Chromosome complements and 2C DNA amounts of six species ofTerminalia have been studied.Terminalia oliveri, T. myriocarpa andT. arjuna are diploid (2n = 24),T. chebula andT. bellirica are tetraploid (2n = 48),T. muelleri shows a triploid number (2n = 36). Two well demarcated groups of species are recognizable on the basis of chromosome length and 2C DNA values which range from 3.60 pg (T. oliveri) to 12.80 pg (T. bellirica) showing a 3.5-fold difference. Differences of DNA per basic genome or per chromosome are greatest (1.97-fold) betweenT. oliveri andT. arjuna. Two species groups (1)T. oliveri andT. chebula, and (2)T. myriocarpa, T. arjuna, T. muelleri, T. bellirica, therefore are well differentiated by DNA per basic genome, irrespective of polyploidy. The mean values of the two groups are 1.81 pg and 3.34 pg, respectively, showing a 1.84-fold difference. Within diploids and tetraploids there is 1.97-fold and 1.76-fold variation, respectively. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers are given for four species ofChaetomorpha from the warm temperate and tropical western Atlantic. The basic chromosome number is six, with three median and three submedian
chromosomes.Chaetomorpha species represent a polyploid series, with numbers of 12, 18 and 24 found in the present study. Microspectrophotometry data
for each species were quantified by reference to standards with known DNA contents. Results indicate similar 2X =1C=12 genome
sizes forC. aerea (0.20 pg) andC. brachygona (0.26 pg), and forC. antennina (0.53 pg) andC. melagonium (0.58 pg). These findings are compared with karyological features ofCladophora species to characterize the karyology of the cladophoralean genome. 相似文献

Trophic relationships between Scorpaena porcus, S. notata and Chelidonichthys lucerna collected near natural gas platforms were investigated for the first time in central Adriatic Sea from July 2005 to May 2006. Sampling was repeated at control sites on soft bottom where, however, only C. lucerna occurred. All of the three predators showed diet specialization for crustaceans, with high overlap for angular crab Goneplax rhomboides. The widest prey variety, consisting mainly of epibenthic and infaunal organisms, was detected in C. lucerna, whose feeding behaviour resulted not to be affected by the presence of platforms. Burrowing shrimp Alpheus glaber, hairy crab Pilumnus hirtellus, bivalve Corbula gibba, and European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus discriminated S. porcus diet, while thalassinid Jaxea nocturna discriminated S. notata diet. The occurrence of E. encrasicolus as natural prey of S. porcus is discussed. Overall, predators like scorpaenids, which live in strict association with platforms in the study area, seem to rely on soft bottom prey items rather than exploiting resources from the platforms, thus competing with soft-bottom predators (i.e. triglids) for the same resources. 相似文献

Karyomorphological comparisons were made of 16 native and cultivated species ofSelaginella in Japan. The somatic chromosome numbers are 2n=16 inS. boninensis; 2n=18 inS. doederleinii, S. helvetica, S. limbata, S. lutchuensis, S. nipponica, S. selaginoides, S. tama-montana, andS. uncinata; 2n=20 inS. biformis, S. involvens, S. moellendorffii, S. remotifolia, andS. tamariscina; 2n=30 inS. rossii; and 2n=32 inS. heterostachys. The interphase nuclei of all species examined are uniformly assigned to the simple chromocenter type. The metaphase karyotype
of 2n=16 (x=8) is 8 m (=median centromeric chromosomes)+8(st+t)(=subterminal and terminal). The group of the species having
2n=18 (x=9) is heterogeneous karyomorphologically: The karyotype ofS. nipponica is 2n=18=6 m+12(st+t),S. tama-montana 10 m+2 sm(=submedian)+6(st+t), andS. uncinata 6 m+7 sm+5(st+t). Although the remaining five species have the common karyotype 8 m+4 sm+6(st+t), the values of mean chromosome
length are variable. Another group of the specles having 2n=20 (x=10) is homogeneous, since all species have the same karyotypes
8 m+4 sm+8(st+t) and have similar chromosome size. The karyotype of 2n=30 is 12 m+6 sm+12(st+t) and is suggested to be a triploid
of x=10, and 2n=32=16m+16(st+t), a tetraploid of x=8. Thus, three kinds of basic chromosome numbers, x=8, 9, 10 are present
in JapaneseSelaginella examined, and their karyomorphological relationships are discussed. 相似文献

