THE KOREAN FIELD MOUSE APODEMUS PENINSULAE (RODENTIA) AS A MODEL STUDY OF B CHROMOSOME POLYMORPHISM IN MAMMALIA Galina V. Roslik, Irina V. Kartavtseva Institute of Biology & Soil Science, FEB RAS, Vladivostok, (Russia)
Supernumerary (or Additional, or B) chromosomes – are enigmatic part of the eukariotic genome. Theproblemof B chromosomepolymorphismisveryimportantforunderstandingtheexistenceandroleofthe "extra" DNA intheMammalia. B chromosomepolymorphismiswidely distributed in plants and rarely in animals. B chromosomes have near 50 (Vujošević, Blagojević, 2004) or – 70 (Трифонов и др., 2010)speciesof Mammals..
The standard chromosome setof the Korean field mouse, Apodemus peninsulaecontains 48 acrocentric chromosomes , and supernumerary chromosomes varying in number from 0 to 30- in Siberia and from 0 to 7 in the Russian Far East. The B chromosomemorphotypes are different in size (vary from big to small) and morphology (vary from macro to micro Bs, more frequently meta-, submetacentrics and micro Bs and rare subtelo-, acrocentrics and mini Bs).
THE AIM OF THE WORK WAS: • To analyse B chromosome polymorphism of the Korean field mouse Apodemus peninsulae Thomas 1906 using different cytogenetic methods and approaches
Routine methods: • - the total number of chromosomes and identify as A and B chromosomes • - the diversity of their size and morphology (morphotype) of B chromosomes • - the nature of mosaicism (cellular clones)

DIFFERENTIAL METHODS: • the autosomic pairs, • sex chromosomes, • the peculiarities and patterns of structural organization of A and B chromosomes

X, Y – sex chromosomes, M – macro Bs, m – micro Bs. c M M Different possible pathways for B chromosome origin in siberian and far-eastern mice: either from autosomes or sex chromosomes (Rubtsov et al., 2004; 2005; 2009).
CONCLUSIONS: • The significance of cytogenetic methods for the comprehensivestudy on B chromosome polymorphism in Apodemuspeninsulae have been shown. • So, each method makes a several contribution to the analysis of mice karyotypes, making in whole, an integrated picture of the B chromosome study. • Thus, it appears that altogether cytogenetic methods and approaches (routine and differential) were very relevant inthestudyof B chromosome polymorphism in Mammalia.
