以拟南芥25S rDNA、5S rDNA以及端粒序列为探针对菠菜的中期染色体进行了多色荧光原位杂交分析, 其中25S rDNA用生物素标记, 端粒序列用地高辛标记, 5S rDNA用生物素和地高辛共同标记。杂交结果显示, 菠菜中期染色体25S rDNA杂交位点为6个, 分别位于3号、5号和6号染色体的随体部位; 5S rDNA杂交位点为4个, 分别位于3号和5号染色体长臂, 端粒序列杂交位点位于6号染色体端部以及其余染色体的端部和着丝粒部位。

In this study, multicolor FISH analysis on metaphase chromosomes of spinach with biotin-labeled 25S rDNA, DIG-labeled telomere sequences and biotin-labeled and DIG-labeled 5S rDNA was performed. There were six 25S rDNA loci, which were located on the satellites of the third, the fifth and the sixth chromosomes, four 5S rDNA loci, which were located on the long arms of the third and the fifth chromosomes. The telomere loci were located on the end of the sixth chromosome and also on both the end and centromeric regions of other chromosomes. This study is an important complement to both traditional karyotype analysis and FISH karyotype analysis in spinach.
