- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Ornamental hortensias are bred from a reservoir of over 200 species in the genus Hydrangea s.l. (Hydrangeaceae), and are valued in gardens, households and landscapes across the globe. The phenotypic diversity of hortensia cultivars, hybrids and wild relatives is mirrored by their genomic variation, with differences in genome size, base chromosome numbers and ploidy level. We aim to understand the genomic and chromosomal basis of hortensia genome variation. Therefore, we analysed six hortensias with different origins and chromosomal setups for repeatome divergence, the genome fraction with the highest sequence turnover. This holds information from the hortensias' evolutionary paths and can guide breeding initiatives. METHODS: We compiled a hortensia genotype panel representing members of the sections Macrophyllae, Hydrangea, Asperae and Heteromallae and reconstructed a plastome-based phylogenetic hypothesis as the evolutionary basis for all our analyses. We comprehensively characterized the repeatomes by whole-genome sequencing and comparative repeat clustering. Major tandem repeats were localized by multicolour FISH. KEY RESULTS: The Hydrangea species show differing repeat profiles reflecting their separation into the two major Hydrangea clades: diploid Hydrangea species from Japan show a conserved repeat profile, distinguishing them from Japanese polyploids as well as Chinese and American hortensias. These results are in line with plastome-based phylogenies. The presence of specific repeats indicates that H. paniculata was not polyploidized directly from the common ancestor of Japanese Hydrangea species, but evolved from a distinct progenitor. Major satellite DNAs were detected over all H. macrophylla chromosomes. CONCLUSIONS: Repeat composition among the Hydrangea species varies in congruence with their origins and phylogeny. Identified species-specific satDNAs may be used as cytogenetic markers to identify Hydrangea species and cultivars, and to infer parental species of old Hydrangea varieties. This repeatome and cytogenetics information helps to expand the genetic toolbox for tracing hortensia evolution and guiding future hortensia breeding.Corresponding, Feb. 2025, Annals of botany, 135(3) (3), 549 - 564, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Abstract Background and Aims Urbanization-induced environmental changes affect the geographical distribution of natural plant species. This study focused on how polyploidization, a dynamic genome change, influences the survival and distribution of Commelina communis (Cc) and its subspecies C. communis f. ciliata (Ccfc), which have variable chromosome numbers (e.g. Cc, 2n = 88 for Cc; Ccfc, 2n = 46 for Ccfc). The aim was to investigate polyploidization effects on natural plant distribution in urban environments. Methods The geographical distribution across urban–rural gradients was investigated at a total of 218 sites in Japan. Stomata size and density were measured and compared between Cc and Ccfc. Flow cytometry determined genome size and polyploidy. Chromosome karyotyping was performed using the genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) method. Key Results Urban areas were exclusively dominated by Cc, while Cc and Ccfc coexisted in rural areas. Cc had larger and fewer stomata and a genome size more than twice that of Ccfc. GISH results indicated that Cc possesses Ccfc and another unknown genome, suggesting allopolyploidy. Conclusions Our results show that the ploidy difference affects the geographical distribution, stomata traits and genome size between two distinct taxa in the genus Commelina, C. communis as a neo-tetraploid and C. communis f. ciliata, the diploid. Cc is an allopolyploid and is therefore not only polyploidy but also has an additional genome that provides new sets of genes and alleles, contributing to Cc having enhanced survival potentials in urban environments compared with Ccfc. This is the first investigation to clarify the distribution difference related to urban environments, the difference in stomata traits and genome size, and to study chromosome composition in Commelina species.Corresponding, Oxford University Press (OUP), Aug. 2024, Annals of Botany[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Topoisomerase II (TopoII) is an essential structural protein of the metaphase chromosome. It maintains the axial compaction of chromosomes during metaphase. It is localized at the axial region of chromosomes and accumulates at the centromeric region in metaphase chromosomes. However, little is known about TopoII localization and distribution in plant chromosomes, except for several publications. We used high voltage transmission electron microscopy (HVTEM) and ultra-high voltage transmission electron microscopy (UHVTEM) in conjunction with immunogold labeling and visualization techniques to detect TopoII and investigate its localization, alignment, and density on the barley chromosome at 1.4 nm scale. We found that HVTEM and UHVTEM combined with immunogold labeling is suitable for the detection of structural proteins, including a single molecule of TopoII. This is because the average size of the gold particles for TopoII visualization after silver enhancement is 8.9 ± 3.9 nm, which is well detected. We found that 31,005 TopoII molecules are distributed along the barley chromosomes in an unspecific pattern at the chromosome arms and accumulate specifically at the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) and centromeric region. The TopoII density were 1.32-fold, 1.58-fold, and 1.36-fold at the terminal region, at the NORs, and the centromeric region, respectively. The findings of TopoII localization in this study support the multiple reported functions of TopoII in the barley metaphase chromosome.Corresponding, Apr. 2024, Micron (Oxford, England : 1993), 179, 103596 - 103596, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Abstract Urban development greatly alters the natural and semi‐natural habitats of native plants. Urbanisation results in a range of diverse habitats including remnant agricultural lands, urban parks, and roadside habitats. This habitat diversity often promotes trait divergence within urban areas. However, the mechanisms by which diverse urban habitats influence the population genetic structure of individual plant species remain poorly understood. We investigated the effects of urbanisation on genetic diversity and structure within 24 Commelina communis populations across diverse habitat types (rural agricultural land, urban agricultural land, urban park land, and urban roadsides) within the Kyoto–Osaka–Kobe megacity in Japan. We conducted multiplexed inter‐simple sequence repeat genotyping to compare genetic diversity among populations in different habitats. We also examined the correlation between Nei's genetic distance and geographic and environmental distances and performed principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) to evaluate genetic differentiation among urban habitats. There were no significant differences in genetic diversity indices between urban and rural populations and among urban habitat types. Although we detected no isolation‐by‐distance structure in population pairs of the same habitat type and in those of different habitats, the difference in surrounding landscape facilitated genetic differentiation not only between urban and rural habitats but also between different urban habitats. PCoA revealed no clear genetic differentiation among rural and urban habitat populations. Our findings indicate that the establishment of diverse habitat types through urbanisation has no and little impact on genetic diversity and structure, respectively, in C. communis, likely due to its high selfing rate and ability to adapt to urban conditions.Wiley, Feb. 2024, Ecology and Evolution, 14(2) (2)[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Javaen barb fish