DNA content was estimated by flow cytometry in seventeen taxa from the Dilatata, Quadrifaria and Paniculata groups of Paspalum and five synthetic hybrids. Results were compared to known genome constitutions and phylogenetic relationships. DNA 2C-values
ranged from 1.24 pg in diploid P. juergensii to 3.79 pg in a hexaploid biotype of P. dilatatum. The I genome of three Quadrifaria diploids is 1.2 to 1.5-fold larger than the J genome of P. juergensii (Paniculata). The 2C-values of the IIJJ tetraploids of the Dilatata group are lower than expected based on putative genome
donors. Reduction of genome sizes could have occurred after the formation of the allopolyploids of the Dilatata group. The
DNA content of all synthetic hybrids is in accordance with the sum of parental C-values. The interactions driving genome downsizing
may operate differently during the transition from diploidy to polyploidy than on subsequent increases in ploidy level. 相似文献

The 2C nuclear DNA content has been estimated by flow cytometry in 18 species and botanical forms of the genus Lupinus (family Fabaceae), using propidium iodide as a fluorescent dye. They represented distinct infrageneric taxonomic groups and differed in somatic chromosome numbers. Estimated 2C DNA values ranged from 0.97 pg in L. princei to 2.44 pg in L. luteus, which gives a more than 2.5-fold variation. Statistical analysis of the data obtained resulted in a grouping that supports the generally accepted taxonomic classification of the Old World lupins. The rough-seeded L. princei turned out to be an interesting exception, getting closer to smooth-seeded species. Results of DNA content analyses are discussed with regards to the phylogenetic relationships among the Old World lupins and some aspects of the evolution of the genus. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Polyploidization plays an important role in the evolution of many plant genera, including Koeleria. The knowledge of ploidy, chromosome number and genome size may enable correct taxonomic treatment when other features are insufficient as in Koeleria. Therefore, these characteristics and their variability were determined for populations of six central European Koeleria taxa. METHODS: Chromosome number analysis was performed by squashing root meristems, and ploidy and 2C nuclear DNA content were estimated by flow cytometry. KEY RESULTS: Three diploids (K. glauca, K. macrantha var. macrantha and var. pseudoglauca), one tetraploid (K. macrantha var. majoriflora), one decaploid (K. pyramidata) and one dodecaploid (K. tristis) were found. The 2C nuclear DNA content of the diploids ranged from 4.85 to 5.20 pg. The 2C DNA contents of tetraploid, decaploid and dodecaploid taxa were 9.31 pg, 22.89 pg and 29.23 pg, respectively. The DNA content of polyploids within the K. macrantha aggregate (i.e. within K. macrantha and K. pyramidata) was smaller than the expected multiple of the diploid genome (K. macrantha var. macrantha). Geography-correlated variation of DNA content was found for some taxa. Czech populations of K. macrantha var. majoriflora had a 5.06% smaller genome than the Slovak ones. An isolated eastern Slovakian population of K. tristis revealed 8.04% less DNA than populations from central Slovakia. In central and north-west Bohemia, diploid and tetraploid cytotypes of K. macrantha were sympatric; east from this region diploid populations, and towards the west tetraploid populations were dominant. CONCLUSIONS: Remarkable intra-specific inter-population differences in nuclear DNA content were found between Bohemian and Pannonian populations of Koeleria macrantha var. majoriflora and between geographically isolated central and eastern Slovakian populations of K. tristis. These differences occur over a relatively small geographical scale. 相似文献

Nuclear DNA content (2C) is used as a new criterion to investigate all species of the genus Gasteria Duval including the three recently described species Gasteria polita van Jaarsv., G. pendulifolia van Jaarsv. and G. glauca van Jaarsv.. The 122 accessions investigated have the same chromosome number (2n=2x=14), with exception of three tetraploid plants found. The nuclear DNA content of the diploids, as measured by flow cytometry with Propidium Iodide, is demonstrated to range from 32.8–43.2 pg. This implies that the largest genome contains roughly 1010 more base pairs than the smallest. Based on DNA content the species could be divided in five groups: G. rawlinsonii Oberm. with 32.8 pg, 13 mostly inland species with 34.3–36.0 pg, five coastal species with 36.5–39.0 pg and Gasteria batesiana Rowley with 43.2 pg. The thirteen species with 34.3–36.0 pg could be divided further, in a group of eight species occupying mainly very restricted areas with 34.3–35.1 pg and a second group of five species with 35.2–36.0 pg mainly occupying large areas. These five groups did not coincide very well with the two sections and four series of Gasteria based on a cladistic analysis by van Jaarsveld et al. (1994). Based on its long leafy branches, location in the centre of Gasteria species distribution and its by far lowest DNA content, G. rawlinsonii might be the most primitive member of the genus. Nuclear DNA content as measured by flow cytometry is shown to be relevant to provide additional information on the relationships between Gasteria species. 相似文献

