From: DNA content, repeatome composition and origin of the Zea mays micronuclei
Genomic composition of the Z. mays micronuclei. 180-bp knob signals dispersed on (a) nuclei/micronuclei, showing different spots and fluorescence intensity between the micronuclei. (b) 180-bp knob sequence was mapped in the long arm of the chromosomes 1 (heterozygosity), 2, 4, 5 and 8, and in the short arm of the chromosome 5 (heterozygosity). Based on this, (a) micronuclei possess sequences of these Z. mays chromosomes. Scattered Grande LTR-retrotransposon signals on (c) nuclei/micronuclei and on (d) all Z. mays chromosomes, indicating that the micronuclei may be composed of fragments of the ten Z. mays chromosomes. Bars = 10 µm.
