Abstract

To study the correlation of the sequence positions on the physical DNA finger print contig (FPC) map and cytogenetic maps of pachytene and somatic maize chromosomes, sequences located along the chromosome 9 FPC map approximately every 10 Mb were selected to place on maize chromosomes using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The probes were produced as pooled polymerase chain reaction products based on sequences of genetic markers or repeat-free portions of mapped bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones. Fifteen probes were visualized on chromosome 9. The cytological positions of most sequences correspond on the pachytene, somatic, and FPC maps except some probes at the pericentromeric regions. Because of unequal condensation of mitotic metaphase chromosomes, being lower at pericentromeric regions and higher in the arms, probe positions are displaced to the distal ends of both arms. The axial resolution of FISH on somatic chromosome 9 varied from 3.3 to 8.2 Mb, which is 12–30 times lower than on pachytene chromosomes. The probe collection can be used as chromosomal landmarks or as a “banding paint” for the physical mapping of sequences including transgenes and BAC clones and for studying chromosomal rearrangements.
