Abstract
A repetitive sequence of 491 bp, named pMD232-500, was isolated from S. cereale cv. Kustro using wheat SSR marker Xgwm232. GenBank BLAST search revealed that the sequence of pMD232-500 was highly similar to a part of retrotransposon Nusif-1. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using pMD232-500 as probe indicated that only 14 Thinopyrum intermedium chromosomes and all the chromosomes of S. cereale cv. Kustro bear FISH signals, however, no FISH signals were observed on Dasypyrum villosum chromosomes. In addition, the FISH signals were distributed on whole arms except their terminal regions. Further genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) analysis using genomic DNA from Pseudoroegneria spicata indicated that the 14 Th. intermedium chromosomes bearing FISH signals should belong to J genome. Thereafter, the repetitive elements pMD232-500 showed the unambiguous features of genomic constitution of Th. intermedium. In addition, the results in the present study have indicated the similarity of genomes from Th. intermedium and S. cereale.
