    In situ hybridization in Actinidia using repeat DNA and genomic probes

     In situ hybridization has been used to probe chromosome spreads of hexaploid Actinidia deliciosa (kiwifruit; 2n=6x=174) and tetraploid A. chinensis (2n=4x=116). When a species-specific repeat sequence, pKIWI516,...

    Ploidy races in Actinidia chinensis

    Ploidy levels were examined in 26 accessions of Actinidia chinensis: 20 accessions were diploid (2n=2x=58) and 6 accessions were tetraploid (2n=4x=116). There was no evidence of variation in ploidy level within a...

    The Role of Enzyme Inactivation in the Regulation of Glutamine Synthesis in Yeast: in vivo Studies Using 15NH3

    Studies using isotopically-labelled ammonia have shown that in the yeast, Candida utilis, almost all the ammonia assimilated enters into two compounds, glutamate and glutamine (Figure 1).
