This is the first report of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on plant polytene chromosomes. Different protease pretreatments have been tested to improve fluorescence in situ hybridization FISH on polytene chromosomes of a plant, Phaseolus coccineus, with the aim to enable the detection of low-copy genes. The structural preservation of the chromosomes and the distinctness of the FISH signals were comparatively analysed with a probe for the ribosomal RNA genes after digestion with pepsin and trypsin. The pepsin pretreatment resulted in a general loosening of chromatin with good conservation of chromosome morphology and an increased number and density of signal points. The six nucleolus organizers exhibited significant differences in condensation. The pretreatment with pepsin enabled the detection of the low-copy genes encoding the seed storage protein phaseolin.Key words: plant, Leguminosae, ribosomal RNA genes, seed storage protein genes, protease.

A biotinylated maize rRNA probe was hybridized to soybean nuclei. Hybridization was detected by using a streptavidin horseradish peroxidase biotin system. The procedure used enabled detection of heterologous complementary 18S and 25S rRNA coding genes in soybean. In diploid cultivars 'Hark' and 'Lincoln' a single pair of satellited chromosomes was present and two binding sites were detected at interphase. In plants trisomic for the satellited chromosome, three sites were observed, and in tetraploid nuclei, four sites were seen. The in situ hybridization results indicated that, for ribosomal RNA genes, Glycine max behaves as a diploid. We discuss the possibility of loss of a pair of satellited chromosomes in the evolution of soybean.Key words: biotin-labeled probe, rRNA genes, ploidy, Glycine max.
