Differential C-heterochromatin distribution in two species of freshwater fish, Anabas testudineus (Bloch.) and Puntius sarana (Hamilton.).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anabas testudineus (2n = 46) had the more conserved pattern of its C-heterochromatin distributed mainly in the centromeric region, whereas Puntius sarana (2n = 50) exhibited a rather unorthodox pattern, many chromosomes showing interstitial, some telomeric and a few chromosomes showing centromeric C-band localization. Further, lateral asymmetry in distribution of heterochromatin was also noted in two pairs of chromosomes in P. sarana. The possible implications of the differential distribution noted in these two species has been discussed.

Anabas testudineus (commonly known as ‘climbing perch’) is a euryhaline teleost, inhabiting both freshwater and brackish water ecosystems of India and other South East Asian countries. It thrives well in water deficient in dissolved oxygen and is capable of migrating between ponds taking advantage of the accessory respiratory organs, the labyrinthine organs. The market demand for this fish is v...

The short-term action of thyroid hormone tri-iodothyronine (T3) was studied in vivo and in vitro on antioxidant enzyme activities in a teleost Anabas testudineus (Bloch). T3 injection in vivo (200 ng) in normal fish decreased the lipid peroxidation products and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities after 30 min. T3 in vitro (10 M) increased t...
