Abstract
Sequence analysis of 5.8S rDNA in 67 accessions of the subgenus Allium and six other subgenera belonging to the third evolutionary group of Allium genus (Friesen et al., 2006) was performed. Nucleotide substitutions in 5.8S rDNA sequences of Allium accessions were identified and studied for the first time. The probable secondary structure of 5.8S rRNA was constructed. It was shown that mutations in 5.8S rDNA do not involve conserved motifs, and they did not significantly affect the secondary structure of the RNA molecule in Allium accessions.
