Most simple reciprocal translocation homozygotes and heterozygotes are euploid, and normal in genotype. However, translocation heterozygotes form six types of numerically balanced meiotic products. The cross of a translocation heterozygote with a normal individual can yield normal progeny, translocation heterozygotes, or any of four segmentally aneuploid duplication-deficient types (dp-dfs). Using metaphase I configuration analysis, most dp-dfs can be distinguished easily from normal and heterozygous translocations. However, identification of the four dp-df types is often impossible unless there is an appreciable karyotypic difference in arm size, relative breakpoint position, or a diagnostic cytological marker. Here we demonstrated the utility and facility of dp-df identification by means of meiotic fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to adorn one chromosome arm with a molecular marker. The rationale is presented diagrammatically, and exemplified by identifying both adjacent-1 and adjacent-2 dp-dfs in Gossypium hirsutum. Polymorphism is not required among marker loci, so analysis of dp-dfs can proceed without requirement of sexual hybridization or sophisticated high-polymorphism marker systems. Besides facilitating the identification of dp-dfs, such an analysis can provide facile means to assign marker loci to chromosomes, arms, and segments. Integrative mapping of chromosomal, physical, and recombination maps will thus be facilitated. An ability to readily distinguish adjacent-1 and adjacent-2 types of dp-dfs should also enhance strategic derivation of other aneuploids, e.g., dp-df related monosomes and trisomes.Key words: Gossypium, cotton, duplication-deficiency, fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA.

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.

Repetitive DNA was cloned from HindIII-digested genomic DNA of Larix leptolepis. The repetitive DNA was about 170 bp long, had an AT content of 67%, and was organized tandemly in the genome. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization and subsequent DAPI banding, the repetitive DNA was localized in DAPI bands at the proximal region of one arm of chromosomes in L. leptolepis and Larix chinensis. Southern blot hybridization to genomic DNA of seven species and five varieties probed with cloned repetitive DNA showed that the repetitive DNA family was present in a tandem organization in genomes of all Larix taxa examined. In addition to the 170-bp sequence, a 220-bp sequence belonging to the same DNA family was also present in 10 taxa. The 220-bp repeat unit was a partial duplication of the 170-bp repeat unit. The 220-bp repeat unit was more abundant in L. chinensis and Larix potaninii var. macrocarpa than in other taxa. The repetitive DNA composed 2.0–3.4% of the genome in most taxa and 0.3 and 0.5% of the genome in L. chinensis and L. potaninii var. macrocarpa, respectively. The unique distribution of the 220-bp repeat unit in Larix indicates the close relationship of these two species. In the family Pinaceae, the LPD (Larix proximal DAPI band specific repeat sequence family) family sequence is widely distributed, but their amount is very small except in the genus Larix. The abundant LPD family in Larix will occur after its speciation.Key words: AT-rich tandem repetitive DNA, fluorescence in situ hybridization, Larix, proximal DAPI band.

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.
