    Abstract:
    The restriction endonuclease map of the 25 S and 18 S ribosomal RNA genes of a higher plant is presented. Soybean (Glycine max) rDNA was enriched by preparative buoyant density centrifugation in CsCl-actinomycin D gradients. The buoyant density of the rDNA was determined to be 1.6988 g cm(-3) by analytical centrifugation in CsCl. Saturation hybridization showed that 0.1% of the total DNA contains 25 S and 18 S rRNA coding sequences. This is equivalent to 800 rRNA genes per haploid genome (DNA content: 1.29 pg) or 3200 for the tetraploid genome. Restriction endonuclease mapping was performed with Bam H I, Hind III, Eco R I, and BstI. The repeating unit of the soybean ribosomal DNA has a molecular weight of 5.9·10(6) or approximately 9,000 kb. The 25 S and 18 S rRNA coding sequences were localized within the restriction map of the repeating unit by specific hybridization with either [(125)I]25 S or [(125)I]18 S rRNA. It was demonstrated that there is no heterogeneity even in the spacer region of the soybean rDNA.
