Download or read book The Role of Chromosomes in Development written by Michael Locke and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Role of Chromosomes in Development is a collection of papers presented at the 23rd Symposium of the Society for the Study of Development and Growth, held at Amherst, Massachusetts in June 1964. Contributors explore the role of chromosomes in development, highlighting important processes such as the diversification and specialization of cells; the regulation of gene function by the physical state of the chromosome; the functional organization of chromosomes; DNA replication and synthesis; and macronuclear differentiation and subnuclear assortment. This volume is organized into 11 chapters and begins with an overview of chromosome structure and function and the mechanisms underlying the role of the chromosome in embryonic development. This book then discusses the chromosomal DNA replication, the mechanisms of gene modulation, the binding of actinomycin to DNA, and the cytological aspects of DNA replication in higher animals. The next chapters explain localized DNA synthesis in polytene chromosomes; chromosomal RNA and other nuclear RNA fractions; and experimental work probing both genetic and functional mosaicism in the mouse, as well as genetic repression of the R locus in maize. The book also considers how developmental pathways are controlled by genetic mechanisms, and then concludes with a chapter on nuclear differentiation in ciliates and on the phenomenon of subnuclear assortment. This book will be of interest to developmental biologists and embryologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Historical Perspective on the Study of Chromosome Structure and Function R. Appels Division of Plant Industry CSIRO P.O. Box 1600 A.C.T. AUSTRALIA "Modern physical science gives us no model to explain the re duplication of the gene-string in each cell generation, or to ex plain the production of effective quantities of specific enzymes or other agents by specific genes. The precise pairing and inter change of segments by homologous gene-strings at meiosis also suggest novel physical properties of this form of matter". Stadler (1954) The very strong influence of reductionism in the history of understanding chromosome structure and function is evident in the above quotation from Stadler's 1954 paper, "The gene". Earlyob servations on the constancy of the cytological appearance of chromo somes and their regular behaviour in cell division led to specula tion on their biological importance. As genetics became more refined in the early decades of the 20th century the genes-on-a string model of chromosomes developed and greater emphasis was placed on the further dissection of these structures. As a result, in the 1980's the reductionist approach is reaching a crest as extensive regions of the genetic material are being sequenced.

Download or read book Plant Chromosomes written by Archarna Sharma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two decades have brought with them remarkable progress in plant chromosomal research. The chromosome structure has been clarified in great detail, enabling identification of gene sequences at the microscopic level, which has aided the analysis of biodiversity. Knowledge of chromosome structure has played a crucial role in the improvement of crop species and has far-reaching implications. The manipulation and engineering of chromosomes involves a panoply of novel methods, combining conventional and modern techniques of biotechnology. A working knowledge of such techniques is essential for today's students and researchers, and the plant system, because of totipotency, requires special treatment. This treatise covers all the latest methods involved in the study of evolution, biodiversity, chromosome manipulation and engineering.