Systomus orphoides Valenciennes, 1842 (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) is a freshwater fish whose population is declining and threatened with extinction. In this study, the ultrastructure of spermatozoa of Javaen barb fish (S. orphoides) was studied using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The spermatozoa of S. orphoides are relatively simple cells composed of a spherical head, a short midpiece, and a flagellum, as in most Cyprinidae. The ultrastructure is characterized by the absence of acrosome, the total length of spermatozoa is 27.16 ± 4.5 μm, and the head has spherical with a length of 1.84 ± 0.10 μm and width of 1.55 ± 0.15 μm containing a nucleus, midpiece region containing the proximal and distal centrioles and mitochondria. Two or three mitochondria surrounding the axoneme (with a 9 + 2 microtubular pattern). Ultrastructural analyses by SEM and TEM of Javaen barb fish spermatozoa cells are very consistent with those of Cyprinidae. This study provides the ultrastructure information of S. orphoides spermatozoa in the Cyprinidae family this research could be useful in increasing reproductive efficiency and further prevent the extinction of this species.Nov. 2023, Microscopy research and technique, 86(11) (11), 1411 - 1415, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The human genome is spatially and temporally organized in the nucleus as chromatin, and the dynamic structure of chromatin is closely related to genome functions. Cellular senescence characterized by an irreversible arrest of proliferation is accompanied by chromatin reorganisation in the nucleus during senescence. However, chromatin dynamics in chromatin reorganisation is poorly understood. Here, we report chromatin dynamics at the centromere region during senescence in cultured human cell lines using live imaging based on the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/dCas9 system. The repetitive sequence at the centromere region, alpha-satellite DNA, was predominantly detected on chromosomes 1, 12, and 19. Centromeric chromatin formed irregular-shaped domains with high fluctuation in cells undergoing 5'-aza-2'-deoxycytidine-induced senescence. Our findings suggest that the increased fluctuation of the chromatin structure facilitates centromere disorganisation during cellular senescence.Sep. 2023, Scientific reports, 13(1) (1), 14609 - 14609, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Recent evidence has demonstrated that specific epigenetic changes are also related to plant growth and development. Immunostaining enables the detection and characterization of chromatin modification, e.g., histone H4 acetylation (H4K5ac), histone H3 methylation (H3K4me2 and H3K9me2), and DNA methylation (5mC) with unique and specific patterns in plant tissues. Here we describe experimental procedures to determine the histone H3 methylation (H3K4me2 and H3K9me2) patterns in 3D-chromatin in whole roots tissue and 2D-chromatin in single nuclei in rice. To analyze both iron and salinity treatments, we show how to test for changes to the epigenetic chromatin landscape using heterochromatin (H3K9me2) and euchromatin (H3K4me) markers for chromatin immunostaining, especially in the proximal meristem region. To elucidate the epigenetic impact of environmental stress and external plant growth regulators, we demonstrate how to apply a combination of salinity, auxin, and abscisic acid treatments. The results of these experiments provide insights into the epigenetic landscape during rice root growth and development.2023, Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2672, 233 - 244, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- In vivo monitoring of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed germination and seedling growth under general conditions in closed Petri dishes containing agar base medium at room temperature (temperature = 24.5 ± 1 °C, relative humidity = 76 ± 7% (average ± standard deviation)), and induced degenerated callus formation with plant growth regulator, were performed using short-wavelength near-infrared spectroscopy and aquaphotomics over A period of 26 days. The results of spectral analysis suggest changes in water absorbances due to the production of common metabolites, as well as increases in biomass and the sizes of the samples. Quantitative models built to predict the day of the development provided better accuracy for rice seedlings growth compared to callus formation. Eight common water bands were identified as presenting prominent changes in the absorbance pattern. The water matrix of only rice seedlings showed three developmental stages: firstly expressing a predominantly weakly hydrogen-bonded state, then a more strongly hydrogen-bonded state, and then, again, a weakly hydrogen-bonded state at the end. In rice callus induction and proliferation, no similar change in water absorbance pattern was observed. The presented findings indicate the potential of aquaphotomics for the in vivo detection of degeneration in cell development.Sep. 2021, Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 10(9) (9), English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Cations, especially calcium ions (Ca2+), is one of the major factors responsible for the chromosome higher-order structure formation. The effects of cations on the human chromosomes have already been evaluated, however, whether the presence of similar effects on plant chromosomes has not been reported to date. Thus, in this study, we investigated the role of Ca2+ on the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) chromosome structure. Barley chromosomes were isolated from the meristematic tissue within the germinated roots. The roots were subjected to enzymatic treatment, fixed, and drop on the cover glass to spread the chromosomes out. Some chromosomes were treated with BAPTA (1,2-Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid) to chelate Ca2+. Chromosome samples were then observed by fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The disperse structure of the chromosome was observed after BAPTA treatment. Chromosomes showed less condensed structure due to Ca2+ chelation. The high-resolution of SEM provided a more detailed visualization of chromosome ultrastructure under different calcium ion conditions. This study revealed the calcium ion effect on chromosome structure is important regardless of the organisms, suggesting a similar mechanism of chromosome condensation through humans and plants.Jun. 2021, Micron (Oxford, England : 1993), 145, 103046 - 103046, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Methylation systems have been conserved during the divergence of plants and animals, although they are regulated by different pathways and enzymes. However, studies on the interactions of the epigenomes among evolutionarily distant organisms are lacking. To address this, we studied the epigenetic modification and gene expression of plant chromosome fragments (~30 Mb) in a human-Arabidopsis hybrid cell line. The whole-genome bisulfite sequencing results demonstrated that recombinant Arabidopsis DNA could retain its plant CG methylation levels even without functional plant methyltransferases, indicating that plant DNA methylation states can be maintained even in a different genomic background. The differential methylation analysis showed that the Arabidopsis DNA was undermethylated in the centromeric region and repetitive elements. Several Arabidopsis genes were still expressed, whereas the expression patterns were not related to the gene function. We concluded that the plant DNA did not maintain the original plant epigenomic landscapes and was under the control of the human genome. This study showed how two diverging genomes can coexist and provided insights into epigenetic modifications and their impact on the regulation of gene expressions between plant and animal genomes.Corresponding, May 2021, International