Description

Somatic chromosomes of seven taxa of Asian haploxylon pines, Pinus armandii var. amamiana, P. armandii var. armandii, P. parviflora, P. pumila, P. x hakkodensis, P. koraiensis and P. bungeana, and a American species of P. edulis were observed by a fluorescent banding method using chromomycin A3 (CMA) and 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The chromosome number of all taxa was 2n=24 and their karyotypes were composed of 22 long metacentric chromosomes and two short heterobrachial chromosomes as previous reports. CMA-bands appeared at the interstitial region and not at the proximal region of metacentric chromosomes. Interstitial CMA-bands were observed on 16-18 long metacentric chromosomes in chromosome complement of most species excepting for P. bungeana having six interstitial CMA-bands. The short chromosomes of most species have an interstitial CMA-band on their long arms and that of P. edulis had a proximal CMA-band. Clear proximal CMA- or DAPI-bands appeared in most species of subgenus Pinus were not observed in species of subgenus Strobus examined. DAPI-dots appeared at centromeric regions of all chromosomes and many thin DAPI-bands did at interstitial regions as appeared in the species of subgenus Pinus. The karyotype analysis combined with CMA- and DABI-bandings was useful for identification of each homologous chromosome and for chromosomal relationship among species in haploxylon pines.
