The barcode probe is a convenient and efficient tool for molecular cytogenetics. Tripidium arundinaceum, as a polyploid wild allied genus of Saccharum, is a useful genetic resource that confers biotic and abiotic stress resistance for sugarcane breeding. Unfortunately, the basic cytogenetic information is still unclear due to the complex genome. We constructed the Cot-20 library for screening moderately and highly repetitive sequences from T. arundinaceum, and the chromosomal distribution of these repetitive sequences was explored. We used the barcode of repetitive sequence probes to distinguish the ten chromosome types of T. arundinaceum by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with Ea-0907, Ea-0098, and 45S rDNA. Furthermore, the distinction among homology chromosomes based on repetitive sequences was constructed in T. arundinaceum by the repeated FISH using the barcode probes including Ea-0663, Ea-0267, EaCent, 5S rDNA, Ea-0265, Ea-0070, and 45S rDNA. We combined these probes to distinguish 37 different chromosome types, suggesting that the repetitive sequences may have different distributions on homologous chromosomes of T. arundinaceum. In summary, this method provide a basis for the development of similar applications for cytogenetic analysis in other species.
