## Abstract We show that the chromatin in mitotic chromosomes can be drastically overcompacted or unfolded by temporary shifts in ion concentrations. By locally βmicrosprayingβ reactants from micronβsize pipettes, while simultaneously monitoring the size of and tension in single chromosomes, we are

Dacus cucurbitae is a serious pest of various types of fleshy: fruits and vegetables. The mitotic and salivary chromosomes were reinvestigated using the air-drying and different (C-and H-) banding techniques with a view to rectify the existing controversy regarding the Indian populations ofthi s spe
Two different mitotic spatial models (Lavania & S harma, Biosystems 14:171 178, 1981, Ashley & Pocock, Genetica 55:16 l-! 69, 198 l) for the arrangement of the chromosomes in the nucleus are analysed for the sake of comparison and assessment. In general, the two models propose nearly the same orient
