Abstract

The chromosomal sites of 5S rDNA, 45S rDNA and Arabidopsis-iypt telomere sequence repeats characterize individual species and population constitutions in chrysanthemums and cycads and those of Sau3A in spruces. The sites of the telomere sequence repeats in the cycad chromosomes occur not only in the usual terminal regions of chromosome-arms as small dots, but also in several centromeric to proximal regions as relatively large signals. Large signals of the 278 bp DNA segment with respect to Cycas revoluta involved with pCrT7-4. The Y-chromosome of Cycas revoluta was distinct by lack of the large signal of pCrT7-4 and the Arabidopsis-type telomere sequence repeats. A highly conserved chromosomal location of these genes lead to speculation on the karyotype evolution and species property of the chrysanthemum and cycad groups.
