Abstract
The karyotype of the aphid Aphis sambuci has been studied by means of C-banding, fluorochrome staining and AgNO3 staining. Heterochromatic a reas are confined exclusively to the X chromosomes. Interestingly, sil ver staining produces a clear-cut longitudinal differentiation of all chromosomes, which allows reliable identification of homologues.
