Mature sperm of Acheta domesticus, Acheta assimilis, Nemobius fasciatus, Nemobius confusus, Melanoplus femur-rubrum, Romalea microptera, Scudderia curvicauda, and Ceuthophilus nigricans were examined for DNA configuration by means of polarized fluorescence microscopy. In all cases, the results suggest that the DNA lies in unsupercoiled array, predominantly parallel to the elongate sperm head axes. Detailed calculations of the factors influencing the degree of polarization of the fluorescent emission from supercoiled DNA are contained in an appendix.
通过偏振荧光显微镜检查了家蟋蟀、拟家蟋蟀、条纹暗蝗、混淆暗蝗、红腿蝗、美洲蜚蠊、弯尾草螽和黑隐螽的成熟精子的DNA构型。在所有情况下,结果表明DNA呈非超螺旋排列,主要平行于细长的精子头部轴线。附录中包含了对影响超螺旋DNA荧光发射偏振程度的因素的详细计算。
