摘要
A repeated sequence of 180 bp in tandem array has been isolated from the dioecious plant species Rumex acetosa which has a multiple sex chromosome system, XX female/XY(1)Y(2) male. There are two or three thin C-bands on the X while the Ys are almost entirely heteropycnotic and DAPI-positive but contain no C-band material. The Ys thus represent massive blocks of facultative heterochromatin. The 180 bp sequence has been localized to the X and both Y chromosomes by in situ hybridization. The molecular data support an origin of the sex-multiple from a homomorphic chromosome pair rather than from a sex chromosome/autosome translocation.
