Summary Ag-NOR staining and a counterstain enhanced fluorescence technique (chromomycin A3/distamycin A/DAPI-staining = CDD-method) and G-banding, respectively, have been applied to the zebu (Bos indicus L.) chromosomes. The nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) were found in the telomeric regions of chromosomes nos. 2, 3, 4, 11, and 28. CDD staining led to a well-defined R-banding pattern along the chromosome arms and to the visualization of centric heterochromatic bands of variable sizes.
