Phylogenetically tetraploid species of the fish order Isospondyli generally have twice the mean ribosomal gene content as closely related species on the phylogenetically diploid level. Considerable intraspecific variation of rDNA amount was observed. These findings are discussed in view of the hypothesis that selective loss of ribosomal genes may account for diminishing genic activity in phylogenetically tetraploid organisms.This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. 相似文献

Ribosomal RNA of the diploid amphibian species Hyla chrysoscelis and Odontophrynus americanus is structurally modified by hidden breaks. Phylogenetically polyploid related species like the tetraploid Hyla versicolor, the tetraploid Odontophrynus americanus and the octoploid Ceratophrys ornata do not show hidden breaks in ribosomal RNA. Structural modifications of rRNA molecules in diploid amphibians has no detectable effect on the ribosomal activity in vitro. 相似文献

Twelve Nicotiana species, and haploids obtained by anther culture from three of these species, were assayed for the proportion of DNA complementary to ribosomal RNA. No variation was observed in the proportion of DNA coding for ribosomal RNA between diploid and haploid plants within a given species. Wide variation was observed in this proportion between the species with values ranging between 0.068% and 0.43% of the total DNA. No relationship between the proportion of DNA complementary to rRNA and the chromosome number of the species was observed. 相似文献

Methionine limitation during growth and sporulation of a methionine-requiring diploid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes two significant changes in the normal synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA). First, whereas 18S ribosomal RNA is produced, there is no significant accumulation of either 26S ribosomal RNA or 5.8S RNA. The effect of methionine on the accumulation of these RNA species occurs after the formation of a common 35S precursor molecule which is still observed in the absence of methionine. During sporulation, diploid strains of S. cerevisiae produce a stable, virtually unmethylated 20S RNA which has previously been shown to be largely homologous to methylated 18S ribosomal RNA. The appearance of this species is not affected by the presence or absence of methionine from sporulation medium. However, when exponentially growing vegetative cells are starved for methionine, unmethylated 20S RNA is found. The 20S RNA, which had previously been observed only in cells undergoing sporulation, accumulates at the same time as a methylated 18S RNA. These effects on ribosomal RNA synthesis are specific for methionine limitation, and are not observed if protein synthesis is inhibited by cycloheximide or if cells are starved for a carbon source or for another amino acid. The phenomena are not marker specific as analogous results have been obtained for both a methionine-requiring diploid homozygous for met13 and a diploid homozygous for met2. The results demonstrate that methylation of ribosomal RNA or other methionine-dependent events plays a critical role in the recognition and processing of ribosomal precursor RNA to the final mature species. 相似文献

A repetitive sequence, pAs17, was isolated from Avena strigosa (As genome) and characterized. The insert was 646 bp in length and showed 54% AT content. Databank searches revealed its high homology to the long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences of the specific family of Ty1-copia retrotransposons represented by WIS2-1A and Bare. It was also found to be 70% identical to the LTR domain of the WIS2-1A retroelement of wheat and 67% identical to the Bare-1 retroelement of barley. Southern hybridizations of pAs17 to diploid (A or C genomes), tetraploid (AC genomes), and hexaploid (ACD genomes) oat species revealed that it was absent in the C diploid species. Slot-blot analysis suggested that both diploid and tetraploid oat species contained 1.3 x 10(4) copies, indicating that they are a component of the A-genome chromosomes. The hexaploid species contained 2.4 x 10(4) copies, indicating that they are a component of both A- and D-genome chromosomes. This was confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization analyses using pAs17, two ribosomal sequences, and a C-genome specific sequence as probes. Further, the chromosomes involved in three C-A and three C-D intergenomic translocations in Avena murphyi (AC genomes) and Avena sativa cv. Extra Klock (ACD genomes), respectively, were identified. Based on its physical distribution and Southern hybridization patterns, a parental retrotransposon represented by pAs17 appears to have been active at least once during the evolution of the A genome in species of the Avena genus. 相似文献

