The chromosomes were-prepared through injecting phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and colchicine, hypotonic treatment, chopping air-dry, and squashing technology. The results show that the diploid chromosome numbers of the three Veneroida species are the same as 2n = 38. The karyotype of Solen grandis is 26m + 6sm + 2st + 4t, NF = 70, the karyotype of Saxidomus purpuratus is 32m + 2sm + 4st/t, NF = 72, and the karyotype of Mactra chinensis is 20m + 16sm + 2st/t, NF = 74. Satellite and sex chromosome were not found among the chromosomes of three species.展开更多

Chromosome analysis reveals that there are 88.18 ±6.79% aneuploidy embryos, and 28.70% aneuploids in pearl oysters of one-year age These aneuploids have five chromosomal conditions, such as 2n + 1(29), 2n + 2 (30), 3n-2 (40), 3n-1(41) and 3n + 1 (43). Results of growth measurement show that there is no significant difference between aneuploids (as a group) and diploids in body size and weight (p ＞ 0.10), but the aneuploide is obviously different from triploid (p ＜ 0.01). The mean body size and weight of aneuploids in diploid condition (2n ± 1 and 2n ± 2) are significantly smaller than those of diploids (p ＜ 0.01),but aneuploids within triploid condition (3n ± 1 and 3n ± 2) are not smaller than diploids in body size and weight (p ＞ 0.1).This study indicates Pinctada martensii Dunker could tolerate aneuploidy by 7 ～ 14% of the haploid genome, and that aneuploids of this species are viable under certain conditions.展开更多