journal of molecular sciences, 22(11) (11), English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Although plants and animals are evolutionarily distant, the structure and function of their chromosomes are largely conserved. This allowed the establishment of a human-Arabidopsis hybrid cell line in which a neo-chromosome was formed by insertion of segments of Arabidopsis chromosomes into human chromosome 15. We used this unique system to investigate how the introgressed part of a plant genome was maintained in human genetic background. The analysis of the neo-chromosome in 60- and 300-day-old cell cultures by next-generation sequencing and molecular cytogenetics suggested its origin by fusion of DNA fragments of different sizes from Arabidopsis chromosomes 2, 3, 4, and 5, which were randomly intermingled rather than joined end-to-end. The neo-chromosome harbored Arabidopsis centromeric repeats and terminal human telomeres. Arabidopsis centromere wasn't found to be functional. Most of the introgressed Arabidopsis DNA was eliminated during the culture, and the Arabidopsis genome in 300-day-old culture showed significant variation in copy number as compared with the copy number variation in the 60-day-old culture. Amplified Arabidopsis centromere DNA and satellite repeats were localized at particular loci and some fragments were inserted into various positions of human chromosome. Neo-chromosome reorganization and behavior in somatic cell hybrids between the plant and animal kingdoms are discussed.Corresponding, Mar. 2021, Scientific reports, 11(1) (1), 7160 - 7160, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The chromosome compaction of chromatin fibers results in the formation of the nucleosome, which consists of a DNA unit coiled around a core of histone molecules associated with linker histone. The compaction of chromatin fibers has been a topic of controversy since the discovery of chromosomes in the 19th century. Although chromatin fibers were first identified using electron microscopy, the chromatin fibers on the surface of chromosome structures in plants remain unclear due to shrinking and breaking caused by prior chromosome isolation or preparation with alcohol and acid fixation, and critical point drying occurred into dehydration and denatured chromosomal proteins. This study aimed to develop a high-quality procedure for the isolation and preparation of plant chromosomes, maintaining the native chromosome structure, to elucidate the organization of chromatin fibers on the surface of plant chromosomes by electron microscopy. A simple technique to isolate intact barley (Hordeum vulgare) chromosomes with a high yield was developed, allowing chromosomes to be observed with a high-resolution scanning ion microscopy and helium ion microscopy (HIM) imaging technology, based on a scanning helium ion beam. HIM images from the surface chromatin fibers were analyzed to determine the size and alignment of the chromatin fibers. The unit size of the chromatin fibers was 11.6 ± 3.5 nm and was closely aligned to the chromatin network model. Our findings indicate that compacting the surface structure of barley via a chromatin network and observation via HIM are powerful tools for investigating the structure of chromatin.Corresponding, Mar. 2021, Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 29(1) (1), 81 - 94, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- It is well known that two DNA molecules are wrapped around histone octamers and folded together to form a single chromosome. However, the nucleosome fiber folding within a chromosome remains an enigma, and the higher-order structure of chromosomes also is not understood. In this study, we employed electron diffraction which provides a noninvasive analysis to characterize the internal structure of chromosomes. The results revealed the presence of structures with 100–200 nm periodic features directionally perpendicular to the chromosome axis in unlabeled isolated human chromosomes. We also visualized the 100–200 nm periodic features perpendicular to the chromosome axis in an isolated chromosome whose DNA molecules were specifically labeled with OsO4 using electron tomography in 300 keV and 1 MeV transmission electron microscopes.Feb. 2021, Microscopy and microanalysis : the official journal of Microscopy Society of America, Microbeam Analysis Society, Microscopical Society of Canada, 27(1) (1), 149 - 155, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Divalent cations, mainly calcium and magnesium ions, are known to play a major role in the maintenance of chromosomes. The depletion of both ions using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) results in a bent chromosome structure with extended arms and dispersed chromatin fibers. The importance of divalent cations for the maintenance of chromosome structure has been reported previously; nevertheless, previous studies were limited to qualitative data only. Straightening the bent image of the chromosome would provide quantitative data. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of cation depletion by the application of the Chromosome Image Analyzing System (CHIAS) to straighten bent chromosomes. Human HeLa chromosomes were treated with EDTA as a known chelating agent in order to investigate the importance of divalent cations on the maintenance of chromosome structure. Chromosomes were stained and directly observed with a fluorescence microscope. Images were then analyzed using CHIAS. The results revealed that EDTA-treated chromosomes showed longer arms than those without EDTA treatment, and most of them tended to bend-out. By straightening the image using CHIAS, the bent chromosomes were successfully straightened. The average lengths of the chromosomes treated with and without EDTA were 4.97 and 0.96 μm, respectively. These results signify the advantages of CHIAS for chromosome analysis and highlight the fundamental effects of cations on chromosome condensation.Nov. 2020, Microscopy research and technique, 83(11) (11), 1411 - 1416, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The Oryza officinalis complex is the largest species group in Oryza, with more than nine species from four continents, and is a tertiary gene pool that can be exploited in breeding programs for the improvement of cultivated rice. Most diploid and tetraploid members of this group have a C genome. Using a new reference C genome for the diploid species O. officinalis, and draft genomes for two other C genome diploid species Oryza eichingeri and Oryza rhizomatis, we examine the influence of transposable elements on genome structure and provide a detailed phylogeny and evolutionary history of the Oryza C genomes. The O. officinalis genome is 1.6 times larger than the A genome of cultivated Oryza sativa, mostly due to proliferation of Gypsy type long-terminal repeat transposable elements, but overall syntenic relationships are maintained with other Oryza genomes (A, B, and F). Draft genome assemblies of the two other C genome diploid species, Oryza eichingeri and Oryza rhizomatis, and short-read resequencing of a series of other C genome species and accessions reveal that after the divergence of the C genome progenitor, there was still a substantial degree of variation within the C genome species through proliferation and loss of both DNA and long-terminal repeat transposable elements. We provide a detailed phylogeny and evolutionary history of the Oryza C genomes and a genomic resource for the exploitation of the Oryza tertiary gene pool.Apr. 2020, Genome biology and evolution, 12(4) (4), 413 - 428, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Abiotic stresses are non-living factors with negative morphological and physiological effects on living organisms. Substantial evidence exists that gene expression changes during plant cell growth are regulated by chromatin reconfiguration and histone modification. Several types of histone modifications