Abstract:
C0t-1 DNA and genomic DNA(gDNA) of cultivated rice
Oryza sativa were used as probes to analyze comparatively the
Oryza latifolia genome by fluorescence
in situ hybridization(FISH).Results showed that the hybridization signals of gDNA were more distinct on the chromosomes of O.
latifolia than that of
C0t-1 DNA.These hybridization signals were mostly distributed on centromeres and telomeres regions as well as those near centromeres under different stringencies.With increasing washing stringency,hybridization signals showed rela-tively higher species’ specificity.Karyotype analysis of O.
latifolia was carried out according to fluorescence
in situ hybridization results in different washing stringencies.This study can help improve correct identification of
Oryza chromosomes.