Summary The genetic relationships between two Prunus species, involved in rootstock breeding, were examined at the level of the ribosomal RNA genes. Twenty clones of P. cerasifera, a diploid species, and 12 clones of P. spinosa, a tetraploid wild species, were studied. The use of three heterologous ribosomal DNA probes covering different regions of the ribosomal tandem repeats enabled us to construct restriction maps for EcoRI and BamHI. We identified two unit types (unit I and unit II) in P. cerasifera. In P. spinosa, P. cerasifera units were present in addition to a third ribosomal unit type (unit III). These results appeared to confirm previous cytological studies (Salesses 1973) indicating that one of the genomes in P.spinosa has homology with the one from P. cerasifera. 相似文献

Elimination and rearrangement of parental rDNA in the allotetraploid Nicotiana tabacum. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Origin and rearrangement of ribosomal DNA repeats in natural allotetraploid Nicotiana tabacum are described. Comparative sequence analysis of the intergenic spacer (IGS) regions of Nicotiana tomentosiformis (the paternal diploid progenitor) and Nicotiana sylvestris (the maternal diploid progenitor) showed species-specific molecular features. These markers allowed us to trace the molecular evolution of parental rDNA in the allopolyploid genome of N. tabacum; at least the majority of tobacco rDNA repeats originated from N. tomentosiformis, which endured reconstruction of subrepeated regions in the IGS. We infer that after hybridization of the parental diploid species, rDNA with a longer IGS, donated by N. tomentosiformis, dominated over the rDNA with a shorter IGS from N. sylvestris; the latter was then eliminated from the allopolyploid genome. Thus, repeated sequences in allopolyploid genomes are targets for molecular rearrangement, demonstrating the dynamic nature of allopolyploid genomes. 相似文献

In phylogenetically diploid and tetraploid Cyprinid fish species, erythrocyte volumes, protein contents, and mean activities of the enzymes LDH, 6PGD, and PGI per cell per active gene locus decline with increasing DNA contents. These findings are assumed to reflect an evolutionary tendency of polyploids to regulate their genic activity down to the level of the diploids. 相似文献

Differential replication of ribosomal gene repeats in polytene nuclei of Drosophila. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
The genes coding for the 18S and 28S rRNAs in D. melanogaster were examined using Southern transfers of DNA from diploid or polytene tissue. A ribosomal gene repeat 12 kb in length is present in DNA from diploid tissue of males and is the major repeat on the Y chromosome. This repeat is present in low amounts on the X chromosome, which contains major repeats of 17 and 11.5 kb. In polytene nuclei of males, the 12 kb band is disproportionately replicated, and only a very low amount of the 11.5 kb repeat and no 17 kb repeat are detected. Polytene nuclei of females contain reduced amounts of the 17 kb repeat relative to the 11.5 kb repeat. This disproportionate replication of specific ribosomal gene repeats suggests that polytenization of the rDNA may involve an extrachromosomal mechanism. Evidence that genes from only one nucleolus organizer are replicated during polytenization in X/Y and X/X flies is discussed. A method for analyzing DNA from tissue of individual larvae was developed to test for population heterogeneity in ribosomal gene structure. Heterogeneity was observed in the ribosomal genes of three Ore R lines, four other D. melanogaster strains and between males and females of the same strain. 相似文献

Ribosomal RNA genes were exploited as markers to identify somatic hybrids between Solanum tuberosum cv. Brodick and wild diploid Solanum species, S. megistacrolobum, S. sanctae-rosae and S. sparsipilum and DNA methylation as a possible regulatory factor in gene expression was investigated. Specific restriction enzyme/probe combinations revealed useful polymorphisms in the conserved coding and variable intergenic spacer regions of the ribosomal RNA genes. Some intermediate ribosomal RNA gene profiles indicate hybridity whereas others were characteristic of S. tuberosum cv. Brodick. This evidence is suggestive of somatic exchange/re-arrangement between the NOR region of S. sanctae-rosae and S. tuberosum cv. Brodick. Ribosomal RNA gene copy number analysis of the somatic hybrids did not reveal hexaploid values suggesting that these products are not symmetric hybrids derived from the parental diploid and tetraploid plants. The results indicate site-specific methylation of ribosomal RNA gene sequences for the parental plants; while some somatic hybrids display a reduction, others show an increase. The significance of the findings for somatic cell genetics and plant breeding studies is discussed. 相似文献