Phylogenetic relationships within the complex genus Lupinus are estimated from internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA repeat. The molecular data supports Lupinus as a distinct monophyletic group within the tribe Genisteae. Different geographical lineages are revealed within Lupinus, which are each restricted to either the Old or the New World. In the New World, the ITS data support an eastern-western geographic disjunction of the lupines and the recognition of some well-supported clades. In the Old World, almost all the previously recognized taxa are taxonomically well differentiated. The homogeneous African rough-seeded lupines, Scabrispermae, are strongly supported as a monophyletic group, which is distinct from the diverse and heterogeneous circum-Mediterranean smooth-seeded ones. The latter appear to have evolved as two lineages, in which are revealed some intersectional relationships. Also ITS data allow the assessment of the phylogenetic position of the newly discovered species, L. anatolicus (in the Old World) and L. jaimehintoniana (the Mexican tree lupin). The ITS phylogeny suggests a rapid initial radiation of the lupines subsequent to their divergence from a common ancestor. Moreover, the results indicate that the annual and perennial habits have evolved many times in Lupinus and suggest a role for generation time in affecting the evolutionary history of lupines. Data on adaptive processes and character evolution are re-examined and discussed in the light of the ITS phylogeny.These studies were supported by the research unit UMR-CNRS 6553 Ecobio – University of Rennes (France), and by the NSERC of Canada (grant to R.J. Bayer, at the University of Alberta). They are greatfully acknowledged. All the persons that have contributed in different ways to this work on Lupinus, summarized in this presentation, are greatly thanked.

Fifteen cultivars, landraces, and wild accessions ofPisum sativum subspecies, and one accession ofP. abyssinicum were analysed with flow cytometry (DAPI staining) usingP. sativum Kleine Rheinländerin as internal standard. Applying the method of jointly isolating, staining, and measuring nuclei of individual seedlings of test and standard material, it was found that in allP. sativum comparisons G 1 and G 2 peaks were invariably unimodal and symmetric at coefficients of variation mostly less than 2%. This is strong evidence for absence of significant genome size variation in theP. sativum strains analysed. These data are markedly at variance to results of other authors reporting considerable genome size variation withinP. sativum. However, inP. abyssinicum flow cytograms and Feulgen densitometric measurements indicate 4–8% more DNA, at same chromosome number (2n = 14), than inP. sativum. This result demonstrates that genome size variation is indeed existent in the genus and requires further examination. 相似文献

Asplenium sect.Hymenasplenium is a well-defined group in Aspleniaceae, distinguished by several morphological and cytological characters. However, interspecific
relationships in the section were not clear. In this paper, we report the phylogenetic relationships of 9 Neotropical species
of sect.Hymenasplenium determined by chloroplast DNA restriction site variation analyses. From the obtained phylogenetic tree, two major clades:
one withA. obtusifolium, A. riparium, A. volubile andA. repandulum and another withA. delitescens, A. ortegae, A. purpurascens, A. laetum andA. hoffmannii were recognized.Asplenium delitescens was shown to have a polyphyletic origin. It was also shown that the epiphytic habit evolved only once in the New World species
of sect.Hymenasplenium. 相似文献

Nuclei were isolated from leaf tissue of differentCapsicum species and the relative fluorescence intensity was measured by flow cytometry after propidium iodide staining.Pisum sativum nuclei with known nuclear genome size (9.07 pg) were used as internal standard to determine nuclear DNA content of the samples in absolute units. The 2C DNA contents ranged between 7.65 pg inC. annuum and 9.72 pg inC. pubescens, and the general mean of the genus was 8.42 pg. These values correspond, respectively, to 1C genome size of 3.691 (C. annuum), 4.690 (C. pubescens) and 4.063 (general mean) Mbp. In general, white-flowered species proved to have less DNA, with the exception ofC. praetermissum, which displayed a 2C DNA content of 9.23 pg. It was possible to divide the studied species into three main groups according to their DNA content, and demonstrate differences in DNA content within two of the three species complexes established on the basis of morphological traits. 相似文献

