Abstract excerpt
Constitutive heterochromatin and genome size were studied in Phyllotis darwini, three Phyllotis xanthopygus subspecies, and their interspecific laboratory hybrids. P. darwini, with no or only small C-bands, had the smallest genome size; P. xanthopygus rupestris and P. x. vaccarum, with large C-bands in all the chromosomes, had the largest; and P. x. xanthopygus, with heterochromatin only in a few chromosomes,...
