Linkage relationships were established between the secalin loci, Sec 1 (40-K gamma and omega secalins, homologous to the wheat gliadins) and Sec 3 (HMW = high-molecular-weight secalins, homologous to the wheat HMW glutenin subunits), and five chromosomal rearrangements involving chromosome 1R of rye (Secale cereale L.). These were: interchanges T273W (1RL/5RS), T306W (1RS/5RL), and T850W (1RS/ 4RL), Robertsonian centromere split Rb1RW and the interchanged Robertsonian split Rb2R/248W. The analysis established the linkage relationships between the secalin loci and the breakpoints of the rearrangements, in addition to the quantitative effects of the rearrangements on the linkage. Sec-1 is located in the satellite at a position at least 2.5 cMorgan from the proximal border of the terminal C-band, and about 30 cMorgan from the nucleolar organizing region (NOR). The locus is also physically closer to the terminal C-band than to the NOR, but not as much as corresponds with the map distances. Similarly, the physical distance between Sec-3 and the centromere is greater than corresponds with the recombination frequency (0%-9%). Although overall recombination in 1RL remains the same, recombination between the centromere and Sec-3 is greatly reduced in the Robertsonian split combined with the interchange. This is not the case with the single Robertsonian split.

Swimming trapper decreases the proportion of chromosomally unbalanced spermatozoa in human Robertsonian translocation carriers.

Background: Carriers of reciprocal translocations often have more unbalanced spermatozoa and higher DNA fragmentation rates, elevating reproductive risk. The simple swim-up method (SSUM) can decrease the amount of spermatozoa with abnormal chromatin structure and fragmented DNA, however, it has limited efficacy in eliminating chromosomally unbalanced sperm.
Methods: The spermatozoa of eight Robertsonian translocation (Rob) carriers were split into three groups: original raw semen group (control group); SSUM and swimming trapper method group (STM) processed semen samples.

Mitotic chromosomes of butterflies, which look like dots or short filaments in most published data, are generally considered to lack localised centromeres and thus to be holokinetic. This particularity, observed in a number of other invertebrates, is associated with meiotic particularities known as "inverted meiosis," in which the first division is equational, i.e.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how wild emmer wheat in "Evolution Canyon" in Israel underwent ecological sympatric speciation (SS) through a process involving an ancestral bottleneck and subsequent diversification into three isolated populations.
- Two of these populations, SFS1 and SFS2, developed postzygotic isolation due to chromosomal rearrangements leading to hybrid sterility, despite existing in close proximity of less than 30 meters.
- The third population, located 250 meters away on a different slope, adapted to distinct environmental conditions, evolving resistance to fungal diseases while the other two populations developed unique adaptive traits for surviving harsh abiotic stresses.

Article Synopsis
- Robertsonian translocations, especially centric fusions, are believed to significantly influence the evolution and speciation of the Bovidae family, yet they can vary within species and may not be useful for phylogenetic insights.
- The study examines chromosome variation in 72 captive individuals from 6 species of Alcelaphini, utilizing G-banded karyotypes and complete mitochondrial sequences to infer their phylogenetic relationships.
- Findings reveal that chromosomal changes leading to speciation in these antelopes involve a mix of fusions and reversions, indicating more complex patterns of chromosomal evolution than previously understood.
