Number and Sites of rDNA Loci of Guizotia Abyssinica (L. f.) Cass. as Determined by Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization

Abstract: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was employed on somatic chromosome preparations of Guizotia abyssinica using a DNA probe of the 18S-5.8S-26S rRNA genes including the transcribed and non-transcribed spacer sequences. A maximum of six major and two minor signal sites of rDNA was observed. However, the minor signals were not persistently detected. The positions of the FISH signals coincided with the sites of the nucleolar organizer regions and their adjacent C-banded heterochromatin when present.

“…2). A similar regularity has been previously found in other small chromosome plant species (Xu and Earle 1996;Dagne et al 2000). Concordant changes in C-band size and the number of rRNA genes localized to this region allowed the authors to suggest that a part of the constitutive heterochromatin was associated with NORs, the ribosomal gene clusters dispersed within heterochromatic regions (Mukai et al 1991;Zoldos et al 1999).…”

“…An in‐depth treatment of its taxonomy and distribution was done by Baagoe (1974). Cytological studies were done by several workers (Hiremath and Murthy 1986; Dagne and Heneen 1992; Hiremath and Murthy 1992; Dagne et al 2000; Dagne 2001). However, to date there is no report of using ISSR markers to study the genetic diversity of niger.…”
