FISH-mapping of rDNAs and Arabidopsis BACs on pachytene complements of selected Brassicas

Piotr A Ziolkowski et al. Genome. 2002 Feb.

Abstract

To improve resolution of physical mapping on Brassica chromosomes, we have chosen the pachytene stage of meiosis where incompletely condensed bivalents are much longer than their counterparts at mitotic metaphase. Mapping with 5S and 45S rDNA sequences demonstrated the advantage of pachytene chromosomes in efficient physical mapping and confirmed the presence of a novel 5S rDNA locus in Brassica oleracea, initially identified by genetic mapping using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis visualized the presence of the third 5S rDNA locus on the long arm of chromosome C2 and confirmed the earlier reports of two 45S rDNA loci in the B. oleracea genome. FISH mapping of low-copy sequences from the Arabidopsis thaliana bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones on the B. oleracea chromosomes confirmed the expectation of efficient and precise physical mapping of meiotic bivalents based on data available from A. thaliana and indicated conserved organization of these two BAC sequences on two B. oleracea chromosomes. Based on the heterologous in situ hybridization with BACs and their mapping applied to long pachytene bivalents, a new approach in comparative analysis of Brassica and A. thaliana genomes is discussed.
