Abstract:
Prometaphase chromosomes of Coix lacryma-jobi L. were quantitatively analyzed based on their distribution patterns of DAPI signals. The DAPI signals showed prominent uneven distribution along the chromosomes. Based on the DAPI signal patterns, a quantitative chromosome map was constructed for the first time in C. lacryma-jobi. The quantitative chromosome map will offer the foundation for genome analysis of C. lacryma-jobi.

Chromosome Structure
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
