Abstract
The ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) cluster was located in the nucleolus organizer and was genetically determined as one locus. We speculated by using sequence differences in the functional rDNA unit that the segregation time between Chinese and Japanese types of B. mandarina is about three million years ago. The differences of the amount of inserted non-LTR retrotransposons, R1Bm and R2Bm, in rDHA cluster were used for the identification of B.mori strains. (omitted)
