Analysis of nucleotide sequence polymorphism of internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal genes in diploid Aegilops (L.) species

The nucleotide sequence of the fragment of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of rDNA comprising the full-length ITS1, the gene encoding 5.8S rRNA, and part of the ITS2 sequence was determined in 22 samples of five diploid Aegilops species. The full alignment length of compared sequences was 524...

Description
Summary:The nucleotide sequence of the fragment of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of rDNA comprising the full-length ITS1, the gene encoding 5.8S rRNA, and part of the ITS2 sequence was determined in 22 samples of five diploid Aegilops species. The full alignment length of compared sequences was 524 bp. Species-specific substitutions were found in the ITS nucleotide sequence of rDNA of different Aegilops species. Intraspecific differences in ITS structure in diploid Aegilops species were detected for the first time. Polymorphism of the ITS nucleotide sequence within the same sample was revealed, which might be due either to differences between the genomes of individual plants comprising the sample or to the presence of several types of ribosomal genes in the genome of one plant. In general, both interspecific and intraspecific variability of the ITS nucleotide sequences of rDNA is extremely low. In total, 26 variable sites, twelve of which were informative, were identified.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
