The karyotype and C-banding analysis of Ae.squarrosa was carriedout by framedrying slides of smear method and differential stain withGiemsa technique.The genome of Ae.squarrosa possesses seven pairs ofchromosomes,i.e.5 metacentric,1 submetacentric and 1 satellitedchromosomes.Except No.1 chromosome,all chromosomes showed cen-tromere bands.However,some of them appeared fainter intercalaryand telomere bands which varied greatly.Peroxidases and esterase iso-zymes of Ae.squarrosa were detected by polyacrylamide ...
