Drosophila punjabiensis, a member of the montium subgroup of the melanogaster species group is a very common and widespread species of Drosophila in the Indian subcontinent. Analysis of different geographic populations of this species in India has revealed altogether nine paracentric inversions. The relationship between inversions and the different environmental conditions is discussed. The pattern of inversion polymorphism in D. punjabiensis and its sibling species, D. jambulina are compared. 相似文献

Ten laboratory stocks of Drosophila melanogaster initiated from females collected in different localities in India were analysed for chromosome inversions. Six inversions were found to be present, three in 2L, one in 2R, one in 3L and one in 3R. Out of these six inversions, three are new and are being reported for the first time. Furthermore, this is the first report of inversion polymorphism in Indian D. melanogaster. The persistence of inversion polymorphism in our laboratory stocks of D. melanogaster which were maintained for more than one year under laboratory conditions, suggests some heterotic advantage of inversion heterozygotes. 相似文献

Drosophila ananassae is a cosmopolitan and domestic species. It occupies a nuique status among the Drosophila species due to certain peculiarities in its genetic behaviour. The most unusual feature of this species is spontaneous male recombination in appreciable frequency. The present review summarises the work done on population and behaviour genetics of D. ananassae from India. Population dynamics of three cosmopolitan inversions has been studied in Indian population of D. ananassae and it is evident from the results that there is a considerable degree of genetic divergence at the level of inversion polymorphism. In general, the populations from south India show more differentiation than those from the north. These three cosmopolitan inversions, which are coextensive with the species, exhibit heterosis. Interracial hybridization does not lead to beaakdown of heterosis, which suggests that evidence for coadaptation is lacking in geographic populations of D. ananassae. Heterosis appears to be simple luxuriance rather than populational heterosis (coadaptation). Unlinked inversions occur in random associations, indicating no interchromosomal interactions. However, two inversions of the third chromosome often show strong linkage disequilibrium in laboratory populations, which is due to epistatic gene interaction and suppression of crossing-over. Genetic variations for certain allozyme polymorphism and sternoleural bristle phenotypes in Indian populations of D. ananassae have also been observed.A number of investigations have also been carried out on certain aspects of behaviour genetics of Indian D. ananassae. There is evidence for sexual isolation within D. ananassae. Significant variations in mating propensity of several isofemale strains, inversion karyotypes, the diminishing effects of certain mutations on sexual activity of males and positive response to selection for high and low mating propensity provide evidence for genetic control of sexual behaviour in D. ananassae. Males contribute more to variation and thus are more subject to intra-sexual selection than females. Evidence for rare male mating advantage has also been presented. Geographic strains of D. ananassae show variation with respect to oviposition site preference. The results of studies on pupation site preference, which is an important component of larval behaviour, suggest that larval pupation behaviour in D. ananassae is under polygenic control with a substantial amount of additive genetic variation. 相似文献

In Drosophila, chromosomal polymorphism due to paracentric inversions is very common and constitutes an adaptive character. The degree of chromosomal variability varies in different species and also in different populations of the same species. Chromosomal polymorphism in Indian natural populations of three species, D. melaonogaster, D. ananassae and D. bipectinata which belong to the melanogaster species group has been studied and the quantitative data on frequency of inversions have been reported. Behaviour of chromosome inversions has also been studied in laboratory conditions. The present review summarises the work done on inversion polymorphism in Indian populations of three species which clearly demonstrates that these three species vary in their patterns of inversion polymorphism and have evolved different mechanisms for adjustment to their environments although they belong to the same species group. 相似文献

D. bipectinata and D. malerkotliana differ from each other by three overlapping inversions in IIL, two included inversions in IIIL and two overlapping inversions in IIIR. These inversions were analysed on the basis of the salivary chromosome maps of D. malerkotliana. Bock's (1971) data revealed that the four members of the bipectinata species complex differ from each other with respect to overlapping inversions. The reason why the ancestral population which may have been heterozygous for common inversions split into at least four groups, each leading to the formation of a new species, and the possible mechanism of the origin of sexual isolation between the groups is discussed. 相似文献

