From: FISH-based mitotic and meiotic diakinesis karyotypes of Morus notabilis reveal a chromosomal fusion-fission cycle between mitotic and meiotic phases

Figure 5

Chromosome numbers and FISH on metaphase chromosomes (2n = 12) using 25S rDNA as probe in wild adult M. notabilis trees (a) Metaphase chromosome numbers from three wild adult trees were counted in 100 metaphase cells for three replicates. Standard deviations were calculated. The chromosome number of 14 was the most common in all three trees. Only 11–20% of the cells had 2n = 12 metaphase chromosomes. (b) A pair of FISH signals from the 25S rDNA probe were located on the 2n = 12 metaphase chromosomes of M. notabilis. Arrows indicated the FISH signals of the 25S rDNA probe. Scale bar represents 5 μm.