Hybridization between the viviparous fishes Poeciliopsis monacha and P. lucida of northwestern Mexico has resulted in the formation of diploid and triploid all-female ‘species’, P. monacha-lucida and P. monacha-2 lucida. These females reproduce by mating back to P. lucida, and are essentially clonally reproducing sexual parasites superimposed on that species. In a series of behavioural experiments, one diploid clone proved to be significantly more aggressive than one triploid and four other diploid clones. No differences in aggression were exhibited among the other five clones. The aggressiveness of this one clone may explain why only two clones live in the small tributary where it is found but up to 10 diploid and triploid clones occur where it is absent. 相似文献

Karyotypic and cytogenetic characteristics of Vimba vimba and V. elongata were investigated using differential staining techniques (sequential C-banding, Ag- and CMA3-staining) and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with 28S rDNA probe. The diploid chromosome number in both species was 2n = 50 with 8 pairs of metacentrics, 14 pairs of submetacentrics to subtelocentrics and 3 pairs of subtelo- to acrocentrics. The largest chromosome pair of the complements was characteristically subtelo- to acrocentric. The nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) in both species were detected in the telomeres of a single, middle-sized subtelocentric chromosome pair, a pattern common in a number of other Leuciscinae. FISH with rDNA probe produced consistently positive hybridization signals detected in the same regions indicated by Ag-staining and CMA3-fluorescence. The distribution of C-positive heterochromatin was identical in both species, including a conspicuous size polymorphism of heterochromatic blocks in the largest metacentric and subtelo- to acrocentric chromosomal pairs. No heteromorphic sex chromosomes were detected. A single analyzed individual of V. melanops possessed the same karyotype and NOR phenotype as V. vimba and V. elongata. The apparent karyotype homogeneity and chromosomal characteristics of ribosomal DNA in all three species of the genus Vimba is consistent to that found in most other representatives of the European leuciscine cyprinid fishes. 相似文献

Ancestry of American polyploid Hordeum species with the I genome inferred from 5S and 18S-25S rDNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
* BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The genus Hordeum exists at three ploidy levels (2x, 4x and 6x) and presents excellent material for investigating the patterns of polyploid evolution in plants. Here the aim was to clarify the ancestry of American polyploid species with the I genome. * METHODS: Chromosomal locations of 5S and 18S-25S ribosomal RNA genes were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). In both polyploid and diploid species, variation in 18S-25S rDNA repeated sequences was analysed by the RFLP technique. * KEY RESULTS: Six American tetraploid species were divided into two types that differed in the number of rDNA sites and RFLP profiles. Four hexaploid species were similar in number and location of both types of rDNA sites, but the RFLP profiles of 18S-25S rDNA revealed one species, H. arizonicum, with a different ancestry. * CONCLUSIONS: Five American perennial tetraploid species appear to be alloploids having the genomes of an Asian diploid H. roshevitzii and an American diploid species. The North American annual tetraploid H. depressum is probably a segmental alloploid combining the two closely related genomes of American diploid species. A hexaploid species, H. arizonicum, involves a diploid species, H. pusillum, in its ancestry; both species share the annual growth habit and are distributed in North America. Polymorphisms of rDNA sites detected by FISH and RFLP analyses provide useful information to infer the phylogenetic relationships of I-genome Hordeum species because of their highly conserved nature during polyploid evolution. 相似文献

1. Within the teleostean family Cyprinidae, diploid species occur with wide variation in genome size. There also exist species which were anciently tetraploid. 2. The quantitative changes of DNA content in the diploids are primarily due to differences in the amount of intermediately repeated DNA. DNA sequence composition of the ancient tetraploid genomes suggests that the species derived from diploid ancestors of small genome size. 3. The average base composition and the base compositional heterogeneity are similar in all the species examined. 相似文献

1. About 15% of nucleolar DNA (1.712 g/cm3) from Physarum polycephalum displaying maximum hybridization to ribosomal RNA, is composed of circular DNA of 3.9 +/- 0.2 mum contour length or multiples thereof. 2. A portion of these circular molecules (25%) contained linear DNA pieces longer than circumference length. In a small fraction of circular DNA linear pieces, shorter than the unit length, were observed. 3. Most nucleolar DNA, [3H]thymidine-labeled or hybridizable to ribosomal RNA was separable from chromosomal DNA during G2 phase, mitosis and S phase of the cell cycle. 4. Ribosomal DNA content was not amplified during the cell cycle, was unchanged during exponential or stationary growth phase and amounted to about 0.11 -- 0.21% of nuclear DNA in diploid and hexaploid strains of Physarum or 100--200 ribosomal genes per diploid genome. 相似文献

