Abstract
We have used the polymerase chain reaction to analyze variation in the size of 5S ribosomal gene spacer sequence. Eighty accessions, including 65 cultivated rice and 15 wild rice, were analyzed. Among them seven size classes of 5S DNA spacer were observed. Classification asindica orjaponica on the basis of 5S DNA spacer patterns generally agrees with classification based on morphological studies, indicating that the length polymorphism of 5S DNA spacer could be used as a molecular marker for taxonomic and phylogenetic analysis.
