[Microdissection of M chromosome in Vicia faba and its library construction].
Microdissection and microcloning technique was employed to construct the library of M chromosome in Vicia faba. The M chromosomes were microdissected with a micromanipulator and were put into a 0.5 ml Eppendorf tube, then digested with Sau3A. Sau3A linker adaptors were ligated to the end of chromosome DNA fragments, and two rounds of PCR were carried out with one chain of linker adaptor as the primer. The PCR products ranged in size from 300 base pair (bp) to 3000 bp with predominant fragments from 500 bp to 1500 bp. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed that PCR products originated from Vicia faba genome. The second round PCR products were cloned and about 102,000 recombinants were obtained. 118 recombinants were selected randomly for analysis. The inserts ranged in size from 150 bp to 3000 bp with an average of 690 bp. Dot blot was carried out for 100 clones with DIG labeled Vicia faba genome DNA as probes. The result revealed that 51% were low and unique copy sequences, 49% were repetitive sequences. M chromosome DNA library has not been reported before.
