Possible repetitive DNA markers for Eusorghum and Parasorghum and their potential use in examining phylogenetic hypotheses on the origin of Sorghum species.

Genomic structures of two major species in section Eusorghum (Sorghum), Sorghum bicolor and Sorghum halepense, and their phylogenetic relationships with a species in section Parasorghum, Sorghum versicolor, were studied by using cloned repetitive DNA sequences from the three species. Of the five repetitive DNA clones isolated from S. bicolor and S. halepense, four produced qualitatively similar hybridization patterns with detectable variations in copy numbers of some of the restriction fragments on the Southern blots of the two genomic DNAs. One clone was shown to be diagnostic for S. halepense. Molecular analysis at the DNA level indicates that S. bicolor and S. halepense have similar but not identical genomes, consonant with differences in karyotypes, meiotic chromosome behaviors, morphology, and physiology of the species. In addition to five repetitive clones isolated from S. bicolor and S. halepense, eight more sequences were cloned from S. versicolor. Nine clones were found to be specific for either S. bicolor and S. halepense or S. versicolor. The remaining four had a moderate to strong homology with sequences present in all Sorghum species studied. We speculate that the genome in the common ancestor of Sorghum has differentiated to give rise to genomes of at least three major chromosome sizes; large, medium, and small, as seen at present. Amplifications, eliminations, rearrangements, and new syntheses of repetitive sequences may have been involved in genome differentiation of these species. The results also suggest that the S. versicolor genome has strongly diverged from the genomes of the two species in section Eusorghum.
