G-banding Chromosomes of Chinese Crucian Carp from Cultured Fin Cells

Abstract

By the trypsin treatment method, clear G-banding structures were demonstrated on the chromosomes of cultured fin cells of Chinese crucian carp, Carassius auratus auratus with 2n=100. More precise karyotyping was done on the basis of the G-banding patterns. Problems of phylogeny and chromosome structure of the crucian carp were discussed based on the results of this study.
