Abstract
In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), chromosome associations during meiosis are extremely regulated and initiate at the telomeres and subtelomeres, which are enriched in satellite DNA (satDNA). We present the study and characterization of the bread wheat satellitome to shed light on the molecular organization of wheat subtelomeres. Our results revealed that the 2.53% of bread wheat genome is composed by satDNA and subtelomeres are particularly enriched in such DNA sequences. Thirty-four satellite DNA (21 for the first time in this work) have been identified, analyzed and cytogenetically validated. Many of the satDNAs were specifically found at particular subtelomeric chromosome regions revealing the asymmetry in subtelomere organisation among the wheat subgenomes, which might play a role in proper homologous recognition and pairing during meiosis. An integrated physical map of the wheat satellitome was also constructed. To the best of our knowledge, our results show that the combination of both cytogenetics and genome research allowed the first comprehensive analysis of the wheat satellitome, shedding light on the complex wheat genome organization, especially on the polymorphic nature of subtelomeres and their putative implication in chromosome recognition and pairing during meiosis.

Wheat, Rye, and Barley Genomes Can Associate during Meiosis in Newly Synthesized Trigeneric Hybrids. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10010113.

Abstract
Polyploidization, or whole genome duplication (WGD), has an important role in evolution and speciation. One of the biggest challenges faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, in particular, discriminating between multiple related chromosomes so that only homologs recombine to ensure regular chromosome segregation and fertility. Here, we report the production of two new hybrids formed by the genomes of species from three different genera: a hybrid between Aegilops tauschii (DD), Hordeum chilense (HchHch), and Secale cereale (RR) with the haploid genomic constitution HchDR (n = 7× = 21); and a hybrid between Triticum turgidum spp. durum (AABB), H. chilense, and S. cereale with the constitution ABHchR (n = 7× = 28). We used genomic in situ hybridization and immunolocalization of key meiotic proteins to establish the chromosome composition of the new hybrids and to study their meiotic behavior. Interestingly, there were multiple chromosome associations at metaphase I in both hybrids. A high level of crossover (CO) formation was observed in HchDR, which shows the possibility of meiotic recombination between the different genomes. We succeeded in the duplication of the ABHchR genome, and several amphiploids, AABBHchHchRR, were obtained and characterized. These results indicate that recombination between the genera of three economically important crops is possible.

Abstract
Karyotypes of three accessions of Hordeum chilense (H1, H16, and H7), Hordeum vulgare, and Triticum aestivum were characterized by physical mapping of several repetitive sequences. A total of 14 repetitive sequences were used as probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the aim of identifying inter- and intraspecies polymorphisms. The (AG)12 and 4P6 probes only produced hybridization signals in wheat, the BAC7 probe only hybridized to the centromeric region of H. vulgare, and the pSc119.2 probe hybridized to both wheat and H. chilense, but not to H. vulgare. The remaining repetitive sequences used in this study produced a hybridization signal in all the genotypes. Probes pAs1, pTa-535, pTa71, CCS1, and CRW were much conserved, showing no significant polymorphism among the genotypes studied. Probes GAA, (AAC)5, (CTA)5, HvT01, and pTa794 produced the most different hybridization pattern. We identified large polymorphisms in the three accessions of H. chilense studied, supporting the proposal of the existence of different groups inside species of H. chilense. The set of probes described in this work allowed the identification of every single chromosome in all three species, providing a complete cytogenetic karyotype of H. chilense, H. vulgare, and T. aestivum chromosomes, which could be useful in wheat and tritordeum breeding programs.

