Feulgen-DNA Content and C-Banding of Robertsonian Transformed Karyotypes in Dugesia Lugubris
SUMMARYIn the planarian species, Dugesia lugubris, two biotypes are found: E (2n = 8, n = 4) and F (2n = 6, n = 3); on the basis of karyometric studies it has been hypothesized that the second was derived from the first through a Robert-sonian mechanism of centric fusion. The quantitative cytochemical data reported here confirm the hypothesis of karyotype evolution, since there are no significant differences between the DNA content of the nucleus in the two biotypes. The regenerative blastemas of both biotypes contain a number of cellular populations with a variable Feulgen-DNA content; these correspond to successive doublings of the 2C diploid content. In addition, metaphase plates with multistranded chromosomes have been found. A difference between the chromosome C-banding in the two biotypes has also been observed

Genome size and constitutive heterochromatin in Hilobates muelleri and Symphalangus syndactylus and in their viable hybrid
Genome size was measured as the amount of Feulgen-stained DN A in six species of the family Hylobatidae and in a hybrid of the gibbon t Hylobates muelleri) and siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus). The family, on the w hole, exhibits a w ider range of genome sizes than pongids: In particular, the siamang has about 15% more DNA than the 44-chromosome Hylobates spe cies of the “lar” group. Quantitative analysis of C-heterochromatin in hybrid metaphases showed that the difference in genome size of the parental species correlates with the amount of C-band-positive material. Hylobatids are the only group of primates in which karyotype diversification has taken place with a massive quantitative change in constitutive heterochromatin

Genome size was measured as the amount of Feulgen-stained DNA in six species of the family Hylobatidae and in a hybrid of the gibbon (Hylobates muelleri) and siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus). The family, on the whole, exhibits a wider range of genome sizes than pongids; in particular, the siamang has about 15% more DNA than the 44-chromosome Hylobates species of the "lar" group. Quantitative analysis of C-heterochromatin in hybrid metaphases showed that the difference in genome size of the parental species correlates with the amount of C-band-positive material.
