The 35S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) units that occur in tandem repeat are separated by an intergenic spacer (IGS) that plays an important role in rRNA transcription. Moreover, IGS is an important molecular marker for evolutionary research in plants. In the present study, the IGS sequence of Erianthus arundinaceus was isolated and sequenced for the first time. Structure analysis indicated the entire IGS sequence of three typical E. arundtnaceus genotypes was highly conserved, with approximately 3087 bp and 67.1% mean GC content. The putative transcription termination, and initiation sites as well as a large number of methylation sites were found to be present in the IGS of E. arundinaceus compared to other plants. The phylogenic tree constructed using the E. arundinaceus IGS sequence showed that Miscanthus sinensis var. glaber was genetically close to Saccharum spp. while E. arundinaceus was close to imperata cylindrica. Moreover, fluorescent in situ hybridization revealed that IGS and pTa71 probes had the same locus at nucleolar organizer regions. Taken together, this work enhances our current understanding of the organization of IGS in E. arundinaceus and provides a molecular evidence for an evolutionary relationship between Saccharum spp., E. arundinaceus, L cylindrica and M. sinensis var. glaber.