Abstract
Deschampsia antarctica Desv. (Poaceae) (2n = 26) is one of the two vascular plants adapted to the harshest environment of the Antarctic. Although the species is a valuable model for study of environmental stress tolerance in plants, its karyotype is still poorly investigated. We firstly conducted a comprehensive molecular cytogenetic analysis of D. antarctica collected on four islands of the Maritime Antarctic. D. antarctica karyotypes were studied by Giemsa C- and DAPI/C-banding, Ag-NOR staining, multicolour fluorescence in situ hybridization with repeated DNA probes (pTa71, pTa794, telomere repeats, pSc119.2, pAs1) and the GAA simple sequence repeat probe. We also performed sequential rapid in situ hybridization with genomic DNA of D. caespitosa. Two chromosome pairs bearing transcriptionally active 45S rDNA loci and five pairs with 5S rDNA sites were detected. A weak intercalary site of telomere repeats was revealed on the largest chromosome in addition to telomere hybridization signals at terminal positions. This fact confirms indirectly the hypothesis that chromosome fusion might have been the cause of the unusual for cereals chromosome number in this species. Based on patterns of distribution of the examined molecular cytogenetic markers, all chromosomes in karyotypes were identified, and chromosome idiograms of D. antarctica were constructed. B chromosomes were found in most karyotypes of plants from Darboux Island. A mixoploid plant with mainly triploid cells bearing a Robertsonian rearrangement was detected among typical diploid specimens from Great Jalour Island. The karyotype variability found in D. antarctica is probably an expression of genome instability induced by environmental stress factors. The differences in C-banding patterns and in chromosome distribution of rDNA loci as well as homologous highly repeated DNA sequences detected between genomes of D. antarctica and its related species D. caespitosa indicate that genome reorganization involving coding and noncoding repeated DNA sequences had occurred during the divergence of these species.

Abstract
The use of crop wild relative species to improve major crops performance is well established. Hordeum chilense has a high potential as a genetic donor to increase the carotenoid content of wheat. Crosses between the 7HchH. chilense substitution lines in wheat and the wheat pairing homoeologous1b (ph1b) mutant allowed the development of wheat-H. chilense translocation lines for both 7Hchα and 7Hchβ chromosome arms in the wheat background. These translocation lines were characterized by in situ hybridization and using molecular markers. In addition, reverse phase chromatography (HPLC) analysis was carried out to evaluate the carotenoid content and both 7Hchα∙7AL and 7AS∙7Hchβ disomic translocation lines. The carotenoid content in 7Hchα∙7AL and 7AS∙7Hchβ disomic translocation lines was higher than the wheat-7Hch addition line and double amount of carotenoids than the wheat itself. A proteomic analysis confirmed that the presence of chromosome 7Hch introgressions in wheat scarcely altered the proteomic profile of the wheat flour. The Psy1 (Phytoene Synthase1) gene, which is the first committed step in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, was also cytogenetically mapped on the 7Hchα chromosome arm. These new wheat-H. chilense translocation lines can be used as a powerful tool in wheat breeding programs to enrich the diet in bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Intensive breeding has led to a narrowing in the genetic base of our major crops. In wheat, access to the extensive gene pool residing in its many and varied relatives (some cultivated, others wild) is hampered by the block on recombination imposed by the Ph1 (Pairing homoeologous 1) gene. Here, the ph1b mutant has been exploited to induced allosyndesis between wheat chromosomes and those of both Hordeum vulgare (cultivated barley) and H. chilense (a wild barley). A number of single chromosome Hordeum sp. substitution and addition lines in wheat were crossed and backcrossed to the ph1b mutant to produce plants in which pairing between the wheat and the non-wheat chromosomes was not suppressed by the presence of Ph1. Genomic in situ hybridization was applied to almost 500 BC1F2 progeny as a screen for allosyndetic recombinants. Chromosome rearrangements were detected affecting H. chilense chromosomes 4H (ch) , 5H (ch) , 6H (ch) , and 7H (ch) and H. vulgare chromosomes 4H (v) , 6H (v) , and 7H (v) . Two of these were clearly the product of a recombination event involving chromosome 4H (ch) and a wheat chromosome.

