Ribosomal RNA genes in plants are highly variable both in copy number and in intergenic spacer (IGS) length. This variability exists not only between distantly related species, but among members of the same genus and also among members of the same population of a single species. Analysis of inherita

Nucleologenesis has been studied in three Zea mays L. inbred lines (W23, A188 and B37) which posses 5 000, 7 000 and 10 000 rRNA genes per 2C nucleus respectively. The larger the number of rRNA genes the strain has, the later in the new cycle the fully organized nucleolus is found, and the larger i
The number of ribosomal RNA genes and the rate of ribosomal RNA synthesis have been analyzed in a mutant ofXenopus laevis carrying two partial nucleolar organizers (pl-a/pl-2 nu). The p 1-1 and pl-2 nueleolar organizers have fewer ribosomal RNA genes than the normal (+ nu) organizer, and each produc
Hyla chrysoscelis (2n = 24) and H. versicolor (2n = 48) are a diploidtetraploid species pair of tree frogs. Hybridization saturation of isolated 12SI-labeled ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) with filter-immobilized DNA shows that there are twice as many rRNA genes in the tetraploid as in the diploid. For the
