title: [Genome structure in higher plants. Reassociation kinetics of DNA from Vicia faba and Vicia sativa].
abstract: The work been concerned with a study of the kinetics of reassociation of total DNA and that of the fraction of unique sequences in plants from the Vicia family, i. e. Vicia faba and Vicia sativa. The size of the genome was determined by the kinetics of reassociation of the DNA of the fraction of unique sequences and the amount of DNA per nucleus was determined cytophotometrically. It has been shown that the size of the genome expressed in C(0)t units and the size expressed in gramms are not the same which testifies to the absence of true unique genes in the genome of the species studied. The analysis of the possible methodical errors was carried out. On the basis of the data obtained a suggestion was made of a model of chromosomes organization including 12 units of polynemization for Vicia faba and 4 units for Vicia sativa.
