The key process in speciation concerns the formation and maintenance of reproductive isolating barriers between diverging lineages. Although species boundaries are frequently investigated between two species across many taxa, reproductive isolating barriers among multiple species (>2) that would represent the most common phenomenon in nature, remain to be clarified. Here, we use double digest restriction‐site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing to examine patterns of hybridization at a sympatric site where three Ligularia species grow together and verify whether those patterns contribute to the maintenance of boundaries among species. The results based on the RAD SNP datasets indicated hybridization Ligularia cyathiceps × L. duciformis and L. duciformis × L. yunnanensis were both restricted to F1s plus a few first‐generation backcrosses and no gene introgression were identified, giving rise to strong reproductive isolation among hybridizing species. Moreover, hybrid swarm simulation, using HYBRIDLAB, indicated the RAD SNP datasets had sufficient discriminatory power for accurate hybrid detection. We conclude that parental species show strong reproductive isolation and they still maintain species boundaries, which may be the key mechanism to maintain species diversity of Ligularia in the eastern Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau and adjacent areas. Moreover, this study highlights the effectiveness of RAD sequencing in hybridization studies. 相似文献

Arsenic in the liver, kidney and muscle of three species of sea turtles, e.g., green turtles (Chelonia mydas), loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) and hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), were determined using HG-AAS, followed by arsenic speciation analysis using HPLC-ICP-MS. The order of arsenic concentration in tissues was muscle > kidney > liver. Unexpectedly, the arsenic concentrations in the hawksbill turtles feeding mainly on sponges were higher than the two other turtles primarily eating algae and mollusk which accumulate a large amount of arsenic. Especially, the muscles of the hawksbill turtles contained remarkably high arsenic concentrations averaging 153 mg kg–1 dry weight with the range of 23.1–205 mg kg–1 (n=4), even in comparison with the data from other organisms. The arsenic concentrations in the tissues of the green turtles were significantly decreased with standard carapace length as an indicator of growth. In arsenic compounds, arsenobetaine was mostly detected in the tissues of all the turtles. Besides arsenobetaine, a small amount of dimethylarsinic acid was also observed in the hawksbill turtles. 相似文献

The effect of chlorhexidine (CHX), a potent antibacterial agent, was tested on the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of fructans synthesized by cell-free fructosyltransferase (FTF) in solution in comparison to FTF immobilized onto hydroxyapatite (HA). Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis has shown that cell-free FTF, both in solution and immobilized on HA, produces both low MW (1.9-2.2 kDa) and high MW (913-1047 kDa) fructans. CHX at a concentration of 0.02% altered the MWD of the fructans by reducing the polydispersity ratio and changing the MWD of the fructans synthesized both by immobilized FTF and by FTF in solution. These changes of the fructans in the presence of CHX adds a new prospective to the anticaries effect of CHX in addition to its antibacterial properties. 相似文献

Polyacetylenes are a group of fatty-acid derived specialized metabolites with several C–C-triple bonds and derived compounds which are widely distributed in the plant kingdom, but are especially abundant and structurally diverse in the Asteraceae family. Despite their interesting structural and biological properties, the biosynthesis of polyacetylenes is only poorly understood. We have used three species of the Asteraceae (Carthamus tinctorius, Tagetes patula, and Arctium lappa) to compare their suitability for studies of polyacetylene biosynthesis when used after cultivation on soil or as tissue culture. The polyacetylene profiles detected in different plant parts together with information from the literature indicate that C. tinctorius seedlings and flowers as well as T. patula roots and flower buds are major sites of polyacetylene biosynthesis. Highest levels of polyacetylenes were detected in T. patula [about 30 µmol/g dry weight (d.w.) thiophenes in roots] while A. lappa contained less than 1 µmol/g d.w.. Methyljasmonate (MeJ)-induced T. patula hairy root cultures proved to be an excellent source of butenynyl-bithiophene (200 µmol/g d.w., 43 mg/g d.w.) while T. patula flower buds could serve as a source of pentenynyl-bithiophene and α-terthienyl (5–10 µmol/g d.w.) and C. tinctorius flowers or seedlings as a source of polyacetylenic C13 hydrocarbons, the biosynthetic precursors of thiophenes (5–10 µmol/g d.w.). Upon addition of elicitors to tissue cultures, highest elicitation factors (between four and seven) were reached for 1,11-tridecadiene-3,5,7,9-tetrayne in C. tinctorius cell suspension cultures with 40 µM MeJ and α-terthienyl in T. patula hairy root cultures with 100 µM MeJ. 相似文献

