PG - 71-9 AB - We compare the chromosomal 28S and 5S rDNA patterns of the spined loach C. taenia (2n = 48) from an exclusively diploid population and from a diploid-polyploid population using 28S and 5S rDNA probe preparation and labelling, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The 5S rDNA was located in two to three chromosome pairs, and separated from the 28S loci for the males and one female (F1) from the diploid population. Loaches from a diploid-polyploid population, and one female (F2) from the diploid population were characterized by at least one chromosome pair with 5S and 28S overlapping signals. The fishes differed mainly in their number of 28S rDNA loci, located on 3-6 chromosomes. All individuals from both populations were characterized by one acrocentric chromosome bearing a 28S rDNA signal on the telomeres of its long arm. The number of major ribosomal DNA in the karyotype of C. taenia by FISH was always higher than the number of Ag-NORs. Our data confirm the extensive polymorphism of NORs in both populations, as already has been observed in closely related Cobitis species, and less polymorphic 5S rDNA pattern. However, this preliminary result highlights the need for a wider scale study. FAU - Boron, Alicja AU - Boron A AD - Department of Zoology, University of Warmia and Mazury, M.
