In plants, the term translocation refers to the long-distance transport of water, minerals, or food. It is most often used to refer to the transport of food material from one part of the plant to another, or from source to sink. Thus, sugars produced...

In genetics, chromosomal translocation refers to type of interchange of chromosome pieces of DNA following breakage, in which segments are transferred between nonhomologous chromosomes. When this exchange occurs without a net loss or gain of genetic...

Translocation is the process within plants that functions to deliver nutrients and other molecules over long distances throughout the organism. Translocation occurs within a series of cells known as the phloem pathway, or phloem transport system, with...

In genetics, a chromosome translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes. It is detected on cytogenetics or a karyotype of affected cells. There are two main types, reciprocal (also known as...

ABSTRACT Maize B-A translocations result from reciprocal interchanges between a supernumerary B chromosome and an arm of an essential A chromosome. Because of the frequent nondisjunction of the B centromere at the second pollen mitosis, B-A translocations have been used to locate genes...

The analysis of chromosome translocations by fluorescence in situ hybridization ("whole chromosome painting") is the gold standard endpoint for radiation biological dosimetry. Translocation formation requires mis-repair of two or more DNA double-strand breaks, a critical class of damage that is efficiently induced by ionizing...
