Physical Location of the Rice Pi-5(t), Glh and RTSV Genes by ISH of BAC Clones

Mapplng of low of slngle-copy sequences on plant chromosomes has proven dirricult because ofvery low frequency or slgnal detectlon. Rlce BAC Ilbrary ls belng used wldely ln rlce genome research due tolts distlnctlve advantages over other llbrary systems. In tkls study, two blotln-Iabeled rice BAC clones closelylinked to a rlce blast reslstance, green Ieaf hopper reslstance and tungro spherlcal virus resistance gene,Pi-5(t),Glh, RTSV, were in situ hybrldlred to rlce ckromosomes. They were located on the long arm andshort arm of ckromosome 4 with FL value of 40% and 100% respectively-The rrequency of signal detectionreacked 46. 8% and 59- 2%- The slgnal location were conslstent wltk the selectlve marker on rice saturatedm0Iecular map. The results demonstrated the advautages to Iocate BAC cIones to ckromosomes by in sho hybrldization and will racilitate tke rlce low of slngle-copy gene Iocation by using the BAC library.
