Abstract:
A genomic DNA library of Lupinus luteus cv. Ventus was constructed in the phage vector EMBL3 using Mb oI-digested DNA. Screening with a 1070 bp labelled repetitive unit from L. luteus yielded several DNA clones. The repetitive family is composed of elements whose length is at least 16 kb. The average copy number of the cloned fragments is 5.0 × 10(4) per haploid genome and constitutes approximately 3% of the total L. luteus genome. The homologous repeats were found in all ten cultivars of L. luteus tested but were not detected in two cultivars each of the closely related species Lupinus albus and Lupinus angustifolius. The EcoRI family fragments could thus be considered as species-specific DNA elements. These fragments may be useful as molecular markers in the genetic manipulation of L. luteus.
