The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes HIS3 (chr. XV), LYS2 (chr. II), ARG4 (chr. VIII), MF alpha 1 (chr. XVI) and MEL1 (chr. II) and the S. pastorianus gene MELx were used for identification of the homeologous chromosomes in S. bayanus by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Southern blot hybridization. The results showed differences in hybridization intensities and mobilities between the homeologous chromosomes of the two sibling yeasts S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus. The probes HIS3, LYS2, MEL1, and MF alpha 1 identified four new homeologous chromosomes of S. bayanus. The ARG4 probe confirmed the previously identified location of chr. VIII (NAUMOV et al. 1992b). Using the MF alpha 1 gene, another chromosome besides chr. XVI was identified in some S. bayanus strains, suggesting translocation of this sequence to the S. bayanus chromosome that normally migrates to the position of chr. XI of S. cerevisiae.

Nuclear protein transcription factors (TFs) regulate all biological processes in plants and are necessary for gene regulation. The transcription of genes during plant growth and development and their response to environmental cues are regulated by TF binding to specific promoter regions in the genomic DNA. Polyploid plants with several sets of chromosomes frequently display intricate genomic biases concerning TF expression.
