Abstract
Discrimination of chromosome is essential for chromosome manipulation or visual chromosome characterization. Oligonucleotide probes can be employed to simplify the procedures of chromosome identification in molecular cytogenetics due to its simplicity, fastness, cost-effectiveness, and high efficiency. So far, however, visual identification of cotton chromosomes remains unsolved. Here, we developed 16 oligonucleotide probes for rapid and accurate identification of chromosomes in Gossypium hirsutum: 9 probes, of which each is able to distinguish individually one pair of chromosomes, and seven probes, of which each distinguishes multiple pairs of chromosomes. Besides the identification of Chrs. A09 and D09, we first find Chr. D08, which carries both 45S and 5S rDNA sequences. Interestingly, we also find Chr. A07 has a small 45S rDNA size, suggesting that the size of this site on Chr. A07 may have reduced during evolution. By the combination of 45S and 5S rDNA sequences and oligonucleotide probes developed, 10 chromosomes (Chrs. 3-7, and 9-13) in A subgenome and 7 (Chrs. 1-2, 4-5, and 7-9) in D subgenome of cotton are able to be recognized. This study establishes cotton oligonucleotide fluorescence in situ hybridization technology for discrimination of chromosomes, which supports and guides for sequence assembling, particularly, for tandem repeat sequences in cotton.

Abstract
Inversions, a type of chromosomal structural variation, significantly influence plant adaptation and gene functions by impacting gene expression and recombination rates. However, compared with other structural variations, their roles in functional biology and crop improvement remain largely unexplored. In this review, we highlight technological and methodological advancements that have allowed a comprehensive understanding of inversion variants through the pangenome framework and machine learning algorithms. Genome editing is an efficient method for inducing or reversing inversion mutations in plants, providing an effective mechanism to modify local recombination rates. Given the potential of inversions in crop breeding, we anticipate increasing attention on inversions from the scientific community in future research and breeding applications.

Translocations and inversions: major chromosomal rearrangements during Vigna (Leguminosae) evolution. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2024; 137:29. [PMID: 38261028 DOI: 10.1007/s00122-024-04546-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Inversions and translocations are the major chromosomal rearrangements involved in Vigna subgenera evolution, being Vigna vexillata the most divergent species. Centromeric repositioning seems to be frequent within the genus. Oligonucleotide-based fluorescence in situ hybridization (Oligo-FISH) provides a powerful chromosome identification system for inferring plant chromosomal evolution. Aiming to understand macrosynteny, chromosomal diversity, and the evolution of bean species from five Vigna subgenera, we constructed cytogenetic maps for eight taxa using oligo-FISH-based chromosome identification. We used oligopainting probes from chromosomes 2 and 3 of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and two barcode probes designed from V. unguiculata (L.) Walp. genome. Additionally, we analyzed genomic blocks among the Ancestral Phaseoleae Karyotype (APK), two V. unguiculata subspecies (V. subg. Vigna), and V. angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi (V. subg. Ceratotropis). We observed macrosynteny for chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 in all investigated taxa except for V. vexillata (L.) A. Rich (V. subg. Plectrotropis), in which only chromosomes 4, 7, and 9 were unambiguously identified. Collinearity breaks involved with chromosomes 2 and 3 were revealed. We identified minor differences in the painting pattern among the subgenera, in addition to multiple intra- and interblock inversions and intrachromosomal translocations. Other rearrangements included a pericentric inversion in chromosome 4 (V. subg. Vigna), a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 1 and 5 (V. subg. Ceratotropis), a potential deletion in chromosome 11 of V. radiata (L.) Wilczek, as well as multiple intrablock inversions and centromere repositioning via genomic blocks. Our study allowed the visualization of karyotypic patterns in each subgenus, revealing important information for understanding intrageneric karyotypic evolution, and suggesting V. vexillata as the most karyotypically divergent species.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:2816. [PMID: 37570972 PMCID: PMC10420648 DOI: 10.3390/plants12152816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is an indispensable technique for studying chromosomes in plants. However, traditional FISH methods, such as BAC, rDNA, tandem repeats, and distributed repetitive sequence probe-based FISH, have certain limitations, including difficulties in probe synthesis, low sensitivity, cross-hybridization, and limited resolution. In contrast, oligo-based FISH represents a more efficient method for chromosomal studies in plants. Oligo probes are computationally designed and synthesized for any plant species with a sequenced genome and are suitable for single and repetitive DNA sequences, entire chromosomes, or chromosomal segments. Furthermore, oligo probes used in the FISH experiment provide high specificity, resolution, and multiplexing. Moreover, oligo probes made from one species are applicable for studying other genetically and taxonomically related species whose genome has not been sequenced yet, facilitating molecular cytogenetic studies of non-model plants. However, there are some limitations of oligo probes that should be considered, such as requiring prior knowledge of the probe design process and FISH signal issues with shorter probes of background noises during oligo-FISH experiments. This review comprehensively discusses de novo oligo probe synthesis with more focus on single-copy DNA sequences, preparation, improvement, and factors that affect oligo-FISH efficiency. Furthermore, this review highlights recent applications of oligo-FISH in a wide range of plant chromosomal studies.

Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) provides great conveniences for detection and visualization of specific genomic segments. Oligonucleotide (Oligo)-based FISH further broadened the applications in plant cytogenetics researches. High-specific single-copy oligo probes are essential for successful oligo-FISH experiments. Here, we introduce the bioinformatic pipeline to design genome-scaled single-copy oligos and filter repeat-related probes with Chorus2 software. Robust probes are accessible for both well-assembled genome and species without a reference genome based on this pipeline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Karyotype dynamics driven by chromosomal rearrangements has long been considered as a fundamental question in the evolutionary genetics. Saccharum spontaneum, the most primitive and complex species in the genus Saccharum, has reportedly undergone at least two major chromosomal rearrangements, however, its karyotypic evolution remains unclear. RESULTS In this study, four representative accessions, i.e., hypothetical diploid sugarcane ancestor (sorghum, x = 10), Sa. spontaneum Np-X (x = 10, tetraploid), 2012-46 (x = 9, hexaploid) and AP85-441 (x = 8, tetraploid), were selected for karyotype evolution studies. A set of oligonucleotide (oligo)-based barcode probes was developed based on the sorghum genome, which allowed universal identification of all chromosomes from sorghum and Sa. spontaneum. By comparative FISH assays, we reconstructed the karyotype evolutionary history and discovered that although chromosomal rearrangements resulted in greater variation in relative lengths of some chromosomes, all chromosomes maintained a conserved metacentric structure. Additionally, we found that the barcode oligo probe was not applicable for chromosome identification in both Sa. robustum and Sa. officinarum species, suggesting that sorghum is more distantly related to Sa. robustum and Sa. officinarum compared with Sa. spontaneum species. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that the barcode oligo-FISH is an efficient tool for chromosome identification and karyotyping research, and expanded our understanding of the karyotypic and chromosomal evolution in the genus Saccharum.

Abstract
A precise, rapid and straightforward approach to chromosome identification is fundamental for cytogenetics studies. However, the identification of individual chromosomes was not previously possible for Chinese cherry or other Prunus species due to the small size and similar morphology of their chromosomes. To address this issue, we designed a pool of oligonucleotides distributed across specific pseudochromosome regions of Chinese cherry. This oligonucleotide pool was amplified through multiplex PCR with specific internal primers to produce probes that could recognize specific chromosomes. External primers modified with red and green fluorescence tags could produce unique signal barcoding patterns to identify each chromosome concomitantly. The same oligonucleotide pool could also discriminate all chromosomes in other Prunus species. Additionally, the 5S/45S rDNA probes and the oligo pool were applied in two sequential rounds of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) localized to chromosomes and showed different distribution patterns among Prunus species. At the same time, comparative karyotype analysis revealed high conservation among P. pseudocerasus, P. avium, and P. persica. Together, these findings establish this oligonucleotide pool as the most effective tool for chromosome identification and the analysis of genome organization and evolution in the genus Prunus.

Chromosome painting reveals inter-chromosomal rearrangements and evolution of subgenome D of wheat. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2022; 112:55-67.

