五种落叶松遗传关系的等位酶分析

由于种间形态上的微弱区别,落叶松属的系统分类一直很混乱,落叶松属的系统发生也知之甚少。本文分析了西伯利亚落叶松(Larix sibirica Ledeb.),卡氏落叶松(L.cajanderi Mayr.),兴安落叶松(L.gmelinii Rupr.),苏氏落叶松(L.sukaczewii Dil.)和杂交种切氏落叶松L.czekanowskii(L.gmelinii×L.sibirica)天然种群的遗传结构。采用水平切片淀粉凝胶电泳技术,等位酶分析手段对5个酶系统(AAT,IDH,DIA,PGM,SKDH)的8个基因位点进行了遗传结构分析。结果表明各种间遗传距离(D)在0.067~0.260之间,明显大于各种群内居群间的遗传距离。等位酶的分析结果揭示了5种落叶松的遗传关系。结合以上每种落叶松的形态学、生物学和生态学特性,等位酶的证据了支持兴安落叶松、西伯利亚落叶松、卡氏落叶松、苏氏落叶松作为独立种的观点。     

中国4种蝗虫不同种群的遗传分化

采用水平淀粉凝胶电泳技术,应用等位酶分析方法对采自我国山西、江苏、河北等地不同蝗区优势蝗虫种类3科4种8个种群的12种酶18个酶位点进行了检测,比较了4种蝗虫种群水平的等位基因频率变化和它们之间的遗传距离。等位基因频率分析表明：中华稻蝗和笨蝗各位点等位基因丰富,而长翅素木蝗和短额负蝗各位点等位基因较少。在所研究的4种蝗虫8个种群中,多态位点百分率普遍较高(P＝53．3％—100．0％),由于杂合子数目较少而使每个位点的平均杂合度观察值偏低(H。＝0．034—0．139)。受迁飞能力、繁殖方式和活动范围的限制,4种蝗虫的平均杂合度观察值表现出一定的差异：笨蝗较高(H。＝0．089—0．139),其次是中华稻蝗(H。＝0．073—0．090),而长翅素木蝗(H。＝0．0488—0．068)和短额负蝗(H。＝0．034—0．050)相对较低。除Adk-1、Ao-1、Idh-1、Ldh-1、Ldh-2和Me-1在部分蝗虫种群符合Hardy-Weinberg平衡外,其余绝大多数位点的基因型频率显著偏离H—W平衡,但短额负蝗的多个位点符合或接近H—W平衡,表明该种蝗虫在自然种群结构方面明显有别于其他种类。从4种蝗虫的F—统计量(Fst)看,笨蝗种群间基因分化程度最高(Fst＝0．32),其次是短额负蝗(Fst＝0．31),而中华稻蝗相对较低(Fsl＝0．20),长翅素木蝗种群间基因分化程度最低(Fsl＝0．18),利用非加权算术平均法(UPGMA)对I值和D值进行聚类,所得聚类树也证实了这种遗传分化差异,上述结果反映了迁飞能力、适应性和环境因子对不同蝗虫遗传分化的影响。Nei的遗传距离(D)和遗传一致度(I)进行的聚类分析基本符合传统形态学、细胞学等研究结果：即同属于斑腿蝗科的中华稻蝗和长翅素木蝗遗传距离最小(D＝0．559),遗传一致度最高(I＝0．576)。在3个科中,癞蝗科和锥头蝗科之间呈现较小的遗传距离(D＝0．776)和较高的遗传一致度(I＝0．776),而这两科与斑腿蝗科之间的遗传距离相对较大(D＝0．908),遗传一致度相对较低(I＝0．406)。等位酶分析能较好地反映蝗虫不同物种的亲缘关系和种内不同种群之间的遗传分化程度。     

An evaluation of the species boundaries of two putative taxonomic entities of Euterpe (Arecaceae) based on reproductive and morphological features

