The present study provides data on the nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) of seven Brycon species based on mapping of the 18S rRNA genes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Fluorescent signals were observed on the telomere of the long arm of two large submetacentric chromosomes, thus confirming the number and location of NORs previously revealed by other classical cytogenetic techniques. Although there were no inter- or intra-individual variations in the number and location of the 18S loci, NOR size polymorphism was observed between homologous chromosomes. The clustering and conservation of NORs in a single chromosome pair indicates a high level of NOR stability among species of the genus Brycon. |

Cytogenetic analyses were performed in Cyphocharax modestus, collected at Paranapanema River and Tietê River (São Paulo State, Brazil). A karyotype with 2n = 54 chromosomes was observed in the animals from both Brazilian freshwater river systems. One to four B chromosomes were also detected in individuals from the Paranapanema River, which represents the probable first report of more than a single supernumerary element in a species of the Curimatidae group. C-banding revealed centromeric and telomeric heterochromatin blocks in several chromosomes of the normal karyotype complement of C. modestus. Moreover, while some B chromosomes were characterized by the complete absence of C-bands, others were totally heterochromatic. Although there was a prevalence of... |