Abstract
Hordeum murinum L. is a species complex composed of related taxa, including the subspecies glaucum, murinum and leporinum. However, the phylogenetic relationships between the different taxa and their cytotypes, and the origin of the polyploid forms, remain points of controversy. The present work reports a comparative karyotype analysis of seven accessions of the H. murinum complex representing all subspecies and cytotypes. The karyotypes were determined by examining the distribution of the repetitive Triticeae DNA sequences pTa71, pTa794, pSc119.2, pAs1 and pHch950, the simple sequence repeats (SSRs) (AG)10, (AAC)5, (AAG)5, (ACT)5, (ATC)5, and (CCCTAAA)3 via in situ hybridization. The chromosomes of the three subgenomes involved in the polyploids were identified. All tetraploids of all subspecies shared the same two subgenomes (thus suggesting them to in fact belong to the same taxon), the result of hybridization between two diploid ancestors. One of the subgenomes present in all tetraploids of all subspecies was found to be very similar (though not identical) to the chromosome complement of the diploid glaucum. The hexaploid form of leporinum came about through a cross between a tetraploid and a third diploid form. Exclusively bivalent associations among homologous chromosomes were observed when analyzing pollen mother cells of tetraploid taxa. In conclusion, the present results identify all the individual chromosomes within the H. murinum complex, reveal its genome structure and phylogeny, and explain the appearance of the different cytotypes. Three cryptic species are proposed according to ploidy level that may deserve full taxonomic recognition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hordeum chilense, a native South American diploid wild barley, is one of the species of the genus Hordeum with a high potential for cereal breeding purposes, given its high crossability with other members of the Triticeae tribe. Hexaploid tritordeum (×Tritordeum Ascherson et Graebner, 2n=6×=42, AABBH(ch)H(ch)) is the fertile amphiploid obtained after chromosome doubling of hybrids between Hordeum chilense and durum wheat. Approaches used in the improvement of this crop have included crosses with hexaploid wheat to promote D/H(ch) chromosome substitutions. While this approach has been successful as was the case with triticale, it has also complicated the genetic composition of the breeding materials. Until now tritordeum lines were analyzed based on molecular cytogenetic techniques and screening with a small set of DNA markers. However, the recent development of DArT markers in H. chilense offers new possibilities to screen large number of accessions more efficiently. RESULTS Here, we have applied DArT markers to genotype composition in forty-six accessions of hexaploid tritordeum originating from different stages of tritordeum breeding program and to H. chilense-wheat chromosome addition lines to allow their physical mapping. Diversity analyses were conducted including dendrogram construction, principal component analysis and structure inference. Euploid and substituted tritordeums were clearly discriminated independently of the method used. However, dendrogram and Structure analyses allowed the clearest discrimination among substituted tritordeums. The physically mapped markers allowed identifying these groups as substituted tritordeums carrying the following disomic substitutions (DS): DS1D (1H(ch)), DS2D (2H(ch)), DS5D (5H(ch)), DS6D (6H(ch)) and the double substitution DS2D (2H(ch)), DS5D (5H(ch)). These results were validated using chromosome specific EST and SSR markers and GISH analysis. CONCLUSION In conclusion, DArT markers have proved to be very useful to detect chromosome substitutions in the tritordeum breeding program and thus they are expected to be equally useful to detect translocations both in the tritordeum breeding program and in the transference of H. chilense genetic material in wheat breeding programs.

Abstract
Genome differentiation in 12 diploid Aegilops species was analyzed using in situ hybridization with the highly repetitive DNA sequences pSc119 and pAs1 and C-banding. Chromosomes of all these diploid Aegilops species hybridized with the pSc119 probe; however, the level of hybridization and labeling patterns differed among genomes. Only four species (Ae. squarrosa, Ae. comosa, Ae. heldreichii, and Ae. uniaristata) showed distinct hybridization with pAs1. The labeling patterns were species-specific and chromosome-specific. Differences in in situ hybridization (ISH) patterns, also observed by C-banding, exist between the karyotypes of Ae. comosa and Ae. heldreichii, suggesting that they are separate, although closely related, subspecies. The S genome of Ae. spelioides was most similar to the B and G genomes of polyploid wheats on the basis of both C-banding and ISH patterns, but was different from other species of section Sitopsis. These species had different C-banding patterns but they were similar to each other and to Ae. mutica in the distribution of pSc119 hybridization sites. Two types of labeling were detected in Ae. squarrosa with the pAs1 probe. The first resembled that of the D-genome chromosomes of bread wheat, Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell., while the second was similar to the D genome of some of the polyploid Aegilops species. Relationships among diploid Aegilops species and the possible mechanisms of genome differentiation are discussed. Key words : wheat, Triticum, Aegilops, in situ hybridization, C-banding, evolution.

