Abstract

The aims of the study were the optimisation of genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and the use of a GAA satellite sequences as a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe to discriminate Aegilops biuncialis and wheat chromosomes. The application of genomic DNA from the diploid progenitors, Ae. umbellulata and Ae. comosa , as a probe with a blocking ratio of 1:200 resulted in the clear visualization of Ae. biuncialis chromosomes. Based on the strong hybridization signals of the PCR-amplified GAA satellite sequences it was possible to identify chromosomes 1U, 2U, 4U and 5U of Ae. umbellulata . The improved GISH and GAA idiogram presented here allow the Ae. biuncialis chromatin to be traced in more detail during chromosome-mediated gene transfer to wheat.
