Notes:
Summary It has been previously shown that in the genome of maize the multiple copies of the histone H3 and H4 multigenic families are organized into eight to ten subfamilies each containing a variable number of copies. Each subfamily is characterized by a specific proximal environment and thus can be revealed by blot-hybridization with its specific 5′ probe. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) combined with monosomic analysis was used to localize several H3 and H4 subfamilies on maize chromosomes. H3 and H4 genes were found to be located on most, possibly all of the chromosomes, revealing a remarkably dispersed organization of these multigenic families.