Abstract
Background The wild barley Hordeum chilense Roem. et Schult. is a valuable source of genes for increasing carotenoid content in wheat. Tritordeums, the amphiploids derived from durum or common wheat and H. chilense, systematically show higher values of yellow pigment colour and carotenoid content than durum wheat. Phytoene synthase 1 gene (Psy1) is considered a key step limiting the carotenoid biosynthesis, and the correlation of Psy1 transcripts accumulation and endosperm carotenoid content has been demonstrated in the main grass species. Methodology/Principal findings We analyze the variability of Psy1 alleles in three lines of H. chilense (H1, H7 and H16) representing the three ecotypes described in this species. Moreover, we analyze Psy1 expression in leaves and in two seed developing stages of H1 and H7, showing mRNA accumulation patterns similar to those of wheat. Finally, we identify thirty-six different transcripts forms originated by alternative splicing of the 5′ UTR and/or exons 1 to 5 of Psy1 gene. Transcripts function is tested in a heterologous complementation assay, revealing that from the sixteen different predicted proteins only four types (those of 432, 370, 364 and 271 amino acids), are functional in the bacterial system. Conclusions/Significance The large number of transcripts originated by alternative splicing of Psy1, and the coexistence of functional and non functional forms, suggest a fine regulation of PSY activity in H. chilense. This work is the first analysis of H. chilense Psy1 gene and the results reported here are the bases for its potential use in carotenoid enhancement in durum wheat.

Abstract
Hordeum chilense Roem. et Schult. (2n = 14) is an autogamous wild barley from Chile and Argentina included in the section Anisolepis Nevski. This species shows interesting agronomic traits that can be incorporated into crop plant species. Hordeum chilense has been successfully crossed with species of the genus Aegilops. Among the amphiploids obtained, the hexaploid tritordeum (2n = 6x = 42, AABBHchHch) is outstanding and shows good agronomic characteristics, suggesting its potential either as a new crop or as a bridge species to introgress interesting traits into cultivated cereals. The aim of the present work was to study the hybridization patterns of the two repetitive DNA probes pAs1 and pSc119.2 to evaluate their utility for the identification of H. chilense chromosomes. Fourteen lines of H. chilense were analyzed with fluorescent in situ hybridization using probes pSc119.2 and pAs1. The probe pAs1 was more widely dispersed than pSc119.2 over the H. chilense (Hch) genome. We found 89 different signals for pAs1, distributed evenly over the whole genome, and 10 for pSc119.2, located mainly over the telomeric regions. Five distinct hybridization signals were found for pAs1 and four distinct signals for pSc119.2. These signals allow the identification of different H. chilense lines. For example, centromeric signals for pAs1 on the short arms of chromosomes 1 and 7 identify line H46, and a telomeric signal for pSc119.2 on the short arm of chromosome 2 identifies line H1. A high degree of polymorphism in the hybridization patterns was found, confirming the extensive variability present in H. chilense. This work provides tools for the identification of H. chilense chromosomes in different genetic backgrounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hordeum chilense, a native South American diploid wild barley, is a potential source of useful genes for cereal breeding. The use of this wild species to increase genetic variation in cereals will be greatly facilitated by marker-assisted selection. Different economically feasible approaches have been undertaken for this wild species with limited direct agricultural use in a search for suitable and cost-effective markers. The availability of Expressed Sequence Tags (EST) derived microsatellites or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, commonly called as EST-SSRs, for barley (Hordeum vulgare) represents a promising source to increase the number of genetic markers available for the H. chilense genome. RESULTS All of the 82 barley EST-derived SSR primer pairs tested for transferability to H. chilense amplified products of correct size from this species. Of these 82 barley EST-SSRs, 21 (26%) showed polymorphism among H. chilense lines. Identified polymorphic markers were used to test the transferability and polymorphism in other Poaceae family species with the aim of establishing H. chilense phylogenetic relationships. Triticum aestivum-H. chilense addition lines allowed us to determine the chromosomal localizations of EST-SSR markers and confirm conservation of the linkage group. CONCLUSION From the present study a set of 21 polymorphic EST-SSR markers have been identified to be useful for diversity analysis of H. chilense, related wild barleys like H. murinum, and for wheat marker-assisted introgression breeding. Across-genera transferability of the barley EST-SSR markers has allowed phylogenetic inference within the Triticeae complex.

