Apomixis frequency under stress conditions in weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula)
To overcome environmental stress, plants develop physiological responses that are triggered by genetic or epigenetic changes, some of which involve DNA methylation. It has been proposed that apomixis, the formation of asexual seeds without meiosis, occurs through the temporal or spatial deregulation of the sexual process mediated by genetic and epigenetic factors influenced by the environment. ...
متن کاملIncreased apomixis expression concurrent with genetic and epigenetic variation in a newly synthesized Eragrostis curvula polyploid
Eragrostis curvula includes biotypes reproducing through obligate and facultative apomixis or, rarely, full sexuality. We previously generated a "tetraploid-dihaploid-tetraploid" series of plants consisting of a tetraploid apomictic plant (T), a sexual dihaploid plant (D) and a tetraploid artificial colchiploid (C). Initially, plant C was nearly 100% sexual. However, its capacity to form non-re...
متن کاملIdentification of Candidate Genes Related to Polyploidy and/or Apomixis in Eragrostis curvula
This work was aimed at identifying genes that show altered expression profiles in response to changes in ploidy and/or reproductive mode (from sexual to apomictic) in the African grass Eragrostis curvula. A differential display analysis was performed on leaf and flower transcriptomes from a series of genetically related euploid plants, including tetraploid apomictic, diploid sexual, and tetrapl...
متن کاملIdentification, cloning, and characterization of PWL2, a gene for host species specificity in the rice blast fungus.
Genetic analysis of host specificity in the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) identified a single gene, PWL2 (for Pathogenicity toward Weeping Lovegrass), that exerts a major effect on the ability of this fungus to infect weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula). The allele of the PWL2 gene conferring nonpathogenicity was genetically unstable, with the frequent appearance of spontaneous path...
متن کاملDe novo transcriptome sequencing and assembly from apomictic and sexual Eragrostis curvula genotypes
A long-standing goal in plant breeding has been the ability to confer apomixis to agriculturally relevant species, which would require a deeper comprehension of the molecular basis of apomictic regulatory mechanisms. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees is a perennial grass that includes both sexual and apomictic cytotypes. The availability of a reference transcriptome for this species would const...
