A HindII repetitive fragment (pOD3) was isolated and cloned from the genomic DNA of an accession of Oryza latifolia, a wild rice species that possesses a tetraploid CCDD genome. Southern blot analysis using this clone as a probe demonstrated that this repetitive DNA sequence had a dispersed organization in the CCDD genome and seemed to be highly specific for this genome type. This fragment is the first CCDD-specific repeated DNA sequence to be described. The hybridization pattern is similar for most CCDD accessions tested, although a few showed no hybridization signal. The nucleotide sequence of the element cloned in pOD3 was determined and analysed. The 1783 base pair long repeated sequence shows no homology with other known nucleotide sequences. In addition, none of the amino acid sequences deduced from the potential open reading frames contained in the pOD3 repeat is homologous to any known protein. The nucleotide sequence presents several internal repeats, direct or inverted, but their significance remains unknown.Key words: rice, dispersed repetitive DNA sequences, genome-specific sequences.

In this paper we describe a repetitive DNA sequence unique to the rye genome. The corresponding DNA probe (pAW173) was cloned as a 450-bp fragment and does not hybridize to wheat or barley DNA and is not related to five other repeated DNA families characterised in rye. This new family (designated the R173 family) consists of moderately repeated DNA (~ 15 000 units per genome) and is present on all seven rye chromosomes. The hybridization patterns in Southern blots indicate that it is not organised as blocks of tandem arrays and in situ hybridization shows that it is dispersed throughout the rye chromosomes. The probe has been successfully used as a molecular marker in identifying rye genetic material in a wheat background.Key words: repetitive DNA sequence, rye-specific DNA, molecular marker.

Abstract An AluI family of highly reiterated nontranscribed sequences has been found in the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera. This repeated sequence is shown to be present at approximately 23,000 copies per haploid genome constituting about 2% of the total genomic DNA. The nucleotide sequence of 10 monomers was determined. The consensus sequences is 176 nucleotides long and has an A + T content of 58%. There are clusters of both direct and inverted repeats. Internal subrepeating units ranging from 11 to 17 nucleotides are observed, suggesting that it could have evolved from a shorter sequence. DNA sequence data reveal that this repeat class is unusually homogeneous compared to the other class of invertebrate highly reiterated DNA sequences. The average pairwise sequence divergence between the repeats is 2.5%. In spite of this unusual homogeneity, divergence has been found in the repeated sequence hybridization ladder between four different honeybee subspecies. Therefore, the AluI highly reiterated sequences provide a new probe for fingerprinting in A. m. mellifera.

ABSTRACT Rhizobium sp. strain AC100, which is capable of degrading carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methylcarbamate), was isolated from soil treated with carbaryl. This bacterium hydrolyzed carbaryl to 1-naphthol and methylamine. Carbaryl hydrolase from the strain was purified to homogeneity, and its N-terminal sequence, molecular mass (82 kDa), and enzymatic properties were determined. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed 1-naphthyl acetate and 4-nitrophenyl acetate indicating that the enzyme is an esterase. We then cloned the carbaryl hydrolase gene (cehA) from the plasmid DNA of the strain and determined the nucleotide sequence of the 10-kb region containing cehA. No homologous sequences were found by a database homology search using the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the cehA gene. Six open reading frames including the cehA gene were found in the 10-kb region, and sequencing analysis shows that the cehA gene is flanked by two copies of insertion sequence-like sequence, suggesting that it makes part of a composite transposon.

The value of genome-specific repetitive DNA sequences for use as molecular markers in studying genome differentiation was investigated. Five repetitive DNA sequences from wild species of rice were cloned. Four of the clones, pOm1, pOm4, pOmA536, and pOmPB10, were isolated from Oryza minuta accession 101141 (BBCC genomes), and one clone, pOa237, was isolated from Oryza australiensis accession 100882 (EE genome). Southern blot hybridization to different rice genomes showed strong hybridization of all five clones to O. minuta genomic DNA and no cross hybridization to genomic DNA from Oryza sativa (AA genome). The pOm1 and pOmA536 sequences showed cross hybridization only to all of the wild rice species containing the C genome. However, the pOm4, pOmPB10, and pOa237 sequences showed cross hybridization to O. australiensis genomic DNA in addition to showing hybridization to the O. minuta genomic DNA.Key words: rice, genome-specific repetitive sequences, Oryza.
