Chromosome micro-dissection and region-specific libraries from pachytene chromosomes of maize (Zea mays L.)
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the first time, pachytene chromosomes have been used for micro-dissection, amplification and cloning using the short arm of maize chromosome 6. For this purpose, methods for the preparation of unstained pachytene chromosomes were developed. In two separate experiments, 10 and 12 segments of the satellite region were isolated utilizing glass needles and DNA was amplified by linkeradaptor-PCR. After amplification, maize-specific DNA was verified by genomic Southern hybridizations. Chromosomal in situ suppression hybridization confirmed that the adaptor PCR products originated from the micro-dissected 6S region. The adaptor PCR products were cloned into a plasmid vector and the chromosome region-specific libraries were characterized.

Chromosome painting using repetitive DNA sequences as probes for somatic chromosome identification in maize.
Study of the maize (Zea mays L.) somatic chromosomes (2n = 20) has been difficult because of a lack of distinguishing characteristics. To identify all maize chromosomes, a multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization procedure was developed. The procedure uses tandemly repeated DNA sequences to generate a distinctive banding pattern for each of the 10 chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridiz...
متن کاملProduction and characterization of maize chromosome 9 radiation hybrids derived from an oat-maize addition line.
In maize (Zea mays L., 2n = 2x = 20), map-based cloning and genome organization studies are often complicated because of the complexity of the genome. Maize chromosome addition lines of hexaploid cultivated oat (Avena sativa L., 2n = 6x = 42), where maize chromosomes can be individually manipulated, represent unique materials for maize genome analysis. Maize chromosome addition lines are partic...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of maize B chromosome sequences derived from microdissection.
Isolation of sequences from the maize B chromosome is always hampered by its high homology with the normal complements. In this study, this handicap was overcome by cloning the sequences from the pachytene B chromosomes dissected out of a slide by a micromanipulator followed by degenerate oligonucleotide-primed PCR. The isolated sequences were found to hybridize with genomic DNA in a B-dosage-d...
متن کاملA transgenomic cytogenetic sorghum (Sorghum propinquum) bacterial artificial chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization map of maize (Zea mays L.) pachytene chromosome 9, evidence for regions of genome hyperexpansion.
A cytogenetic FISH map of maize pachytene-stage chromosome 9 was produced with 32 maize marker-selected sorghum BACs as probes. The genetically mapped markers used are distributed along the linkage maps at an average spacing of 5 cM. Each locus was mapped by means of multicolor direct FISH with a fluorescently labeled probe mix containing a whole-chromosome paint, a single sorghum BAC clone, an...

High-resolution cytogenetic maps provide important biological information on genome organization and function, as they correlate genetic distance with cytological structures, and are an invaluable complement to physical sequence data. The most direct way to generate a cytogenetic map is to localize genetically mapped genes onto chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Detection...
