G- and C-banding pattern analyses of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius coreae) using 17 specimens from four localities in Korea revealed that centromeric heterochromatin results in the variation of No. 1 chromosome pair (telocentri $c_telocentric), i.e., centromeric heterochromatin sometimes appeared to be recognized as short arm. G- and C-banding patterns of four black rats (R. rattus rufescens) from two localities in Korea showed that No. 1 chromosome polymorphism (telocentri $c_telocentric) is due to pericentric inversion. In addition, G- and C-banding patterns of black rats mentioned above are idiogrammed.ammed.

한국산 박새속 조류 Porus maior(박새), Parus ater(진박새), Parus palustris(쇠박새), Parus varius(곤줄박이)의 핵형을 C-banding 방법으로 분석한 결과 ZZ-ZW 염색체를 동정, 확인할 수 있었으며, 구조적 이질염색질의 부위가 일반염색 방법에 의한 핵형 비교에서 보다 종간에 더 많은 차이를 나타냈다. 그러나 일반염색 방법과 C-banding 방법 만으로는 4종간의 종분화 기작을 추측할 수 없었다. The chromosomal analysis of Paws motor, Paws ater, Pahs palustris and Pows varius of the genus Paws in Korea were performed by C-handing method. The identification of sex chromosones was ascertained and the part of constitutive heterochromatin was more different between interspecies than by conventional Giemsa staining method. However, conventional Giemsa staining and C-banding methods could not explain mechanisms of speciation between four species.

Giemsa C-banded karyotypes of A. thunbergii, A. deltoide-fistulosum, A. cyaneum and A. cyaneum var. deltoides were analyzed, and the interspecific relationships were investigated on the basis of the C-banding patterns. The banding pattern of each species was unique and made possible an easy and clear separation among them. A. thunbergii and A. deltoide-fistulosum revealed very close banding relationship but a. cyaneum and A. cyaneum var. deltoides showed significant difference in banding pattern in spite of their close plant systematic position.

The present study was carried out to establish the standard karyotype of the Korean Native Chicken and to find their chromosomal band markers using high-resolution banding technique. Chromosome analysis was performed on early chick embryos following in vitro culture of fertilized eggs of the yellow-brown and the red-brown lines of the Korean Native Chicken which had been established at National Livestock Research Institute. The high-resolution banding of the chromosome was achieved by treating the embryos with ethidium bromide and colchicine during culture. On GTG-banding, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited a typical chick banding pattern in all the macrochromosomes. Overall chromosomal morphology and positions of typical landmarks of the Korean Native Chicken were virtually identical to those of White Leghorn and International System for Standardized Avian Karyotypes(ISSAK). However, the lengths and G-band numbers of the Korean Native Chicken macrochromosomes were greater than those of White Leghorn and ISSAK. Especially in chromosomes 1 and Z, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited more separated bands in compared with ISSAK. In C-banding patterns, although a lot of observed cells had C-band polymorphic patterns, almost the Korean Native Chicken macrochromosomes had heterochromatic C-band on centromeres and/or near terminal part. However, the heterochromatic C-band was constantly observed at the end of q-arm of Z chromosomes and on the whole W chromosome. In addition, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited distinctive heteromorphic patterns of C-bands on the centromere of chromosome 3 and at the end of q-arm of Z chromosome between homologous chromosomes.

Giemsa C-banding analysis with Korean rye strain revealed that individual chromosomes had characteristic banding patterns making it possible to distinguish the seven rye chromosomes one from another. It seems to be evident that B-chromosomes in rye contain proportionally more heterochromatin than autosomes.

The purpose of this paper to present morphological normal chick chromosomes and develope avian cytogenetic techniques including chromosome preparation and banding technique. The early chick embryos provide a consistent source of material with hish mitotic cells. Although chick embryo tissue gives excellent preparations, the 4-5 days embryo is somewhat incovenient materials, Most imp of ant for avian Chromosome analysis are the technical protocols to achieve adequate preservation, spreading, and staining of the full chromosome complement. To precise chromosome analysis, pro-metaphase states are required. Best results of banding will be obtained from air dried slides prepared from early chick embryos that have been aged at least 1 week. Good G-banding differentiation is achieved by adequate trypsin digestion fellowed by staining in Goe,sa dye. The results of C-banding is influenced by many factors including the conditions of Ba(OH)$_2$, HCl treatment, and state of rinsing. In addition to precisely interprets banding patterns, the densitometric analysis is recommended.

The chromosomal analyses of Dendmcopos major hondoensis and D. leucotos Ieucotos(Picidae:Piciformes) in Korea were performed by conventional Giemsa staining and C-banding method. The diploid number of two species was 2n=90-92 and arm number was AN= 92-96.The conventional karyotypes were very similiar but distribution of constitutive heterochromatin were differ in the first chromosome. The second and several pairs of macro-telocentric chromosbmes have telomeric constitutive heterochromatin.

This study was carried out to identify the chromosome morphological structure and G-, C-banding pattern of Korean native fowl. The samples used in this study were early chick embryos, and the method of chromosomal analysis quoted from the protocal of Ohio univ. with more or less modified. The results were summerized as follow as； 1. In each of macrochromosomal morphology, the arm-ratio, centromeric index, and relative length of Korean native fowl were more or less different from improved breeds, but the designations were the same. 2. The graphical pecks, by densitometric recordings, in each macrochromosome number of 1, 2, 3, 4, Z, and 5, numbered 21, 14, 12, 8, 11, and 4 in G-banded, and 16, 13, 9, 9, 9, and 4 in C-banded, respectively. Those pecks could be explained as a consequence of chromosome condensation during mitosis and of genetic material differences.

The karyotype of Korean short-hair cat was presented using the G-, C- and NOR-banding techniques. For chromosomes preparation, the fetus skin fibroblast cells were cultured and metaphases were obtained. In results, the Korean short-hair cat had 38 chromosomes with XX or XY, which consisted of 5 pairs of metacentric chromosomes(Group A and C), 3 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes (Group B), 6 pairs of medium metacentric chromosomes except for 1 pair of medium submetacentric D2 chromosomes (Group D, E), 2 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes(Group F) and metacentric X and Y sex chromosomes. In G-banding analysis, the Korean short-hair cat exhibited a typical and identical G-banding pattern in each homologous chromosome. Total number of bands and landmarks on the G-banded chromosomes of Korean short-hair cat well correspond to those of international standardization of karyotype of domestic cat. The heterochromatins of Korean short-hair cat chromosomes distributed at terminal and/or centromere regions on almost chromosomes by C-banding analysis. In addition, the C-banding pattern showed greatly heteromorphic in some chromosomes. Using the AgNOR-staining, we found the nucleolar organizer regions(NORs) of Korean short-hair cat located at chromosomes 1p12 site in E group. The quantity and number of NORs were constant among cells.

To obtain the genetic information of Korean native livestock, the karyotyping of Korean native chick were performed by high-resolution banding technique. The chromosomes were prepared from lymphocyte culture and early embryos with 200 Korean native chick which have been raised at National Livestock Research Institute. There were no significant difference between Korean native chick and Leghorn in the number of chromosomes and chromosomal morphological pattern. Using high resolution banding technique, the yield of G-bands of prophase is much greater than that can be obtained by International System for Standardzed Avian Karyotypes(ISSAK, 1999). The G-band landmarks of Korean native chick were similar to those of ISSAK and Leghorn except some macrochromosomes. chromosome Z and 3 had C-band variants with heteromorphic patterns on distal and centromeric site. The proportion of constitutive heterochromatin, the heterochromatin ratio of Korean native chick was significantly more than that of Leghorn in all chromosomes.