Abstract
We report a new cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) source in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) designated as msH1. CMS has been identified during the process of obtaining alloplasmic bread wheat in different Hordeum chilense Roem. Schultz. cytoplasms. It was observed that when using the H. chilense H1 accession, the corresponding alloplasmic line was male sterile. This alloplasmic wheat is stable under different environmental conditions and it does not exhibit developmental or floral abnormalities, showing only slightly reduced height and some delay in heading. On examining microsporogenesis in the alloplasmic line, it was found that different stages of meiosis were completed normally, but abnormal development occurred at the uninucleate-pollen stage at the first mitosis, resulting in failure of anther exertion and pollen abortion. Fertility restoration of the CMS phenotype caused by the H. chilense cytoplasm was associated with the addition of chromosome 6HchS from H. chilense accession H1. Thus, some fertility restoration genes appear to be located in this chromosome arm. Considering the features displayed by the msH1 system, we consider that it has a great potential for the development of viable technology for hybrid wheat production.

Abstract
Hordeum vulgare, cultivated barley, and its wild relative, H. chilense, have several important traits that might be useful for wheat improvement. Here, in situ hybridization and barley expressed sequence tag (EST) markers were used to characterize and compare the chromosomes of H. chilense with those of H. vulgare. FISH with four repetitive DNA sequences, AG, AAG, 5S rDNA and 45S rDNA, was applied to the mitotic chromosomes of H. vulgare, H. chilense and available wheat-H. chilense addition and substitution lines. FISH with the AAG repeat differentiated the individual chromosomes of H. chilense and H. vulgare. The patterns of FISH signals in the two species differed greatly. The 45S rDNA signals were observed on two pairs of chromosomes in both species, while the 5S rDNA signals were observed on four pairs of chromosomes in H. vulgare and on one pair in H. chilense. The AG repeat showed FISH signals at the centromeric regions of all chromosomes of H. vulgare but none of the chromosomes of H. chilense. These results indicate that the chromosomes of the two species are highly differentiated. To study the homoeology between the two species, 209 EST markers of H. vulgare were allocated to individual chromosomes of H. chilense. One hundred and forty of the EST markers were allocated to respective chromosomes of H. chilense using the wheat-H. chilense addition and substitution lines. Twenty-six EST markers on average were allocated to each chromosome except to the chromosome 2H(ch)S, to which only 10 markers were allocated. Ninety percent of the allocated EST markers in H. chilense were placed on H. vulgare chromosomes of the same homo-eologous group, indicating that the expressed sequences of the two species were highly conserved. These EST markers would be useful for detecting chromatin introgressed from these species into the wheat genome.

Abstract
Hordeum chilense Roem. et Schult. has a number of characteristics interesting for breeding: high crossability with other Triticeae, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and high variability for quality traits such as endosperm storage proteins or carotenoid content. xTritordeum, the amphiploids between H. chilense and different Triticum spp, are bridge species which facilitate the transfer of traits from H. chilense to wheat or triticale. The chromosome pairing between H. chilense and wheat chromosomes is very low (if existing) even in the absence of the action of the Ph1 gene. Nevertheless, translocation between H. chilense and wheat chromosomes has been observed frequently in genomic combinations where univalents of both species are present and therefore a method is available for using H. chilense in wheat or triticale breeding. Hybrids and amphiploids with other crop species of the Triticeae, such as rye or barley, have also been obtained, although to date the production of stable introgression stocks has not been completed. The technique of chromosome painting, using both high- and low-repeated DNA sequences in combination with genomic in situ hybridization have been used as effective methods for basic cytogenetic research in H. chilense, allowing analysis of genome evolution, and monitoring H. chilense chromosomes in interspecific hybridization breeding programs.

