Abstract
DNA probes containing the repeated rDNA region of Drosophila melanogas ter (coding for e.g. 28S and 18S rRNA) hybridized in situ to distinct regions of two heterologous mitotic chromosomes of the honeybee, ident ifying the nucleolus organizing regions (NORs). The method allows a ra pid establishment of a physical map of Apis mellifera using other DNA probes of Drosophila. This is the first report on well-defined chromos omal markers in the honeybee.
