Meiotic mapping, a linkage-based method for analyzing the recombinant progeny of a cross, has long been a cornerstone of genetic research. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a powerful system because it is possible to isolate and cultivate the four products (spores) of a single meiotic event. However, the throughput of this process has historically been limited by the process of identifying tetrads in a heterogeneous population of vegetative cells, tetrads, and dyads followed by manual separation (dissection) of the spores contained in a tetrad. To date, methods that facilitate high throughput characterization and isolation of meiotic progeny have relied on genetic engineering. Here, we characterize the ability of the fluorescent dye DiBAC (5) to stain yeast tetrads and dyads as well as to adhere to spores following bulk tetrad disruption. Applications include quantitative assays of sporulation rates and efficiency by flow cytometry as well as enrichment of intact tetrads, dyads, or disrupted spores by fluorescence-activated cell sorting in strains that have not been genetically modified.

In this contribution, the divergent modular synthesis of photoredox-active dyads, triads and a tetrad descending from one ligand precursor is presented by combining "chemistry-on-the-ligand", stepwise complexation and "chemistry-on-the-complex" with minimal synthetic efforts. In the final step, Pd-mediated borylation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling was employed to introduce the different (multi)donor moieties at the preassembled P-A dyad subunit. The (spectro-)electrochemical data revealed preserved redox properties of the subunits and minimal driving force for oxidative quenching by the naphthalene diimide-based (NDI) acceptor and, thus, high-energy charge separated (CS) states.

Susceptibility of the reproductive system to temperature fluctuations is a recurrent problem for crop production under a changing climate. The damage is complex as multiple processes in male and female gamete formation are affected, but in general, particularly pollen production is impaired. Here, the impact of short periods of elevated temperature on male meiosis of tomato ( L.

In this study, the results of the first detection of callose within the ovules of the representatives of the family Crassulaceae are presented. This study was carried out on three species of the genus Sedum. Data analysis showed differences in the callose deposition pattern between Sedum hispanicum and Sedum ser.

Introduction: Recent studies in wheat emphasized the importance of TEs, which occupy ~85% of the wheat genome, as a major source of intraspecific genetic variation due to their recent activity and involvement in genomic rearrangements. The contribution of TEs to structural and functional variations in bread wheat genes is not fully understood.
Methods: Here, publicly available RNA-Seq databases of bread wheat were integrated to identify TE insertions within gene bodies (exons\ introns) and assess the impact of TE insertions on gene expression variations of homoeologs gene groups.

Batesian mimicry may result in remarkable cases of phenotypic convergence that represent classic examples of evolution through natural selection. The existence of mimicry systems among coral snakes, however, remains controversial because of contradictions between the predictions of mimetic theory and the empirical patterns of co-occurrence and species abundance. Here, we analyze the geographic distribution of coral snake species of the genus Micrurus and populations of the false coral snake Atractus latifrons in Amazonia, and perform ecological niche modeling (ENM) analyzes to generate potential geographic distributions of species of Micrurus and A.
