  • Cytogenetic analysis of Anemarrhena ashodeloides BUNGE, which is one of medicinal plants belonging to Haemodoraceae was carried out using Feulgen staining. The somatic metaphase chromosome number was identified to 2n=22 (x=11) and the size of chromosomes ranges from $1.27-3.80\;{\mu}m$. Three pairs of chromosomes were relatively long in total length and the others were short. The karyotype was bimodal in chromosome length and arm ratios. The chromosome complement comprise eight pairs of metacentric (chromosome 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11), two pairs of submetacentric (chromosome 4 and 5), and one pair of subtelocentric (chromosome 1).

  • To study the relationship between the DNA content of human chromosomes and their involvement in radiation-induced structural chromosome aberrations, the frequencies of translocations and dicentrics induced in human lymphocytes after in vitro exposure to 2Gy of x-tay were analysed by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH). Single whole chromosome probes(WCP), specific for chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 21 and triple combination of probes tot chromosome 1, 2 & 4 were used separately. A significant deviation of the frequency of symmetrical translocation and dicentrics from a DNA-proportional distribution was observed. Chromosomes 2, 7, 8, 9 and 21 were less frequently involved in the formation of symmetrical translocations and dicentrics than expected, whereas chromosomes 1 and 4 were more frequently involved. Chromosome 2 and 4 showed a higher frequency of acentric fragments. When triple combination probe for chromosome 1, 2 & 4 was used, no differences were found between the observed and expected frequency of exchange type aberrations. The results showed that the frequency of radiation-induced chromosome aberrations was not proportional to DNA contents, suggesting the difference in the susceptibility to specific aberrations among individual chromosomes. The results also indicated that the FISH technique with combination of probes for chromosome 1, 2 & 4 was useful for radiation biodosimetry.

  • To elucidate cytogenetic differences, karyotype analysis and FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) with 45S and 5S rDNAs were carried out in the three Astragalas species: Astragalas membranaceus Bunge, A. membranaceus var. alpinus Nakai and A. mongholicus Bunge. The somatic metaphase chromosome numbers of all three species were 2n=2x=16 and the size of chromosomes ranged $2.19{\sim} 5.73\;{\mu}m$. The chromosome complement of A. membranaceus consisted of each four pairs of metacentrics (chromosomes 3,4,6 and 7) and submetacentrics (chromosomes 1,2,4 and 8). In A. membranaceus var. alpinus, the chromosome complement consisted of two pairs of metacentrics (chromosomes 4 and 8) and six pairs of submetacentrics (chromosomes 1,2,3,5,6 and 7). A. mongholicus had three pairs of metacentrics (chromosomes 6,7 and 8) and five pairs of submetacentrics (chromosomes 1,2,3,4 and 5). Using bicolor-FISH, one pair of 45S and 5S rDNA signals could be detected on the centromeric regions of chromosomes 8 and 7 of A. membranaceus and A. mongholicus, respectively. In contrast, A, membranaceus var. alpinus had one pair of 45S signals on the centromeric region of chromosome 8 and two pairs of 5S rDNA signals on the short arms of chromosomes 7 and 8.

  • Chromosome size, number and shape were studied by the centromeric index, the arm ratio and the relative length of chromosome. The chromosomes of 50 early chick embryos which were derived from a pure line of Single Comb White Leghorns were examined. Using a colchicine, hypotonic treatment, fixation and air-drying technique, the clear prometaphase figures were obtained from the whole embryo. The results of the present investigation of chromosome pairs were as follows, 1. Pair 1 and 2; metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes which could be clearly distinguished from each other by size. 2. Pair 3 and 4: acrocentric chromosomes of similar length but the 4th pair had a distinct short arm which was not present in the 3rd. 3, Pair 5; metacentric sex chromosomes, 2 chromosome had relative 5th length but the W chromosome had slightly shorter length than 7th pair of chromosomes. 4. Pair 6; acrocentric chromosomes similar in shape to pair 3 but of little more than half the size. 5, Pair 7 and 8; acrocentric chrocentric but the 7th pairs had a definite short arm. 6. Pair 9; similar length to the 7, 8 pairs but had a medially placed centromere. 7. microchromosomes of 30 pairs ; nearly all acrocentric chromosomes which appeared as paired dots. The total number of diploid was appeared to 72-78. But a number of observations presented the total diploid number in 78 (58%). The inconstancy in number observed in this study was presumably due to the minute size of the microchromosomes. Thus, the modal numbers for the diploid chromosome was at least 78.

  • Chromosome analysis using karyotyping and bicolor FISH were carried out for two Maackia species (M. fauriei and M. amurensis) found in Korea. The somatic metaphase chromosome number was 2n = 2x = 18 in both, and the size of these chromosomes ranged from 3.58 to $5.82{\mu}m$. The chromosome complements consisted of two pairs of metacentric (chromosomes 1 and 7), four pairs of submetacentrics (chromosomes 4, 6, 8 and 9) and three pairs of subtelocentrics (chromosomes 2, 3 and 5) in M. fauriei but, chromosomes 4 (subtelocentric) and 7 (submetacentric) of M. amurensis have different morphology. Using bicolor FISH, a pair of 45S rDNA loci were observed for both M. fauriei and M. amurensis, but the number and site of the 5S rDNA signal were different in the two species. M. fauriei has two pairs of 5S signals on chromosomes 7 and 8 but, M. amurensis has four paris on chromosomes 3, 4, 7 and 7. Hence, the 5S rDNA is a useful FISH for Maackia species.

  • The task for chromosome analysis and diagnosis by experienced cytogenetists are being concerned as repetitive, time consuming job and expensive. For that reason, intelligent agent based on chromosome knowledge base using web has been developed to be able to analyze chromosomes and obtain necessary advises from the knowledge base instead of human experts. That is to say, the knowledge base of IF THEN production rule was implemented to a knowledge domain with normal and abnormal chromosomes, and then the inference results by the knowledge base could enter the inference data into the database. Experimental data were composed of normal chromosomes of 2,736 cases and abnormal chromosomes of 259 cases that have been obtained from GTG-banding metaphase peripheral blood and amniotic fluid samples. The completed intelligent agent for the chromosome knowledge base provides variously morphological information by analysis of normal or abnormal chromosomes also has the advantage of being able to consult with the user on the chromosome analysis and diagnosis.

  • Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures at the ends of chromosomes consisting of DNA sequences arranged in tandemly repeated units $(TTAGGG)_n$. However, this hexamers can also occur at non-telomeric sites in some avians and vertbrate. This study was carried out to present the distribution of telomeric DNA sequences in Korean Native Chicken chromosomes. The fluorescence in situ hybridization technique using a telomeric DNA probe was performed to the metaphase spreads of chicken early embryonic cells. Telomeric DNA signals were detected at the ends of chromosomes including macrochromosomes and microchromosomes. In chicken, surprisingly, chromosome 1 showed very distinct interstitial telomeric DNA hybridization patterns which located two interstitial sites in the p-arm at 1p11 and 1p23, and one in the q-arm at 1q32. In chromosome number 2 and 3 also displayed interstitial telomeric signals (ITS) in the long arms at 2q24 and 3q32, respectively. The pattern of telomeric DNA distribution in Korean Native Chicken chromosomes was in agreement with a previously reported in Gallus domesticus. The relative amount of telomeric DNA sequences in each macrochromosomes ranged from 4.6% to 16.3%. Distribution of telomeric DNAs at the end of p-arm was much more than that of q-arm in almost chicken chromosomes. The distribution of ITS in chicken chromsomes implicate to tandem chromosome fusions that might have occurred during the process of karyotype evolution.
