Abstract excerpt
The 35S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic spacer (IGS) of Allium cernuum is examined. Initial sequencing of IGS clones revealed that some rDNA units contain a truncated retrotransposon sequence most similar to members of the Copia superfamily. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) to metaphase chromosomes indicates that this element is dispersed along both pairs of major rDNA arrays. Southern hybridisation...