1. A rough inverse correlation between liver serine dehydratase activity and species body size was observed with mammals. This was not found for glutamate, malate or lactate dehydrogenase, fumarase or aspartate-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Serine dehydratase (and certain liver aminotransferases showing a similar species-size dependence) may have a role in the stimulation of heat production. 2. Cold-exposed rats showed a 3-4 fold increase in serine dehydratase activity. 3. No liver serine dehydratase was measurable in amphibia. 4. In mammals high liver serine-pyruvate aminotransferase is associated with a flesh-eating dietary habit. High activity was found in amphibia and goldfish. A gluconeogenic role is suggested. 相似文献

Intergenic spacers of the rRNA genes of three species of theCynareae tribe:Cynara cardunculus subsp.scolymus (artichoke),Onopordum acanthium, andO. illyricum were cloned in the plasmid pGEM-7zf(+). Detailed restriction mapping and partial sequencing of the IGSs were carried out. The structural analysis showed a clear diversity betweenCynara andOnopordum, while a high degree of homology was found between the twoOnopordum spp. In all three species a fragment of about 450 bp from the 5 end of 18S to the Acc I site with a high sequence homology was present. Nucleotide sequences upstream from the above mentioned Acc I site show a gradual decrease of homology betweenCynara andOnopordum. 相似文献

The exo-beta-1,3-glucanase of Candida albicans (Exg) has a marked specificity for beta-1,3-glucosidic linkages as judged by the kinetic constants for p-nitophenyl beta-glucoside, beta-linked disaccharides of glucose (laminaribiose, gentiobiose, and cellobiose), oligosaccharides of the laminari series, laminarin and pustulan. The kcat/Km ratios for a series of laminari oligosaccharides from -biose to -heptaose showed that Exg has an extended substrate-binding site which contains at least five binding sites for sugar residues. Binding at position +2 (the third sugar residue) increases the kcat twofold while positions +3 and +4 lower the Km value further and thereby increase the catalytic efficiency. Exg catalyses an efficient transglucosylation reaction with high concentrations of laminari-oligosaccharides which specifically form beta-1,3 linkages and with yields up to 50%. The rate of the transglucosylation is concentration-dependent and can be more than 10 times faster than the hydrolytic reaction with excess donor substrates such as laminaritriose and laminarihexaose. The kinetics of Exg and the predicted substrate-binding site for up to five sugar residues are consistent with a recent structural analysis of the enzyme-binding site. 相似文献

The number of nucleoli in a cell and nucleolar area vary according to the cell. We compared nucleoli in mammalian circulating lymphocytes and insect circulating haemocytes. An increased nucleolar coefficient correlated with a lowered nucleoli size. The smaller nucleolar size in mammalian lymphocytes indicates a lower proteosynthetic cellular activity in both mammalian lymphocytes and insect haemocytes. Moreover, in insect haemocytes, the smaller size of the nucleoli may reflect a lowered potential to transform into another cell type. 相似文献

Food consumption of ants was measured in artificial nests with colonies of different sizes and with different numbers of queens to determine which of three species of ants might prove the better predator for the control of harmful insects and to determine the queen: worker ratio and colony size best suited to establish colonies of these ants. A 50% honey solution and laboratory reared house fly larvae were the only food sources.In one experiment colonies of Formica exsectoides consumed approximately three times as many prey larvae as did comparable colonies of F. fusca. The consumption by F. exsectoides probably would have been greater had the number of larvae fed not been limited.In a second experiment large colonies of F. exsectoides consumed proportionately more prey than the small colonies; the reverse was true for F. polyctena. There were no differences in the prey consumption by all nests of F. exsectoides as compared with all nests of F. polyctena. Neither the number of queens nor the initial number of workers per colony of F. polyctena or F. exsectoides influenced the growth of the colonies.Individuals of both species consumed proportionately less honey solution in large colonies than in small ones.
Zusammenfassung In künstlichen Nestern mit Kolonien verschiedener Größe und mit unterschiedlichen Anzahlen von Königinnen wurde der Nahrungsverbrauch der Ameisen bestimmt, um festzustellen, welche der drei Ameisenarten sich als besserer Prädator zur Bekämpfung schädlicher Insekten erwiese, und um das geeignete Königin-Arbeiterinnen-Verhältnis und die Koloniegröße zu ermitteln, die zur Koloniegründung dieser Ameisen am besten geeignet sind. Eine 50% ige Honiglösung und im Labor gezüchtete Stubenfliegenmaden waren die alleinigen Nahrungsquellen.In einem Versuch verzehrten Kolonien von Formica exsectoides Forel annähernd dreimal so viel Beutelarven wie vergleichbare Kolonien von F. fusca (L.). Dabei wäre der Nahrungsverbrauch von F. exsectoides wahrscheinlich noch größer gewesen, wenn nicht die Anzahl der gefütterten Maden begrenzt gewesen wäre.In einem zweiten Experiment verbrauchten große Kolonien von F. exsectoides verhältnismäßig mehr Beute als kleine Kolonien, während für F. polyctena Foerst. das Umgekehrte galt. Es bestanden keine Unterschiede im Beuteverzehr bei allen Nestern von F. exsectoides verglichen mit allen Nestern von F. polyctena. Weder die Anzahl der Königinnen noch die Anfangszahl der Arbeiterinnen je Kolonie beeinflußten das Wachstum der Kolonien von F. polyctena und F. exsectoides.Individuen beider Arten verzehrten in großen Kolonien verhältnismäßig weniger Honiglösung als in kleinen.相似文献

