Highly GC-rich heterochromatin in chili peppers (Capsicum-Solanaceae): A cytogenetic and molecular characterization

Capsicum comprises 35 species of chili peppers and five of them are cultivated worldwide as spices or vegetables. Diploid karyotypes based in x = 12 and x = 13 are common in Capsicum and the constitutive heterochromatin (cHet) is of particular interest in the genus since it is largely variable, part...

description Capsicum comprises 35 species of chili peppers and five of them are cultivated worldwide as spices or vegetables. Diploid karyotypes based in x = 12 and x = 13 are common in Capsicum and the constitutive heterochromatin (cHet) is of particular interest in the genus since it is largely variable, particularly its highly GC-rich fraction. However, the repetitive DNA components of this heterochromatic regions are unknown. Given the co-localization of rDNA loci with the CMA+DAPI– heterochromatic bands, we tested the hypothesis that the highly GC-rich cHet fraction is composed of the whole 18S-25S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) unit or some of its components. Here we report on a novel satellite for Capsicum and Solanaceae composed of the complete rDNA unit. We physically mapped six Capsicum derived specific 18S-25S rDNA probes that covered the entire span of the rDNA unit and analysed a DraI restriction product on eight chromosomally different taxa of Capsicum, representative of the major phylogenetic clades of chili peppers. The co-localization of every gene and spacer probes of the 18S-25S rDNA unit suggest their structural function as a major repetitive component of the highly GC-rich cHet in Capsicum species with x = 12. In addition, analyses of the clones derived from restriction assays in C. pubescens suggested that the differential functional status of 18S-25S rDNA loci (nucleolar organizer regions -NORs- or cHet) in this species is related to a divergence in a short sequence upstream the regulatory transcription initiation site (TIS) of the intergenic spacer (IGS). The results here provided evidence that an rDNA mega satellite played a significant role in the evolution of the karyotype features of x = 12 Capsicum species. The finding of a mega satellite family derived from the whole rDNA unit is a novelty for plant genomes