Length and position of breakpoints are characteristics of inversions that can be precisely determined on the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila species, and they provide crucial information about the processes that govern the origin and evolution of inversions. Eighty-six paracentric inversions described in the Drosophila buzzatii species complex and 18 inversions induced by introgressive hybridization in D. buzzatii were analyzed. In contrast to previous studies, inversion length and breakpoint distribution have been considered simultaneously. We conclude that: (1) inversion length is a selected trait; rare inversions are predominantly small while evolutionarily successful inversions, polymorphic and fixed, are predominantly intermediate in length; a nearly continuous variation in length, from small to medium sized, is found between less and more successful inversions; (2) there exists a significant negative correlation between length and number of polymorphic inversions per species which explains 39% of the inversion length variance; (3) natural selection on inversion length seems the main factor determining the relative position of breakpoints along the chromosomes; (4) the distribution of breakpoints according to their band location is non-random, with chromosomal segments that accumulate up to eight breakpoints. 相似文献

Ninety-six geographical strains distributed among the incipient species of the Drosophila paulistorum complex were examined cytologically, and the results obtained were correlated with available data on hybridization tests and chromosomal analysis. The complex was found to contain more than sixty-three different inversions, out of which thirty-two were 3rd chromosome configurations. This placed Drosophila paulistorum among the most chromosomally polymorphic species in the genus. The species differs from D. willistoni, in that a great number of inversions is concentrated in one of the chromosomes, as opposed to approximately equal distribution of inversions in the chromosomes of willistoni. — The data obtained in the course of this investigation seem to support the idea that either massive populations become isolated and then form new species, or that the newly forming species tend to retain some of their ancestral polymorphs which might present them with heterotic effects, gradually replacing them with more successful combinations as speciation progresses.The work reported in this article has been carried under Contract No. AT (30-1)-3096, U.

A model for explaining the establishment of newly arisen inversions in natural populations, in which the inverted segment may be selected for if its load of deleterious mutations is smaller than the average load of the noninverted segment in the population, is tested for Drosophila subobscura. The results show that for new inversions, originally with no deleterious alleles, the expected cumulative distribution of inversion lengths fits fairly well with the observed one. Therefore, genic selection may be an important cause of the establishment of newly arisen inversions in natural populations of D. subobscura. The applicability of the model to the maintenance of the inversion polymorphism present in this species; is discussed. 相似文献

Two species of the Drosophila nasuta subgroup of the Drosophila immigrans group, D. sulphurigaster albostrigata and D. nasuta albomicans were investigated in this study. Collections of both species were made from Phuket, Thailand. Both species have similar salivary chromosomes, with four autosomal arms and one sex chromosome arm, and both are highly polymorphic for paracentric inversions. D. s. albostrigata accounted for the majority of the isolines collected and exhibited the greater number of inversions. One inversion, C1, was common to both species, indicating common ancestry.A non-random distribution of inversions was observed on the proximal end of chromosome II in both D. s. albostrigata and D. n. albomicans. An inter-collection comparison revealed that both rigid and flexible chromosomal polymorphism were operating in the two species, with a seasonal variation noted for one inversion in D. s. albostrigata. A non-random association of two inversions was observed in D. n. albomicans.Based on a comparison of the indices of crossing over, both D. s. albostrigata and D. n. albomicans were found to be more heterozygous than in previous studies, with D. n. albomicans appearing to have evolved further than D. s. albostrigata.Based on a thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.

