Loss of nucleolar organizer regions during chromosomal evolution in the South American cricetid Graomys griseoflavus

Graomys griseoflavus is a South American phyllotine rodent having a remarkable Robertsonian polymorphism which may have produced reproductive isolation between 2n=42−41 and 2n=38−34 karyomorphs. Analysis of nucleolar organizer region (NOR) locations both by silver staining (Ag-NOR) and in situ hybri...

description Graomys griseoflavus is a South American phyllotine rodent having a remarkable Robertsonian polymorphism which may have produced reproductive isolation between 2n=42−41 and 2n=38−34 karyomorphs. Analysis of nucleolar organizer region (NOR) locations both by silver staining (Ag-NOR) and in situ hybridization revealed that 2n=42 individuals exhibit highly variable Ag-NOR patterns, while specimens of the 2n=38−34 karyomorphic group showed a single Ag-NOR pattern. The latter animals underwent two NOR deletions in reference to the 2n=42 karyomorphs, one of which would be the consequence of a Robertsonian fusion and the other would be produced by the unequal crossing-over mechanism. The differential NOR homogenization supports the hypothesis that G. griseoflavus karyomorphs are evolving separately towards the acquisition of separate species status.
