AbstractWhatman FTA ®Cards are a fast and efficient method for capturing and storing nucleic acids but are cost-prohibitive for some researchers. We developed a method that substitutes readily-available cellulose-based paper and homemade washing buffer for commercial FTA ®Cards and FTA ®Purification Reagent. This method is suitable for long-term storage of DNA from many plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana, prior to purification and PCR.Method SummaryHere we report a low-cost method for long-term storage of plant genomic DNA on a readily available cellulose matrix.

Using contiguous genomic DNA sequences of Arabidopsis thaliana, we were able to identify a region of conserved structure in the genome of rice. The conserved, and presumptive homoeologous segments, are 194 kb and 219-300 kb in size in Arabidopsis and rice, respectively. They contain five homologous genes, distinguished in order by a single inversion. These represent the first homoeologous segments identified in the genomes of a dicot and a monocot, demonstrating that fine-scale conservation of genome structure exists and is detectable across this major divide in the angiosperms. The conserved framework of genes identified is interspersed with non-conserved genes, indicating that mechanisms beyond segmental inversions and translocations need to be invoked to fully explain plant genome evolution, and that the benefits of comparative genomics over such large taxonomic distances may be limited.Key words: plant genomics, comparative mapping.