Abstract
The chromosomal distribution of telomeric repeat pAtT4 from Arabidopsis thaliana and telomeric associated repetitive sequence HvT01 from Hordeum vulgare have been studied by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) in two accessions (H1 and H7) of Hordeum chilense. The telomeric sequence pAtT4 is present at the end of all chromosome arms in H1 and H7 accessions. In contrast, the telomeric associated sequence homologous to HvT01 showed variability for size, intensity and position of the signals for each line. In H1, HvT01 was present in every chromosome whereas only four chromosomes were labeled in H7 accession. Physical distribution of GAA-satellite sequence on both H1 and H7 metaphase chromosomes was also studied. Polymorphism for hybridization signals between the two accessions for GAA-banding pattern was also found. Based on differences in position and intensity of the hybridization signals found for both GAA and HvT01-homologous sequences, karyotypes for the in situ hybridization patterns are presented for H1 and H7 accessions of H. chilense.

Abstract
The endosperm storage proteins of Hordeum chilense Roem. et Schult., a species used in the synthesis of the amphiploid tritordeum (x Tritordeum Ascherson et Graebner), have a great effect on the gluten strength of this amphiploid. We have analysed electrophoretically the heredity of these proteins, which are synthesised by genes located on chromosome 1H(ch), and detected up to five loci in a cross between two lines of H. chilense. These loci present a certain homology with loci synthesising the same proteins in wheat. The genetic distances between these loci were calculated.

Abstract
A selection of 51 barley Sequence-Tagged Sites (STSs) were studied for their utility in Hordeum chilense. They included four primer sets from wheat origin and six primer sets from oat origin. Forty-four primer pairs amplified H. chilense products consistently. Five primer pairs were suitable for studying the introgression of H. chilense in wheat because they amplified H. chilense products of distinct size. Six of the STSs showed polymorphism between different H. chilense accessions. The results showed that barley STSs could be useful for the genetic characterization of H. chilense, tritordeums and derived introgression lines.

Abstract
The ability to detect small low- or single-copy DNA sequences by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) is an important step towards physical mapping of plant genomes. In this study, the FISH technique was used to physically map the Glu-1 loci controlling high-molecular weight (HMW) glutenin in common wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. 'Chinese Spring') and tritordeum (an amphiploid between T. turgidum cv. durum and Hordeum chilense). The probe used was the single-copy Glu-D1-1d gene coding the 1Dx5 HMW glutenin subunit. Three loci were mapped on chromosomes of wheat homoeologous group 1 (arm 1AL, 1BL and 1DL). The Glu-1 loci were mapped (fraction of the distance from the centromere) at positions 0.76 +/- 0.01, 0.69 +/- 0.01 and 0.76 +/- 0.01, on arms 1AL, 1BL and 1DL, respectively. The Glu-1 loci were also mapped on chromosomes of homoeologous group 1 of tritordeum at positions 0.75 +/- 0.01, 0.70 +/- 0.01 and 0.60 +/- 0.01, on arms 1AL, 1BL and 1HchL, respectively. Chromosomes with positive signals were identified by reprobing chromosome preparations using both the GAA-satellite and pAs1 sequences simultaneously. The application of the FISH technique to study homoeology among different genomes is discussed.

Abstract
The physical locations of 5S and 18S-25S rDNA sequences in 15 diploid Hordeum species with the I genome were examined by double-target in situ hybridization with pTa71 (18S-25S rDNA) and pTa794 (5S rDNA) clones as probes. All the three Asian species had a species-specific rDNA pattern. In 12 American species studied, eight different rDNA types were found. The type reported previously in H. chilense (the 'chilense' type) was observed in eight American species. The chilense type had double 5S rDNA sites - two sites on one chromosome arm separated by a short distance - and two pairs of major 18S-25S rDNA sites on two pairs of satellite chromosomes. The other seven types found in American species were similar to the chilense type and could be derived from the chilense type through deletion, reduction or addition of a rDNA site. Intraspecific polymorphisms were observed in three American species. The overall similarity in rDNA patterns among American species indicates the close relationships between North and South American species and their derivation from a single ancestral source. The differences in the distribution patterns of 5S and 18S-25S rDNA between Asian and American species suggest differentiation between the I genomes of Asian and American species. The 5S and 18S-25S rDNA sites are useful chromosome markers for delimiting Asian species, but have limited value as a taxonomic character in American species. On the basis of rDNA patterns, karyotype evolution and phylogeny of the I-genome diploid species are discussed.

