Abstract

Chromosome ends (telomeres) in potato (Solanum tuberosum) are formed by tandem repeats of the oligonucleotide sequence [TTTAGGG]n. It has been known that the total length of blocks of telomeric DNA varies among plant species and their varieties, and also among individual chromosome arms of the same nucleus. To detect such differences in selected potato varieties which could be of possible use in their identification, we performed an analysis of terminal restriction fragments using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).
