    AnnotationWe performed a detailed karyotype analysis in the codling moth, Cydia pomonella, the key pest of pome fruit in the temperate regions of the world. The karyotype consisted of 2n = 56 chromosomes. In pachytene nuclei, a curious NOR (nucleolar organizer region) bivalent was observed. It carried 2 nucleoli, each associated with one end of the bivalent as confirmed by FISH with an 18S ribosomal DNA, which detected 2 clusters of rRNA genes. Pachytene oocytes showed a sex chromosome bivalent (WZ). Molecular differentiation of the sex chromosomes was studied using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). GISH detected the W chromosome by strong binding of the female-derived DNA probe. With CGH, both the female-derived probe and male-derived probe evenly bound to the W chromosome. This suggested that the W chromosome is predominantly composed of repetitive DNA sequences occurring scattered in other chromosomes but accumulated in the W chromosome.
