Abstract

An analysis of four species from the genus Secale, including the study of different accessions, has shown that the properties of DNA clones of monomer units from three repeated sequence loci, namely, Ter, Nor, and 5S DNA, proved to be representative of the entire loci from which they were isolated. This finding in Secale species, including the discovery of a new locus for 5S DNA on chromosome 5R, has been used to interpret information on the Ter, Nor, and 5S DNA loci from 15 species in the Triticeae complex. The evolutionary relationship among species suggested by the DNA sequence data has shown many consistencies with a number of other characters such as those used in classical systematics, as well as geographical distribution data and isozyme and chromosome-pairing studies. Apparent inconsistencies such as a close relationship between the R and P genomes at the Ter loci are interpreted in terms of amplification–deletion phenomena known to occur at repetitive sequence loci. In addition, this study included species endemic to Australia and thus provided a broad time span in which to consider some features of repeated sequence family evolution, such as the conservation of certain parts of 5S DNA spacer regions.Key words: Secale, Triticeae, molecular–cytogenetic analysis.