are dramatically transformed in stress-responsive gene regions under drought stress conditions. Environmental stresses also cause the root apical meristem (RAM) region to decelerate root growth. In this study, we investigated how quantitative changes in epigenetic markers in this region influence rice morphology and physiology. Both iron and salinity treatments changed the epigenetic landscape from euchromatic to heterochromatic according to heterochromatin (H3K9me2) and euchromatin (H3K4me) markers, especially in the proximal meristem region. Moreover, supplementation with external abscisic acid (ABA) was able to mimic the effect of environmental stresses on global epigenetic changes. In contrast, the addition of external auxin (IAA) to rice under saline conditions affected heterochromatin formation without influencing euchromatin transformation. Chromatin dynamics is therefore believed to be directly connected to plant growth regulator signaling. We discuss insights into the role of plant growth regulators: ABA and IAA, peroxide signaling, and their effects on the global epigenetic change of histone modification under abiotic stresses.Corresponding, Dec. 2019, Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 27(4) (4), 287 - 298, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The chromosome scaffold is considered to be a key structure of the mitotic chromosome. It plays a vital role in chromosome condensation, shaping the X-shaped structure of the mitotic chromosome, and also provides flexibility for chromosome movement during cell division. However, it remains to be elucidated how the chromosome scaffold organizes the mitotic chromosome and how it supports shaping the structure of the chromosome during metaphase. Here we present a new technique that enables the observation of the chromosome scaffold structure in metaphase chromosomes from any direction, by transferring an isolated chromosome to a 360° rotational holder for electron tomography (ET). The chromosome was stained with immunogold-labeled condensin complex, one of the major chromosome scaffold proteins and then observed in three dimensions using ET. Using the locations of gold nanoparticles to visualize the underlying structure, the tomograms we obtained reveal the patterns of chromosome scaffold organization, which appears to consist of a helical structure that serves to organize chromatin loops into the metaphase chromosome.Nov. 2019, Micron (Oxford, England : 1993), 126, 102736 - 102736, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- In sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid) breeding, introgression of useful genes via intergeneric hybridization is a powerful strategy for improving the crop productivity. Erianthus arundinaceus shows great potential in terms of useful traits; however, little is known about the cytogenetic and agronomic characteristics of intergeneric hybrids between these two species. Here, we examine the cytogenetic and agronomic characteristics, and relationships between the two in intergeneric F1 hybrids between modern sugarcane cultivar and E. arundinaceus identified by amplification of 5S rDNA markers and morphological characteristics. The nuclear DNA content of the hybrids varied from 6.07 to 8.94 pg/2C, with intra-clonal variation in DNA content and 5S rDNA sites. Genomic in situ hybridization revealed 53 to 82 chromosomes in the hybrids, with 53 to 56 derived from sugarcane and 1 to 29 from E. arundinaceus. There were significant positive correlations between the number of E. arundinaceus chromosomes and dry matter yield, millable stalk weight, single stalk weight, and stalk diameter, but not sucrose content, reducing sugar content, sucrose/reducing sugar ratio or fiber content. This detailed information on intergeneric F1 hybrids between modern sugarcane cultivar and E. arundinaceus will contribute to effective utilization of E. arundinaceus in sugarcane breeding.Springer Nature Publishing AG, Feb. 2019, Scientific reports, 9(1) (1), 1748 - 1748, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a dioecious plant with male heterogametic sex determination and homomorphic sex chromosomes (XY). The dioecism is utilized for producing commercial hybrid seeds, and hence understanding the molecular-genetic basis of the species' sex determining locus is an important issue for spinach breeding. In this study, seven dominant DNA markers were shown to completely co-segregate with the male-determining gene in segregating spinach populations comprising > 1500 plants. In addition, these seven dominant DNA markers were completely associated with the male-determining gene in over 100 spinach germplasm accessions and cultivars. These observations suggest that, in spinach, a Y-chromosomal region around the male-determining locus does not (or almost not) recombine with a counterpart region on the X chromosome. Using five of the seven DNA markers, five bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone contigs with a total length of approximately 690 kbp were constructed. Full sequencing of six representative BAC clones (total insert length 504 kbp) from the five contigs and a transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq revealed that the Y-chromosomal region around the male-determining locus contains large amounts of repetitive elements, suggesting that the region might be poor in gene content. Most of the repeats found in this region are novel Ty1-copia-like and its derivative elements that accumulate predominantly in heterochromatic regions. Our findings may provide valuable insight into spinach genome structure and clues for future research into the evolution of the sex determining locus.Springer, Apr. 2018, Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG, 293(2) (2), 557 - 568, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- A quantitative pachytene chromosome map of rice (Oryza sativa L.) was developed using imaging methods. The map depicts not only distribution patterns of chromomeres specific to pachytene chromosomes, but also the higher order information of chromosomal structures, such as heterochromatin (condensed regions), euchromatin (decondensed regions), the primary constrictions (centromeres), and the secondary constriction (nucleolar organizing regions, NOR). These features were image analyzed and quantitatively mapped onto the map by Chromosome Image Analyzing System ver. 4.0 (CHIAS IV). Correlation between H3K9me2, an epigenetic marker and formation and/or maintenance of heterochromatin, thus was, clearly visualized. Then the pachytene chromosome map was unified with the existing somatic chromosome and linkage maps by physically mapping common DNA markers among them, such as a rice A genome specific tandem repeat sequence (TrsA), 5S and 45S ribosomal RNA genes, five bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones, four P1 bacteriophage artificial chromosome (PAC) clones using multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Detailed comparison between the locations of the DNA probes on the pachytene chromosomes using multicolor FISH, and the linkage map enabled determination of the chromosome number and short/long arms of individual pachytene chromosomes using the chromosome number and arm assignment designated for the linkage map. As a result, the quantitative pachytene chromosome map was unified with two other major rice chromosome maps representing somatic prometaphase chromosomes and genetic linkages. In conclusion, the unification of the three rice maps serves as an indispensable basic information, not only for an in-depth comparison between genetic and chromosomal data, but also for practical breeding programs.PLOS, 2018, PloS one, 13(4) (4), e0195710, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Advances in cytology have led to the application of a wide range of visualization methods in plant genome studies. Image analysis methods are indispensable tools where morphology, density, and