The present communication deals with 2C nuclear genome size variation in a fairly small genus Guizotia. Twenty-four accessions belonging to six species, out of seven known, were analysed in order to elucidate the extent of DNA variation both at an intra—as well as interspecific level. At the intraspecific level none of the species exhibited significant differences in their genome size. Between the species, the 2C DNA amounts ranged from 3.61 pg in G. reptans to 11.37 pg in G. zavattarii; over three-fold DNA variation is evident. Apparently these interspecific DNA differences have been achieved independent of the numerical chromosomal change(s), as all the Guizotias share a common chromosome number 2n=2x=30. The cultivated oilseed crop, G. abyssinica (7.57 pg), has accommodated nearly 78% extra DNA in its chromosome complement during the evolutionary time scale of its origin and domestication from the wild progenitor G. schimperi (4.25 pg). The extent of genomic DNA difference(s) between the species has been discussed in the light of their interrelationships and diversity. 相似文献

Karyotypes of three species of the subfamily Clupeinae collected from northern Japan were analyzed by in vitro methods and
their cellular DNA contents were measured using an integrating microdensitometer.Sardinella zunasi andSardinops melanostictus show very similar karyotypes: 2n = 48, consisting of acrocentric or subtelocentric chromosomes with a gradual decrease in
chromosome size, but with differences in cellular DNA of 2.32 and 2.69pg/cell respectively.Clupea pallasii differs from the aforementioned species in karyotype: 2n = 52, consisting of 6 metacentric or submetacentric chromosomes
and 46 acrocentric or subtelocentric chromosomes, with a cellular DNA content of 1.96 pg/cell. The results showed two different
modes in karyological evolution within the subfamily Clupeinae, i.e. an increase of cellular DNA content without apparent
change in karyotype, as shown bySardinella zunasi andSardinops melanostictus, and less change in cellular DNA content but with marked change in karyotype, as shown byClupea pallasii. 相似文献

Karyotypes and cellular DNA contents of three species of the family Cottidae viz.Icelus cataphractus, Gymnocanthus intermedius andAlcichthys alcicornis were analyzed. Structural modifications within the family were supposedly by Robertsonian translocations. The diploid chromosome
numbers were determined to be 48 inAlcichthys alcicornis, 44 inGymnocanthus intermedius and 40 inIcelus cataphractus. The DNA contents ranged from 1.46 to 1.50pg/cell in the three species. The karyotype ofIcelus cataphractus is unique in having the smallest chromosome number (2n = 40) and 14 large-sized chromosomes. From the chromosome number and
the existence of some large chromosome pairs, Robertsonian translocations seem to have occurred frequently inIcelus cataphractus andGymnocanthus intermedius. 相似文献

Some groups of fish, such as those belonging to the Order Tetraodontiformes, may differ significantly in the amount and location of heterochromatin in the chromosomes. There is a marked variation in DNA content of more than seven-fold among the families of this Order. However, the karyoevolutionary mechanisms responsible for this variation are essentially unknown. The largest genomic contents are present in species of the family Ostraciidae (2.20–2.60 pg). The present study cytogenetically characterized two species of the family Ostraciidae, Acanthostracion polygonius and A. quadricornis, using conventional staining, C-bandings, Ag-NOR, CMA3/DAPI, AluI, PstI, EcoRI, TaqI and HinfI restriction enzymes (REs) and double FISH with 18S and 5S rDNA probes. The karyotypes of both species showed 2n = 52 acrocentric chromosomes (FN = 52; chromosome arms) and pronounced conserved structural characteristics. A significant heterochromatic content was observed equilocally distributed in pericentromeric position in all the chromosome pairs. This condition is unusual in relation to the karyotypes of other families of Tetraodontiformes and probability is the cause of the higher DNA content in Ostraciidae. Given the role played by repetitive sequences in the genomic reorganization of this Order, it is suggested that the conspicuous heterochromatic blocks, present in the same chromosomal position and with apparently similar composition, may have arisen or undergo evolutionary changes in concert providing clues about the chromosomal mechanisms which led to extensive variation in genomic content of different Tetraodontiformes families. 相似文献

Schoenus (Cyperaceae) has holocentric chromosomes. Chromosome numbers were counted and nuclear DNA amounts were measured for all the New Zealand species of the genus. Chromosome numbers ranged from 2n = 8 to c. 2n = 90. Two chromosome races, with 2n = 28 and 2n = 56, were found in S. pauciflorus. Flow cytometry using propidium iodide‐stained nuclei was used to measure genome size. A 14.8‐fold variation in 2C DNA content was found, with values ranging from 1.33 to 19.71 pg/2C nucleus. Phylogenetic trees based on sequence variation in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 45S ribosomal DNA locus were constructed using several phylogenetic models to reveal possible evolutionary relationships among the New Zealand Schoenus spp. and a sample of Australian Schoenus spp. Analysis revealed heterogeneity of chromosome number, size and DNA C value within clades. Meiosis in four species showed only bivalent formation at metaphase I. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, 169 , 555–564. 相似文献

