[Abstract]: We have analysed different populations of European mussels belonging to genus “Mytilus” in order to clarify the karyotype complements of these three species (“M. edulis”, “M. galloprovincialis” and “M. trossulus”). ...

[Abstract] The analysis of C-banding, NOR and fluorochrome staining was carried out in three species of European mussel, "Mytilus edulis", "M. galloprovincialis" and "M. trossulus". The results obtained allow us to detect ...

[Abstract] The karyotypes and the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) of “M. californianus” and “M. trossulus” from the Pacific coast are reported here for the first time. The karyotypes show seven metacentric and seven ...

[Abstract] In this study, we have carried out the cytogenetical characterization of “Mytilus galloprovincialis” L. (2n = 28) using conventional staining and banding techniques such as fluorochromes and restriction endonucleases ...
