Heterochromatin patterns in triatomines of the genus Panstrongylus.
Cytobios, 2000 Spermatogenesis was analysed by C-banding in two species of triatomines, Panstrongylus megistus and P. herreri. Both species revealed interstitial and terminal bands in the autosomes, which is a common pattern in Heteroptera. The terminal bands corroborated the hypothesis that in holocentric chromosomes the heterochromatin is preferentially located at ...
