A YAC library was constructed from the Beta vulgaris fragment addition AN5-203b. This monosomic fragment addition harbors an approximate 12-Mbp fragment of Beta patellaris chromosome 1 accomodating the Hs1(pat-1) locus conferring resistance to the beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii). The YAC library consists of 20000 YAC clones having an average size of 140 kb. Screening with organelle-specific probes showed that 12% of the clones contain chloroplast DNA while only 0.2% of the clones hybridizes with a mitochondrial specific probe. On the basis of a sugar beet haploid genome size of 750 Mbp this library represents 3.3 haploid genome equivalents. The addition fragment present in AN5-203b harbors a major satellite DNA cluster that is tightly linked to the Hs1(pat-1) locus. The cluster is located on a single 250-kb EcoRI restriction fragment and consists of an estimated 700-800 copies of a 159-bp core sequence, most of which are arranged in tandem. Using this core sequence as a probe, it was possible to isolate 1 YAC clone from the library that contains the entire 250-kb satellite DNA cluster.
