Certain isolates of the plant pathogenic fungus Nectria haematococca mating population (MP) VI contain a 1.6-Mb conditionally dispensable (CD) chromosome carrying the phytoalexin detoxification genes MAK1 and PDA6-1. This chromosome is structurally unstable during sexual reproduction. As a first step in our analysis of the mechanisms underlying this chromosomal instability, hybridization between overlapping cosmid clones was used to construct a map of the MAK1 PDA6-1 chromosome. The map consists of 33 probes that are linked by 199 cosmid clones. The polymerase chain reaction and Southern analysis of N. haematococca MP VI DNA digested with infrequently cutting restriction enzymes were used to close gaps and order the hybridization-derived contigs. Hybridization to a probe extended from telomeric repeats was used to anchor the ends of the map to the actual chromosome ends. The resulting map is estimated to cover 95% of the MAK1 PDA6-1 chromosome and is composed of two ordered contigs. Thirty-eight percent of the clones in the minimal map are known to contain repeated DNA sequences. Three dispersed repeats were cloned during map construction; each is present in five to seven copies on the chromosome. The cosmid clones representing the map were probed with deleted forms of the CD chromosome and the results were integrated into the map. This allowed the identification of chromosome breakpoints and deletions.
