Abstract
A fluorescencein situ hybridization (FISH) procedure was adopted to physically map a RFLP marker, umc119 near the centromere of the long arm of linkage group1 in maize. The hm1 gene (Helminthosporium carbonum susceptibility gene) was linked closely with the marker umc119. RFLP markers are very good landmarks for mapping genes. Therefore, we also determined the position of the gene hm1 on the chromosome based on the physical location of umc119. The disease induced by infection ofHelminthosporium carbonum is one of the serious maize diseases and it distributes in many countries including China. Hybridization sites were showed on 1 L (long arm of chromosome1) and 5 L. The percentage distance from centromere to the hybridization site was 22.86 on 1 L and 58.23 on 5 L the detection rate was about 12% for mitotic cells. In interphase nuclei five hybridized sites were detected. It demonstrated that umc119 was multiplicated sequences. FISH has more advantages overin situ hybridization (ISH) detected by DAB for increasing the detection ratio and contrast between chromosomes and hybridization signals. The ability to detect the hybridization signal of a small low copy DNA sequence is a very important key towards wide application of FISH for plant genome mapping.
