Main conclusionThree subtelomeric satellites and one interstitial 5S rDNA were characterized inCucumis hystrix, and the pericentromeric signals of twoC. hystrixsubtelomeric satellites alongC. sativuschromosomes supported the hypothesis of chromosome fusion inCucumis.Tandem repeats are chromosome structural fractions consisting of highly repetitive sequences organized in large tandem arrays in most eukaryotes. Differentiation of tandem repeats directly affects the chromosome structure, which contributes to species formation and evolution.Cucumis hystrix(2n= 2x= 24) is the only wildCucumisspecies grouped into the same subgenus withC. sativus(2n= 2x= 14), hence its phylogenetic position confers a vital role forC. hystrixto understand the chromosome evolution inCucumis. However, our knowledge ofC. hystrixtandem repeats is insufficient for a detailed understanding of the chromosome evolution inCucumis. Based on de novo tandem repeat characterization using bioinformatics and in situ hybridization (ISH), we identified and characterized four differentially amplified tandem repeats,Cucumis hystrixsatellite 1–3 (CuhySat1–CuhySat3) located at the subtelomeric regions of all chromosomes, andCucumis hystrix5S (Cuhy5S) located at the interstitial regions of one single chromosome pair. Comparative ISH mapping using CuhySat1–3 and Cuhy5S revealed high homology of tandem repeats betweenC. hystrixandC. sativus. Intriguingly, we found signal distribution variations of CuhySat2 and CuhySat3 onC. sativuschromosomes. In comparison to their subtelomeric signal distribution onC. hystrixchromosomes, CuhySat3 showed a pericentromeric signal distribution and CuhySat2 showed both subtelomeric and pericentromeric signal distributions onC. sativuschromosomes. This detailed characterization of fourC. hystrixtandem repeats significantly widens our knowledge of theC. hystrixchromosome structure, and the observed signal distribution variations will be helpful for understanding the chromosome evolution ofCucumis.
