Summary
Four repetitive sequences from Avena murphyi have been isolated and their genome organization studied in different species of the genus Avena. A tandem sequence array was found for the Avena species that contain the C genome. Three other dispersed sequences present in the A and C genomes were arranged in a genomespecific manner. The fact that no major differences in the hybridization patterns were found between species with the same basic genome is consistent with the current taxonomy of Avena species.
