Here we update and provide a brief summary of the emerging picture of species relationships and diversification, and a set of the designations for individual genomes and chromosomes in Gossypium. This cytogenetic and genomic nomenclature will facilitate comparative studies worldwide, which range from basic taxonomic exploration to breeding and germplasm introgression.展开更多

The resuts indicated that the combination of root tip with pretreatment of 2 m molL-1 8-hydroxyquinoline plus 0.05% colchicine or 0.3% balm for 3～5 hours at 14℃,pre-hypotonic trcarment of 0.07mol L-1 KCl for 30 min, fixation in Carnoy's fluid,hydrolysis in 5% cellulase and 5% pectinase mixture for 4～5 hours at 25℃, post-hypotonic treatment in distilled water for half an hour and staining in Giemsa could make the chromosome prepa ration superior to other treatment combinations.展开更多

The concentrations of manganous sulphate used were 10-7,10-6,10-5 ,10-4,10-3, 10-2 and 10-1mol/L. The results indicated that manganese had a stimulatory effect on the root growth at lower concentrations (10-7 to 10-4mol/L). With increasing the concentration of Mn (10-3 to 10-1mol/L) and duration of treatment,manganese inhibited root growth and cell division, and had toxic effects on chromosomes,nuclei and nucleoli. Manganese Could induce mitotic irregularities,comprising c-mitosis,anaphase bridges and chromosome stickiness. The nuclei became irregular in shape and many micronuclei were scattered in the cytoplasm. Some similar silver-stained particulate materials were found scattered in the nucleus in root tip cells. The possible mechanism behind these phenomena is also briefly discussed.展开更多
