| Popis: | Alu# sequences constitute the most abundant family of short interspersed nuclear elements, SINEs, in the primate genome. The #Alu#-PCR method, which consists of amplification between "Alu# sequences, is usually applied in human genetics to provide polymorphic markers. Here we report the presence of #Alu#-like sequences in sugarcane and related species by applying the #Alu#-PCR-like method. Amplifications using a PCR primer defined in conserved regions of #Alu# human sequences lead to specific complex multiband profiles in all the #Saccharum# and related genera clones surveyed. The isolation and characterisation of the amplified genus-specific inter-#Alu#-like fragments allowed us to isolate repeated sequences that are specific for different genera of the #Saccharum# complex: MsCIR2 from #Miscanthus#, EaCIR6 and EaCIR7 from #Erianthus#, and SrCIR2 from #Saccharum#. Two PCR diagnostic tests were developed from the inter-#Alu#-like sequences MsCIR2 and EaCIR6, and proved efficient in identifying intergeneric hybrids #Saccharum# x #Miscanthus# or #Saccharum# x #Erianthus#, respectively. The present study illustrates how the #Alu#-PCR-like method could help investigating the origin of amphiploid species and monitoring introgression in plants. (Author's abstract) |
