Genomic affinities between Tripsacum dactyloides (2n = 72) and Zea mays ssp. mays (2n = 20 + 5 B) were analyzed through GISH (genomic in situ hybridization) to ascertain the degree of chromosome homology between the two genera. Mitotic cells of T. dactyloides were simultaneously probed with total genomic DNA from Z. mays ssp .mays (2n = 20) and with rDNA (pTA71). A disperse pattern of hybridization signal among all 72 chromosomes, corresponding to maize total DNA, and six strong fluorescent signals due to the rDNA probe hybridizing on 3 chromosome pairs of T. dactyloides were observed. Mitotic chromosomes from Z. mays ssp. mays (2n = 20 + 5 B) were hybridized with a maize line that lacked B chromosomes and knobs and with total DNA from T. dactyloides. The knobless line of maize hybridized intensely on all chromosomes except for some regions where the probe bound less. Tripsacum dactyloides bound intensely on one terminal region of each B chromosome and to some regions of chromosome pairs 2, 6, and 8. These regions are DAPI positive and coincide with regions that displayed lower affinity with the probe from the knobless maize line. The possible significance of these results is discussed briefly.Key words: Tripsacum dactyloides, Zea mays ssp. mays, maize B chromosomes, genomic in situ hybridization, GISH.

Genomic in situ hybridization to somatic metaphase chromosomes of hexaploid wheat cv. Chinese Spring using biotinylated maize genomic DNA as a probe revealed the existence of amplified maize DNA sequences in five pairs of chromosomes. The in situ hybridization sites were located on chromosomes 1A, 7A, 2B, 3B, and 7B. One pair of in situ hybridization sites was also observed in hexaploid oat. The locations and sizes of in situ hybridization sites varied among progenitor species.Key words: Triticum aestivum, Zea mays, shared DNA sequences, genomic in situ hybridization.

Chromosomal Position

Supernumerary (B) chromosomes are dispensable genomic elements occurring frequently among grasshoppers. Most B chromosomes are enriched with repetitive DNAs, including satellite DNAs (satDNAs) that could be implicated in their evolution. Although studied in some species, the specific ancestry of B chromosomes is difficult to ascertain and it was determined in only a few examples. Here we used bioinformatics and cytogenetics to characterize the composition and putative ancestry of B chromosomes in three grasshopper species, Rhammatocerus brasiliensis, Schistocerca rubiginosa, and Xyleus discoideus angulatus. Using the RepeatExplorer pipeline we searched for the most abundant satDNAs in Illumina sequenced reads, and then we generated probes used in fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to determine chromosomal position. We used this information to infer ancestry and the events that likely occurred at the origin of B chromosomes. We found twelve, nine, and eighteen satDNA families in the genomes of R. brasiliensis, S. rubiginosa, and X. d. angulatus, respectively. Some satDNAs revealed clustered organization on A and B chromosomes varying in number of sites and position along chromosomes. We did not find specific satDNA occurring in the B chromosome. The satDNAs shared among A and B chromosomes support the idea of putative intraspecific ancestry from small autosomes in the three species, i.e., pair S11 in R. brasiliensis, pair S9 in S. rubiginosa, and pair S10 in X. d. angulatus. The possibility of involvement of other chromosomal pairs in B chromosome origin is also hypothesized. Finally, we discussed particular aspects in composition, origin, and evolution of the B chromosome for each species.

The genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) technique was used to discriminate between chromosomes of the C genome and those of the A and A/D genomes in allopolyploid oat species (genus Avena). Total biotinylated DNA from A. strigosa (2n = 2x = 14, AsAs genome) was mixed with sheared, unlabelled total DNA from A. eriantha (2n = 2x = 14, CpCp) at a ratio of 1:200 (labelled to unlabelled). The resulting hybridization pattern consisted of 28 mostly labelled and 14 mostly unlabelled chromosomes in the hexaploids. Attempts to discriminate between chromosomes of the A and D genomes in A. sativa (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD) were unsuccessful using GISH. At least eight intergenomic translocation segments were detected in A. sativa 'Ogle', several of which were not observed in A. byzantina 'Kanota' (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD) or in A. sterilis CW 439-2 (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD). At least five intergenomic translocation segments were observed in A. maroccana CI 8330 'Magna' (2n = 4x = 28, AACC). In both 'Ogle' and 'Magna', positions of most of these translocations matched with C-banding patterns.Key words: Avena sativa, oat, in situ hybridization, C-banding, Avena macrostachya.