Chromosome number changes and karyotype evolution play an important role in plant genome diversification and eventually in speciation. The genus Ajuga L. (Lamiaceae) has approximately 50 species distributed in temperate to subtropical regions. Four of these species are currently recognized in Korea (A. decumbens Thunb., A. multiflora Bunge, A. nipponensis Makino and A. spectabilis Nakai). Understanding the karyotype evolution in Ajuga has been hampered by the small size of their chromosomes and symmetrical karyotypes. Here we used classic Feulgen staining to establish chromosome numbers and construct karyotypes of the four species of Ajuga recognized in Korea and flow cytometry was used to study their variation in genome. The chromosome number of all investigated plants was 2n = 32. Still, the 2C DNA content ranged from 2.18 pg (A. decumbens) to 4.53 pg (A. multiflora). While the chromosome numbers were the same for all investigated species, the genome size variation could potentially be used as a taxonomic marker. 相似文献

Chromosome counts and genome sizes are reported from six species of Leontopodium: five from the centre of diversity in south‐western China, and L. japonicum from cultivation. Previously published chromosome counts for the genus are also compiled. Genome size (1C) in diploids ranges from 0.93 pg (L. dedeckensii) to 1.14 pg (L. cf. stracheyi) and 1.93 pg for tetraploid L. sinense. Leontopodium artemisiifolium had one pair of heteromorphic chromosomes. Leontopodium japonicum accessions showed variation in ploidy levels. Polyploidy, including autopolyploidy, is frequent in the genus. Variation is seen in basic chromosome number, including between species in the centre of diversity of the genus, where x = 12 or 13, but also within species among previously published counts. This variation does not correspond to currently inferred infrageneric groupings, and indicates both the importance of large‐scale chromosome evolution and the need for more in‐depth taxonomic work in a genus that shows little DNA sequence variation. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London 相似文献

Prospero is a Mediterranean autumn-flowering genus ofHyacinthaceae commonly classified inScilla asS. autumnalis andS. obtusifolia. Extensive dysploid and polyploid variation has been reported. In the present study 77 diploid accessions from the western to the eastern part of the area of distribution, the major part being from continental Greece and Crete, have been analysed for karyotype structure and, in part, for genome size. Methods employed were acetocarmine staining, Giemsa C-banding, fluorochrome staining mainly with chromomycin A3/DAPI, silver impregnation, and Feulgen densitometry. Banded idiograms were established with a computer assisted karyotype analysis procedure. Chromosome numbers were 2n = 8 inP. obtusifolium, and 2n = 12 and 14 inP. autumnale s. l. Dispensable euchromatic chromosome segments and different types of B chromosomes occurred. Among the cytotypes with 2n = 14 two karyotypes from Turkey differed from each other and from the rest in form, position of the nucleolar constriction, and in genome size. The remaining accessions were similar in karyotype shape but three levels of genome size could be discerned, the highest (1C = 7.50 pg) being found on the Iberian Peninsula, an intermediate one on Corsica and Malta, and the lowest (4.27 pg) in the Aegean. The karyotype with 2n = 12 had an intermediate genome size, and that ofP. obtusifolium a relatively low one. Heterochromatin amount was generally low, but some karyotypes showed characteristic banding patterns. The relationship between the chromosome complements with 2n = 14, 12 and 8 is discussed on the basis of idiograms and DNA amounts.The authors respectfully dedicate this papers to emer. o.

Genome size in gymnosperms 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The DNA 2C and per chromosome values of 57 species belonging to 22 genera of gymnosperms have been analysed. The overall range is 12-fold with a modal value of about 30.0 pg.Cycadales exhibit a 2-fold difference. AmongConiferales with a 4-fold variation, thePinaceae have higher mean DNA contents as well as a greater range and diversity than other families. Remarkable interspecific differences are found inCycas, Picea, Larix, Pinus, Callitris, Cupressus, andChamaecyparis. Despite this, there is a constancy of basikaryotypes within these genera.Gnetum shows a distinctly low DNA value. 相似文献

Abstract: Genome size was determined in thirty Austrian species of Sphagnum, using Feulgen absorbance photometry conducted on a video-based image analysis system (CIRES), and for comparison on a scanning cytophotometer (Leitz MPV II) with strongly correlated results. Pisum sativum (1C = 4.42pg DNA) was used for internal standardization. Between species, two levels of ploidy, haploid and diploid, could be unambiguously identified (although this identification remains, strictly speaking, hypothetical, as long as exact parallel chromosome counts are not available). Twenty-six haploid species yielded values from 0.392 pg to 0.506 pg DNA (1C), and four diploid species (including two varieties of S. palustre) from 0.814 pg to 0.952 pg. The average ratio between levels was 1:2.049. Variation between species within sections was lower than between sections. In some cases significant differences between accessions of one species were found. The genome size of Sphagnum palustre presented here strongly deviates from one estimate of this species in the literature. 相似文献

