Chromosome staining/banding/FISH
In Pindorama stock, AgNORs present terminally in long arm of chromosomes pairs 3, 5, 18 and in pairs 15, 16, 19 and bitelomerics on pair 4. In Lopei stock, AgNORs found terminally on long arm of chromosome pairs 3, 14 and in short arm in chromosome pairs 15, 19 and in short arm in pair 16. C-bands observed as small centrometric marks in chromosome pairs 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19 in Pindorama stock, and pairs 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 in Lopei stock, and associated with NORs in both stocks.
