We obtained DNA clones specific to tomato chromosome 2 from a small number of chromosomes collected by flow sorting. Suspensions of metaphase chromosomes were prepared from 3-month-old tomato cell cultures of Lycopersicon pennellii. Isolated chromosomes stained with chromomycin A3 and Hoechst 33258 were analyzed on an EPICS 753 flow cytometer using a UV laser to excite Hoechst fluorescence and a 458 nm laser to excite chromomycin A3 fluorescence. Chromosomes from well-resolved peaks on a bivariate flow karyotype were sorted directly onto membrane filters for spot-blot analysis. The filters were processed and hybridized with chromosome-specific repetitive DNA probes. In this way tomato chromosome 1 and chromosome 2 were assigned to peaks in the bivariate flow karyotypes. One thousand copies of the putative chromosome 2 were flow-sorted directly into microfuge tubes. DNA specific to chromosome 2 was amplified by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique using universal 22mer degenerate oligonucleotide primers (DOP) sequences. DOP-PCR yields a smear of fragments of various sizes from 250 to 1600 bp. Amplified products were cloned into the Bluescript plasmid vector. Approximately 11% of the clones contained sequences with highly repetitive elements, and 85% contained only low-copy-number sequences. Eleven clones containing low-copy-number sequences that detect restriction fragment length polymorphisms were placed on the molecular linkage map of tomato. All showed linkage to chromosome 2.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.
