which corresponds with previous observations.

Abstract:

Recent molecular studies in the genera Aegilops and Triticum showed that allopolyploidization (interspecific or intergeneric hybridization followed by chromosome doubling) generated rapid elimination of low-copy or high-copy, non-coding and coding DNA sequences. The aims of this work were to determine the amount of nuclear DNA in allopolyploid species of the group and to see to what extent elimination of DNA sequences affected genome size. Nuclear DNA amount was determined by the flow cytometry method in 27 natural allopolyploid species (most of which were represented by several lines and each

The B-chromosome and C-band numbers were determined in 12 Arizona Indian maize populations. These populations were originally collected from altitudes ranging from 100 to 5300 ft (1 ft = 0.3048 m).

The number of B-chromosomes was not significantly correlated with altitude, C-band number, or nuclear DNA amount. C-band number was significantly correlated with both altitude and genome size. It does not appear that the amount of C-band variation can account for the large nuclear DNA variat

Abstract:

Muscle concentrations of mRNAs encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) decline with aging. To determine whether this can be explained by diminished mtDNA levels, we measured the relative concentrations of mtDNA and a representative mtDNA transcript [encoding cytochrome- coxidase, subunit 2 (COX-2)] in muscle of young (21–27 yr) and older subjects (65–75 yr). The amount of COX-2 mRNA (relative to 28S rRNA) was 22% lower ( P = 0.04) in older muscle, and the amount of mtDNA (relative to nuclear DNA) was 38% lower ( P = 0.0002).

The nuclear DNA usually consists of a set of DNA molecules present in two copies per cell, whereas mitochondrial DNA is present in a few hundred copies per cell.

Abstract:

Nuclear DNA amount, determined by the flow cytometry method, in diploids, natural and synthetic allopolyploids, and natural and synthetic autopolyploids of the tribe Triticeae (Poaceae) is reviewed here and discussed. In contrast to the very small and nonsignificant variation in nuclear DNA amount that was found at the intraspecific level, the variation at the interspecific level is very large. Evidently changes in genome size are either the cause or the result of speciation. Typical autopolyploids had the expected additive DNA amount of their diploid parents, whereas natural and synthetic cyt

Abstract:

The nuclear DNA content for a group of 40 Malus species and hybrids has been estimated using flow cytometry. Estimates of nuclear DNA content for this germplasm collection range from 1.45 pg for Malus fusca (diploid) to 2.57 pg for Malus ioensis (triploid). Among diploids, the nuclear (2C) DNA ranges from 1.45 pg for M. fusca to 1.68 pg for Malus transitoria. Among triploids, the nuclear (3C) DNA content ranges from 2.37 pg / 3C for Malus sikkimensis to 2.57 pg / 3C for M. ioensis. Given the complexity of the apple genome and its suggested allopolyploid origin, the results obtained in this stu

Abstract:

Poultry eggs contain high-quality proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, which makes them an indispensable product in human nutrition. Egg whites have exceptional foaming, emulsifying, gelling, and heat setting properties, making them popular for use in baked goods. The knowledge accumulated so far about egg whites has now settled on a stable opinion that there are no cells, and no DNA, in them. However, this study demonstrates the possibility of extracting chicken genomic DNA from the outer thin whites of chicken eggs. For DNA extraction, foremost, protein degradation of the samples by trypsi

Abstract:

AbstractWe have studied by means of cytology and autoradiography the effect of benzyladenine (BA, a synthetic cytokinin) on DNA metabolism during early maize germination.The data indicate that BA stimulates nuclear DNA replication. The doubling of the amount of nuclear DNA in BA-treated axes occurs earlier than in nontreated axes, and there is a three-fold increase in the mitotic index at 24 h of germination. These results provide further corroboration for the suggestion that the stimulation of DNA synthesis observed relates to a nuclear replicative type of synthesis. Possible mechanisms of ac

Abstract:

The accurate quantification of DNA in forensic samples is of utmost importance. These samples are often present in limited amounts; therefore, it is indicated to use the appropriate analysis route with the optimum DNA amount (when possible). Also, DNA quantification can inform about the degradation stage and therefore support the decision on which downstream genotyping method to use. Consequently, DNA quantification aids in getting the best possible results from a forensic sample, considering both its DNA quantity and quality limitations. Here, we introduce NuMY, a new quantitative real-time P

Abstract:

The nuclear DNA content of 11 species of Glomales was evaluated by flow cytometry after DAPI staining relative to Gigaspora margarita, which was used as internal standard. The nuclear DNA content of this species was calibrated by propidium iodide staining relative to chicken red blood cells. A correction was applied when the difference in AT content of the DNA was significant between a sample and the standard. A single unimodal peak of fluorescence was observed for nuclei from the quiescent spores of the 11 fungal species studied. It was considered that this peak corresponded to the amount of

Abstract:

Chromosomes and nuclear DNA amount were analyzed in leaf tissues of Luzula nivea, Luzula luzuloides, and Luzula multiflora. Intra- and interspecific karyological variability was stated. Chromosome numbers in diploids ranged 2n = 8-24 in L. nivea and L. luzuloides and 2n = 12-84 in hexaploid L. multiflora. Karyological variability resulted mainly from chromosome fission (agmatoploidy) and aneusomaty; chromosome fusion (symploidy) and polyploidy were also involved. Flow cytometric determination of nuclear genome size using propidium iodide staining gave values of 1.584 pg in L. luzuloides, 1.566

Following treatment of pregnant mice with the ethylating agent ethyl-methanesulfonate (EMS), an appreciable amount of alkylation (ethylation and methylation) was found in the nuclear DNA of the embryos during organogenesis. The results are discussed in context of our thesis that a certain amount of DNA alkylation in the embryos is correlated to the teratogenic potential of alkylating a

ABSTRACT Lentiviral vectors derived from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) show great promise as gene carriers for future gene therapy. Insertion of a fragment containing the central polypurine tract (cPPT) in HIV-1 vector constructs is known to enhance transduction efficiency drastically, reportedly by facilitating the nuclear import of HIV-1 cDNA through a central DNA flap. We have studied the impact of the cPPT on the kinetics of HIV-1 vector transduction by real-time PCR.

Abstract Lymph node T cells of MRL-lpr/lpr mice are characterized by the production of very large amounts of c-myb mRNA. To study the control of c-myb expression, a search was made for sites on the 5' c-myb gene which could bind regulatory proteins. DNase I digestion of nuclear chromatin uncovered four DNase I hypersensitive sites in the first intron of the c-myb gene, and a single site approximately 300 bp 5' to the initiation codon. Lambda exonuclease digestion of a 5'-myb fragment in the presence of nuclear extracts from either MRL-lpr/lpr PLN or EL-4 thymoma revealed stop sites approximate
