Abstract

Abstract Some features of polytene chromosomes of Phaseolus coccineus suspensor during two stages of early embryogenesis. – The distribution of DNA and RNA puffs in the whole genome of the giant cells of the Phaseolus coccineus embryo suspensor has been detected in two stages of embryo development. The collected data show that the chromosome regions showing the highest frequency of DNA puffs in both analysed stages are the following: i) band B (the fraction proximal to secondary constriction) of chromosome pair I and band E of chromosome pair V. When the two stages of development are however compared, it is seen that the % of DNA puffs in chromosome pair is at least double in suspensors dissected from the first stage of embryo development (86% in the first stage; 41% in the second stage). As to chromosome pair V band E organizes DNA puffs in 36% and in 50% of observed chromosomes in the first and second stage respectively; ii) band A of chromosome pair II, with a frequency of 52% (first stage) and 27% (se...
