Actinomycin D effects on termite chromosomes: induction of high resolution banding patterns with silver staining in
Stain Technology
|November 1, 1986
Abstract:
The treatment of termite male spermatogonia with actinomycin D induces highly elongated and finely banded late prophase and prometaphase chromosomes as evidenced by the silver staining method. Actinomycin D suppresses the silver staining of nucleolar organizing regions in prometaphase and reduces it in metaphase chromosomes.
