简介：以便揭示在二CCDD染色体种，Oryzaalta和Oryzalatifolia之间的起源和进化关系，在situ杂交(鱼)的荧光被采用从O与C0t-1DNA分析二种的染色体。alta作为一根探针。Karyotype比较地也在O之间被分析。alta和O。latifolia基于他们杂交的类似的乐队模式发信号。在O之间有高相同和靠近的关系。alta和O。然而，在杂交之间的区别表明的latifolia也是清楚的。C0t-1DNA被证明是种类--并且染色体类型特定。C0t-1DNA鱼能是更有效的分析在不同种类之间的genomic关系，这被建议。根据在二allotetraploidy种之间的高度并且中等重复的DNA序列的比较分析，O。alta和O。latifolia，可能的起源和Oryza的allotetraploidy的进化机制被讨论。
