Chromosome ‘painting’ in plants — a feasible technique?

Abstract

It is shown that chromosome painting is as yet not possible for plants with very complex genomes, neither intra- nor interspecific. The reasons are inefficient blocking of dispersed repetitive sequences and insufficient signal intensity of short unique sequences. Future perspective are indicated.
