Analysis of NORs and NOR-associated heterochromatin in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk.

Martínez-Expósito MJ , Méndez J , Pasantes JJ .


???displayArticle.abstract???
The chromosomes of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis were analysed by means of chromomycin A3 (CMA), distamycin A/DAPI (DA/DAPI), DAPI/actinomycin D (DAPI/AMD) and chromomycin A3/distamycin A/DAPI (CDD) fluorescence banding techniques, C-banding, silver staining, N-banding and in situ hybridization with 18S+28S rDNA and telomere probes. 18S+28S rDNA clusters were located on the telomeres of two pairs of submeta/subtelocentric chromosomes. The nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) were associated with bright CMA fluorescence, dull DAPI fluorescence and C- and N-positive bands, but not all four NOR-associated heterochromatin bands showed bright CMA fluorescence in a given cell; intra- and interindividual variability was found in this character. Additional non-ribosomal C-bands did not show any differential fluorescent behaviour.
