ABSTRACT

The cellular localization of IGF-I, IGF-II and MSTN proteins was investigated during ontogenesis of triploid sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) by an immunohistochemical approach. The results were compared with those observed in diploids. IGF-I immunostaining was mainly observed in skin, skeletal muscle, intestine and gills of both diploids and triploids. From day 30 of larval life, IGF-I immunoreactivity observed in skeletal muscle, intestine, gills and kidney was stronger in triploids than in diploids. At day 30, triploids exhibited a standard length significantly higher than the one of diploids. Although IGF-II and MSTN immunoreactivity was detectable in different tissues and organs, no differences between diploids and triploids were observed. The spatial localization of IGF-I, IGF-II and MSTN proteins detected in this study is in agreement with previous findings on the distribution of these proteins in diploid larvae and fry. The highest IGF-I immunoreactivity observed in triploids suggests a possible involvement of ploidy in their growth performance.

ABSTRACT

Twenty-eight polymorphic microsatellites were isolated from the sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, using a microsatellite enrichment protocol and selective hybridization with oligonucleotide probes. Analysis for these markers and 11 recently described microsatellites of D. labrax found linkage between 26 loci and revealed eight linkage groups.

ABSTRACT

In the present paper the chromosome complement (n = 13; 2n = 26) of the common leech Haemopis sanguisuga (L.) (Annelida: Hirudinea: Hirudinidae) was analyzed using banding techniques and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with three repetitive DNA probes [ribosomal DNA (rDNA), (TTAGGG)n and (GATA)n]. FISH with the rDNA probe consistently mapped major ribosomal clusters (18S-28S rDNA) in the pericentromeric region of one large metacentric chromosome pair; this region, which consisted of heterochromatin rich in GC base pairs, was preferentially stained by silver nitrate (Ag-NOR). The (TTAGGG)n telomeric probe was hybridized with the termini of nearly all chromosomes, whereas the (GATA)n probe did not label any chromosome areas.

ABSTRACT

Spermatocyte chromosomes of Melarhaphe neritoides (Mollusca, Prosobranchia, Caenogastropoda) were studied using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with four repetitive DNA probes (18S rDNA, 5S rDNA, (TTAGGG)n and (GATA)n). Single-colour FISH consistently mapped one chromosome pair per spread using either 18S or 5S rDNA as probes. The telomeric sequence (TTAGGG)n hybridized with termini of all chromosomes whereas the (GATA)n probe did not label any areas. Simultaneous 18S-5S rDNA and 18S-(TTAGGG)n FISH demonstrated that repeated units of the three multicopy families are closely associated on the same chromosome pair.

ABSTRACT

A cytogenetical study was carried out on the chromosomes and nuclear DNA amounts of the terrestrial earthworms Octodrilus complanatus and Eisenia foetida (Annelida: Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae). Chromosomes were studied using Giemsa staining, banding methods and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with two repetitive DNA probes [rDNA and (TTAGGG)n]. rDNA FISH and silver staining consistently identified one chromosome pair per spread in both species. The telomeric sequence (TTAGGG)n hybridized with termini of all the chromosomes in both earthworms. Flow cytometry DNA assays showed that O. complanatus and E. foetida had different nuclear DNA contents (2C value=1.72 and=1.40 pg, respectively) but very similar base composition in their genomes.
