18S-5.6S-25S and 5S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sites were located by in situ hybridization to the three main species of Saccharum genus. For each rDNA family, position number various cytotypes suggested presence one locus basic chromosome numbers 10 for officinarum robustum and\i 8 forSaccharum spontaneum. The implications these results genetic maps modern cultivars derived from crosses between S. spontaneum are discussed.Key words: sugarcane, Saccharum, rRNA, number, hybridization.
We identified DNA markers linked to sex determining genes in six closely related species of tilapiine fishes. The mode determination differed among species. In <i>Oreochromis karongae</i> and <i>Tilapia mariae</i> the sex-determining locus is on linkage group (LG) 3 female heterogametic (WZ-ZZ system). <i>O. niloticus</i> <i>T. zillii</i> LG1 male (XX-XY A more complex pattern was observed aureus</i> mossambicus</i>, which both LG3...
Whole genome duplications (WGDs) occurred in the distant evolutionary history of many lineages and are particularly frequent flowering plant lineages. Following paleopolyploidization plants, most duplicated genes deleted by intrachromosomal recombination, a process referred to as fractionation. In examples studied so far, disproportionately lost from one parental subgenomes (biased fractionation) subgenome having lowest number is more expressed (genome dominance). present study, we analyzed...
Rice is an important staple food and, with the smallest cereal genome, serves as a reference species for studies on evolution of cereals and other grasses. Therefore, decoding its entire genome will be prerequisite applied basic research this all cereals.We have determined analyzed complete sequences two chromosomes, 11 12, which total 55.9 Mb (14.3% length), based set overlapping clones. A 5,993 non-transposable element related genes are present these chromosomes. Among them 289 disease...
Musa species (Zingiberaceae, Zingiberales) including bananas and plantains are collectively the fourth most important crop in developing countries. Knowledge concerning genome structure origin of distinct cultivars has greatly increased over last few years. Until now, however, no large-scale analyses genomic sequence have been conducted. This study compares two with orthologous regions rice genome. We produced 1.4 Mb from 13 BAC clones, annotated analyzed them along 4 previously sequenced...
SUMMARY Hybridizations between Musa species and subspecies, enabled by their transport via human migration, were proposed to have played an important role in banana domestication. We exploited sequencing data of 226 Musaceae accessions, including wild cultivated characterize the inter(sub)specific hybridization pattern that gave rise bananas. identified 11 genetic pools contributed cultivars, two contributors unknown origin. Informative alleles for each these pinpointed used obtain genome...
Erianthus arundinaceus has great potential as a germplasm source for better ratoonability, vigour, tolerance to environmental stresses, and disease resistance in sugarcane. Many unsuccessful attempts have been made introduce these characters into modern sugarcane cultivars. We report on significant progress since molecular tools were implemented. Sequence-tagged PCR, revealing size variation the 5S rDNA cluster, was performed intact leaf tissue identify genuine hybrids six weeks after...
Modern sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp.) are high polyploids, aneuploids (2n = ~12x ~120) derived from interspecific hybridizations between the domesticated sweet species Saccharum officinarum and wild S. spontaneum.To analyse architecture origin of such a complex genome, we analysed sequences all 12 hom(oe)ologous haplotypes (BAC clones) two distinct genomic regions typical modern cultivar, as well corresponding sequence in Miscanthus sinense Sorghum bicolor, monitored their distribution...