Abstract
Aegilops species represent the most important gene pool for breeding bread wheat (Triticum aestivum). Thus, understanding the genome evolution, including chromosomal structural rearrangements and syntenic relationships among Aegilops species or between Aegilops and wheat, is important for both basic genome research and practical breeding applications. In the present study, we attempted to develop subgenome D-specific fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes by selecting D-specific oligonucleotides based on the reference genome of Chinese Spring. The oligo-based chromosome painting probes consisted of approximately 26 000 oligos per chromosome and their specificity was confirmed in both diploid and polyploid species containing the D subgenome. Two previously reported translocations involving two D chromosomes have been confirmed in wheat varieties and their derived lines. We demonstrate that the oligo painting probes can be used not only to identify the translocations involving D subgenome chromosomes, but also to determine the precise positions of chromosomal breakpoints. Chromosome painting of 56 accessions of Ae. tauschii from different origins led us to identify two novel translocations: a reciprocal 3D-7D translocation in two accessions and a complex 4D-5D-7D translocation in one accession. Painting probes were also used to analyze chromosomes from more diverse Aegilops species. These probes produced FISH signals in four different genomes. Chromosome rearrangements were identified in Aegilops umbellulata, Aegilops markgrafii, and Aegilops uniaristata, thus providing syntenic information that will be valuable for the application of these wild species in wheat breeding.

Abstract
Vanilla planifolia, the species cultivated to produce one of the world's most popular flavors, is highly prone to partial genome endoreplication, which leads to highly unbalanced DNA content in cells. We report here the first molecular evidence of partial endoreplication at the chromosome scale by the assembly and annotation of an accurate haplotype-phased genome of V. planifolia. Cytogenetic data demonstrated that the diploid genome size is 4.09 Gb, with 16 chromosome pairs, although aneuploid cells are frequently observed. Using PacBio HiFi and optical mapping, we assembled and phased a diploid genome of 3.4 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 1.2 Mb and 59 128 predicted protein-coding genes. The atypical k-mer frequencies and the uneven sequencing depth observed agreed with our expectation of unbalanced genome representation. Sixty-seven percent of the genes were scattered over only 30% of the genome, putatively linking gene-rich regions and the endoreplication phenomenon. By contrast, low-coverage regions (non-endoreplicated) were rich in repeated elements but also contained 33% of the annotated genes. Furthermore, this assembly showed distinct haplotype-specific sequencing depth variation patterns, suggesting complex molecular regulation of endoreplication along the chromosomes. This high-quality, anchored assembly represents 83% of the estimated V. planifolia genome. It provides a significant step toward the elucidation of this complex genome. To support post-genomics efforts, we developed the Vanilla Genome Hub, a user-friendly integrated web portal that enables centralized access to high-throughput genomic and other omics data and interoperable use of bioinformatics tools.

Abstract
The banana is a staple food crop and represents an important trade commodity for millions of people living in tropical and subtropical countries. The most important edible banana clones originated from natural crosses between diploid Musa balbisiana and various subspecies of M. acuminata. It is worth mentioning that evolution and speciation in the Musaceae family were accompanied by large-scale chromosome structural changes, indicating possible reasons for lower fertility or complete sterility of these vegetatively propagated clones. Chromosomal changes, often accompanied by changes in genome size, are one of the driving forces underlying speciation in plants. They can clarify the genomic constitution of edible bananas and shed light on their origin and on diversification processes in members of the Musaceae family. This article reviews the development of molecular cytogenetic approaches, ranging from classical fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using common cytogenetic markers to oligo painting FISH. We discuss differences in genome size and chromosome number across the Musaceae family in addition to the development of new chromosome-specific cytogenetic probes and their use in genome structure and comparative karyotype analysis. The impact of these methodological advances on our knowledge of Musa genome evolution at the chromosomal level is demonstrated. In addition to citing published results, we include our own new unpublished results and outline future applications of molecular cytogenetics in banana research.

Abstract
Karyotypes provide key cytogenetic information on the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary origins in related eukaryotic species. Despite our knowledge of the chromosome numbers of sugarcane and its wild relatives, the chromosome composition and evolution among the species in the Saccharum complex have been elusive owing to the complex polyploidy and the large numbers of chromosomes of these species. Oligonucleotide-based chromosome painting has become a powerful tool of cytogenetic studies especially for plant species with large numbers of chromosomes. We developed oligo-based chromosome painting probes for all 10 chromosomes in Saccharum officinarum (2n = 8x = 80). The 10 painting probes generated robust fluorescence in situ hybridization signals in all plant species within the Saccharum complex, including species in the genera Saccharum, Miscanthus, Narenga and Erianthus. We conducted comparative chromosome analysis using the same set of probes among species from four different genera within the Saccharum complex. Excitingly, we discovered several novel cytotypes and chromosome rearrangements in these species. We discovered that fusion from two different chromosomes is a common type of chromosome rearrangement associated with the species in the Saccharum complex. Such fusion events changed the basic chromosome number and resulted in distinct allopolyploids in the Saccharum complex.

