Polyploidy and gender dimorphism.
Miller and Venable (1) claimed that polyploidy is a “trigger of unrecognized importance” for the evolution of gender dimorphism, an idea originally proposed by Jennings (2) and Baker (3). In our opinion, their phylogenetic analysis of North American Lycium (Solanaceae) does not support the claimed associations between polyploidy, self-fertility, and gender dimorphism. There is no support (boots...
متن کاملPolyploidy and the evolution of gender dimorphism in plants.
Gender dimorphism and polyploidy are important evolutionary transitions that have evolved repeatedly in many plant families. We show that gender dimorphism in North American Lycium (Solanaceae) has evolved in polyploid, self-compatible taxa whose closest relatives are cosexual, self-incompatible diploids. This has occurred independently in South African Lycium. We present additional evidence fo...
متن کاملThe Role of Polyploidy in the Evolution of Gender Dimorphism: An Experimental Approach using Fragaria vesca
The Role of Polyploidy in the Evolution of Gender Dimorphism: An Experimental Approach Using Fragaria vesca Allison Kwok Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. Brian C Husband The evolution of gender dimorphism is associated with the incidence of polyploidy in several plant taxa, but the underlying causes of this relationship are not well understood. Here I investigate the direct and indirect ...
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle Gender Dimorphism from Proteomics
Gross contraction in skeletal muscle is primarily determined by a relatively small number of contractile proteins, however this tissue is also remarkably adaptable to environmental factors such as hypertrophy by resistance exercise and atrophy by disuse. It thereby exhibits remodeling and adaptations to stressors (heat, ischemia, heavy metals, etc.). Damage can occur to muscle by a muscle exert...
متن کاملGender dimorphism of body mass perception and regulation in mice.
According to the set-point theory of body mass, changes in body mass are perceived by the body, leading to activation of compensatory feedback mechanisms, which in turn restores the set-point body mass. However, this theory is still under debate. To test if mass per se might be sensed and regulated, we implanted loads corresponding to 10% (HI) or 2% (LO, control) of body mass into mice in addit...