color play important roles in the biological systems. Visualization and image analysis methods are useful techniques in the analyses of the detailed structure and function of extended DNA fibers (EDFs) and interphase nuclei. The EDF is the highest in the spatial resolving power to reveal genome structure and it can be used for physical mapping, especially for closely located genes and tandemly repeated sequences. One the other hand, analyzing nuclear DNA and proteins would reveal nuclear structure and functions. In this chapter, we describe the image analysis protocol for quantitatively analyzing different types of plant genome, EDFs and interphase nuclei.2016, Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 1469, 171 - 80, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The dioecious genus Spinacia is thought to include two wild relatives (S. turkestanica Ilj. and S. tetrandra Stev.) of cultivated spinach (S. oleracea L.). In this study, nuclear and chloroplast sequences from 21 accessions of Spinacia germplasm and six spinach cultivars or lines were subjected to phylogenetic analysis to define the relationships among the three species. Maximum-likelihood sequence analysis suggested that the Spinacia plant samples could be classified into two monophyletic groups (Group 1 and Group 2): Group 1 consisted of all accessions, cultivars, and lines of S. oleracea L. and S. turkestanica Ilj. and two of five S. tetrandra Stev. accessions, whereas Group 2 was composed of the three remaining S. tetrandra Stev. accessions. By using flow cytometry, we detected a distinct difference in nuclear genome size between the groups. Group 2 also was characterized by a sexual dimorphism in inflorescence structure, which was not observed in Group 1. Interspecific crosses between the groups produced hybrids with drastically reduced pollen fertility and showed that the male is the heterogametic sex (XY) in Group 2, as is the case in S. oleracea L. (Group 1). Cytogenetic and DNA marker analyses suggested that Group 1 and Group 2 have homomorphic and heteromorphic sex chromosome pairs (XY), respectively, and that the sex chromosome pairs of the two groups evolved from a common ancestral pair. Our data suggest that the Spinacia genus may serve as a good model for investigation of evolutionary mechanisms underlying the emergence of heteromorphic sex chromosome pairs from ancestral homomorphic pairs.Jun. 2015, G3 (Bethesda, Md.), 5(8) (8), 1663 - 73, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Attempts to elucidate chromosome structure have long remained elusive. Electron microscopy is useful for chromosome structure research because of its high resolution and magnification. However, biological samples such as chromosomes need to be subjected to various preparation steps, including dehydration, drying, and metal/carbon coating, which may induce shrinkage and artifacts. The ionic liquid technique has recently been developed and it enables sample preparation without dehydration, drying, or coating, providing a sample that is closer to the native condition. Concurrently, focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) has been developed, allowing the investigation and direct analysis of chromosome interiors. In this study, we investigated chromosome interiors by FIB/SEM using plant and human chromosomes prepared by the ionic liquid technique. As a result, two types of chromosomes, with and without cavities, were visualized, both for barley and human chromosomes prepared by critical point drying. However, chromosome interiors were revealed only as a solid structure, lacking cavities, when prepared by the ionic liquid technique. Our results suggest that the existence and size of cavities depend on the preparation procedures. We conclude that combination of the ionic liquid technique and FIB/SEM is a powerful tool for chromosome study.Oct. 2014, Microscopy and microanalysis : the official journal of Microscopy Society of America, Microbeam Analysis Society, Microscopical Society of Canada, 20(5) (5), 1340 - 7, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Recently, Jatropha curcas L. has attracted worldwide attention for its potential as a source of biodiesel. However, most DNA markers have demonstrated high levels of genetic similarity among and within jatropha populations around the globe. Despite promising features of copia-type retrotransposons as ideal genetic tools for gene tagging, mutagenesis, and marker-assisted selection, they have not been characterized in the jatropha genome yet. Here, we examined the diversity, evolution, and genome-wide organization of copia-type retrotransposons in the Asian, African, and Mesoamerican accessions of jatropha, then introduced a retrotransposon-based marker for this biofuel crop. RESULTS: In total, 157 PCR fragments that were amplified using the degenerate primers for the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain of copia-type retroelements were sequenced and aligned to construct the neighbor-joining tree. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that isolated copia RT sequences were classified into ten families, which were then grouped into three lineages. An in-depth study of the jatropha genome for the RT sequences of each family led to the characterization of full consensus sequences of the jatropha copia-type families. Estimated copy numbers of target sequences were largely different among families, as was presence of genes within 5 kb flanking regions for each family. Five copia-type families were as appealing candidates for the development of DNA marker systems. A candidate marker from family Jc7 was particularly capable of detecting genetic variation among different jatropha accessions. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to metaphase chromosomes reveals that copia-type retrotransposons are scattered across chromosomes mainly located in the distal part regions. CONCLUSION: This is the first report on genome-wide analysis and the cytogenetic mapping of copia-type retrotransposons of jatropha, leading to the discovery of families bearing high potential as DNA markers. Distinct dynamics of individual copia-type families, feasibility of a retrotransposon-based insertion polymorphism marker system in examining genetic variability, and approaches for the development of breeding strategies in jatropha using copia-type retrotransposons are discussed.Sep. 2013, Biotechnology for biofuels, 6(1) (1), 129 - 129, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Vernalization, the promotion of flowering by cold, involves Polycomb-mediated epigenetic silencing of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Cold progressively promotes cell-autonomous switching to a silenced state. Here, we used live-cell imaging of FLC-lacO to monitor changes in nuclear organization during vernalization. FLC-lacO alleles physically cluster during the cold and generally remain so after plants are returned to warm. Clustering is dependent on the Polycomb trans-factors necessary for establishment of the FLC silenced state but not on LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1, which functions to maintain silencing. These data support the view that physical clustering may be a common feature of Polycomb-mediated epigenetic switching mechanisms.Sep. 2013, Genes & development, 27(17) (17), 1845 - 50, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The whole genome of Jatropha curcas was sequenced, using a combination of the conventional Sanger method and new-generation multiplex sequencing methods. Total length of the non-redundant sequences thus obtained was 285 858 490 bp consisting of 120 586 contigs and 29 831 singlets. They accounted for ~95% of the gene-containing regions with the average G + C content was 34.3%. A total of 40 929 complete and partial structures of protein encoding genes have been deduced. Comparison with genes of other plant species indicated that 