PG - 487-94 AB - The chromosomal distribution, copy numbers, and nucleotide sequences were determined for four repetitive DNA clones, pSB1 and pSB7 of Solanum brevidens and pST3 and pST10 of Solanum tuberosum. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), pSB1 and pSB7 were localized near the telomeres and in some centromeric and interstitial sites of S. brevidens chromosomes, but not in S. tuberosum chromosomes, after high stringency washes. The clone pST3 showed signals in the telomeric areas of a few chromosomes in S. tuberosum, but signals were not detected in S. brevidens. All three repeated sequences (pSB1, pSB7, and pST3) were detected in chromosomal areas that are typically known to contain tandemly repeated sequences. The S. tuberosum clone pST10 did not show signals in either species even at low stringency conditions. The estimated copy numbers of the four clones were 1500, 6750, 300, and 400 for pSB1, pSB7, pST3, and pST10, respectively, in the corresponding haploid genomes (S. brevidens and S. tuberosum). The inserts of the four clones pSB1, pSB7, pST3, and pST10 were 322, 167, 845 and 121 bp, respectively. After sequencing, no significant sequence homologies were found among the four clones. A homology search in sequence data bases showed that pSB7 has variable homology (78-100%) with another repetitive sequence of S. brevidens Sb4/2 depending on its subrepeat. It also showed some homology with one repeat of tomato (pLEG15) and one repeat of Solanum circaeifolium (pSC15).
