  • Title: An A + T-rich satelitte DNA in a monocotyledonous plant, Cymbidium.
    Author: Capesius I, Bierweiler B, Bachmann K, Rücker W, Nagl W.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1975 Jun 02; 395(1):67-73. PubMed ID: 1138934.
    Abstract:
    The DNA of aseptically grown protocorms of a Cymbidium hybrid and in vitro developed leaves, as well as DNA of leaves and flower buds of Cymbidium ceres from the greenhouse, was analysed by analytical ultracentrifugation and thermal denaturation. Upon ultracentrifugation a satellite DNA with a buoyant density of 1.682 g/cm-3 appears as a shoulder on the main band (density 1.694 g/cm-3). Thermal denaturation reveals an inhomogeneous main peak with the major component melting at 84 degrees C and a separate peak melting at 75 degrees C. This is the first demonstration of a satellite DNA in a monocot, and one of the rare examples of a major A + T-rich DNA fraction in a plant.
