Sturgeon Species

The number and distribution of the 18S–28S and 5S rRNA (rDNA) gene sequences were examined on mitotic chromosomes of six sturgeon species by two-colour in situ hybridization. Four of the six species, Huso huso, Acipenser stellatus, Acipenser sturio, and Acipenser ruthenus, with about 120 chromosomes, showed from six to eight 18S–28S rDNA signals, while 5S rDNA signals were on only one chromosome pair. The two species with 250–270 chromosomes, Acipenser baerii and Acipenser transmontanus, showed from 10 to 12 18S–28S sites and two chromosome pairs bearing 5S rDNA signals. In all examined species, the rather intense 5S rDNA signals apparently overlapped those of 18S–28S rDNA. These data support the diploid–tetraploid relationships between the two chromosome groups of sturgeons. The close association between the two rDNA families in species belonging to an ancestral fish order, such as Acipenseriformes, supports the hypothesis that the association represents a primitive condition.Key words: Acipenseriformes, FISH, fish cytogenetics, ribosomal genes.

5S Rrna Genes

The 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes represent one of the most abundant gene families in eukaryotic genomes and have been a model system for the study of molecular organization and evolution of multigene families in eukaryotes. This paper reports a detailed characterization of the 5S rRNA genes of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) with respect to chromosome assignment, chromosomal localization, copy number, and physical size. By restriction fragment length polymorphism, the tandemly repeated 5S rRNA genes were assigned to a region of chromosome 1 of tomato. These results were confirmed by in situ hybridization onto tomato metaphase chromosomes. The single hybridization signal was localized to the short arm of chromosome 1, in a region close to the centromere. Based on reconstruction experiments, it was estimated that the 400-bp repeating unit occurs in approximately 1000 copies per haploid genome. Physical characterization of the entire locus was then performed by means of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Digestion of high molecular weight DNA of tomato with restriction enzymes such as PvuII, ClaI, and BglII resulted in a very prominent band with a size between approximately 450 and 600 kb. This value closely matched the estimated size of the gene cluster based on reconstruction experiments. The data therefore suggest that all the 5S rRNA genes in tomato occur in a single, continuous array, uninterrupted by unrelated sequences.Key words: 5S rRNA genes, organization, Lycopersicon esculentum, in situ hybridization, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

In situ hybridization was used to physically map the 5S rRNA multigene family in three selected lines of hexaploid triticale and five lines of diploid rye. Using this technique, evidence for a new locus on the 3RS arm of the three triticale lines was first obtained, as well as confirmation of the presence of 5S rRNA loci on wheat and rye chromosomes of homoeologous groups 1 and 5. The new locus on the 3RS arm was confirmed in two lines of rye, Secale cereale L., although it was not present in the other rye varieties studied. We propose that the new 5S rRNA locus be referred to as 5SDna-R3.Key words: in situ hybridization, FISH, Secale, triticale, 5S rRNA genes.

Rrna Gene

A digoxigenin-labelled 5S rDNA probe containing the 5S rRNA gene and the adjacent intergenic spacer was used for in situ hybridization to metaphase and interphase chromosomes of a trisomic stock from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Three chromosomes of primary trisomic line IV (T. Butterfass. Z. Bot. 52: 46–77. 1964) revealed signals close to the centromeres. Polymorphisms of 5S rDNA repeats in a segregating population were used to map genetically the 5S rRNA genes within a cluster of markers in linkage group II of sugar beet. The concentration of genetic markers around the centromere presumably reflects the suppressed recombination frequency in centromeric regions. The correlation of physical and genetic data allowed the assignment of a linkage group to sugar beet chromosome IV according to line IV of the primary trisomics.Key words: Beta vulgaris, sugar beet, 5S rRNA, in situ hybridization, RFLPs, trisomics.
