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 Ac. 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.
