7. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 7 Chromosomes and DNA
8. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 8 DNA: Chemical Composition
Two types of nitrogen-containing bases comprise the chemical structure of DNA:
- purines = adenine and guanine, A & G
- pyrimidines = thymine and cytosine, T & C
9. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 9 DNA: Chemical Composition
Nucleotides = building blocks of DNA = phosphate + sugar + base
Nucleoside = sugar +base
Sugar = 5 carbon deoxyribose
Phosphodiester bonds link sugar molecules to phosphate groups

11. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 11 DNA: Chemical Structure DNA = polynucleotide = a chain of bases
Orientation of sugar-phosphate linkages =
5’ to 3’ as the phosphate attached to the 5’ carbon of one sugar is linked to the 3’ carbon of the next sugar
Purine and pyrimidine bases are linked to the 1’ carbon of sugar

13. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 13 DNA: Chemical Structure DNA consists of two polynucleotide chains which run 5’ to 3’ in opposite directions = antiparallel
DNA chains are held together by hydrogen bonds between bases
DNA bases pair by Chargaff’s rules:
- Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) by 2 H-bounds
- Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C) by 3 bounds

15. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 15 DNA Sequence: convention 5’ to 3’end, one strand (because other strand is complementary and therefore known also)
16. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 16 Genome Size Complex organisms have large genomes = genetic contents of a cell
Genomic size increases with evolutionary complexity (in general!)
Size of DNA is measured in kb = kilobase pairs
Size of large genomes is measured in
Mb = megabase pairs
17. Molecular techniques in plant breeding, Cantho september 2006 17 Genes and genomes Gene = unique sequence of DNA bases, coding for a protein
Alleles = different variants of a gene in different organisms or on the homologous chromosomes
