Locations of CENH3 and CentC on maize chromosome 3. (A) Locations of CENH3 (green) and CentC (red) on chromosome 3 in OMA3.01. The CENH3 and CentC signals on maize chromosome 3 are exemplified in the large square. Note: The CENH3 signals are shifted away from the CentC signals toward the short-arm direction. (B) Locations of CENH3 (green) and CentC (red) on chromosome 3 in Seneca 60. The CENH3 and CentC signals on one chromosome 3, which are completely overlapped, are shown in the large square. Arrows point to the FISH signals derived from the 8.7-kb probe associated with the short arm of chromosome 3. Bars, 10 μm.