1529 (4%) of the putative protein-encoding genes are specific to the Euphorbiaceae family. A high degree of microsynteny was observed with the genome of castor bean and, to a lesser extent, with those of soybean and Arabidopsis thaliana. In parallel with genome sequencing, cDNAs derived from leaf and callus tissues were subjected to pyrosequencing, and a total of 21 225 unigene data have been generated. Polymorphism analysis using microsatellite markers developed from the genomic sequence data obtained was performed with 12 J. curcas lines collected from various parts of the world to estimate their genetic diversity. The genomic sequence and accompanying information presented here are expected to serve as valuable resources for the acceleration of fundamental and applied research with J. curcas, especially in the fields of environment-related research such as biofuel production. Further information on the genomic sequences and DNA markers is available at http://www.kazusa.or.jp/jatropha/.Feb. 2011, DNA research : an international journal for rapid publication of reports on genes and genomes, 18(1) (1), 65 - 76, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- To construct a high-resolution pachytene chromosome map, we used the chromosome image analyzing system version 3 and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Two ribosomal RNA genes (45S rDNA and 5S rDNA), two major tandem repeat DNAs (LjTR1 and LjTR2), two major retroelements (LjRE1 and LjRE2), and 27 transformation-competent artificial chromosome clones were physically localized on Lotus japonicus (Miyakojima MG-20, 2n = 12) chromosomes. The distributions of heterochromatin and euchromatin along six chromosomes were compared based on the linkage map. Distortion between the recombination frequencies and physical chromosomal distance was recognized where the centromeric heterochromatic regions and constitutive heterochromatin are composed of the highest copy tandem repeat LjTR1 on the interstitial specific regions. Our study shows that the heterochromatin are composed of the specific repeated sequences, and the discrepancy between the recombination frequency and cytological information detected in L. japonicus chromosomes is due to the heterochromatin.Feb. 2010, Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 18(2) (2), 287 - 99, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Small plant chromosomes show uneven condensation during the prometaphase stage in mitosis. Recently, an improved chromosome image analyzing system (CHIAS IV) has been released for measurement of the condensation patterns (CPs) in fluorescence images. CHIAS IV is based on the multiplatform public-domain image-processing software, ImageJ, which was developed by the National Institutes of Health, US. In this study, we used CHIAS IV to perform image analysis of the fluorescence patterns of somatic prometaphase chromosomes of the leguminous plant, red clover (Trifolium pratense L., 2n = 2x = 14). We produced a quantitative chromosome map of red clover by combining the qualitative-analysis results obtained using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping with the results of the CHIAS IV image-analysis method, thereby clearly demonstrating the effectiveness and utility of this software as an analytical tool for genetic and genomic studies.THE SOCIETY OF CHROMOSOME RESEARCH, Jul. 2009, Chromosome Science, 12(3) (3), 43 - 50, English

- The legume Lotus japonicus has been widely used as a model system to investigate the genetic background of legume-specific phenomena such as symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Here, we report structural features of the L. japonicus genome. The 315.1-Mb sequences determined in this and previous studies correspond to 67% of the genome (472 Mb), and are likely to cover 91.3% of the gene space. Linkage mapping anchored 130-Mb sequences onto the six linkage groups. A total of 10,951 complete and 19,848 partial structures of protein-encoding genes were assigned to the genome. Comparative analysis of these genes revealed the expansion of several functional domains and gene families that are characteristic of L. japonicus. Synteny analysis detected traces of whole-genome duplication and the presence of synteny blocks with other plant genomes to various degrees. This study provides the first opportunity to look into the complex and unique genetic system of legumes.Aug. 2008, DNA research : an international journal for rapid publication of reports on genes and genomes, 15(4) (4), 227 - 39, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Anti-peptide antibodies for examining the conformation, molecular assembly and localization of an intracellular protein, ribosomal protein S6, in vivo.Ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6) is known to relate to cell proliferation. Our recent proteome analysis of human metaphase chromosomes revealed the enrichment of rpS6 during mitosis. Here, structure, localization and molecular assembly in vitro and in vivo of a human rpS6, were examined using antibodies (Abs) prepared by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptides. Five peptides, Ser6-Asp20 (S6-1), Ile52-Gly66 (S6-2), Asp103-Gly117 (S6-3), Asn146-Lys160 (S6-4) and Arg178-Ile192 (S6-5) were chosen as epitopes of human rpS6. These peptides except for S6-3 induced strong Ab production, and with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, anti-S6-2, anti-S6-4 and anti-S6-5, showed high reactivity to recombinant rpS6 (r-rpS6), while anti-S6-1 did not, suggesting that S6-2, S6-4 and S6-5 were exposed on the r-rpS6 surface, while S6-1 was less exposed or possessed a different conformation. The immunostaining of HeLa cells as well as isolated chromosomes suggested that rpS6 occurs in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but less possible on chromosomes since no Abs showed localization of rpS6 to chromosomes. In addition, the immunostaining suggested that only S6-4 is exposed on the protein surface, while S6-2 and S6-5 are buried by the interaction with other macromolecules in HeLa cells. Present our result shows new possibility of antibodies as tools for structure-oriented cell biology.Mar. 2008, Journal of biochemistry, 143(3) (3), 325 - 32, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Chromosome maps of legumes.Legumes are of immense importance as food and feed, and for sustainable agriculture, due to their ability to fix nitrogen. Here, the chromosome maps of the legumes soybean (Glycine max), Lotus (Lotus japonicus), and red clover (Trifolium pratense) are reviewed. These species have relatively small chromosomes and therefore are difficult to exploit for chromosome studies. Nevertheless, the identification of individual chromosomes became feasible, and chromosome maps have been developed applying image analysis and fluorescence in-situ hybridization. For Lotus japonicus, e.g. detailed chromosome maps have been developed using the information of genetic linkage maps. Future prospects of further legume chromosome mapping for breeding and genetic purposes are discussed.2007, Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 15(1) (1), 97 - 103, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- With the aim of establishing the basic knowledge and resources needed for applied genetics, we investigated the genome structure of red clover Trifolium pratense L.. The average GC content of the nuclear genome was shown to be 34.2% by analysis of 1.4 Mb of random genomic sequences. A total of 26,356 ESTs, that were grouped into 9339 non-redundant sequences, were collected. A high-density genetic linkage map of the genome was constructed using two parent plants, HR and R130, and188 F1 plants from the mapping population. As a result, a total of 1434 loci detected by 1399 markers (1286 detected by microsatellite markers and 148 by RFLP markers) were successfully mapped onto seven linkage groups totaling 868.7 cM in length.

