| Abstract: | An analysis of the presence and distribution of the rye and wheat repeated sequences in rye B chromosomes was carried out by fluorescent in situ hybridization. Probes used consisted of three highly repetitive sequences from rye (pSc119.2, pSc74, and pSc34) and the multigene families for the 25S-5.8S-18S and 5S rDNA from wheat (pTa71 and pTa794, respectively). pSc74 and pSc119.2 showed hybridization signals in the telomeric regions of rye B chromosomes. The remaining DNA clones did not hybridize to the B chromosomes. |
