Abstract
Holocentric species are characterized by the presence of centromeres throughout the length of the chromosomes. We confirmed the holocentricity of the dioecious, small chromosome-size species Myristica fragrans based on the chromosome-wide distribution of the centromere-specific protein KNL1, α-tubulin fibers, and the cell cycle-dependent histone H3 serine 28 phosphorylation (H3S28ph) mark. Each holocentromere is likely composed of, on average, ten centromere units, but none of the identified and in situ hybridized high-copy satellite repeats is centromere-specific. No sex-specific major repeats are present in the high-copy repeat composition of male or female plants, or a significant difference in genome size was detected. Therefore, it is unlikely that M. fragrans possesses heteromorphic sex chromosomes.
期刊介绍：
Chromosome Research publishes manuscripts from work based on all organisms and encourages submissions in the following areas including, but not limited, to:

· Chromosome structure, function and mechanics;
· Chromosome and DNA repair;
· Epigenetic chromosomal functions (centromeres, telomeres, replication, imprinting,
dosage compensation, sex determination, chromosome remodeling);
· Architectural/epigenomic organization of the genome;
· Functional annotation of the genome;
· Functional and comparative genomics in plants and animals;
· Karyology studies that help resolve difficult taxonomic problems or that provide
clues to fundamental mechanisms of genome and karyotype evolution in plants and animals;
