According to the REAL/WHO classification, the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) should be based on clinical, histopathological, immunological and cytogenetic or molecular data. This study is based on 13 cases, which were initially diagnosed as MCL with the use of conventional cytogenetic method and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). MCL is associated with a specific cytogenetic aberration t(11;14)(q13;q32). The chromosomal analyses confirmed the MCL diagnosis in four cases. A neartetraploid cell line and two copies of t(11;14) were observed in three cases. These results correspond with a blastoid variant of MCL, accompanied by aggressive course and poor prognosis. The presence of karyotype with t(11;14) as the sole anomaly predicts an intermediate clinical outcome. Six patients had normal karyotypes, which is characteristic for the typical form of MCL, associated with a better prognosis. In this study we show that detection of chromosomal abnormalities is useful in diagnosis of MCL and has some prognostic significance.

Meiotic behavior was analyzed in 6 progenies from 3 artificially induced tetraploid (2n = 4x = 36) sexual genotypes (C31, C41, and C48) of the normally apomictic Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) Stapf., syn. Urochloa brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R. Webster. These are key plants to allow intraspecific hybridization of this important forage species, widely used for pastures in the tropics. The percentage of abnormal cells among the plants ranged from 39.8% to 63.2%. In the single plant derived from C48, only the common meiotic abnormalities typical of polyploids were observed, while in plants derived from C31 and C41, a distinct behavior was found. In the majority of cells of those plants, the chromosomes remained scattered in the cytoplasm in the first division, without forming a metaphase plate. This abnormality blocked chromosome movements at anaphase I. Several micronuclei of various sizes were formed and, after the occurrence of an irregular first cytokinesis, the meiocytes progressed normally to the second division, generating polyads with unbalanced microspores. Pollen viability was not correlated with meiotic abnormalities. The importance of these findings to the Brachiaria breeding program is discussed. The sexual progeny of C48 seems most suitable as female parents to be used in intra- and interspecific hybridization.
