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.

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.

Synthesis of fluorochrome-modified deoxyribonucleotides has been carried out mostly by linking the fluorochrome molecule to the C-5 position of dUTP via an allylamine spacer, similar to the modification of allylamine-dUTP with the haptens biotin and digoxigenin. Recently, a new series of fluorescent nucleotides has been prepared by using an alkynyl bridge between the uracil moiety and the fluorochrome. Here we report the qualitative and quantitative analysis of fluorescence in situ hybridization results obtained on interphase cells and chromosomes with a variety of highly repetitive and single-copy DNA probes that were modified by nick translation with such alkynyl dUTPs. A qualitative comparison was made of the alkynyl dUTPs conjugated to the fluorochromes fluorescein, the cyanine dye Cy3, tetramethylrhodamine, Lissamine and Texas Red. With the exception of tetramethylrhodamine, all fluorochromes performed satisfactorily. The cyanine dye Cy3 provided the highest sensitivity, i.e., cosmid and YAC probes could easily be visualized by conventional fluorescence microscopy. In a quantitative assay, different nick translation conditions were tested using a human chromosome 1 satellite III probe (pUC1.77) and alkynyl dUTPs labeled with fluorescein and Cy3. Using these two nucleotides, FISH signal intensities on interphase nuclei from human lymphocytes were quantitated by digital imaging microscopy. The strongest signals were obtained when during nick translation the ratio between dTTP and fluorescein-dUTP or Cy3-dUTP was 1:5.

We describe the simultaneous localization of DNA sequences in cell and chromosome preparations by means of differently fluorochrome-labeled (AMCA, FITC, TRITC) tyramides using the catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD) procedure. For this purpose, repeated as well as single-copy DNA probes were labeled with biotin, digoxigenin, and FITC, hybridized, and visualized with three different cytochemical detection systems based on horseradish peroxidase conjugates. These were sequentially applied to interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes at low concentrations to prevent crossreaction and nonspecific background. In situ localized peroxidase activity was visualized by the deposition of fluorochrome-labeled tyramide molecules. To allow specific deposition of a second and a third tyramide conjugate for multiple-target fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), remaining peroxidase activity was always completely inactivated by a mild acid treatment before application of the next peroxidase conjugate. The CARD reactions were optimized for maximal signal-to-noise ratio and discrete localization by tuning reaction time, H2O2, and tyramide concentrations. For both repeated and single-copy DNA targets, high FISH signal intensities were obtained, providing improvement of sensitivity over conventional indirect detection systems. In addition, the fluorescence CARD detection system proved to be highly efficient and easy to implement in multiple-labeling studies, such as reported here for FISH.

Procedures for chromosome analysis and sorting using flow cytometry (flow cytogenetics) were developed for rye (Secale cereale L.). Suspensions of intact chromosomes were prepared by mechanical homogenization of synchronized root tips after mild fixation with formaldehyde. Histograms of relative fluorescence intensity obtained after the analysis of DAPI-stained chromosomes (flow karyotypes) were characterized and the chromosome content of the DNA peaks was determined. Chromosome 1R could be discriminated on a flow karyotype of S. cereale 'Imperial'. The remaining rye chromosomes (2R–7R) could be discriminated and sorted from individual wheat–rye addition lines. The analysis of lines with reconstructed karyotypes demonstrated a possibility of sorting translocation chromosomes. Supernumerary B chromosomes could be sorted from an experimental rye population and from S. cereale 'Adams'. Flow-sorted chromosomes were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes for various DNA repeats. Large numbers of chromosomes of a single type sorted onto microscopic slides facilitated detection of rarely occurring chromosome variants by FISH with specific probes. PCR with chromosome-specific primers confirmed the identity of sorted fractions and indicated suitability of sorted chromosomes for physical mapping. The possibility to sort large numbers of chromosomes opens a way for the construction of large-insert chromosome-specific DNA libraries in rye.Key words: chromosome isolation, chromosome sorting, fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA sequences, wheat-rye addition lines, B chromosomes, physical mapping.
