Localization of LTR retrotransposons on mitotic metaphase chromosomes of male Silene latifolia (Tišnov population) using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). a AngelaCL1 gag and (d) LTR probe, (b) TekayCL4 gag and (e) LTR probe, (c) AngelaCL7 ORF and (f) LTR probe. Chromosomes were counterstained with DAPI (blue), LTR retrotransposon probes are represented by red signals, the tandem repeat X43.1 (green) labels most chromosomal subtelomeres, but only q-arm of the Y chromosome. Bars indicate 10 μm
