A and C Genome Distinction and Chromosome Identification in Brassica napus by Sequential Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization and Genomic in Situ Hybridization
The two genomes (A and C) of the allopolyploid Brassica napus have been clearly distinguished using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) despite the fact that the two extant diploids, B. rapa (A, n = 10) and B. oleracea (C, n = 9), representing the progenitor genomes, are closely related. Using DNA from B. oleracea as the probe, with B. rapa DNA and the intergenic spacer of the B. oleracea 45S rDNA as the block, hybridization occurred on 9 of the 19 chromosome pairs along the majority of their length. The pattern of hybridization confirms that the two genomes have remained distinct in B. napus line DH12075, with no significant genome homogenization and no large-scale translocations between the genomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-with 45S rDNA and a BAC that hybridizes to the pericentromeric heterochromatin of several chromosomes-followed by GISH allowed identification of six chromosomes and also three chromosome groups. Our procedure was used on the B. napus cultivar Westar, which has an interstitial reciprocal translocation. Two translocated segments were detected in pollen mother cells at the pachytene stage of meiosis. Using B. oleracea chromosome-specific BACs as FISH probes followed by GISH, the chromosomes involved were confirmed to be A7 and C6.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 January 2018.
All research outputs
#9,515,649
of 27,777,630 outputs
Outputs from Genetics
#3,651
of 7,828 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#57,206
of 194,180 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Genetics
#14
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,777,630 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,828 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 194,180 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
