Species Specific

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to localise two species-specific repetitive DNA sequences, A001-I and D32-13, and two highly conserved 25S and 5S rDNA sequences on the metaphase chromosomes of two species of Alstroemeria. The Chilean species, Alstroemeria aurea (2n = 16), has abundant constitutive heterochromatin, whereas the Brazilian species, Alstroemeria inodora, has hardly any heterochromatin. The A. aurea specific A001-I probe hybridized specifically to the C-band regions on all chromosomes. The FISH patterns on A. inodora chromosomes using species-specific probe D32–13 resembled the C-banding pattern and the A001-I pattern on A. aurea chromosomes. There were notable differences in number and distribution of rDNA sites between the two species. The 25S rDNA probe revealed 16 sites in A. aurea that closely colocalised with A001-I sites and 12 in A. inodora that were predominantly detected in the centromeric regions. FISH karyotypes of the two Alstroemeria species were constructed accordingly, enabling full identification of all individual chromosomes. These FISH karyotypes will be useful for monitoring the chromosomes of both Alstroemeria species in hybrids and backcross derivatives.Key words: Alstroemeria, fluorescence in situ hybridization, FISH, repetitive DNA, ribosomal DNA, karyotype.

We have localized the major ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci on metaphase chromosomes and in interphase nuclei of white spruce (2n = 24) by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Hybridization sites of the biotin-labelled rDNA probe were detected using antibody–fluorochrome conjugates and a confocal laser scanning microscope. White spruce has at least 12, and possibly as many as 14, rDNA sites, 1 site present on each of seven separate chromosome pairs. This is one of the highest numbers of rDNA loci yet reported among plant species. The position of the rDNA loci together with secondary constriction patterns permit, for the first time, all homologous pairs of white spruce chromosomes to be distinguished. We discuss the application of molecular cytogenetics in studies relating to the organization and evolution of DNA sequences within conifer genomes.Key words: fluorescence in situ hybridization, Picea, rDNA, karyotype.

The repetitive DNA sequences of the newt, Triturus viridescens, have been studied by nucleic acid hybridization procedures. Complementary RNA was synthesized enzymatically from unfractionated newt DNA. This RNA hybridized strongly to the centromeric regions of both somatic and lampbrush chromosomes It also bound to other loci scattered along the lengths of the chromosomes The amplified ribosomal DNA in the multiple oocyte nucleoli was demonstrated by in situ hybridization

The Individual

The molecular characterization of heterochromatin in six lines of rye has been performed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The highly repetitive rye DNA sequences pSc 119.2, pSc74, and pSc34, and the probes pTa71 and pSc794 containing the 25S–5.8S–18S rDNA (NOR) and the 5S rDNA multigene families, respectively, were used. This allowed the individual identification of all seven rye chromosomes and most chromosome arms in all lines. All varieties showed similar but not identical patterns. A standard in situ hybridization map was constructed following the nomenclature system recommended for C-bands. All FISH sites observed appeared to correspond well with C-band locations, but not all C-banding sites coincided with hybridization sites of the repetitive DNA probes used. Quantitative and qualitative differences between different varieties were found for in situ hybridization response at corresponding sites. Variation between plants and even between homologous chromosomes of the same plant was found in open-pollinated lines. In inbred lines, the in situ pattern of the homologues was practically identical and no variation between plants was detected. The observed quantitative and qualitative differences are consistent with a corresponding variation for C-bands detected both within and between cultivars.Key words: fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA, rye, Secale cereale, polymorphism.