Abstract
An Oligo-FISH barcode system was developed for two model legumes, allowing the identification of all cowpea and common bean chromosomes in a single FISH experiment, and revealing new chromosome rearrangements. The FISH barcode system emerges as an effective tool to understand the chromosome evolution of economically important legumes and their related species. Current status on plant cytogenetic and cytogenomic research has allowed the selection and design of oligo-specific probes to individually identify each chromosome of the karyotype in a target species. Here, we developed the first chromosome identification system for legumes based on oligo-FISH barcode probes. We selected conserved genomic regions between Vigna unguiculata (Vu, cowpea) and Phaseolus vulgaris (Pv, common bean) (diverged ~ 9.7-15 Mya), using cowpea as a reference, to produce a unique barcode pattern for each species. We combined our oligo-FISH barcode pattern with a set of previously developed FISH probes based on BACs and ribosomal DNA sequences. In addition, we integrated our FISH maps with genome sequence data. Based on this integrated analysis, we confirmed two translocation events (involving chromosomes 1, 5, and 8; and chromosomes 2 and 3) between both species. The application of the oligo-based probes allowed us to demonstrate the participation of chromosome 5 in the translocation complex for the first time. Additionally, we detailed a pericentric inversion on chromosome 4 and identified a new paracentric inversion on chromosome 10. We also detected centromere repositioning associated with chromosomes 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9, confirming previous results for chromosomes 2 and 3. This first barcode system for legumes can be applied for karyotyping other Phaseolinae species, especially non-model, orphan crop species lacking genomic assemblies and cytogenetic maps, expanding our understanding of the chromosome evolution and genome organization of this economically important legume group.

Chromosome identification in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) using in situ hybridization with massive pools of single copy oligonucleotides and transferability across Arecaceae species. Chromosome Res 2021; 29:373-390.

Abstract
Chromosome identification is essential for linking sequence and chromosomal maps, verifying sequence assemblies, showing structural variations and tracking inheritance or recombination of chromosomes and chromosomal segments during evolution and breeding programs. Unfortunately, identification of individual chromosomes and chromosome arms has been a major challenge for some economically important crop species with a near-continuous chromosome size range and similar morphology. Here, we developed oligonucleotide-based chromosome-specific probes that enabled us to establish a reference chromosome identification system for oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq., 2n = 32). Massive oligonucleotide sequence pools were anchored to individual chromosome arms using dual and triple fluorescent in situ hybridization (EgOligoFISH). Three fluorescently tagged probe libraries were developed to contain, in total 52,506 gene-rich single-copy 47-mer oligonucleotides spanning each 0.2-0.5 Mb across strategically placed chromosome regions. They generated 19 distinct FISH signals and together with rDNA probes enabled identification of all 32 E. guineensis chromosome arms. The probes were able to identify individual homoeologous chromosome regions in the related Arecaceae palm species: American oil palm (Elaeis oleifera), date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and coconut (Cocos nucifera) showing the comparative organization and concerted evolution of genomes in the Arecaceae. The oligonucleotide probes developed here provide a valuable approach to chromosome arm identification and allow tracking chromosome transfer in hybridization and breeding programs in oil palm, as well as comparative studies within Arecaceae.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide (oligo)-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has rapidly becoming the new generation of FISH technique in plant molecular cytogenetics research. Genome-scale identification of single-copy oligos is the foundation of successful oligo-FISH experiments. Here, we introduce Chorus2, a software that is developed specifically for oligo selection. We demonstrate that Chorus2 is highly effective to remove all repetitive elements in selection of single-copy oligos, which is critical for the development of successful FISH probes. Chorus2 is more effective than Chorus, the original version of the pipeline, and OligoMiner for repeat removal. Chorus2 allows to select oligos that are conserved among related species, which extends the usage of oligo-FISH probes among phylogenetically related plant species. We also implemented a new function in Chorus2 that allows development of FISH probes from plant species without an assembled genome. We anticipate that Chorus2 can be used in plants as well as in mammalian and other non-plant species. Chorus2 will broadly facilitate the design of FISH probes for various types of application in molecular cytogenetics research.

