For the first time, chromosomal polymorphism in karyotypes of three species from the section Hedysarum (= syn. Gamotion) of the genus Hedysarum L. (Fabaceae) grown in Southern Siberia has been studied with the useof molecular cytogenetic markers. This comparative molecular cytogenetic analysis revealed high similarity in morphology of chromosomes in H. alpinum L., H. austrosibiricum B. Fedtsch. and H. theinum Krasnob. as well as in patterns ofdistribution of 45S and 5S rDNA loci in their karyotypes confirming their close relationships. Considerable intra-specificpolymorphism on 45S rDNA chromosome localization was detected in H. theinum. In karyotype of H. alpinum, unlikethe other two species, two chromosome pairs bearing 5S rDNA locus were observed which could be used as additionalspecies-specific markers.

Abstract Background Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) played an essential role to locate the ribosomal RNA genes on the chromosomes that offered a new tool to study the chromosome structure and evolution in plant. The 45S and 5S rRNA genes are independent and localized at one or more loci per the chromosome complement, their positions along chromosomes offer useful markers for chromosome discriminations. In the current study FISH has been performed to locate 45S and 5S rRNA genes on the chromosomes of nine Lathyrus species belong to five different sections, all have chromosome number 2n=14, Lathyrus gorgoni Parl, Lathyrus hirsutus L., Lathyrus amphicarpos L., Lathyrus odoratus L., Lathyrus sphaericus Retz, Lathyrus incospicuus L, Lathyrus paranensis Burkart, Lathyrus nissolia L., and Lathyrus articulates L. Results The revealed loci of 45S and 5S rDNA by FISH on metaphase chromosomes of the examined species were as follow: all of the studied species have one 45S rDNA locus and one 5S rDNA locus except L. odoratus L., L. amphicarpos L. and L. sphaericus Retz L. have two loci of 5S rDNA. Three out of the nine examined species have the loci of 45S and 5S rRNA genes on the opposite arms of the same chromosome (L. nissolia L., L. amphicarpos L., and L. incospicuus L.), while L. hirsutus L. has both loci on the same chromosome arm. The other five species showed the loci of the two types of rDNA on different chromosomes. Conclusion The detected 5S and 45S rDNA loci in Lathyrus could be used as chromosomal markers to discriminate the chromosome pairs of the examined species. FISH could discriminate only one chromosome pair out of the seven pairs in three species, in L. hirsutus L., L. nissolia L. and L. incospicuus L., and two chromosome pairs in five species, in L. paranensis Burkart, L. odoratus L., L. amphicarpos L., L. gorgoni Parl. and L. articulatus L., while it could discriminate three chromosome pairs in L. sphaericus Retz. these results could contribute into the physical genome mapping of Lathyrus species and the evolution of rDNA patterns by FISH in the coming studies in future.

Chelidonium majus L. is a medicinal plant well-known as a valuable source of isoquinoline alkaloids, which has a variety of pharmacological properties including anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects. However, considerable intraspecific bio-morphological variability in C. majus complicates raw material identification and verification. For the first time, we have brought into cultivation five populations of C. majus subsp. majus originated from different regions, and performed their agro-morphological, microanatomical and molecular cytogenetic characterization. All examined populations produced high seed (18.6–19.9 kg/ha) and raw material (0.84–1.08 t/ha) yields; total alkaloid contents were within 0.30–0.38%. Nevertheless, significant differences in plant morphology and yield-contributing traits were observed. The performed microanatomical analysis of leaves and flowers in double- and normal-flowered plants revealed micro-diagnostic features (including tissue topography, types of stomata, laticifers, structure of leaf mesophyll, hairs, sepals and petals) important for identification of C. majus raw materials. The analysis of chromosome morphology, DAPI-banding patterns, FISH mapping of 45S and 5S rDNA and also chromosome behavior in meiosis allowed us to identify for the first time all chromosomes in karyotypes and confirm relative genotype stability of the studied plants. Our findings indicate that the examined C. majus populations can be used in further breeding programs.