Genome size variation in plants is thought to be correlatedwith cytological, physiological, or ecological characters. However,conclusions drawn in several studies were often contradictory.To analyze nuclear genome size evolution in a phylogenetic framework,DNA contents of 134 accessions, representing all but one speciesof the barley genus Hordeum L., were measured by flow cytometry.The 2C DNA contents were in a range from 6.85 to 10.67 pg indiploids (2n = 14) and reached up to 29.85 pg in hexaploid species(2n = 42). The smallest genomes were found in taxa from theNew World, which became secondarily annual, whereas the largestdiploid genomes occur in Eurasian annuals. Genome sizes of polyploidtaxa equaled mostly the added sizes of their proposed progenitorsor were slightly (1% to 5%) smaller. The analysis of ancestralgenome sizes on the base of the phylogeny of the genus revealedlineages with decreasing and with increasing genome sizes. Correlationsof intraspecific genome size variation with the length of vegetationperiod were found in H. marinum populations from Western Europebut were not significant within two species from South America.On a higher taxonomical level (i.e., for species groups or theentire genus), environmental correlations were absent. Thiscould mostly be attributed to the superimposition of life-formchanges and phylogenetic constraints, which conceal ecogeographicalcorrelations. 相似文献

A recent investigation of genome size in certain samples of the pigeonpea,Cajanus cajan, indicates values from 1.55 pg to 1.99 pg (1C level), which is 1.29-fold variation between accessions. In the present analysis those of these accessions which had particularly high or low DNA contents in that study were subjected to a reanalysis using propidium iodide and DAPI flow cytometry and Feulgen densitometry. Only minor differences in genome size, not more than 1.047-fold, were found with flow cytometry, and no significant differences were obtained with Feulgen densitometry. The previously reported genome size cannot be confirmed. It is about half as large and was determined in the present study as 0.825 pg (1C, propidium iodide flow cytometry,Glycine max as standard) and 0.853 pg (1C, Feulgen densitometry,Allium cepa andPisum sativum as standards), respectively. 相似文献

Nuclear DNA content (2C) is used as a new criterion to investigate nearly all species of the genus Nerine Herb. The species have the same chromosome number (2n = 2x = 22), with the exception of three triploid plants found. The
nuclear DNA content of the diploids, as measured by flow cytometry with propidium iodide, is demonstrated to range from 18.0–35.3
pg. This implies that the largest genome contains roughly 2 × 1010 more base pairs than the smallest. The species, arranged according to increasing genome size, fell apart in three groups
if growth cycle and leaf width were also considered. A narrow-leafed, evergreen group with a DNA content between 18.0 and
24.6 pg contains thirteen species, a broad-leaved winter growing group with four species has a DNA content from 25.3–26.2
pg and a broad-leafed summer growing group has a DNA content of 26.8–35.3 pg and contains six species. If the presence of
filament appendages and hairiness of the pedicels were also considered, the thirteen evergreen species could be further divided
into a group without filament appendages or hairy pedicels with a DNA content of 18.0–18.7 pg. A second group without filament
appendages but with hairy pedicels had a DNA content of 19.7–22.3 pg. And a third group with both filament appendages and
hairy pedicels had a DNA content of 22.0–24.6 pg. The exception is N. marincowitzii that, despite a low DNA content and narrow leaves is summer growing. The broad-leafed group is further characterised by the
absence of filament appendages and the absence of strongly hairy pedicels. The exception here is N. pusilla that, despite a high DNA content, has narrow leaves and minutely hairy pedicels. Nuclear DNA content as measured by flow
cytometry is shown to be relevant to throw new light on the relationships between Nerine species. 相似文献

