Abstract excerpt
Meiotic features and fate of germ cells were studied using electron microscopy on surface spread spermatocytes and in situ tests for apoptosis on testicular tissues of normal boars and X-autosome translocation (X-AT) carrier boars. Histological sections of the translocation t(Xp+; 14q-) carrier boars showed accumulation of degenerating germ cells including binucleate and multinucleate cells, as well as pyknosis...
