Genomic in situ hybridization in Avena sativa
1994
Chen, Q. | Armstrong, K.
Genomic fluorescent in situ hybridization was employed in the study of the genome organization and evolution of hexaploid oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Sun II, AACCDD, 2n = 6x = 42). Genomic DNAs from two diploid oat species, Avena strigosa (genomic constitution AsAs, 2n = 14) and Avena pilosa (genomic constitution CpCp, 2n = 14), were used as probes in the study. The DNA from A. strigosa labelled 28 of the 42 (2/3) chromosomes of the hexaploid oat, while 14 of the 42 (1/3) chromosomes were labelled with A. pilosa DNA, indicating a close relationship between the A and D genomes. Results also suggested that at least 18 chromosomes (9 pairs) were involved in intergenomic interchanges between the A and C genomes