Abstract
Total genomic Hordeum chilense DNA probe was hybridized to somatic chromosome spreads of Triticum aestivum 'Chinese Spring' and to four advanced tritordeum lines, the latter being the fertile amphiploid between H. chilense and durum wheat (2n = 6x = 42, AABBH(ch)H(ch)). The probe hybridized strongly to the B-genome chromosomes and to one or two bands on the A-genome chromosomes present in both wheat and tritordeum alloploids. Bands on chromosomes 1D, 2D, and 7D from hexaploid wheat were also detected. Genomic H. chilense DNA probe identified 16 chromosome pairs of the chromosome complement of hexaploid wheat and all A- and B-genome chromosomes present in the tritordeum amphiploids. The in situ hybridization patterns observed correspond to those previously reported in wheat by both N-banding and in situ hybridization with the GAA-satellite sequence (Pedersen and Langridge 1997), allowing the identification of these chromosomes. Variation among the tritordeum amphiploids for hybridization sites on chromosomes 2A, 4A, 6A, 7A, 4B, 5B, and 7B was observed. Despite of this polymorphism, all lines shared the general banding pattern. When used as probe, total H. chilense genomic DNA labeled the H. chilense chromosomes over their lengths allowing the identification of 14 H. chilense chromosomes present in the tritordeum amphiploids. In addition, chromosome-specific telomeric, interstial, and centromeric hybridization sites were observed. These hybridization sites coincide with N-banded regions in H. chilense allowing the identification of the individual H. chilense chromosomes in one of the amphiploid. The N-banded karyotypes of H. chilense (accessions H1 and H7) are presented.

Abstract
The Afa-family repetitive sequences were isolated from barley (Hordeum vulgare, 2n = 14) and cloned as pHvA14. This sequence distinguished each barely chromosome by in situ hybridization. Double color fluorescence in situ hybridization using pHvA14 and 5S rDNA or HvRT-family sequence (subtelomeric sequence of barley) allocated individual barley chromosomes showing a specific pattern of pHvA14 to chromosome 1H to 7H. As the case of the D genome chromosomes of Aegilops squarrosa and common wheat (Triticum aestivum) hybridized by its Afa-family sequences, the signals of pHvA14 in barley chromosomes tended to appear in the distal regions that do not carry many chromosome band markers. In the telomeric regions these signals always placed in more proximal portions than those of HvRT-family. Based on the distribution patterns of Afa-family sequences in the chromosomes of barley and D genome chromosomes of wheat, we discuss a possible mechanism of amplification of the repetitive sequences during the evolution of Triticeae. In addition, we show here that HvRT-family also could be used to distinguish individual barley chromosomes from the patterns of in situ hybridization.

Abstract
Southern and in situ hybridization were used to examine the chromosome constitution, genomic relationships, repetitive DNA sequences, and nuclear architecture in durum wheat × tritordeum hybrids (2n = 5x = 35), where tritordeum is the fertile amphiploid (2n = 6x = 42) between Hordeum chilense and durum wheat. Using in situ hybridization, H. chilense total genomic DNA hybridized strongly to the H. chilense chromosomes and weakly to the wheat chromosomes, which showed some strongly labelled bands. pHcKB6, a cloned repetitive sequence isolated from H. chilense, enabled the unequivocal identification of each H. chilense chromosome at metaphase. Analysis of chromosome disposition in prophase nuclei, using the same probes, showed that the chromosomes of H. chilense origin were in individual domains with only limited intermixing with chromosomes of wheat origin. Six major sites of 18S–26S rDNA genes were detected on the chromosomes of the hybrids. Hybridization to Southern transfers of restriction enzyme digests using genomic DNA showed some variants of tandem repeats, perhaps owing to methylation. Both techniques gave complementary information, extending that available from phenotypic, chromosome morphology, or isozyme analysis, and perhaps are useful for following chromosomes or chromosome segments during further crossing of the lines in plant breeding programs.Key words: In situ hybridization, molecular cytogenetics, plant breeding, Hordeum chilense, Southern hybridization, durum wheat, hybrids.

