Histological Investigation Of The Rectal Sac In Bombyx Mori L., Gamze Turgay İzzetoğlu, Ayla Öber
Histological Investigation Of The Rectal Sac In Bombyx Mori L., Gamze Turgay İzzetoğlu, Ayla Öber
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The rectal sac (Rs) is formed by enlargement of the rectal portion of the hindgut in Bombyx mori. The Rs consists of epithelium, connective tissue, and many rectal pads (Rps). Rps have a cortex and medulla. In the medulla 2-5 pyramidal epithelial cells synthesize proteinic secretory material (Ps), and then this substance localizes within epithelial cells and connective tissue. It was thought that lipoid secretory material (Ls) was synthesized by epithelial cells in the midgut and was delivered to the Rs; however, Ls was localized in the epithelium of the Rs and in the periphery of Rps. Both secretions were …

Cytogenetic Characteristics Of Microtus Dogramacii (Mammalia: Rodentia) Around Amasya, Turkey, Zülal Atli Şekeroğlu, Haluk Kefeli̇oğlu, Vedat Şekeroğlu
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The banding patterns of chromosomes of Microtus dogramacii, a recently described vole species endemic to Turkey, were studied. G-, C-, and Ag-NOR-banded patterns of this species are reported here for the first time. In this study, 2 karyotypical forms were determined. Each form had the same diploid chromosome numbers (2n = 48), but possessed different autosomal morphologies. For this reason, the samples collected from the research area were karyologically separated into 2 groups, cytotype-1 (NF = 50) and cytotype-2 (NF = 52). All chromosomes possessed centromeric/pericentromeric heterochromatin bands in both karyotypical forms. It was shown that the acrocentric chromosomes of …
