a In total, 14 out of 22 centromeres are enriched in the 455 bp (green) tandem repeat, and all centromeres contain the pVuKB2 (red) tandem repeat. The position of functional centromeres was confirmed by cowpea CENH3 immunostaining (magenta). b pVuKB2 signals (red) are flanked by 455 bp tandem repeats (green) in naturally extended pachytene chromosomes. Further enlarged centromere regions are shown as inserts in merged pictures.