Specific karyotype structure and chromosomal polymorphism was investigated in the populations of Sergentia nebulosa Linevitsh et al., 1984 and Sergentia assimilis Proviz V. et Proviz L., 1999, the deep-water endemic chironomid species (Diptera, Chironomidae) from the Baikal Lake. The
distinguishing feature of the karyotypes of these species, compared to the other Baikalian Sergentia, is well-developed nucleolus in region 6 of arm C. Both species display the presence of interspecific population polymorphism,
determined by the structure of this arm. In some populations, chromosome regions from 4 to 6 contain a homozygous inversion,
which is absent in the other populations. The distinguishing karyotype feature of S. assimilis, which shares fluctuating homozygous inversions with the other species, is the presence of two species-specific homozygous
inversions. These are the secondary overlapping inversion in arm A, regions 2 to 7, and the inversion in regions 4 to 10 of
arm G. Both species of interest contain nucleolus organizer in region 10 of arm G. In populations of S. nebulosa, six heterozygous inversions localized in arms A, B, C, F, and G were discovered. The highest number of heterozygotes for
inversions (71%) was observed in the population from Southern Baikal. In arm B of S. assimilis, one heterozygous inversion and heterozygosity for nucleolus organizer in the chromosome region 16 was detected. Chromosomal
evolution of Baikalian Sergentia, and the role of inversion polymorphism in the population adaptation is discussed.

Detailed chloroplast DNA restriction site maps for two species in the genusAdonis (Ranunculaceae),A. annua andA. vernalis, were constructed using single and double digests and the sizes of these genomes are 151.3 and 156.5 kilobases, respectively. Three inversions were found inAdonis, relative to the gene order in the majority of land plants. These rearrangements represent two different gene orders and mark an ancient split in the evolutionary history of this genus. Gene probes were used in order to map the endpoints of the inversions and the inverted repeat regions. The inverted repeat is approximately 400 base pairs shorter inA. annua than inA. vernalis. Two inversions, 39 kilobases and 24 kilobases in size, occur inA. annua and one inversion, 42 kilobases in size, is present in the remaining investigated species ofAdonis. The generps16 is absent from the chloroplast genome inAdonis annua. Restriction sites for eleven restriction endonucleases were mapped forA. annua, A. vernalis and four additional species ofAdonis and two species ofTrollius. Eighty-six phylogenetically informative sites were analysed cladistically in order to evaluate the main clades withinAdonis. 相似文献

A simple way to think of evolutionary trade-offs is to suppose genetic effects of opposed direction that give rise to antagonistic pleiotropy. Maintenance of additive genetic variability for fitness related characters, in association with negative correlations between these characters, may result. In the cactophilic species Drosophila buzzatii, there is evidence that second-chromosome polymorphic inversions affect size-related traits. Because a trade-off between body size and larval developmental time has been reported in Drosophila, we study here whether or not these inversions also affect larva-adult viability and developmental time. In particular, we expect that polymorphic inversions make a statistically significant contribution to the genetic correlation between body size (as measured by thorax length) and larval developmental time. This contribution is expected to be in the direction predicted by the trade-off, namely, those flies whose karyotypes cause them to be genetically larger should also have a longer developmental time than flies with other karyotypes. Using two different experimental approaches, a statistically significant contribution of the second-chromosome inversions to the phenotypic variances of body size and developmental time in D. buzzatii was found. Further, these inversions make a positive contribution to the total genetic correlation between the traits, as expected by the suggested trade-off. The data do not provide evidence as to whether the genetic correlation is due to antagonistic pleiotropic gene action or to gametic disequilibrium of linked genes that affect one or both traits. The results do suggest, however, a possible explanation for the maintenance of inversion polymorphism in this species. 相似文献

The epidemiology of malaria in Africa is complicated by the fact that its principal vector, the mosquito Anopheles gambiae, constitutes a complex of six sibling species. Each species is characterized by a unique array of paracentric inversions, as deduced by karyotypic analysis. In addition, most of the species carry a number of polymorphic inversions. In order to develop an understanding of the evolutionary histories of different parts of the genome, we compared the genetic variation of areas inside and outside inversions in two distinct inversion karyotypes of A. gambiae. Thirty-five cDNA clones were mapped on the five arms of the A. gambiae chromosomes with divisional probes. Sixteen of these clones, localized both inside and outside inversions of chromosome 2, were used as probes in order to determine the nucleotide diversity of different parts of the genome in the two inversion karyotypes. We observed that the sequence diversity inside the inversion is more than threefold lower than in areas outside the inversion and that the degree of divergence increases gradually at loci at increasing distance from the inversion. To interpret the data we present a selectionist and a stochastic model, both of which point to a relatively recent origin of the studied inversion and may suggest differences between the evolutionary history of inversions in Anopheles and Drosophila species.Correspondence to: K.D.

