The organization, nucleitide sequence and chromosomal distribution of a tandemly repeated, satellite DNA from A. cepa (Liliaceae) were studied. The satellite, which constitutes about 4% of the A. cepa genome, may be resolved from main-band DNA in antibiotic-CsCl density gradients, and has a repeat length of about 375 base pairs (bp). A cloned member of the repeat family hybridizes exclusively to chromosome telomeres and has a non-random distribution in interphase nuclei. The nucleotide sequences of 3 repeats, which differ at a large number of positions are presented. In addition to arrays made up of 375-bp repeats, homologous sequence are found in units with a greater repeat length. This divergence between repeats reflects the heterogeneity of the satellite determined using other criteria. Possible constraints on the interchrmosomal exchange of repeated sequences are discussed.
