The karyotype of G. maidensis comprises 2 n = 34 chromosomes, which decrease in length from 4.22% to 1.87% of DSL (Supporting Information, Fig. S2B; Table S2). The post-pachytene nuclei exhibit 17 bivalents (Fig. 2O). No multivalent associations are found in this species. One pair of 18S rDNA sites is located in the terminal region of the largest bivalent (Fig. 2P).