Multi-color genomic in situ hybridization (MCGISH) was performed for mitotic cells of the somatic hybrids of Diospyros kaki (2n = 6x = 90) and D. glandulosa (2n = 2x = 30). Total DNA of D. kaki and D. glandulosa were isolated and labeled with biotin-16-UTP and digoxigenin (DIG)-11-UTP, respectively. The labeled DNAs were used as probes to differentiate parental chromosomes. The biotin-labeled probe was detected with avidin-rhodamine, and the DIG-labeled probe was detected with anti-DIG-FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate). Ninety chromosomes from D. kaki that showed reddish-orange and 30 chromosomes from D. glandulosa that showed greenish-yellow were observed under a fluorescence microscope. Some chromosomes showed cross-hybridization with both probes at their terminal or other chromosome regions. These results indicated that MCGISH could be used to analyze genomes of Diospyros species whose chromosomes are small and numerous.

Zea Luxurians

Since 1987 cytological evidence has arisen in our laboratory, pointing to x = 5 as the original basic chromosome number of maize and its related wild species. This paper deals with the analysis of the meiotic behavior of F1 hybrids Zea luxurians × Z. diploperennis (2n = 20) and Z. luxurians × Z. perennis (2n = 30). In the first hybrid the most frequent configuration was 8ll + 4l and in the latter was 5lll + 5ll + 5l. Applying GISH (genomic in situ hybridization) to mitotic chromosomes of Z. luxurians we found that DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) positive bands located in all telomeric regions of this species did not hybridize with either Z. perennis or Z. diploperennis genomic probe. Therefore, Z. luxurians has a repetitive sequence that can be used in fluorescent staining to identify its chromosomes. When GISH was employed on metaphase I of the 2n = 30 hybrid, all the univalents showed distinctive telomeres of Z. luxurians, while the bivalents did not present any signal. These findings show that the formation of bivalent-univalent configurations is not a random event. The bivalents tend to be spatially separated and are very often observed forming an independent group of 5II. Finally, trivalents were composed by one chromosome labeled in its telomeric regions, and two smaller and unlabeled ones. The use of chromosome markers of Z. luxurians demonstrated to be a good step forward in interpreting the nature of meiotic configurations in 2n = 30 Zea spp. hybrids. They can help to clarify the relationship between genomes and provide a useful addition to the taxonomic classification in the genus Zea.Key Words: Zea hybrids, evolution, cytogenetics, repetitive sequences, heterochromatic knobs.

The aim of this paper is to test with genomic in situ hybridization the genomic affinities between maize and its putative progenitor Zea mays subsp. parviglumis. Blocking procedures were applied for the purpose of improving discrimination among chromosome regions. Unlabeled genomic DNA from Z. mays subsp. parviglumis as a blocking agent and labeled genomic DNA from maize were hybridized on maize chromosomes. On the other hand, mitotic metaphases from Z. mays subsp. parviglumis were blocked with unlabeled genomic DNA of maize and hybridized with labeled genomic DNA from Z. mays subsp. parviglumis. Both experiments showed that either maize or Z. mays subsp. parviglumis chromosomes have their own unique sequences. This means an unexpected degree of divergence if Z. mays subsp. parviglumis is the only progenitor of maize, a result that is discussed in relation to our previous genomic in situ hybridization observations and to the different scenarios proposed about the origin of maize.Key words: evolutionary relationships, Zea mays subsp. mays, teosinte, Tripsacum, molecular cytogenetics, genomic in situ hybridization (GISH).

The gene composition, function and evolution of B-chromosomes (Bs) have been actively discussed in recent years. However, the additional genomic elements are still enigmatic. One of Bs mysteries is their spatial organization in the interphase nucleus. It is known that heterochromatic compartments are not randomly localized in a nucleus. The purpose of this work was to study the organization and three-dimensional spatial arrangement of Bs in the interphase nucleus. Using microdissection of Bs and autosome centromeric heterochromatic regions of the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) we obtained DNA probes for further two-dimensional (2D)- and three-dimensional (3D)- fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies. Simultaneous in situ hybridization of obtained here B-specific DNA probes and autosomal C-positive pericentromeric region-specific probes further corroborated the previously stated hypothesis about the pseudoautosomal origin of the additional chromosomes of this species. Analysis of the spatial organization of the Bs demonstrated the peripheral location of B-specific chromatin within the interphase nucleus and feasible contact with the nuclear envelope (similarly to pericentromeric regions of autosomes and sex chromosomes). It is assumed that such interaction is essential for the regulation of nuclear architecture. It also points out that Bs may follow the same mechanism as sex chromosomes to avoid a meiotic checkpoint.
