Samples of haploid and hybrid seed from three different maize donor genotypes after maternal haploid induction were used to test the capability of automated near-infrared transmission spectroscopy to individually differentiate haploid from hybrid seeds. Using a two-step chemometric analysis in which the seeds were first classified according to genotype and then the haploid or hybrid status was determined proved to be the most successful approach. This approach allowed 11 of 13 haploid and 25 of 25 hybrid kernels to be correctly identified from a mixture that included seeds of all the genotypes.

To identify nucleolus organizing regions (NORs), fluorescence hybridization (FISH) with 18S rDNA probe was performed on chromosomes of Linnaeus, 1758 (Tenthredinidae), (Linnaeus, 1767) (Argidae) (n = 10 in both) and (Bouché, 1834) (Cynipidae) (2n = 20). In all these species, a single pericentromeric rDNA cluster per haploid karyotype was detected. This number of NORs is confirmed as ancestral for the order Hymenoptera.

species are systemic, often seed-transmissible symbionts (endophytes) of cool-season grasses (Poaceae subfam. Poöideae) that produce up to four classes of bioprotective alkaloids. Whereas haploid species may reproduce sexually and transmit between host plants (horizontally), many species are polyploid hybrids that are exclusively transmitted via seeds (vertically).

Atlantic salmon is an important aquaculture species that has fascinated naturalists for centuries, resulting in its biology being widely characterized. Certain details about the early development and the inheritance of meristic variation in the post-cranial axial skeleton are, however, largely unexplored. The present study gives a detailed description of the sequence of formation of the post-cranial axial skeleton based on whole-mount staining and used radiology to investigate the inheritance of meristic variation in isogenic hybrid all-male families of Atlantic salmon (~4 kg).

Monoclonal female gametophytes of Saccharina japonica, when cultured independently, can develop into female sporophytes. Previous research has shown that the chromosomes in female sporophytes of S. japonica may naturally duplicate, forming diploids, and these diploid female sporophytes are capable of forming sori and releasing zoospores.
