Abstract

In the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica L.) nucleolar organizer regions (NOR) were detected by a combined silver-Giemsa method (Ag-G). The main sites of NORs are the secondary constrictions of chromosomes 8 and 10. Sometimes an additional NOR was observed near the centromere of 1 homologue of chromosome 11. Association of NORs were seen only between chromosomes 10 and at a very low frequency.
