[Karyotype analysis of Physalis pubescens chromosome]
Abstract
Objective:
To study the karyotype of Physalis pubescens L..
Methods:
Sections combined with micrograph were used.
Results:
The number of normal diploid was 2n = 24, karyotype formula was K(2n) = 24 = 2 m + 20 sm + 2 st, the relative length was 2n = 24 = 10M2 + 14M1, which belonged to "3A" type. The total length of chromosome groups was 16.83 microm, the total length of long arms was 12.04 microm, the AS. K% was 71.54%. The total volume of chromosome was 35.57 microm3.
Conclusion:
Physalis pubescens L. chromosome number was same to Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii.

01:17Karyotyping
Describing the number and physical features of chromosomes can reveal abnormalities that underlie genetic diseases. This description is facilitated by special staining techniques that produce a particular banding pattern on each chromosome. State-of-the-art techniques make this approach even more powerful, enabling the detection of individual genes that cause disease.A Simple Chromosome Staining Technique Provides Valuable Scientific InsightSome genetic diseases can be detected by looking at...
02:04Polytene Chromosomes
Polytene chromosomes are giant interphase chromosomes with several DNA strands placed side by side. They were discovered in the year 1881 by Balbiani in salivary glands, intestine, muscles, malpighian tubules, and hypoderm of larvae Chironomus plumosus. Hence, these are also called "Salivary gland chromosomes." These are found in insects of the order Diptera and Collembola; in certain organs of mammals; and synergids, antipodes of flowering plants. Polytene chromosomes are also regularly...
