title: Development of Q-chromosome-specific DNA markers in tobacco and their use for identification of a tobacco monosomic line.
abstract: We developed seven Q-chromosome-specific DNA markers in Nicotiana tabacum by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis using two hybrid lines, and we were able to identify tobacco monosomic plants among F1 progeny derived from the cross N. tabacum Haplo-QxN. tabacum cv. Samsun NN using Q-chromosome-specific DNA markers. Based on the results, we discuss the roles of the Q chromosome in embryo sac development and embryogenesis. Here, we propose a new method for identifying DNA markers for a particular chromosome in the genus Nicotiana.
