Genome differentiation in 12 diploid Aegilops species was analyzed using in situ hybridization with the highly repetitive DNA sequences pSc119 and pAs1 and C-banding. Chromosomes of all these diploid Aegilops species hybridized with the pSc119 probe; however, the level of hybridization and labeling patterns differed among genomes. Only four species (Ae. squarrosa, Ae. comosa, Ae. heldreichii, and Ae. uniaristata) showed distinct hybridization with pAs1. The labeling patterns were species-specific and chromosome-specific. Differences in in situ hybridization (ISH) patterns, also observed by C-banding, exist between the karyotypes of Ae. comosa and Ae. heldreichii, suggesting that they are separate, although closely related, subspecies. The S genome of Ae. spelioides was most similar to the B and G genomes of polyploid wheats on the basis of both C-banding and ISH patterns, but was different from other species of section Sitopsis. These species had different C-banding patterns but they were similar to each other and to Ae. mutica in the distribution of pSc119 hybridization sites. Two types of labeling were detected in Ae. squarrosa with the pAs1 probe. The first resembled that of the D-genome chromosomes of bread wheat, Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell., while the second was similar to the D genome of some of the polyploid Aegilops species. Relationships among diploid Aegilops species and the possible mechanisms of genome differentiation are discussed. Key words : wheat, Triticum, Aegilops, in situ hybridization, C-banding, evolution.

The Individual

The molecular characterization of heterochromatin in six lines of rye has been performed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The highly repetitive rye DNA sequences pSc 119.2, pSc74, and pSc34, and the probes pTa71 and pSc794 containing the 25S–5.8S–18S rDNA (NOR) and the 5S rDNA multigene families, respectively, were used. This allowed the individual identification of all seven rye chromosomes and most chromosome arms in all lines. All varieties showed similar but not identical patterns. A standard in situ hybridization map was constructed following the nomenclature system recommended for C-bands. All FISH sites observed appeared to correspond well with C-band locations, but not all C-banding sites coincided with hybridization sites of the repetitive DNA probes used. Quantitative and qualitative differences between different varieties were found for in situ hybridization response at corresponding sites. Variation between plants and even between homologous chromosomes of the same plant was found in open-pollinated lines. In inbred lines, the in situ pattern of the homologues was practically identical and no variation between plants was detected. The observed quantitative and qualitative differences are consistent with a corresponding variation for C-bands detected both within and between cultivars.Key words: fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA, rye, Secale cereale, polymorphism.

AbstractThe tetraploid Avena species in the section Pachycarpa Baum, including A. insularis, A. maroccana, and A. murphyi, are thought to be involved in the evolution of hexaploid oats; however, their genome designations are still being debated. Repetitive DNA sequences play an important role in genome structuring and evolution, so understanding the chromosomal organization and distribution of these sequences in Avena species could provide valuable information concerning genome evolution in this genus. In this study, the chromosomal organizations and distributions of six repetitive DNA sequences (including three SSR motifs (TTC, AAC, CAG), one 5S rRNA gene fragment, and two oat A and C genome specific repeats) were investigated using non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) in the three tetraploid species mentioned above and in two hexaploid oat species. Preferential distribution of the SSRs in centromeric regions was seen in the A and D genomes, whereas few signals were detected in the C genomes. Some intergenomic translocations were observed in the tetraploids; such translocations were also detected between the C and D genomes in the hexaploids. These results provide robust evidence for the presence of the D genome in all three tetraploids, strongly suggesting that the genomic constitution of these species is DC and not AC, as had been thought previously.

The aim of this work was to cytogenetically characterize triticale cultivars through fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of their rye chromosomes. In the present work, we studied six cultivars of triticale (‘Cayú-UNRC’, ‘Cumé-UNRC’, ‘Genú-UNRC’, ‘Ñinca-UNRC’, ‘Quiñé-UNRC’, and ‘Tizné-UNRC’), released by the Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto (UNRC), Córdoba, Argentina. The cultivars were obtained from the International Center for the Improvement of Maize and Wheat (CIMMYT) and improved for fresh forage, haymaking, and feed grain at UNRC. The distribution and organization of highly repetitive DNA sequences of Secale cereale (pSc74, pSc200, pSc250, and pSc119.2) using FISH analyses revealed a specific localization of the signals for several rye chromosomes, which allowed us to distinguish the cultivars. Cluster analysis showed a great cytogenetic similarity among the rye cultivars used to originate these hybrids. The knowledge of the variability among triticale cultivars is necessary to propose future crosses in breeding programs. This study will also be valuable to identify commercial seeds and to analyze the possible association between agronomic characters and the presence of certain rye chromosomes or specific regions in these chromosomes.

The presence and distribution of the most important highly repetitive DNA sequences of rye in cultivated and wild species of the genus Secale were investigated using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Accurate identification of individual chromosomes in the most commonly recognized species or subspecies of the genus Secale (S. cereale, S. ancestrale, S. segetale, S. afghanicum, S. dighoricum, S. montanum, S. montanum ssp. kuprijanovii, S. africanum, S. anatolicum, S. vavilovii, and S. silvestre) was achieved using three highly repetitive rye DNA sequences (probes pSc119.2, pSc74, and pSc34) and the 5S ribosomal DNA sequence pTa794. It is difficult to superimpose trends in the complexity of repetitive DNA during the evolution of the genus on conclusions from other cytogenetic and morphological assays. However, there are two clear groups. The first comprises the self-pollinated annuals S. silvestre and S. vavilovii that have few repeated nucleotide sequences of the main families of 120 and 480 bp. The second group presents amplification and interstitialization of the repeated nucleotide sequences and includes the perennials S. montanum, S. anatolicum, S. africanum, and S. kuprijanovii, as well as the annual and open-pollinated species S. cereale and its related weedy forms. The appearance of a new locus for 5S rRNA in S. cereale and S. ancestrale suggests that cultivated ryes evolved from this wild weedy species.Key words: rye, repeated nucleotide sequence, 5S rDNA, fluorescence in situ hybridization, FISH.
