Recent work in the Triticum-Aegilops complex demonstrates that allopolyploidization is associated with an array of changes in low-copy coding and noncoding sequences. Nevertheless, the behavior and fate of repetitive DNA elements that constitute the bulk of nuclear DNA of these plant species is less clear following allopolyploidy. To gain further insight into the genomic events that accompany allopolyploid formation, we investigated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) patterns of a parental-specific, tandem DNA repeat (pGc1R-1) on three sets of newly synthesized amphiploids with different parental species. It was found that drastic physical elimination of pGc1R-1 copies occurred in all three amphiploids in early generations. DNA gel-blot analysis confirmed the FISH data and estimates indicated that approximately 70-90% of the copies of the pGc1R-1 repeat family were eliminated from the amphiploids by the second to third selfed generations. Thus, allopolyploidy in Triticum-Aegilops can be accompanied by rapid and extensive elimination of parental-specific repetitive DNA sequences, which presumably play a role in the initial stabilization of the nascent amphiploid plants.
