TI  - Terminal heterochromatin and alternative telomeric sequences in Allium cepa.
PG  - 315-21
AB  - The chromosome termini of the onion (Allium cepa) apparently lack 
      Arabidopsis-type telomeric repeats. The terminal Giemsa bands of A. cepa 
      chromosomes contain a 375-bp satellite and (short arm of chromosome 8)/ or (short 
      arm of chromosome 6) rDNA repeats. By means of fluorescence in situ hybridization 
      (FISH) on metaphase chromosomes and on DNA fibres with probes specific for 
      Ty1-copia retroelements and a En/Spm-transposable element-like sequence, 
      respectively, it was demonstrated that the former are rarely and the latter 
      frequently associated with satellite repeats within the terminal heterochromatin. 
      Polymerase chain reaction of polyC-tailed nuclear DNA with anchor primers and 
      single satellite-specific primers yielded amplification products that, after 
      cloning and sequencing, revealed satellite sequences. This supports the idea that 
      satellite repeats represent one class of terminal sequences in A. cepa.