Flow cytometry, using propidium iodide and 4',6-diamidano-2-phenylindole staining, was used to estimate the nuclear DNA content (2C) and the proportion of A-T base pairs in 16 species of the Mediterranean genus Cistus. Genome sizes were shown to be constant within species, since no significant intraspecific variation in 2C DNA content was detected. At the genus level, up to about 1.5-fold differences in absolute DNA amounts were observed, ranging from 3.92 pg in C. crispus to 5.88 pg in C. monspeliensis. The (AT) : (GC) ratio was close to 1, and was similar for all species examined, ranging from 47.87% A-T content in C clusii, to 50.67% in C. populifolius. Pink-flowered species (subgenus Cistus) had lower DNA amounts than white-flowered species (subgenera Leucocistus and Halimioides). However, the distribution of DNA amounts in Cistus appeared to be continuous and did not permit a clear separation of infra-generic ranks in the genus. 相似文献

Chromosomal studies ofMedicago lesinsii (n = 8) and its close relativeM. murex (n = 7) have led to the competing hypotheses that the latter is derived directly from the former, or that both originated from a common ancestor. In contrast to the relatively variableM. murex, M. lesinsii proved to be almost uniform isozymically, except that most populations of Greece differed by one allele from plants of the remainder of the range. This Greek variant ofM. lesinsii was indistinguishable from one of the isozyme variants ofM. murex. The greater level of allozyme variation inM. murex was consistent with its greater ecological amplitude and competitive ability. Also, this suggests thatM. murex is unlikely to have originated directly from the less variableM. lesinsii. The data suggest that either both species originated from a common ancestor, or that the n = 8 species evolved from the n = 7 species, a mode of chromosome evolution not previously hypothesized for the genus. 相似文献

Previous phylogenetic studies of Lupinus (Leguminosae) based on nuclear DNA have shown that the western New World taxa form a monophyletic group representing the majority of species in the genus, with evidence for high rates of recent diversification in South America following final uplift of the Andes 2–4 million years ago (Mya). For this study, three regions of rapidly evolving non-coding chloroplast DNA (trnL intron, trnS–trnG, and trnT–trnL) were examined to estimate the timing and rates of diversification in the western New World, and to infer ancestral states for geographic range, life history, and maximum elevation. The western New World species (5.0–9.3 Mya, 0.6–1.1 spp./My) comprise a basally branching assemblage of annual plants endemic to the lower elevations of western North America, from which two species-rich clades are recently derived: (i) the western North American perennials from the Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, and Pacific Slope (0.7–2.1 Mya, 2.0–5.9 spp./My) and (ii) the predominantly perennial species from the Andes Mountains of South America and highlands of Mexico (0.8–3.4 Mya, 1.4–5.7 spp./My). Bayesian posterior predictive tests for association between life history and maximum elevation demonstrate that perennials are positively correlated with higher elevations. These results are consistent with a series of one or more recent radiations in the western New World, and indicate that rapid diversification of Lupinus coincides with the derived evolution of perennial life history, colonization of montane habitats, and range expansion from North America to South America. 相似文献

During germination of lupin seeds, the levels of in-vivo tRNA aminoacylation increase in different ways, depending on the species of tRNA. Column chromatography of tRNA on reverse-phase-chromatography (RPC-5) has shown the presence of 4 peaks of isoleucyl-tRNA, 5 of leucyl-tRNA, 5 of lysyl-tRNA, 2 of tyrosyl-tRNA, and 4 of valyl-tRNA. Cochromatography of periodate treated and control tRNA preparations, labeled with radioactive amino acids, indicates identical aminoacylation in vivo of isoaccepting tRNAs during plant development. One isoacceptor of isoleucine tRNA changes its elution profile after periodate treatment.Abbreviation RPC-5

Analysis of morphological and phenological data for determining the genetic variation within sevenLolium species led to the recognition of two groups within this genus. One group, containing the two inbreeding speciesL. temulentum andL. persicum, was clearly distinct from all other species. Strong morphological and phenological intergradation was found between both species. The cross-breeding species,L. perenne, L. rigidum, andL. multiflorum, formed another group. Little differentiation was found between these species, though they were distinct. Two inbreeding species,L. loliaceum andL. remotum, were clearly distinct from each other and the two groups.L. loliaceum had an isolated position and was most related toL. rigidum. L. remotum had an intermediate position between the cross-breeding and inbreeding species, and was almost equally distant from all three cross-breeding species.Genetic variation inLolium spp. I. 相似文献

