AB  - The 5S and 45S rDNA sites are useful chromosome landmarks and can provide 
      valuable information about karyotype evolution and species interrelationships. In 
      this study, we employed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to determine 
      the number and chromosomal location of 5S and 45S rDNA loci in 8 diploid Cucumis 
      species. Two oligonucleotide painting probes specific for the rDNA-bearing 
      chromosomes in C. melo were hybridized to other Cucumis species in order to 
      investigate the homeologies among the rDNA-carrying chromosomes in Cucumis 
      species. The analyzed diploid species showed 3 types of rDNA distribution 
      patterns, which provided clear cytogenetic evidence on the divergence between C. 
      melo and wild diploid African Cucumis species. The present results not only show 
      species interrelationships in the genus Cucumis, but the rDNA FISH patterns can 
      also be used as cytological markers for the discrimination of closely related 
      species. The data will be helpful for breeders to choose the most suitable 
      species from various wild species for improvement of cultivated melon.
