We studied the rDNA spacer length polymorphism in a sample of 121 individuals belonging to families of 2-3 generations. Our data, obtained by restriction pattern analysis of genomic DNA, confirmed the limited and discrete nature of this polymorphism. Using the pattern as a genetic marker, we analyze

In D. melanogaster, many ribosomal genes contain an intervening sequence that interrupts the 28S rRNA gene. In wild-type flies, type I and type II insertions are rarely transcribed and the transcripts of the interrupted genetic units do not contribute significantly to the production of mature riboso
D. melanogaster males of XYbb/O genetic constitution undergoing rDNA magnification were mated singly to XXbb+/O females, yielding XYbb/O male progeny, and to XNO- w sn bb+ females, yielding XYbb/XNO- females. The male and female offspring were scored for the bb+ phenotype. Results show that there is
The large intergenic spacer (IGS) of potato rDNA was sequenced and compared to the IGS sequence of tomato. Both spacers exhibit similar length and architecture. Absence of repeated elements downstream of the putative transcription initiation site (TIS) in potato is compensated by the larger number o
