玉米中抗病基因myb1和NDR1同源序列的荧光原位杂交物理定位

以烟草和拟南芥中的单拷贝抗病基因ｍｙｂ１和ＮＤＲ１作探针，利用荧光原位杂交的方法分别对这两个基因在玉米（Ｚｅａ ｍａｙｓ Ｌ．）和烟草（Ｎｉｃｏｔｉａｎａ ｔａｂａｃｕｍ Ｌ．）、玉米和拟南芥（Ａｒａｂｉｄｏｐｓｉｓ ｔｈａｌｉａｎａ（Ｌ．）Ｈｅｙｎｈ．）中的同源性做了研究。杂交结果表明ｍｙｂ１和ＮＤＲ１的同源序列分别位于玉米第８、５染色体，单个信号位置表明０这两个基因的同源序列在玉米基因组中只有

Physical Mapping of the Sequences Homologous to Disease Resistance Genes myb1 and NDR1 in Maize

Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, the authors investigated the homology between three plant species, maize (Zea mays L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), maize and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. at cytogenetic level using two probes corresponding to functional disease resistance genes myb1 and NDR1 in Arabidopsis and tobacco respectively. The hybridization signals of the tested probes were detected in maize chromosomes 8 and 5 respectively, and the single location of each of the two probes showed only single copy of them in maize genome. The results provided a valuable insight into searching for genes associated with programmed cell death in plants using heterologous probe with comparative genetic approach. In addition, the improvements of FISH technique using heterologous probes were discussed.