- RAPD markers encoding retrotransposable elements are linked to the male sex in Cannabis sativa L.Male-associated DNA sequences were analyzed in Cannabis sativa L. (hemp), a dioecious plant with heteromorphic sex chromosomes. DNA was isolated from male and female plants and subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. Of 120 primers, 17 yielded 400 to 1500-bp fragments detectable in male, but not female, plants. These fragments were cloned and used as probes in gel-blot analysis of genomic DNA. When male and female DNA was hybridized with 2 of these male-specific fragments, MADC(male-associated DNA sequences in C. sativa)3 and MADC4, particularly intense bands specific to male plants were detected in addition to bands common to both sexes. The MADC3 and MADC4 sequences were shown to encode gag/pol polyproteins of copia-like retrotransposons. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with MADC3 and MADC4 as probes revealed a number of intense signals on the Y chromosome as well as dispersed signals on all chromosomes. The gel-blot analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization results presented here support the hypothesis that accumulation of retrotransposable elements on the Y chromosome might be 1 cause of heteromorphism of sex chromosomes.Oct. 2005, Genome, 48(5) (5), 931 - 6, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Comprehensive structural analysis of the genome of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.).With the aim of establishing the basic knowledge and resources needed for applied genetics, we investigated the genome structure of red clover Trifolium pratense L. by a combination of cytological, genomic and genetic approaches. The deduced genome size was approximately 440 Mb, as estimated by measuring the nuclear DNA content by flow cytometry. Seven chromosomes could be distinguished by microscopic observation of DAPI stained prometaphase chromosomes and fluorescence in situ hybridization using 28S and 5S rDNA probes and bacterial artificial chromosome probes containing microsatellite markers with known positions on a genetic linkage map. The average GC content of the genomes of chloroplast, mitochondrion and nucleus were shown to be 33.8, 42.9 and 34.2%, respectively, by the analysis of 1.4 Mb of random genomic sequences. A total of 26,356 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) that were grouped into 9339 non-redundant sequences were collected, and 78% of the ESTs showed sequence similarity to registered genes, mainly of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice. To facilitate basic and applied genetics in red clover, we generated a high-density genetic linkage map with gene-associated microsatellite markers. A total of 7159 primer pairs were designed to amplify simple sequence repeats (SSRs) identified in four different types of libraries. Based on sequence similarity, 82% of the SSRs were likely to be associated with genes. Polymorphism was examined using two parent plants, HR and R130, and 10 F(1) progeny by agarose gel electrophoresis, followed by genotyping for the primer pairs showing polymorphisms using 188 F(1) plants from the mapping population. The selected 1305 microsatellite markers as well as the previously developed 167 restriction fragment length polymorphism markers were subjected to linkage analysis. A total of 1434 loci detected by 1399 markers were successfully mapped onto seven linkage groups totaling 868.7 cM in length; 405 loci (28%) were bi-parental, 611 (43%) were specific to HR and 418 (29%) were specific to R130. Each genetic linkage group was linked to a corresponding chromosome by FISH analysis using seven microsatellite markers specific to each of the linkage groups as probes. Transferability of the developed microsatellite markers to other germplasms was confirmed by testing 268 selected markers on 88 red clover germplasms. Macrosynteny at the segmental level was observed between the genomes of red clover and two model legumes, Lotus japonicus and Medicago truncatula, strongly suggesting that the genome information for the model legumes is transferable to red clover for genetic investigations and experimental breeding.2005, DNA research : an international journal for rapid publication of reports on genes and genomes, 12(5) (5), 301 - 64, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- In order to evaluate the agronomic importance of amphitetraploid F 1 hybrids between Lolium multiflorum Lam. (2n=4x=28) and Festuca arundinacea var. glaucescens Boiss. (2n=4x=28), several agronomic and cytological characters were examined. The general appearance of F 1 hybrids produced using an embryo-culture was similar to L. multiflorum. Their agronomic characters, including plant height, first heading date and regrowth vigor, tended toward the middle of the parental characters or were rather more similar to the tetraploid L. multiflorum (cv. Aki-aoba). The total fresh weight per year of F 1 hybrids was equal to the tetraploid L. multiflorum and F. arundinacea (2n=6x=42, cvs. Lubrette, Hokuryo). The dry matter digestibility was equal or superior to that of F. arundinacea. The pollen fertility and seed yield were sufficient for ordinary propagation. These results suggest the possibility of producing a new Festulolium line with good agronomic performance from the tetraploid hybrids obtained in this study. Though there was no aneuploid in F 1 hybrids, some multivalents and/or univalents were observed. Parental chromosomes were identified in the F 1 hybrids using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). GISH was found to be useful in detecting the changes of parental genomes among the progenies in the breeding programs.Japanese Society of Grassland Science, Apr. 1998, Grassland Science, 44-1, 14p-21p(1) (1), 14 - 21, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Recent advances in rice genome and chromosome structure research by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is an effective method for the physical mapping of genes and repetitive DNA sequences on chromosomes. Physical mapping of unique nucleotide sequences on specific rice chromosome regions was performed using a combination of chromosome identification and highly sensitive FISH. Increases in the detection sensitivity of smaller DNA sequences and improvements in spatial resolution have ushered in a new phase in FISH technology. Thus, it is now possible to perform in situ hybridization on somatic chromosomes, pachytene chromosomes, and even on extended DNA fibers (EDFs). Pachytene-FISH allows the integration of genetic linkage maps and quantitative chromosome maps. Visualization methods using FISH can reveal the spatial organization of the centromere, heterochromatin/euchromatin, and the terminal structures of rice chromosomes. Furthermore, EDF-FISH and the DNA combing technique can resolve a spatial distance of 1 kb between adjacent DNA sequences, and the detection of even a 300-bp target is now feasible. The copy numbers of various repetitive sequences and the sizes of various DNA molecules were quantitatively measured using the molecular combing technique. This review describes the significance of these advances in molecular cytology in rice and discusses future applications in plant studies using visualization techniques.2010, Proceedings of the Japan Academy.

