Abstract
Oligonucleotide primers were developed to detect the presence of four rye sequences using a PCR assay These assays give a rye-specific signal from wheat DNA template which contains various rye chromosomes or chromosome segments The sequences identified were associated with the nucleolar organiser region, the 5S-Rrna-R1 locus, the telomere, and a widely dispersed, rye-specific repetitive element Ris-1 The primers amplified from the well-established loci Nor-R1 and 5S-Rrna-R1 on rye chromosome arm 1RS, and also located a 5s-Rrna locus on chromosome 3R The telomere-associated sequence was present on every rye chromosome, and was also present, at a low copy number, in both wheat and barley These assays will be particularly useful for introgression programmes aimed at reducing the rye content of the 1BL.1RS wheat-rye translocation. When multiplexed, the primers will enable a rapid, simultaneous assay for a number of distinct rye loci, which can be derived from a small portion of mature endosperm tissue.
