Abstract
In situ digestion of barley chromosomes with restriction endonucleases was examined. All the treatments with five restriction endonucleases, MboII, RsaI, HaeIII, HinfI, and DraII, showed various band patterns on the barley chromosomes. Differences were observed in the band patterns produced with different restriction endonucleases. Uneven staining patterns, similar to the band patterns by the endonuclease treatments, also appeared when the chromosomes were treated with the buffer solution without the enzyme. The band patterns observed both with and without the endonucleases were classified into the four types and the frequency of each type among the different treatments was investigated. The change of the band types along with treatment time was accelerated by the addition of the restriction endonuclease. As a result, it was concluded that there existed chromosome band patterns that were specific to the endonuclease treatments and that the buffer solution also affected to the production of the bands on the chromosomes.Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., chromosome band pattern, in situ digestion, restriction endonuclease, restriction banding.
