A probe for A. cristatum tandem repeat ACRI_CL78 (Said et al. 2018 (link)) was labeled by PCR with digoxigenin-dUTP (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) using diploid A. cristatum cv. Parkway DNA as a template. Biotin-dUTP (Roche) or digoxigenin-dUTP labeled probe for 5S rDNA was prepared according to Fukui et al. (1994 (link)) using rice DNA as a template for PCR. The plasmid pTa71 (45S rDNA) containing a 9-kb fragment from bread wheat with 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA and intergenic spacers (Gerlach and Bedbrook 1979 (link)) and genomic DNA of tetraploid A. cristatum PI 222957 were labeled with either biotin or digoxigenin by nick translation using standard kits (Nick Translation Mix, Roche) following the manufacturer’s instructions.
