Karyological characteristics during basidiosporogenesis of Rhizopogon roseolus, a member of the hypogeous Agaricomycetes, were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. More than 1000 tissue fragments of young basidiomata were stained with HCl-Giemsa and observed by a light microscopy to evaluate nuclear behavior. Basidium morphology in the hymenium was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Meiosis and post-meiotic mitosis took place in the center of the basidium. Sterigmata appeared when the first meiotic division occurred, and the center of the basidium became constricted when the second meiotic division occurred. Asynchronous nuclear migration from the basidium into the basidiospores occurred after post-meiotic mitosis, producing eight uninucleate basidiospores. The nucleus migrated patchily into basidiospores. The pattern of post-meiotic mitosis of R. roseolus, in which post-meiotic mitosis took place in the center of the basidium, is reported for the first time.

The Arabidopsis KASH protein SINE3 is involved in male and female gametogenesis.

The Arabidopsis KASH protein SINE3 is involved in male and female gametophyte development, likely affecting the first post-meiotic mitosis in both cases, and is required for full seed set. Linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes are protein complexes spanning the inner and outer membranes of the nuclear envelope (NE) and are key players in nuclear movement and positioning. Through their roles in nuclear movement and cytoskeletal reorganization, plant LINC complexes affect processes as diverse as pollen tube rupture and stomatal development and function.

In many species, the transmission of B chromosomes (Bs) does not follow the Mendelian laws of equal segregation and independent assortment. This deviation results in transmission rates of Bs higher than 0.5, a process known as "chromosome drive".

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how gene expression and chromatin changes occur during spermatogenesis, especially during meiotic prophase.
- Researchers discovered a protein complex made up of ZFP541 and KCTD19 that is crucial for regulating transcription during this phase in male mice.
- ZFP541 is shown to bind to and suppress various genes linked to transcription and chromatin modifications, which helps in ensuring the proper progression and completion of meiotic prophase.

Isolation of meiotic spermatocytes is essential to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying meiosis and spermatogenesis. Although there are established cell isolation protocols using Hoechst 33342 staining in combination with fluorescence-activated cell sorting, it requires cell sorters equipped with an ultraviolet laser. Here we describe a cell isolation protocol using the DyeCycle Violet (DCV) stain, a low cytotoxicity DNA binding dye structurally similar to Hoechst 33342.
