RESUMO

Cytogenetic studies were performed in three populations of Rhamdia quelen in Uberlândia-MG and one in Prata-MG. The results obtained evidenced a diploid number 2n=58 with 0-2 supranumerary chromosomes. The Nucleolus Organizer Regions were identified by silver nitrate and the NOR evidenced a simple heteromorphic NOR system. The three populations showed Ag-NOR in the short arm of the subtelo/acrocentric chromosome pair, in the Tijucos population the NOR is located on the intersticial region of the submetacentric pair. The preparations were stained with the specific G-C fluorochrome CMA3, some of the chromosomes exhibited a pale fluorescence, indicating other regions richness in G-C base pairs beyond the NORs. The C band pattern showed small heterochromatic blocks in the centromeric and telomeric regions. In the attempt of a complete characterization, Restriction Endonuclease Banding, Hoechst 33258 and Cd-banding were applied. This study confirms some results of literature and show new important results for the better understanding this specie.