Abstract Background: Kiwifruit has long been regarded as ‘the king of fruits’ for its nutritional importance. However, the molecular cytogenetics of kiwifruit has long been hampered because of the large number of basic chromosome (x=29), the inherent small size and highly similar morphology of metaphase chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is an indispensable molecular cytogenetic technique widely used in many plant species. Herein, the effects of post-hybridization washing temperature on FISH, blocking DNA concentration on genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), extraction method on nuclei isolation and the incubation time on the DNA fiber quality in kiwifruit were evaluated.Results: The post-hybridization washing in 2×SSC solution for 3×5 min at 37 ˚C ensured high stringency and distinct specific FISH signals in kiwifruit somatic chromosomes. The use of 50× blocking DNA provided an efficient and reliable means of discriminating between chromosomes derived from in the hybrids of A. chinensis var. chinensis (2n=2x=58) × A. eriantha Benth (2n=2x=58), and inferring the participation of parental genitors. The chopping method established in the present study were found to be very suitable for preparation of leaf nuclei in kiwifruit. A high-quality linear DNA fiber was achieved by an incubation of 20 min. The physical size of 45S rDNA signals was approximately 35-40 μmm revealed by the highly reproducible fiber-FISH procedures established and optimized in this study.Conclusions: The molecular cytogenetic techniques (45S rDNA-FISH, GISH, and high-resolution fiber-FISH) for kiwifruit was for the first time established and optimized in the present study, which is the foundation for the future genomic and evolutionary studies.

AbstractHigh- and low-stringency FISH and base-specific fluorescence were performed on the permanent translocation heterozygote Rhoeo spathacea (2n = 12). Our results indicate that 45S rDNA arrays, rDNA-related sequences and other GC-rich DNA fraction(s) are located within the pericentromeric regions of all twelve chromosomes, usually colocalizing with the chromomycin A3-positive bands. Homogenization of the pericentromeric regions appears to result from the concerted spread of GC-rich sequences, with differential amplification likely. We found new 5S rDNA patterns, which suggest a variability in the breakpoints and in the consequent chromosome reorganizations. It was found that the large 5S rDNA locus residing on each of the 8E and 9E arms consisted of two smaller loci. On each of the two chromosome arms 3b and 4b, in addition to the major subtelomeric 5S rDNA locus, a new minor locus was found interstitially about 40% along the arm length. The arrangement of cytotogenetic landmarks and chromosome arm measurements are discussed with regard to genome repatterning in Rhoeo.

To improve resolution of physical mapping on Brassica chromosomes, we have chosen the pachytene stage of meiosis where incompletely condensed bivalents are much longer than their counterparts at mitotic metaphase. Mapping with 5S and 45S rDNA sequences demonstrated the advantage of pachytene chromosomes in efficient physical mapping and confirmed the presence of a novel 5S rDNA locus in Brassica oleracea, initially identified by genetic mapping using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis visualized the presence of the third 5S rDNA locus on the long arm of chromosome C2 and confirmed the earlier reports of two 45S rDNA loci in the B. oleracea genome. FISH mapping of low-copy sequences from the Arabidopsis thaliana bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones on the B. oleracea chromosomes confirmed the expectation of efficient and precise physical mapping of meiotic bivalents based on data available from A. thaliana and indicated conserved organization of these two BAC sequences on two B. oleracea chromosomes. Based on the heterologous in situ hybridization with BACs and their mapping applied to long pachytene bivalents, a new approach in comparative analysis of Brassica and A. thaliana genomes is discussed.Key words: Brassicaceae, pachytene chromosomes, FISH, rDNA, BACs.

