The genomic organization of two satellite DNA sequences, pHvMWG2314 and pHvMWG2315, of barley (Hordeum vulgare, 2n=14, HH) was studied by comparative in situ hybridization (ISH) and PCR analysis. Both sequences are members of different RsaI families. The sequence pHvMWG2314 is a new satellite element with a monomer unit of 73 bp which is moderately amplified in different grasses and occurs in interstitial clusters on D-genome chromosomes of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum, 2n=42, AABBDD). The 331-bp monomer pHvMWG2315 belongs to a tandemly amplified repetitive sequence family that is present in the Poaceae and preferentially amplified in Aegilops squarrosa (2n= 14, DD). H. vulgare and Agropyron elongatum. (2n= 14, EE). The first described representative of this family was pAs1 from Ae. squarrosa. Different sequences of one satellite DNA family were amplified from Ae. squarrosa, A. elongatum and H. vulgare using PCR. Characteristic differences between members of the D and H genome occurred in a variable region which is flanked by two conserved segments. The heterogeneity within this element was exploited for the cytogenetic analysis of Triticeae genomes and chromosomes. Comparative ISH with pHvMWG2315 identified individual wheat and barley chromosomes under low (75%) and high (85%) hybridization stringency in homologous and heterologous systems. We propose the designation Tas330 for the Triticeae amplified sequence (Tas) satellite family with a 330 bp average monomer length.
