AB  - Chromosomal landmarks in four Pinus species: P. densiflora, P. thunbergii, P. 
      sylvestris, and P. nigra were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization 
      (FISH) using hapten- or fluorochrome-labeled probes for the plant telomere 
      repeat, centromeric repeat ( PCSR), and rDNA. FISH landmarks were located at the 
      interstitial and proximal regions of chromosomes and allowed us to identify 
      nearly all of the homologous chromosomes in each species. A comparative analysis 
      of the FISH karyotypes among the four species showed that the interstitial FISH 
      signals obtained by hybridization with the telomere and rDNA sequences were 
      stable and could be used to identify homologous chromosomes among species. The 
      identification of homologous chromosomes among species facilitated a detailed 
      comparative karyotype analysis. The results suggest that the degree of 
      chromosomal differentiation among the four Pinus species is very low and that the 
      proximal regions vary in their DNA sequences. The similarities and differences 
      among FISH karyotypes are discussed in relation to phylogeny.
