Nuclear Architecture and its Manipulation

  • Chapter
Gene Manipulation in Plant Improvement

Part of the book series: Stadler Genetics Symposia Series ((SGSS))

Abstract

Nuclear architecture has many dimensions and is perceived and portrayed by scientists in many different ways. These dimensions include anatomical, cytological, genetical, nucleotypical, molecular, temporal, spatial, developmental and evolutionary aspects. Moreover, in that genetical information is encoded in the anatomy of the DNA molecule, and genome size is correlated with the rate and duration of cell and plant development (Bennett, 1972 and 1977), then clearly these different dimensions are not independent of each other.