Distribution of rDNA loci in the genus Glycine Willd. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The objective of this study was to examine the distribution of rDNA loci in the genus Glycine Willd. by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal
DNA as a probe. The hybridized rDNA probe produced two distinct yellow signals on reddish chromosomes representing two NORs
in 16 diploid (2n=40) species. Aneudiploid (2n=38) and aneutetraploid (2n=78) Glycine tomentella Hayata also exhibited two rDNA sites. However, the probe hybridized with four chromosomes as evidenced by four signals in
two diploid species (Glycine curvata Tind. and Glycine cyrtoloba Tind.) and tetraploid (2n=80) G. tabacina (Labill.) Benth. and G. tomentella. Synthesized amphiploids (2n=80) of Glycine canescens F. J. Herm. (2n=40) and the 40-chromosome G. tomentella also showed four signals. This study demonstrates that the distribution of the rDNA gene in the 16 Glycine species studied is highly conserved and that silence of the rDNA locus may be attributed to amphiplasty during diploidization
and speciation.

Using the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and the chloroplasttrnL-F sequence, phylogeneic analysis was performed on 57 accessions of species in the tribe Triticeae including 13 Leymus species (N(s)) with different ploidy levels and 40 diploid species from 18 genera. The ITS sequences revealed that ployploid Leymus has close phylogentic relationships with Psathyrostachys and an undefined genus in Triticeae. The trnL-F tree demonstrated close relationships between certain Leymus species and Psathyrostachys, and other Leymus species distributed in North America were far from Psathyrostachys. Based on these results, it is unlikely that the unknown genome in Leymus species originated from one of the sampled diploid species in the present study. The maternal donor of all the Leymus species with a natural distribution in Eurasia were N(s) genome. Furthermore, Elymus californicus should be transferred from the genus Elymus to Leymus. 相似文献

The ribosomal RNA gene expression in the genomes of evolutionary diploid (Scardinius erythrophthalmus, Leucaspius delineatus, Tinca tinca) and polyploid species (Cyprinus carpio, Carassius carassius, Carassius auratus gibelio, Carassius auratus auratus) of Cyprinidae has been investigated by means of a silver nitrate technique. The diploid species investigated exhibited only one pair of chromosomes with nucleolus organizers (NOR). Higher numbers of rRNA-expressing chromosomal sites in several evolutionary polyploid species (Carassins) gave evidence against a complete functional diploidization, at least with regard to the NOR bearing chromosomes in these species. The NORs displayed a heterochromatic brilliant chromomycin A3 fluorescence. No distamycin-A/DAPI-bright heterochromatic blocks were detected in the genomes of the Cyprinidae. 相似文献

Sequences of both internal and external transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA were sequenced for four species belonging to the Dactylorhiza maculata group or "spotted marsh-Orchids". These four species are D. fuchsii, D. saccifera, D. foliosa, and D. maculata. Extensive nuclear ribosomal DNA polymorphism was uncovered within the diploid D. fuchsii and the putative autotetraploid D. maculata. Within the phylogenetic trees reconstructed using parsimony and Bayesian analyses, four main lineages (A, B, C, and D) were well supported. While D. saccifera, D. maculata, and D. foliosa were confined to clades B, C, and D, respectively, D. fuchsii accessions were spread over three clades (A, B, and C). Lineage C, which included accessions of the diploid D. fuchsii and the tetraploid D. maculata, was closely related to the lineage of D. foliosa (lineage D), an endemic diploid species from Madeira. Moreover, intra-individual polymorphism was found within accessions of D. maculata, D. fuchsii, and D. saccifera. It is shown that in some instances two lineages, contributed to the observed intra-individual polymorphism (C and A in D. maculata, A and B in D. fuchsii and D. saccifera). Evolutionary scenarios leading to this extensive nuclear ribosomal DNA polymorphism are discussed in the light of results from maternally inherited chloroplast DNA markers and an autopolyploid origin of D. maculata from a D. foliosa-like ancestor is postulated. 相似文献
