Mangrove tree species form ecologically and economically important forests along the tropical and subtropical coastlines of the world. Although low intrapopulation genetic diversity and high interpopulation genetic differentiation have been detected in most mangrove tree species, no direct investigation of pollen and propagule dispersal through paternity and/or parentage analysis and spatial genetic structure within populations has been conducted. We surveyed the mating system, pollen and propagule dispersal, and spatial genetic structure in a natural population of Kandelia candel, one of the typical viviparous mangrove tree species, using nuclear and chloroplast microsatellite markers. High diversity and outcrossing rates were observed. Paternity and parentage analysis and modelling estimations revealed the presence of an extremely short-distance component of pollen and propagule dispersal (pollen: 15.2 ± 14.9 m (SD) by paternity analysis and 34.4 m by modelling; propagule: 9.4 ± 13.8 m (SD) by parentage analysis, and 18.6 m by modelling). Genetic structure was significant at short distances, and a clumped distribution of chloroplast microsatellite genotypes was seen in K. candel adults. We conclude that the K. candel population was initiated by limited propagule founders from outside by long-distance dispersal followed by limited propagule dispersal from the founders, resulting in a half-sib family structure. 相似文献

The reproductive isolation barriers and the mating patterns among Pinus pumila, P. parviflora var. pentaphylla and their hybrids were examined by flowering phenology and genetic assays of three life stages: airborne‐pollen grains, adults and seeds, in a hybrid zone on Mount Apoi, Hokkaido, Japan. Chloroplast DNA composition of the airborne‐pollen was determined by single‐pollen polymerase chain reaction. Mating patterns were analysed by estimating the molecular hybrid index of the seed parent, their seed embryos and pollen parents. The observation of flowering phenology showed that the flowering of P. pumila precedes that of P. parviflora var. pentaphylla by about 6 to 10 days within the same altitudinal ranges. Although this prezygotic isolation barrier is effective, the genetic assay of airborne‐pollen showed that the two pine species, particularly P. pumila, still have chances to form F1 hybrid seeds. Both parental species showed a strong assortative mating pattern; F1 seeds were found in only 1.4% of seeds from P. pumila mother trees and not at all in P. parviflora var. pentaphylla. The assortative mating was concluded as the combined result of flowering time differentiation and cross‐incompatibility. In contrast to the parental species, hybrids were fertilized evenly by the two parental species and themselves. The breakdown of prezygotic barriers (intermediate flowering phenology) and cross‐incompatibility may account for the unselective mating. It is suggested that introgression is ongoing on Mount Apoi through backcrossing between hybrids and parental species, despite strong isolation barriers between the parental species. 相似文献

Drought-affected plants experience more than just desiccationof their organs due to water deficit. Plants transpire 1000times more molecules of water than of CO2 fixed by photosynthesisin full sunlight. One effect of transpiration is to cool theleaves. Accordingly, drought brings about such multi-stressesas high temperatures, excess photoradiation and other factorsthat affect plant viability. Wild watermelon serves as a suitablemodel system to study drought responses of C3 plants, sincethis plant survives drought by maintaining its water contentwithout any wilting of leaves or desiccation even under severedrought conditions. Under drought conditions in the presenceof strong light, wild watermelon accumulates high concentrationsof citrulline, glutamate and arginine in its leaves. The accumulationof citrulline and arginine may be related to the induction ofDRIP-1, a homologue of ArgE in Escherichia coli, where it functionsto incorporate the carbon skeleton of glutamate into the ureacycle. Immunogold electron microscopy reveals the enzyme tobe confined exclusively to the cytosol. DRIP-1 is also inducedby treating wild watermelon with 150 mM NaCl, but is not inducedfollowing treatment with 100 µM abscisic acid. The salttreatment causes the accumulation of -aminobutyrate, glutamineand alanine, in addition to a smaller amount of citrulline.Citrulline may function as a potent hydroxyl radical scavenger. 相似文献

Abstract: Pachytraga Paquier, 1900, the stratigraphically oldest genus of caprinine caprinid rudist, was previously known from only two chronospecies from a single lineage, that is the Hauterivian P. tubiconcha Astre, 1961 and the early Aptian P. paradoxa (Pictet and Campiche, 1869). Here, a new species, Pachytraga? tanakahitoshii, is erected on the basis of isolated left valves recovered from the Osaka and Sanchu areas, south‐west Japan. This species has a moderate shell size (antero‐posterior commissural diameter c. 30 mm), and its left valve is characterized by at least one possibly autapomorphic character (narrow anterior myophore, inclined inwards), as well as a mosaic of primitive (single longitudinal carina developed on the anterior side) and derived (simple marginal canals in the antero‐dorsal valve margin) characters of Mediterranean and Middle East Tethyan Pachytraga. The Japanese Pachytraga? represents the first probable record of this genus outside the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern Tethyan province, and its early Barremian age partly fills the ‘gap’ in its previously known stratigraphical record, although the evolutionary relationship of the Japanese form with Mediterranean and Middle East Tethyan Pachytraga remains unsolved. However, the discovery of early Barremian Pachytraga? in Japan indicates that the evolutionary history of the genus is more complex than previously thought and should thus be discussed in a broader palaeogeographical context that must now include the Pacific. 相似文献

Four species of archeogastropods, presumed members of threesubfamilies of the trochidae, exhibit significant differencesin developmental modes and shell coiling. All four species havelecithotrophic development which is reflected in their inflatedpausispiral protoconchis; however, Margarites marginatus andLirularia succincta have benthic development in gelatinous masses,while Margarites pupillus and Calliostoma ligatum have pelagicembryos and swimming larvae with a potential for dispersal overa period of a week or longer. These modes cannot be deducedfrom the size of the egg, the size or shape of the protoconch,or the size or relative prominence of female pallial reproductivestructures. The protoconch of C. ligatum is orthostrophicallycoiled, but the protoconchs of the other three species are hyperstrophicallycoiled although their teleconchs are orthostrophic. These threetrochoidean species thus share with architectonicoideans, pyramidelloideans,opisthobranchs, and pulmonates the distinctive shell characterof heterostrophy, previously unreported for archaeogastropods. These observations, considered together with others reportedin the literature, show: (1) that developmental mode (pelagicor benthic) cannot be inferred from protoconch appearance ortaxonomy in major trochoidean ganera; (2) that significant dispersalpotential is present in the histories of some trochoidean archeogastropoids;and (3) that character sets (pallial reproductive structures,pairing during spawning, heterostrophic shell coiling) thoughtnot to occur below the mesogastropod level are found in theTrochoidea. These conclusions bring into question the usefulnessof these characters in defining higher gastropod taxa and raiseadditional questions concerning the ancestry of the higher gastropods.
