Abstract
Chromosome karyotyping analysis is particularly useful in determining species relationships and the origin of polyploid species. Identification of individual chromosomes is the foundation for karyotype development. For Fragaria (strawberry) species, definitive identification of the individual chromosomes is extremely difficult because of their small size and similar shape. Here, we identified all chromosomes for 11 representative Fragaria species with different ploidy using a set of oligonucleotide-based probes developed in Fragaria vesca. Comprehensive molecular cytogenetic karyotypes were established based on the individually identified chromosomes. In addition, we used oligo probes to assign the 5S and 45S rDNA loci to specific chromosomes in 16 Fragaria species. We found that these Fragaria species maintained a remarkably conserved karyotype. No inter-chromosomal structural rearrangements at the cytological level were observed in any of the chromosomes among these species. Despite karyotypic stability and similarity, variations in the signal intensity of oligo probes were observed among the homologous chromosomes in several polyploid species. Moreover, most Fragaria species also showed differences in the distribution patterns of 45S and 5S rDNA. These data provide new insights into the origins of several polyploid Fragaria species.
