Fig. 8. Characterization of novel centromeric tandem repeats of cowpea.

Fig. 8

a Mitotic metaphase chromosomes after FISH using repeat-specific probes allowing the separate visualization of the 455 bp, 712 bp, and 1600 bp repeats. b The precise locations of the probes are indicated by black bars. a Probes are located either in regions occurring in sub-repeats specific for the individual repeats or in regions with sequence deviations preventing a strong cross-hybridization on the other repeats. b Schematic illustration of the repeat unit (units A–E) organization of 455 bp, 721 bp, and 1600 bp centromeric tandem repeats of cowpea. c Phylogenetic tree based on the DNA sequences of the tandem repeat units A–E and pVuKB2.
