Understanding the cytological diploidization mechanism of polyploid wild wheats.

چکیده
The allohexaploid Aegilops species (2n = 6x = 42), Ae. neglecta 6x (UUXtXtNN), Ae. juvenalis (DcDcXcXcUU), and Ae. vavilovii (DcDcXcXcSsSs) regularly form bivalents at metaphase I. However, in Ae. crassa 6x (DcDcXcXcDD) 0.27 quadrivalents per cell were observed probably as a consequence of the partial homology displayed by the D and Dc genomes. Likewise, the synthetic amphiploid Ae. ventricosa-Secale cereale (DDNNRR) is fertile and displays a diploid-like behavior at metaphase I, despite its recent origin. The pattern of synapsis at late zygotene and pachytene in the natural and artificial allohexaploids was analyzed by whole-mount surface-spreading of synaptonemal complexes under an electron microscope. It revealed that chromosomes were mostly associated as bivalents in all cases, the mean of multivalents per nucleus ranging from 0.17 (Ae. neglecta 6x) to 1.03 (Ae. crassa 6x) in the natural species and 1.05 in the Ae. ventricosa-S. cereale amphiploid. It can be concluded that the mechanism controlling bivalent formation in these species and also in the synthetic amphiploid acts mainly at zygotene by restricting synapsis to homologous chromosomes, but also acts at pachytene by preventing chiasma formation in the homoeologous associations. These observations are discussed in relation to the origin and evolution of the mechanism of diploidization in the allopolyploid species of the Poaceae family.

Quantification of genetic relationships among A genomes of wheats.
The genetic relationships of A genomes of Triticum urartu (Au) and Triticum monococcum (Am) in polyploid wheats are explored and quantified by AFLP fingerprinting. Forty-one accessions of A-genome diploid wheats, 3 of AG-genome wheats, 19 of AB-genome wheats, 15 of ABD-genome wheats, and 1 of the D-genome donor Ae. tauschii have been analysed. Based on 7 AFLP primer combinations, 423 bands were...
متن کاملWhole genome duplication in coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and its implications for explaining the rarity of polyploidy in conifers.
Polyploidy is common and an important evolutionary factor in most land plant lineages, but it is rare in gymnosperms. Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is one of just two polyploid conifer species and the only hexaploid. Evidence from fossil guard cell size suggests that polyploidy in Sequoia dates to the Eocene. Numerous hypotheses about the mechanism of polyploidy and parental genome donor...
متن کاملProtein electrophoretic profiles and the origin of the B genome of wheat.
Protein electrophoretic profiles cast doubt upon the prevalent theory that the B genome of the polyploid wheats was derived from a species of Aegilops. They suggest, instead, that the wild tetraploid wheats comprise a complex, whose components were derived from various combinations of diploid Triticum types, which evidently include the B-genome type.
متن کاملA reassessment of the origin of the polyploid wheats.
The diploid species that donated the A and D genomes to the polyploid wheats have been recognized for some time. New evidence indicates that Triticum speltoides cannot be the B genome donor to T. turgidum or T. aestivum. T. speltoides is probably homologous to the G genome of T. timopheevii. The donor of the B genome to T. turgidum and T. aestivum is currently unrecognized.
