Treatment with potassium cyanide prevents the occurrence of diffuse silver precipitates on chromosome preparations. It therefore allows greatly increased times of incubation with silver solutions on both mitotic and meiotic preparations. By this method selective silver staining of active nucleolar organizers, centromeric regions and kinetochores of mitotic chromosomes and of specifically staining structures of meiotic chromosomes has been obtained.

Abstract
Treatment with potassium cyanide prevents the occurrence of diffuse silver precipitates on chromosome preparations. It therefore allows greatly increased times of incubation with silver solutions on both mitotic and meiotic preparations. By this method selective silver staining of active nucleolar organizers, centromeric regions and kinetochores of mitotic chromosomes and of specifically staining structures of meiotic chromosomes has been obtained.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