Abstract
Sugarcane is of important economic value for producing sugar and bioethanol. Tripidium arundinaceum (old name: Erianthus arundinaceum) is an intergeneric wild species of sugarcane that has desirable resistance traits for improving sugarcane varieties. However, the scarcity of chromosome markers has hindered the cytogenetic study of T. arundinaceum. Here we applied maize chromosome painting probes (MCPs) to identify chromosomes in sorghum and T. arundinaceum using a repeated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) system. Sequential FISH revealed that these MCPs can be used as reliable chromosome markers for T. arundinaceum, even though T. arundinaceum has diverged from maize over 18 MYs (million years). Using these MCPs, we identified T. arundinaceum chromosomes based on their sequence similarity compared to sorghum and labeled them 1 through 10. Then, the karyotype of T. arundinaceum was established by multiple oligo-FISH. Furthermore, FISH results revealed that 5S rDNA and 35S rDNA are localized on chromosomes 5 and 6, respectively, in T. arundinaceum. Altogether, these results represent an essential step for further cytogenetic research of T. arundinaceum in sugarcane breeding.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides fluorescence in situ hybridization (Oligo-FISH) is an emerging technology and is an important tool in research areas such as detection of chromosome variation, identification of allopolyploid, and deciphering of three-dimensional (3D) genome structures. Based on the demand for highly efficient oligo probes for oligo-FISH experiments, increasing numbers of tools have been developed for probe design in recent years. Obsolete oligonucleotide design tools have been adapted for oligo-FISH probe design because of their similar considerations. With the development of DNA sequencing and large-scale synthesis, novel tools have been designed to increase the specificity of designed oligo probes and enable genome-scale oligo probe design, which has greatly improved the application of single copy oligo-FISH. Despite this, few studies have introduced the development of the oligo-FISH probe design tools and their application in FISH experiments systematically. Besides, a comprehensive comparison and evaluation is lacking for the available tools. In this review, we provide an overview of the oligo-FISH probe design process, summarize the development and application of the available tools, evaluate several state-of-art tools, and eventually provide guidance for single copy oligo-FISH probe design.

Abstract
Chromosome karyotyping analysis is particularly useful in determining species relationships and the origin of polyploid species. Identification of individual chromosomes is the foundation for karyotype development. For Fragaria (strawberry) species, definitive identification of the individual chromosomes is extremely difficult because of their small size and similar shape. Here, we identified all chromosomes for 11 representative Fragaria species with different ploidy using a set of oligonucleotide-based probes developed in Fragaria vesca. Comprehensive molecular cytogenetic karyotypes were established based on the individually identified chromosomes. In addition, we used oligo probes to assign the 5S and 45S rDNA loci to specific chromosomes in 16 Fragaria species. We found that these Fragaria species maintained a remarkably conserved karyotype. No inter-chromosomal structural rearrangements at the cytological level were observed in any of the chromosomes among these species. Despite karyotypic stability and similarity, variations in the signal intensity of oligo probes were observed among the homologous chromosomes in several polyploid species. Moreover, most Fragaria species also showed differences in the distribution patterns of 45S and 5S rDNA. These data provide new insights into the origins of several polyploid Fragaria species.

Abstract
Cytogenomic resources have accelerated synteny and chromosome evolution studies in plant species, including legumes. Here, we established the first cytogenetic map of V. angularis (Va, subgenus Ceratotropis) and compared this new map with those of V. unguiculata (Vu, subgenus Vigna) and P. vulgaris (Pv) by BAC-FISH and oligopainting approaches. We mapped 19 Vu BACs and 35S rDNA probes to the 11 chromosome pairs of Va, Vu, and Pv. Vigna angularis shared a high degree of macrosynteny with Vu and Pv, with five conserved syntenic chromosomes. Additionally, we developed two oligo probes (Pv2 and Pv3) used to paint Vigna orthologous chromosomes. We confirmed two reciprocal translocations (chromosomes 2 and 3 and 1 and 8) that have occurred after the Vigna and Phaseolus divergence (~9.7 Mya). Besides, two inversions (2 and 4) and one translocation (1 and 5) have occurred after Vigna and Ceratotropis subgenera separation (~3.6 Mya). We also observed distinct oligopainting patterns for chromosomes 2 and 3 of Vigna species. Both Vigna species shared similar major rearrangements compared to Pv: one translocation (2 and 3) and one inversion (chromosome 3). The sequence synteny identified additional inversions and/or intrachromosomal translocations involving pericentromeric regions of both orthologous chromosomes. We propose chromosomes 2 and 3 as hotspots for chromosomal rearrangements and de novo centromere formation within and between Vigna and Phaseolus. Our BAC- and oligo-FISH mapping contributed to physically trace the chromosome evolution of Vigna and Phaseolus and its application in further studies of both genera.

