Crynodeb
Background: A modification of a standard method of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) is
described, by which a combination of several substrates and probes on single microscope slides
enables more accurate comparisons of the distribution and abundance of chromosomal sequences
and improves the relatively low throughput of standard FISH methods.
Results: The utility and application of multi-colour, multi-substrate FISH is illustrated by the
simultaneous physical mapping of retrotransposon sequences to three species of Avena, and single
locus BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) clones and rDNA probes to three species of
Brachypodium, demonstrating how this would enable better understanding of complex phylogenetic
relationships among some of the species belonging to these two genera.
Conclusion: The results show that use of multi-substrate chromosome preparations significantly
increases the utility of FISH in comparative analyses of the distribution and abundance of
chromosomal sequences in closely related plant species.