Past taxonomic treatments have classified Euterpe espiritosantensis as a synonym of E. edulis. However, both continue to be identified as two distinct species and are enumerated in the threatened species list. The goal of this study was to compare the reproductive biology of sympatric populations of these two morphs so as to identify morphological characters and mechanisms of reproductive isolation that could help to clarify species boundaries. Individuals of E. edulis and E. espiritosantensis show differences in size and duration of the peduncular bract, and differ in regard to inflorescence and immature fruit coloration. With an overlapping flowering period, but with distinctly different flowering peaks, the two taxa share the main visitors, viz. different Apidae and some Vespidae. Fruit and viable seeds are produced after self-, cross- and inter-specific cross-pollination in both morphs. Seed germination is significantly higher in E. edulis than in E. espiritosantensis. Differences in morphological and reproductive features suggest that these sympatric populations of two Euterpe morphs are to a reasonable degree reproductively isolated, which supports the recognition of E. espiritosantensis as a distinct species from E. edulis. The potential for hybridization does not reject the hypothesis of species distinctness, but points to a potential case of sympatric speciation that merits further investigations. Given that natural populations of Euterpe are nowadays fragmented and reduced in area of occurrence, retaining the high conservation status for E. espiritosantensis will help to safeguard this taxonomic entity under considerable threat.

作物远缘杂交育种的途径及其实质

作物远缘杂交的育种可操作性及效果多年来颇有争议,科学家对物种起源与进化的研究恰恰是指导作物远缘杂交育种的理论基础。物种形成理论研究表明生命的共同起源是远缘杂交的理论基础,生物多样性是远缘杂交的物质基础。生物种间的繁殖隔离机制是远缘杂交不亲和性障碍的根源所在,而物种形成方式又为克服远缘杂交的不亲和性提供了理论依据。其中异域性物种形成方式下的生殖隔离具有不彻底性,是克服远缘杂交受精前不亲和性的理论根据;同域性物种形成方式中多倍体化的方式对远缘杂交受精后不亲和性的克服具有较强的指导意义。本文在通过对以上方面的阐述,剖析了远缘杂交的障碍来源、克服途径及实质,为作物远缘杂交育种工作提供参考。     

The role of host-specificity in the reproductive isolation of Epichloë endophytes revealed by reciprocal infections

Speciation in sexually reproducing organisms hinges on reproductive barriers that reduce gene flow between species or preclude the formation of hybrids. Here, we studied potential reproductive barriers in four members of the Epichloë typhina (Ascomycota, Clavicipitaceae) complex, i.e. Epichloë typhina infecting Dactylis glomerata, E. typhina subsp. clarkii infecting Holcus lanatus, E. typhina subsp. poae infecting Poa nemoralis and E. typhina infecting P. trivialis. Reciprocal inoculation tests showed that these endophytes are host-specific. This suggests that reproductive isolation among Epichloë strains may be the result of specialization to one host, on which mating between different individuals occurs. Furthermore, significantly lower infection frequencies of F1 progeny from crosses between host-strains compared to parental strains and within host-strain progeny suggest that host-dependent effects upon hybrid fitness exist, which would conform to an extrinsic postzygotic isolation barrier. Our results may explain, why members of the E. typhina complex remain genetically differentiated in natural populations.     

Speciation in the large-spored Metschnikowia clade and establishment of a new species, Metschnikowia borealis comb. nov

The reproductive boundaries among species in the large-spored Metschnikowia clade were studied by prototrophic recombinant selection, electrophoretic karyotyping, mitochondrial DNA restriction analysis, and DNA sequence analysis. Inviable ascospores arose from crosses between the two varieties of Metschnikowia continentalis, indicating that they should be recognized as separate species. Prototrophic recombinants were recovered from crosses between auxotrophic mutants of Metschnikowia borealis, M. continentalis, Metschnikowia lochheadii, Metschnikowia sp. UWO(PS)00-154.1, and Candida ipomoeae, showing that some genetic exchange is possible in spite of the sterility of the asci formed in interspecific crosses. Metschnikowia hawaiiensis, although capable of ascus formation when its h(-) mating type is crossed with the h(+) mating type of the other species, did not give rise to recombinants. In the other species, some recombinants acquired the ability to form asci directly from single cells. These often contained the chromosomes of both parents, suggesting formation of allodiploid hybrids. Other recombinants behaved as haploids and were similar to one parent except for having inherited the selectable wild-type allele from the other parent. In most, but not all cases, inheritance of the mitochondrial genome was uniparental and correlated with the inheritance of the nuclear chromosome complement. In some cases, what appeared to be a recombinant mitochondrial genome was observed. Phylogenies derived from the sequences of various DNA regions were not congruent, indicating that hybridization may have taken place in nature as the large-spored species diverged from their common ancestor. Further evidence that C. ipomoeae arose from a natural recombination event was obtained, but a pair of Metschnikowia species that might represent derived forms of the parents could not be identified conclusively. C. ipomoeae and most of its closely related Metschnikowia species contained a group-II intron in the mitochondrial small-subunit ribosomal gene. The intron was absent in M. borealis, M. hawaiiensis, and other species in the genus Metschnikowia.     

