GTG Banded Karyotype of Anatolian River Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis, 2n=50)

Abstract

The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is one of the most important farm animals of Turkey. There are two types of the water buffalo: river and swamp. While the chromosome number of the river type is 2n=50, that of swamp type is 2n=48. It was reported that the Anatolian water buffalo has 2n=50 chromosomes as being river type but the GTG banded karyotype has not been reported so far. We here report for the first time a GTG banded karyotype of the Anatolian water buffalo.

Anadolu Mandası (Bubalus bubalis, 2n=50) GTG Bantlı Karyotipi

Abstract

Anadolu Mandası (Bubalus bubalis) Türkiye yetiştirilen önemli çiftlik hayvan genetic kaynaklarından biridir.Mandalarda Nehir ve bataklık mandaları olmak üzere iki alt gurup bulunur.Nehir Mandalarının kromozom sayısı 2n=50 iken Bataklık Mandalarının 2n=48 dir .Anadolu mandalarının kromozom sayısı nehir mandası olarak 2n=50 olarak rapor edilmiş olmakla beraber henüz GTG bantlı karyotip çalışması yapılmamıştır.Bu çalışmada Anadolu Mandalarının GTG bantlı karyotipi ilk olarak gösterilmiştir.

Keywords