Abstract
The presence and distribution of the most important highly repetitive DNA sequences of rye in cultivated and wild species of the genus Secale were investigated using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Accurate identification of individual chromosomes in the most commonly recognized species or subspecies of the genus Secale (S. cereale, S. ancestrale, S. segetale, S. afghanicum, S. dighoricum, S. montanum, S. montanum ssp. kuprijanovii, S. africanum, S. anatolicum, S. vavilovii, and S. silvestre) was achieved using three highly repetitive rye DNA sequences (probes pSc119.2, pSc74, and pSc34) and the 5S ribosomal DNA sequence pTa794. It is difficult to superimpose trends in the complexity of repetitive DNA during the evolution of the genus on conclusions from other cytogenetic and morphological assays. However, there are two clear groups. The first comprises the self-pollinated annuals S. silvestre and S. vavilovii that have few repeated nucleotide sequences of the main families of 120 and 480 bp. The second group presents amplification and interstitialization of the repeated nucleotide sequences and includes the perennials S. montanum, S. anatolicum, S. africanum, and S. kuprijanovii, as well as the annual and open-pollinated species S. cereale and its related weedy forms. The appearance of a new locus for 5S rRNA in S. cereale and S. ancestrale suggests that cultivated ryes evolved from this wild weedy species.

Plant material included natural populations of wild barley growing in Spain of the annual species, H. marinum ssp. marinum (2n = 14) and gussoneanum (2n = 14), and H. murinum ssp. murinum (2n = 28), and leporinum (2n = 28) and the perennial species H. bulbosum (2n = 14) and H. secalinum (2n = 28), plus the South American perennial species H. chilense (2n = 14). FISH was used to locate the chromosomal sites of two rDNA multigene families 5S and 18S-26S (pTa71 and pTa794) and three repetitive DNA sequences (pSc119.2, pAs1 and pHch950) isolated from different species and genera. The seven chromosomes of the diploid species were readily distinguished by their external morphology and hybridization patterns to pTa71, pTa794, pSc119.2 and pAs1. These DNA probes were also useful for the identification of homologous chromosomes and in differentiating these from unidentified chromosomes in the tetraploid taxa. The use of the probe pHch950 permitted intergenomic differentiation in tetraploids and supports the diphyletic origin of H. murinum and H. secalinum. The in situ experiments yielded the following conclusions: (1) differences between the sub-species marinum and gussoneanum; (2) close relationships between the subspecies murinum and leporinum; and (3) major differences in physical mapping between H. bulbosum and the remaining taxa. The genomic and phylogenetic relationships between taxa, as inferred from the results, are discussed.

Abstract
We report on microdissection, cloning and sequence, and Southern and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of one moderately and one highly amplified repetitive DNA element, pHvMWG2314 and pHvMWG2315, respectively, isolated from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) chromosome arm 3HL. The pHvMWG2315 sequence hybridizes to all 14 telomeric or subtelomeric regions of the barley chromosomes as determined by FISH. The 50 different hybridization sites that include intercalary signals allow the discrimination of all 14 chromosome arms and the construction of a kariotype of barley. The tandemly repeated subtelomeric element of 331 bp exists in all Triticeae species tested (H. vulgare, Agropyron elongatum, Secale cereale, Triticum tauschii, T. turgidum, and T. aestivum). It is AT rich (66%), exibits 84% sequence homology to subfragments of the D genome ¿specific¿ 1-kb element pAs1 of T. tauscii and 75% homology to interspersed genome-specific DNA sequence pHcKB6 from H. chilence. The repetitive sequence pHvMWG2314 is moderately amplified in barley and highly amplified in hexaploid wheat. The in situ experiments revealed no distinct signals on barley chromosomes, indicating a dispersed character for the sequence. The significance of the results for the identification of chromosomes and chromosome aberrations in FISH experiments are discussed.