Natural selection and divergence in mate preference during speciation

Sexual isolation can evolve due to natural selection against hybrids (reinforcement). However, many different forms of hybrid dysfunction, and selective processes that do not involve hybrids, can contribute to the evolution of sexual isolation. Here we review how different selective processes affect the evolution of sexual isolation, describe approaches for distinguishing among them, and assess how they contribute to variation in sexual isolation among populations of Timema cristinae stick-insects. Pairs of allopatric populations of T. cristinae living on different host-plant species exhibit greater sexual isolation than those on the same host, indicating that some sexual isolation has evolved due to host adaptation. Sexual isolation is strongest in regions where populations on different hosts are in geographic contact, a pattern of reproductive character displacement that is indicative of reinforcement. Ecological costs to hybridization do occur but traits under ecological selection (predation) do not co-vary strongly with the probability of between-population mating such that selection on ecological traits is not predicted to produce a strong correlated evolutionary response in mate preference. Moreover, F1 hybrid egg inviability is lacking and the factors contributing to reproductive character displacement require further study. Finally, we show that sexual isolation involves, at least in part, olfactory communication. Our results illustrate how understanding of the evolution of sexual isolation can be enhanced by isolating the roles of diverse ecological and evolutionary processes.     

Female and male visually based mate preferences are consistent with reproductive isolation between populations of the Lake Malawi endemic Labeotropheus fuelleborni

Sexual selection via female mate choice is thought to have played a key role in the speciation of haplochromine cichlids, but a dominant role for visual signals in such processes has lately been called into question. In addition, the possible role of male mating preferences in haplochromine speciation has been little studied. We studied patterns of both female and male mate choice, based exclusively on visual signals, in order to evaluate potential reproductive isolation between two populations of the Lake Malawi haplochromine Labeotropheus fuelleborni. In the first experiment, females were allowed to choose between two males, one from the same population and the other allopatric with respect to the female. Females in this experiment responded more frequently to males from their own population. Similarly, the males in these trials displayed more frequently when presented with females of their own population. In the second experiment, a female was allowed to choose between two males, either both from her own population or both allopatric. In these trials, both males and females from the Katale population interacted significantly more frequently in settings in which all three individuals were from the same population (same-population trios), and those from the Chipoka population showed a similar trend. Thus, patterns in both male and female courtship behavior suggest that visual signals contribute to at least incipient reproductive isolation between populations of L. fuelleborni [Current Zoology 56 (1): 65-72 2010].     

Sympatry between <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alouatta caraya</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alouatta clamitans</Emphasis> and the rediscovery of free-ranging potential hybrids in Southern Brazil

Records of sympatry between Alouatta caraya and A. clamitans are rare despite their extensive range overlap. An example of their current sympatry and the rediscovery of free-ranging potential hybrids of A. caraya and A. clamitans in the forests of the Upper Paraná River, Southern Brazil, are reported in this paper. Eight groups were observed in the study area: five monospecific groups of A. caraya, two of A. clamitans, and a group containing two adult males and two adult females of A. caraya and a sub-adult male and two adult females identified as Alouatta sp. The color of the last three individuals was a mosaic between the two species; this is consistent with previously described variations in museum specimens collected in the Paraná River in the 1940s that had been identified as potential hybrids. The results from this study emphasize the need for scientific studies in the region of the Ilha Grande National Park, one of the few regions in the Paraná River that currently harbors both howler species.