- Rice chromosome research was initiated around 1910 and has been progressing ever since. Twelve pairs of chromosomes (2n = 24) and a 440 Mb genome, the smallest genome among all main cereal crops, have been identified. According to the recent rice chromosome researches, all chromosomes were well identified over the disadvantages of small chromosome size and quantitative rice chromosomal maps have been developed using chromosome image analysis system (CHIAS). Moreover, agriculturally important genes have been detected using new direct DNA visualization methods with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

- Arabidopsis thaliana L. has 10 chromosomes that are small and similar in morphology. Molecular cytogenetics and image analyses were applied to characterize the somatic chromosomes. Prometaphase chromosomes were quantitatively analyzed based on their patterns of condensation, because they show a prominent uneven condensation along the chromosomes. The total length of the haploid prometaphase chromosomes is 16.5 μm, which is about 1.8 times the size of the metaphase chromosomes. We also detected the 45S (18S-5.8S-25S) and 5S rDNA loci by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and determined their locations on the chromosomes by the imaging methods. As a result, a quantitative chromosome map based on the condensation pattern was developed for the first time in Arabidopsis with the locations of rDNAs by using imaging methods. It is now possible to localize genes precisely on this map.Japan Mendel Society, International Society of Cytology, 2000, CYTOLOGIA, 65(3) (3), 325 - 331, English

We tried to elucidate the inner structure of the chromosome by visualization of nucleosome positions by slice and view method using focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy. As a result, random distribution of nucleosomes were revealed through the chromosome and no regular structure was not detected. On the other hand, we analyzed the chromosome scaffold and revealed that the scaffold consisted with helical double stranded structure. This structure accounts the rigid and flexible nature of the chromosome.

However, certain lines and crosses produce monoecious individuals. Dioecism and monoecism are of relevance in commercial hybrid seed production, and elucidation of the mechanisms underlying sex determination is valuable for spinach breeding programs. Sex expression in dioecious spinach plants is controlled by a single gene pair termed X and Y. Meiotic recombination was found suppressed in the vicinity of the male-determining locus (Y). A locus controlling the monoecious condition (M) is linked to X/Y locus at 12 cM. In this study, we identified 220 genes linked to X/Y locus, part of which were found to be located in the recombinationally suppressed region. The locus for monoecism was confined to a 25-kbp chromosomal segment.

First, we focused on students’ inquiry skills of science and technology contents. We conducted experimental lessons that aimed to nurture the skills of generating well-defined scientific questions and so on. Second, we elucidated the acquisition process of epistemic understanding from an analysis of learners’ discourse during peer critique. Third, we collected examples of socio-scientific issues-based instruction as well as empirical findings on measurement tasks and evaluation methods from the literature, and attempted to theorize the instruction and evaluation methods systematically. We made a Japanese version of the measurement task and conducted a survey of Japanese college students. Having analyzed the survey results, we determined the characteristics of college students’ decision-making on trans-science problems and elaborated the rubrics.

- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 特定領域研究, 独立行政法人農業生物資源研究所, 2008 - 2009ミヤコグサとのシンテニーを利用したダイズのゲノム構造の解析1. ミスズダイズと秣食豆公503に由来するRILの連鎖地図を基準にして、ミヤコグサの塩基配列情報を利用して比較地図を作製した。F2連鎖地図を用いた結果と同様にダイズの染色体はミヤコグサ連鎖ブロックのモザイクとなっていた。相同染色体は1対ずつで、染色体レベルでは2倍体である。 2. Williams82のゲノム塩基配列から同祖領域を探索したところ、領域の大きさは最大約12.4MBにわたっていることがわかった。同祖領域の分布は極めて複雑でダイズゲノムは複数の倍加と再編成を経て形成されたと考えられる 3. ミヤコグサの花の対称性に関わる遺伝子cyc3のオーソログGmcyc3aを含むBACクローンとGmcyc3aの同祖遺伝子Gmcyc3bを含むBACクローンを異なる蛍光色素でラベルしてパキテン期染色体に同時に貼り付けるとそれぞれ同じ領域にシグナルが観察され、一方のシグナルが強いところは他方のシグナルが弱く見かけ上2つのシグナルがはっきりと認められた。同じことが、同祖遺伝子NFR1a、NFR1bなどでも観察された。また開花期関連遺伝子FT3を含むダイズのTACクローンと相同なミヤコグサのTACクローンは同じ位置にシグナルが見られ強弱が逆転していた。一般にミヤコグサのTACクローンはダイズのBACクローンに比較してシグナルが弱かった。 4. ダイズのゲノムはマメ科植物の中で、極めて特異的であることがわかった。マクロシンテニー、マイクロシンテニーの解析から、倍加と再編成の結果、現在のゲノム構造が生じたと考えられる。ホモロジーの極めて高い同祖遺伝子は、一般に2つ存在していてそれは最も新しい時期の倍加による結果だと考えられる。それらの遺伝子間では機能の分業が生じていて、ダイズは遺伝子レベルでも2倍体としてのシステムを獲得していると言える。