Thirty-three populations belonging to the three Retama species, Retama monosperma, Retama raetam and Retama sphaerocarpa, were collected to study species differentiation using flow cytometry for 2C DNA assessment and molecular cytogenetics for
karyotype organisation. All were 2n = 48. Genome size ranged from 1.76 to 1.97 pg and revealed significant intraspecific variation
correlated to the geographic distribution of the populations. The number and position of the two ribosomal gene families 5S
and 45S were determined by fluorescent in situ hybridization, revealing chromosome reorganisation between species. In R. raetam and R. monosperma, the minor 5S loci co-localised with 45S on the satellite chromosome pair. Fluorochrome banding identified GC- and AT-rich
DNA regions. In R. monosperma a unique chromomycin positive GC-rich band was observed associated with the secondary constriction. In contrast, an original
pattern showing two chromomycin positive bands localised at each side of the extended rDNA locus was observed in R. sphaerocarpa and R. raetam. The polymorphism revealed in our cytogenetic data allowed us to separate the group of R. raetam and R. monosperma from R. sphaerocarpa. 相似文献

Many studies have focused on the ecology of seed dimorphism, the production of two seed types by a single plant. Morphology and seed size are usually correlated, but how morphology affects germination percentage and seedling growth is poorly understood. Here we explicitly separate these effects for nine populations of the dimorphic species Tragopogon pratensis subsp. pratensis. Larger seeds yielded higher germination percentages, yet seed morphology had no additional direct effect on germination. Neither seed size nor seed morphology affected seedling growth. Neither germination nor seedling growth varied among populations, but seed head varied significantly. Results show that germination is mainly controlled by seed size rather than by seed morphology. This study is one of the few to distinguish explicitly between seed size and seed morphology effects on ecological characteristics and suggests that seed dimorphism may exert its ecological effects predominantly through its correlated size. 相似文献

Genome size was estimated by flow cytometry in 24 populations belonging to 22 Artemisia taxa (21 species, 1 with two subspecies), which represent the distinct subgenera, life forms, basic chromosome numbers, and ploidy levels in the genus. 2C nuclear DNA content values range from 3.5 to 25.65 pg, which represents a more than sevenfold variation. DNA content per haploid genome ranges from 1.75 to 5.76 pg. DNA amount is very well correlated with karyotype length and ploidy level. Some variations in genome size have systematic and evolutionary implications, whereas others are linked to ecological selection pressures. 相似文献

以糍粑沟花楸(Sorbus cibagouensis H.Peng&Z.J.Yin)、大理花楸(S.hypoglauca(Cardot)Hand.-Mazz.)和川滇花楸(S.vilmorinii C.K.Schneid.)为材料,采用流式细胞术对其基因组大小及倍性进行检测分析,同时应用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜对其气孔特征进行观察。结果显示,3种花楸属植物的基因组大小和倍性、气孔特征均存在一定差异。糍粑沟花楸、大理花楸和川滇花楸的基因组大小分别为:(1.480±0.039)pg、(1.513±0.041)pg、(2.675±0.065)pg,在此基础上推断糍粑沟花楸和大理花楸为二倍体、川滇花楸为四倍体植物。显微镜观测发现:3种花楸属植物的气孔器均分布于叶的下表皮,气孔不下陷,保卫细胞无“T”型加厚结构,气孔类型为无规则形;糍粑沟花楸和川滇花楸的气孔器外拱盖光滑,而大理花楸气孔器外拱盖具有短棒状蜡质纹饰;3种植物的气孔器大小存在极显著差异。研究结果表明花楸属植物的基因组大小与倍性呈显著正相关,可用于推断植物的倍性;而气孔器大小和密度与倍性的相关性不大,但气孔特性在种间变化显著,可为种的鉴定提供科学的理论依据。 相似文献