Molecular evolution of ribosomal DNA can be highly dynamic. Hundreds to thousands of copies in the genome are subject to concerted evolution, which homogenizes sequence variants to different degrees. If well homogenized, sequences are suitable for phylogeny reconstruction; if not, sequence polymorphism has to be handled appropriately. Here we investigate non-coding rDNA sequences (ITS/ETS, 5S-NTS) along with the chromosomal organization of their respective loci (45S and 5S rDNA) in diploids of the Hieraciinae. The subtribe consists of genera Hieracium, Pilosella, Andryala, and Hispidella and has a complex evolutionary history characterized by ancient intergeneric hybridization, allele sharing among species, and incomplete lineage sorting. Direct or cloned Sanger sequences and phased alleles derived from Illumina genome sequencing were subjected to phylogenetic analyses. Patterns of homogenization and tree topologies based on the three regions were compared. In contrast to most other plant groups, 5S-NTS sequences were generally better homogenized than ITS and ETS sequences. A novel case of ancient intergeneric hybridization between Hispidella and Hieracium was inferred, and some further incongruences between the trees were found, suggesting independent evolution of these regions. In some species, homogenization of ITS/ETS and 5S-NTS sequences proceeded in different directions although the 5S rDNA locus always occurred on the same chromosome with one 45S rDNA locus. The ancestral rDNA organization in the Hieraciinae comprised 4 loci of 45S rDNA in terminal positions and 2 loci of 5S rDNA in interstitial positions per diploid genome. In Hieracium, some deviations from this general pattern were found (3, 6, or 7 loci of 45S rDNA; three loci of 5S rDNA). Some of these deviations concerned intraspecific variation, and most of them occurred at the tips of the tree or independently in different lineages. This indicates that the organization of rDNA loci is more dynamic than the evolution of sequences contained in them and that locus number is therefore largely unsuitable to inform about species relationships in Hieracium. No consistent differences in the degree of sequence homogenization and the number of 45S rDNA loci were found, suggesting interlocus concerted evolution.

45S and 5S ribosomal DNA were originally localized on chromosomes of five species of winter aconits,namely, Eranthis cilicica, E. hyemalis (section Eranthis), E. pinnatifida, E. stellata и E. tanhoensis (section Shibateranthis).Fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed with oligonucleotide DNA probes Oligo-pTa71-2 and Oligo-5S rDNAof wheat that are complementary to 45S and 5S ribosomal DNA. In addition, oligonucleotide DNA probe (Oligo-5.8SrDNA-Ran, 50 b) for localization of 45S rDNA was designed and tested. This probe is based on the 5.8S rDNA sequencesof some species of fam. Ranunculaceae taken from GenBank. A specific hybridization of the Oligo-5S rDNA and Oligo5.8S rDNA-Ran probes with the chromosomes of Eranthis was shown. The use of the Oligo-pTa71-2 probe did not localizeclusters of 45S rDNA on chromosomes of studied species.

The systematic knowledge on the genus Hedysarum L. (Fabaceae: Hedysareae) is still incomplete. The species from the section Hedysarum are valuable forage and medicinal resources. For eight Hedysarum species, we constructed the integrated schematic map of their distribution within Eurasia based on currently available scattered data. For the first time, we performed cytogenomic characterization of twenty accessions covering eight species for evaluating genomic diversity and relationships within the section Hedysarum. Based on the intra- and interspecific variability of chromosomes bearing 45S and 5S rDNA clusters, four main karyotype groups were detected in the studied accessions: (1) H.arcticum, H. austrosibiricum, H. flavescens, H. hedysaroides, and H. theinum (one chromosome pair with 45S rDNA and one pair bearing 5S rDNA); (2) H. alpinum and one accession of H. hedysaroides (one chromosome pair with 45S rDNA and two pairs bearing 5S rDNA); (3) H. caucasicum (one chromosome pair with 45S rDNA and one chromosome pair bearing 5S rDNA and 45S rDNA); (4) H. neglectum (two pairs with 45S rDNA and one pair bearing 5S rDNA). The species-specific chromosomal markers detected in karyotypes of H. alpinum, H. caucasicum, and H. neglectum can be useful in taxonomic studies of this section.

Sedelnikovaea baicalensis, the Siberian-Central Asian lichen species, is recorded for the first time for Europe. Based on all the known localities, including those first-time reported from Baikal Siberia, the peculiarities of the ecology and distribution of this species are discussed, the map of its distribution is provided. It is concluded that the species was erroneously considered earlier as a Central Asian endemic. The center of the present range of this lichen is the steppes of Southern Siberia and Mongolia. Assumptions are made that S. baicalensis is relatively young (Paleogene-Neogene) species otherwise it would have a vast range extending beyond Asia, and also that the Yakut locations of this species indicate that in the Pleistocene its range was wider and covered a significant part of the Northeastern Siberia but later underwent regression. Based on the fact that in the mountains of Central Asia the species is found only in the upper mountain belts, it is proposed to characterize it as «cryo-arid xerophyte» in contrast to «arid xerophytes». A conclusion is made that the presence of extensive disjunctions of S. baicalensis range between the Southern Pre-Urals and the Altai-Sayan Mountains or the Mountains of Central Asia is unlikely; the lichen is most likely to occur in the Urals and most of Kazakhstan.