Abstract
Meiotic chromosome pairing between homoeologous chromosomes was reported in many nascent allopolyploids. Homoeologous pairing is gradually eliminated and replaced by exclusive homologous pairing in well-established allopolyploids, an evolutionary process referred to as the diploidization of allopolyploids. A fundamental question of the diploidization of allopolyploids is whether and to what extent the DNA sequence variation among homoeologous chromosomes contribute to the establishment of exclusive homologous chromosome pairing. We developed aneuploid tetraploid maize lines that contain three copies of chromosome 10 derived from inbred lines B73 and H99. We were able to identify the parental origin of each copy of chromosome 10 in the materials using oligonucleotide-based haplotype-specific chromosome painting. We demonstrate that the two identical copies of chromosome 10 from H99 pair preferentially over chromosome 10 from B73 in different stages of prophase I and metaphase I during meiosis. Thus, homologous chromosome pairing is favored to partners with the most similar DNA sequences and can be discriminated based on cryptic sequence variation. We propose that innate preference of homologous chromosome pairing exists in nascent allopolyploids and serves as the first layer that would eventually block all homoeologous chromosome pairing in allopolyploids.

Abstract
Flooding stress caused by excessive precipitation and poor drainage threatens upland crop production and food sustainability, so new upland crop cultivars are needed with greater tolerance to soil flooding (waterlogging). So far, however, there have been no reports of highly flooding-tolerant upland crop cultivars, including maize, because of the lack of flooding-tolerant germplasm and the presence of a large number of traits affecting flooding tolerance. To achieve the goal of breeding flooding-tolerant maize cultivars by overcoming these difficulties, we chose highly flooding-tolerant teosinte germplasm. These flooding-tolerance-related traits were separately assessed by establishing a method for the accurate evaluation of each one, followed by performing quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses for each trait using maize × teosinte mapping populations, developing introgression lines (ILs) or near-isogenic lines (NILs) containing QTLs and pyramiding useful traits. We have identified QTLs for flooding-tolerance-related root traits, including the capacity to form aerenchyma, formation of radial oxygen loss barriers, tolerance to flooded reducing soil conditions, flooding-induced adventitious root formation and shallow root angle. In addition, we have developed several ILs and NILs with flooding-tolerance-related QTLs and are currently developing pyramided lines. These lines should be valuable for practical maize breeding programs focused on flooding tolerance.

Abstract
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the main sources of plant proteins in the Indian subcontinent and West Asia, where two different morphotypes, desi and kabuli, are grown. Despite the progress in genome mapping and sequencing, the knowledge of the chickpea genome at the chromosomal level, including the long-range molecular chromosome organization, is limited. Earlier cytogenetic studies in chickpea suffered from a limited number of cytogenetic landmarks and did not permit to identify individual chromosomes in the metaphase spreads or to anchor pseudomolecules to chromosomes in situ. In this study, we developed a system for fast molecular karyotyping for both morphotypes of cultivated chickpea. We demonstrate that even draft genome sequences are adequate to develop oligo-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) barcodes for the identification of chromosomes and comparative analysis among closely related chickpea genotypes. Our results show the potential of oligo-FISH barcoding for the identification of structural changes in chromosomes, which accompanied genome diversification among chickpea cultivars. Moreover, oligo-FISH barcoding in chickpea pointed out some problematic, most probably wrongly assembled regions of the pseudomolecules of both kabuli and desi reference genomes. Thus, oligo-FISH appears as a powerful tool not only for comparative karyotyping but also for the validation of genome assemblies.

Abstract
Reliable identification of individual chromosomes in eukaryotic species is the foundation for comparative chromosome synteny and evolutionary studies. Unfortunately, chromosome identification has been a major challenge for plants with small chromosomes, such as the Citrus species. We developed oligonucleotide-based chromosome painting probes for all nine chromosomes in Citrus maxima (Pummelo). We were able to identify all C. maxima chromosomes in the same metaphase cells using multiple rounds of sequential fluorescence in situ hybridization with the painting probes. We conducted comparative chromosome painting analysis in six different Citrus and related species. We found that each painting probe hybridized to only a single chromosome in all other five species, suggesting that the six species have maintained a complete chromosomal synteny after more than 9 million years of divergence. No interchromosomal rearrangement was identified in any species. These results support the hypothesis that karyotypes of woody species are more stable than herbaceous plants because woody plants need a longer period to fix chromosome structural variants in natural populations.
