We have identified a repetitive DNA element in Nectria haematococca mating population VI, isolate T-2. This repetitive sequence has been called Nrs1. DNA hybridization analysis indicates the sequence is found in several isolates of the fungus pathogenic to Pisum sativum. A 2,027-bp clone containing the Nrs1-2 allele contains a long polyA sequence, imperfect RNA polymerase III promoter sequences, multiple inverted repeats, and the potential for extensive secondary structure similar to known RNA polymerase III transcripts and related retroelements. Ten of the 11 HindIII restriction fragments from isolate T-2 DNA that hybridize to Nrs1-2 segregate in a manner consistent with a 1:1 ratio for random ascospore progeny. The 10 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci define three linkage groups and correspond to three chromosome-sized DNAs from T-2 separated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Three RFLP loci defined by hybridization to the gene for pisatin demethylase and localized on the 1.6 million base pair (Mb) chromosome were genetically linked to each other and to several Nrs1 loci. These sequences recombined despite the fact that no obvious homolog exists for the 1.6-Mb chromosome in one parent strain. Allelic RFLPs corresponding to the gene sequence of cutinase were unlinked to Nrs1 loci.
