Distribution and clustering of two highly repeated sequences in the A and B chromosomes of maize
Abstract
Clones from a family of highly repeated sequences present in a heterochromatin rich maize line have been characterized by sequencing and chromosome location. The repeats differ from each other in length and degree of sequence homology, and show areas rich in purine and pyrimidine. In "situ" hybridization experiments indicate that the repeats are mainly located in the knob heterochromatin of the A chromosomes and the centromeric heterochromatin of the B chromosome. However, in addition to previously published data, some copies are also distributed in euchromatic regions of the A chromosomes and in the distal heterochromatic block of the B chromosome. The results are discussed in relation to the centromeric activity of maize heterochromatin.
