Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), which allows direct mapping of DNA sequences on chromosomes, has become the most important technique in plant molecular cytogenetics research. Repetitive DNA sequence can generate unique FISH patterns on individual chromosomes for karyotyping and phylogenetic analysis. FISH on meiotic pachytene chromosomes coupled with digital imaging systems has become an efficient method to develop physical maps in plant species. FISH on extended DNA fibers provides a high-resolution mapping approach to analyze large DNA molecules and to characterize large genomic loci. FISH-based physical mapping provides a valuable complementary approach in genome sequencing and map-based cloning research. We expect that FISH will continue to play an important role in relating DNA sequence information to chromosome biology. FISH coupled with immunoassays will be increasingly used to study features of chromatin at the cytological level that control expression and regulation of genes.

A new approach for locating single-copy DNA sequences on pachytene chromosomes of maize (Zea mays L.) was developed. A cosmid clone with homologous sequences to a molecular marker (umc105a) linked to a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for resistance against sugarcane borer (SCB) was physically mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to the short arm of chromosome 9. The marker umc105a was genetically placed in the centromeric region. To suppress signals generated by maize repetitive DNA, competitive in situ suppression (CISS) hybridization was necessary to obtain specific signals from umc105a. A centromere specific DNA probe (CentC) was used in a double-labeling technique as a reference marker. Fluorescence signals generated by umc105a cosmid and CentC were specific and highly reproducible. Thus the single-copy DNA sequence of umc105a was physically localized on the short arm of chromosome 9 near the telomere. This is the first report of physical localization of single-copy DNA sequence by CISS hybridization to a maize pachytene chromosome.Key words: fluorescence in situ hybridization, maize, pachytene chromosome, single-copy sequence, CISS hybridization.

A fluorescence in situ hybridization procedure was developed to detect a 2.6 kb single/low copy DNA sequence on chromosomes of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and rye (Secale cereale). The probe, pTtksuI26, was from the wheat genomic library generated at Kansas State University and was labeled with Bio-11-dUTP by nick translation. The signal was amplified by a protocol of avidin–FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate), biotinylated goat anti-avidin antibody, avidin–FITC. Two rye chromosomes and several wheat chromosomes showed the hybridization sites. The multiple sites in wheat are probably the result of the homoeologous nature of the three genomes in wheat. The ability to detect the hybridization signal of a small single/low copy DNA sequence is a very important step towards the physical mapping of plant genomes. This procedure might also be useful for studying the genomic relationship among wheat relative species.Key words: wheat, Triticum aestivum, rye, Secale cereale, fluorescence in situ hybridization, single copy DNA mapping.

Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), the positions of DNA sequences can be discretely marked with a fluorescent spot. The efficiency of marking DNA sequences of the size cloned in cosmids is 90-95%, and the fluorescent spots produced after FISH are ≈0.3 μm in diameter. Sites of two sequences can be distinguished using two-color FISH. Different reporter molecules, such as biotin or digoxigenin, are incorporated into DNA sequence probes by nick translation. These reporter molecules are labeled after hybridization with different fluorochromes, e.g., FITC and Texas Red. The development of dual band pass filters (Chromatechnology) allows these fluorochromes to be photographed simultaneously without registration shift.