Heterozygosity for chromosomal arrangements was investigated in four species of the nasuta complex. D. sulfurigaster albostrigata, D. albomicans and D. kohkoa are highly polymorphic whereas D. pulaua is monomorphic. Inversions were identified with the aid of photographic chromosome maps. The geographic distribution and frequencies of inversions detected and their possible phylogenies were discussed. Most inversions in D.s. albostrigata and D. albomicans occur on chromosome IIL. In D. kohkoa there is marked preponderance of inversions on chromosome III. Non-random association of certain inversions was noted. Variation in frequencies of inversions is interpreted as a result of adaptation to local ecogeographic conditions. Shared extant polymorphisms indicate phylogenetic relationships between species.The contents of this paper were incorporated in a Ph.D. thesis accepted by the University of Queensland in 1978.

Chromosomal inversions shape recombination landscapes, and species differing by inversions may exhibit reduced gene flow in these regions of the genome. Though single crossovers within inversions are not usually recovered from inversion heterozygotes, the recombination barrier imposed by inversions is nuanced by noncrossover gene conversion. Here, we provide a genomewide empirical analysis of gene conversion rates both within species and in species hybrids. We estimate that gene conversion occurs at a rate of 1 × 10–5 to 2.5 × 10–5 converted sites per bp per generation in experimental crosses within Drosophila pseudoobscura and between D. pseudoobscura and its naturally hybridizing sister species D. persimilis. This analysis is the first direct empirical assessment of gene conversion rates within inversions of a species hybrid. Our data show that gene conversion rates in interspecies hybrids are at least as high as within‐species estimates of gene conversion rates, and gene conversion occurs regularly within and around inverted regions of species hybrids, even near inversion breakpoints. We also found that several gene conversion events appeared to be mitotic rather than meiotic in origin. Finally, we observed that gene conversion rates are higher in regions of lower local sequence divergence, yet our observed gene conversion rates in more divergent inverted regions were at least as high as in less divergent collinear regions. Given our observed high rates of gene conversion despite the sequence differentiation between species, especially in inverted regions, gene conversion has the potential to reduce the efficacy of inversions as barriers to recombination over evolutionary time. 相似文献

Chromosomal analysis of eight Indian natural populations (six from north India and two from south India) of Drosophila melanogaster revealed the presence of 13 paracentric inversions, including one in the X chromosome. All four types of inversions--common cosmopolitan (4), rare cosmopolitan (3), recurrent endemic (2), and unique endemic (4)--were detected. The frequency of commonly occurring inversions and the level of inversion heterozygosity were found to be higher in the two southern populations. The south Indian populations are genetically more differentiated than those from the north. Also, latitudinal clines in the frequencies of the four common cosmopolitan inversions were detected. These results provide further evidence for the existence of inversion clines in Indian populations of D. melanogaster. 相似文献