Genome size variation in the genus Carthamus (Asteraceae, Cardueae): systematic implications and additive changes during allopolyploidization 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plant genome size is an important biological characteristic, with relationships to systematics, ecology and distribution. Currently, there is no information regarding nuclear DNA content for any Carthamus species. In addition to improving the knowledge base, this research focuses on interspecific variation and its implications for the infrageneric classification of this genus. Genome size variation in the process of allopolyploid formation is also addressed. METHODS: Nuclear DNA samples from 34 populations of 16 species of the genus Carthamus were assessed by flow cytometry using propidium iodide. KEY RESULTS: The 2C values ranged from 2.26 pg for C. leucocaulos to 7.46 pg for C. turkestanicus, and monoploid genome size (1Cx-value) ranged from 1.13 pg in C. leucocaulos to 1.53 pg in C. alexandrinus. Mean genome sizes differed significantly, based on sectional classification. Both allopolyploid species (C. creticus and C. turkestanicus) exhibited nuclear DNA contents in accordance with the sum of the putative parental C-values (in one case with a slight reduction, frequent in polyploids), supporting their hybrid origin. CONCLUSIONS: Genome size represents a useful tool in elucidating systematic relationships between closely related species. A considerable reduction in monoploid genome size, possibly due to the hybrid formation, is also reported within these taxa. 相似文献

Summary Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction endonuclease fragment patterns and patterns of mtDNA hybridized by mitochondrial gene probes were used to study phylogenetic relationships of seven Pennisetum species, including five P. americanum (pearl millet) ecotypes and a reference species from the distantly related genus, Panicum. The restriction patterns of the pearl millet ecotypes were uniform with the exception of the ecotype collected in Ethiopia. The probe hybridization method revealed more variability, with both the Rhodesian and Ethiopian ecotypes differing from the others and from each other. Considerable restriction pattern polymorphism was noted among different species of Pennisetum, and Panicum. Significant relationships were noted of Pennisetum polystachyon to P. pedicellatum and of P. purpureum to P. squamulatum using the restriction pattern method. In addition to those relationships, the hybridization method showed relationships of pearl millet to P. purpureum and to P. squamulatum. The relationships noted between species by the hybridization method agreed more closely to the cytological data than those indicated by the restriction pattern method. Therefore, the hybridization method appeared to be the preferred method for studying species relationships. The mitochondrial genome size of pearl millet was calculated to be 407 kb and the mitochondrial genome sizes of other Pennisetum species ranged from 341 to 486 kb.Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Series No. 8485. 相似文献

Genome size has been estimated by flow cytometry in 14 populations belonging to eight taxa (seven species, one of them with two varieties) of the genus Tripleurospermum. 2C nuclear DNA amounts range from 4.87 to 9.22 pg, and nuclear DNA amounts per basic chromosome set from 1.99 to 2.75 pg. Statistically significant differences depending on ploidy level, life cycle or environmental factors such as altitude have been found. Also, genome size is positively correlated with total karyotype length. The presence of rhizome is related to nuclear DNA content in these species.This work was supported by project BOS2001-3041-C02-01 of the Spanish government, and one of the authors (S.G.) received a predoctoral grant from the Spanish government. 相似文献

Chloroplast DNA restriction site variation was examined for 35 taxa in theVernonieae and four outgroup tribes, using 17 restriction enzymes mapped for ca. 900 restriction sites per species; 139 mutations were found to be phylogenetically informative. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using Wagner and weighted parsimony, and evaluated by bootstrap and decay analyses. Relationships of Old and New World taxa indicate complex geographical relationships; there was no clear geographic separation by hemisphere. The relationships between Old and New World Vernonias found here support prior morphological analyses. The sister group to all New and most Old World taxa was composed of a small group of Old World species including yellow-flowered, trinervate-leaved species previously postulated to be basal in the tribe. The majority of both New and Old World taxa are derived from a lineage beginning with the monotypic genusStokesia, an endemic of the southeastern United States. The genusVernonia was also found to be paraphyletic within both the New and Old World. Available data do not support either the separation ofVernonia or the tribeVernonieae into geographically distinct lineages. The pattern of relationships within theVernonieae for taxa from North America, Asia, Africa, Central and South America is most similar to that of several other groups of both plants and animals with a boreotropical origin, rather than an origin in Gondwanaland. Such a pattern of distribution suggests more ancient vicariant events than are routinely postulated for theAsteraceae. 相似文献
