An ovarian chromosome map of Anopheles stephensi.
A polytene chromosome map of Anopheles stephensi has been prepared from the ovarian nurse cells of adult females. Many homologous regions can be recognized in comparisons between the ovarian and salivary gland chromosome maps but band for band homologies are not readily evident. The preparation of polytene chromosomes from ovarian nurse cells is easier than from the larval salivary glands and the results more consistent.