It is only in the Hawaiian Islands that species of the otherwise marine genus Telmatogeton have evolved into freshwater. An analysis of polytene chromosomes and karyotypes of two marine species and five freshwater species revealed that paracentric inversions and centric fusions were important in chromosomal evolution. The sequence of polytene chromosome bands common to most species, established as the Telmatogeton standard sequence, is found in a population of T. torrenticola from West Maui. Most species and other populations of T. torrenticola may be derived from the standard sequence by paracentric inversions. Similarities with the standard band sequence places T. japonicus (n=7) rather than T. pacificus (n=4) in the proposed phylogeny as the species closest to the marine ancestor of the freshwater species. One of three species (T. fluviatilis from Oahu, T. torrenticola from West Maui, or an undescribed species from East Maui), each with seven pairs of chromosomes is considered to be closest to the original freshwater species. T. torrenticola is a complex species in which there is an accumulation of fixed inversions and centric fusions in stepwise fashion in populations from west to east (West Maui n=7; East Maui n=6; Kohala Mountains n=5 and Mauna Kea n=4 both from the island of Hawaii). The population of T. torrenticola from Molokai has a reduced chromosome number (n=4) and fixed inversions. T. abnormis and T. hirtus, the only species which exhibit differentiated sex chromosomes, may be derived from the standard sequency by paracentric inversions. T. abnormis (n=4) has a simple XY system and T. hirtus (n=3/4) has a complex XY1Y2 system. Unique sequences of bands, differences in staining intensity of puffs and bands, and an inversion form the basis for the differentiation of the various Y-chromosomes in these species. 相似文献

Zaprionus indianus is a recent invader in Brazil and was probably introduced from the West Afrotropical zone. So far, studies regarding its
chromosomal polymorphism were limited to India. We found that Brazilian populations were very different from Indian ones.
Five new inversions have been discovered. In(II)A, already described in India, where it is quite common, has also been found in Brazil, where it is very rare. The X-chromosome
has three inversions; In(X)Na, In(X)Ke and In(X)Eg, which are frequent in all Brazilian populations studied. In every case, we observed strong linkage disequilibrium among
these gene arrangements. During the primary collection period (2001–2002), we noticed a significant positive correlation between
the frequency of these inversions and latitude, but this was not confirmed in later investigations. Rearrangement In(IV)EF was also common in all populations, while inversion In(V)B was only found in southern populations. Our data suggest that the founders that recently invaded Brazil were polymorphic
for the six inversions observed. The place of origin might be identified more precisely by investigating West African populations.
In order to facilitate further investigations, we present an updated polytene chromosome photomap, locating the breakpoints
of every inversion observed in Brazilian populations.

Models of speciation‐with‐gene‐flow have shown that the reduction in recombination between alternative chromosome arrangements can facilitate the fixation of locally adaptive genes in the face of gene flow and contribute to speciation. However, it has proven frustratingly difficult to show empirically that inversions have reduced gene flow and arose during or shortly after the onset of species divergence rather than represent ancestral polymorphisms. Here, we present an analysis of whole genome data from a pair of cactophilic fruit flies, Drosophila mojavensis and D. arizonae, which are reproductively isolated in the wild and differ by several large inversions on three chromosomes. We found an increase in divergence at rearranged compared to colinear chromosomes. Using the density of divergent sites in short sequence blocks we fit a series of explicit models of species divergence in which gene flow is restricted to an initial period after divergence and may differ between colinear and rearranged parts of the genome. These analyses show that D. mojavensis and D. arizonae have experienced postdivergence gene flow that ceased around 270 KY ago and was significantly reduced in chromosomes with fixed inversions. Moreover, we show that these inversions most likely originated around the time of species divergence which is compatible with theoretical models that posit a role of inversions in speciation with gene flow. 相似文献

In many insects, X‐linked inversions fix at a higher rate and are much less polymorphic than autosomal inversions. Here, we report that in Drosophila, X‐linked inversions also capture 67% more genes. We estimated the number of genes captured through an approximate Bayesian computational analysis of gene orders in nine species of Drosophila. X‐linked inversions fixed with a significantly larger gene content. Further, X‐linked inversions of intermediate size enjoy highest fixation rate, while the fixation rate of autosomal inversions decreases with size. A less detailed analysis in Anopheles suggests a similar pattern holds in mosquitoes. We develop a population genetic model that assumes the fitness effects of inversions scale with the number of genes captured. We show that the same conditions that lead to a higher fixation rate also produce a larger size for inversions on the X. 相似文献