Two closely related spruces, Picea abies and Picea omorika, a Balkan paleoendemic species, often share habitats, yet never hybridize in nature. The present study adresses their characteristics
such as nuclear DNA content, base composition, heterochromatin and rDNA pattern. The genome size of P. abies was 10% larger than that of P. omorika when assessed by flow cytometry, respectively 2C=37.2 pg and 33.8 pg; although when estimated as total chromosome length
it was virtually the same. The heterochromatin Chromomycin-A (CMA)/ DAPI fluorochrome banding patterns of both P. abies and P. omorika are given here for the first time. Simultaneous FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) using 18S-26S and 5S rDNA probes
revealed 16 18S rDNA sites in P. omorika, 12 18S rDNA sites in P. abies, and a single 5S rDNA locus in both species. The genomes have about 41% GC. The number and position of CMA/DAPI bands and
rDNA loci provide good chromosome markers to clarify the karyotypes of the two species.

DNA contents have been determined cytophotometrically in the three Central European, relatedScilla speciesS. bifolia (2n = 18, 2 x, 1 C = 6.2 pg),S. drunensis (2n = 36, 4 x, 1 C = 12.8 pg), andS. vindobonensis (2n = 18, 2 x, 1 C = 9.4 pg). The tetraploid speciesS. drunensis contains twice as much DNA as the diploidS. bifolia. However, the diploid speciesS. vindobonensis differs in DNA content fromS. bifolia by a factor of about 1.5. This difference is largely due to euchromatic DNA, although the higher DNA content inS. vindobonensis is combined with higher heterochromatin content. The data indicate thatS. bifolia andS. drunensis on the one hand, andS. vindobonensis on the other hand are phyletically well separated. Previous taxonomic conclusions from morphology as well as C-banding are thus corroborated.Evolution ofScilla and Related Genera, V. 相似文献

Cytogenetical investigations, so far, on the organisation and evolution of the genomes of Vigna species have proved difficult due to small chromosome size, large chromosome number and uniformity in chromosome shape and size within and between the complements. In this investigation the nature and extent of DNA variation between thirteen diploid and one polyploid species have been estimated. The DNA variation between diploid species was small and species clustered around a mean value of 2.7 pg. The polyploid species had a greater DNA value of 4.95 pg. No significant variation in 2C DNA content was found between accessions of V. radiata. A comparison of the distribution of DNA among the chromosomes within complements has shown that the excess DNA acquired in evolution was distributed evenly in all chromosomes despite significant differences in chromosome size. The relative changes in chromatin area and DNA density which accompany evolutionary DNA variation was also compared. 相似文献

The DNA content and GC% of the four true cedar (Cedrus) species, C. atlantica, C. brevifolia, C. deodara and C. libani, were assessed. Genome size was homogeneous among representative populations of the four species with an average of 32.6±0.6
pg per 2 C or 15.7×109 base pairs per 1 C. The composition in GC was calculated to be 40.7%. A simple monosomatic haploid level was found in the
megagametophyte, as compared to the diploid level of the corresponding embryo. Cytogenetic studies showed a diploid chromosome
number of 2n=2x=24 in 11 populations sampled over the four species. The chromosome complements have similar morphology and
symmetry. However, fluorochromes revealed specific banding patterns in each of the four cedar species. Eight GC-rich chromomycin
A3 bands were observed in Cedrus deodara chromosomes, six in both Cedrus libani and Cedrus brevifolia, and four bands in Cedrus atlantica chromosomes. Moreover, Hoechst 33258 fluorochrome revealed AT-rich sequences specifically located in the centromeric regions
while the GC-rich sequences appeared negatively stained. These investigations provide a systematic characterisation of the
Cedrus genus and should contribute towards clarification of the phylogenetic relationships among the four species.

Quantitatively evaluated C-banded and conventional karyograms are presented for the related speciesScilla bifolia subsp.danubialis
Speta,S. drunensis (Speta)Speta, andS. vindobonensis
Speta. On the basis of banding patterns and karyotype structureS. bifolia subsp.danubialis (2n = 18, 2×) andS. drunensis (2n = 36, 4×) are quite similar, whileS. vindobonensis (2n = 18, 2×) is entirely different. There is a moderate degree of karyotypic variation withinS. bifolia subsp.danubialis andS. drunensis. However, inS. vindobonensis karyotypes and banding patterns are almost completely stable over a geographical range of about 500 km. The present results confirm the recent taxonomic separation ofS. vindobonensis fromS. bifolia, and suggest a considerable phylogenetic distance between these two diploid species. The results are discussed with reference to the morphological characters of the species and their geographical distribution.Evolution ofScilla and Related Genera, II.Dedicated to Univ.-Prof. Dr.Elisabeth Tschermak-Woess on the occasion of her 60th birthday. 相似文献
