A Alignment of repeat unit consensus sequences of MelSat DNAs containing CENP-B box-like motif and ChFa (1d-2b) satDNAs from M. chitwoodi and M. fallax described previously [10]. CENP-B box-like motif is indicated within the boxed area. Nucleotide identities between Meloidogyne CENP-B box-like motif (reverse complement) and human CENP-B-box (YTTCGTTGGAARCGGGA; [13]) were provided for each satDNAs as a quotient on the right side of the alignment. B Fluorescence in situ hybridization of CENP-B box-like containing satDNAs (MelSat02 and MelSat42) (red signals) on M. incognita mitotic female chromosomes. Selected chromosomes were indicated with numbers. C Fluorescence in situ hybridization of CENP-B box-like containing satDNAs (MelSat02, MelSat36, MelSat42, MelSat61, MelSat72 and MelSat83) (red signals) on M. arenaria mitotic female chromosomes. Chromosomes are counter-stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar: 1 μm
