ABSTRACT
Like other cecidomyiid Diptera, Hessian fly has stable S chromosomes and dispensable E chromosomes that are retained only in the germ line. Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP), suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH), fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH), and sequencing were used to investigate similarities and differences between S and E chromosomes. More than 99.9% of AFLP bands were identical between separated ovary and somatic tissue, but one band was unique to ovary and resembled Worf, a non-LTR retrotransposon. Arrayed clones, derived by SSH of somatic from ovarian DNA, showed no clones that were unique to ovary. FISH with BAC clones revealed a diagnostic banding pattern of BAC positions on both autosomes and both sex chromosomes, and each E chromosome shared a pattern with one of the S chromosomes. Sequencing analysis showed that E chromosomes are nearly identical to S chromosomes, since no sequence could be confirmed to belong only to E chromosomes. There were a few questionably E-specific sequences that are candidates for further investigation. Thus, the E chromosomes appear to be derived from S chromosomes by the acquisition or conversion of sequences that produce the negatively heteropycnotic region around the centromere.
