Altered trans-regulatory control of gene expression in multiple anthocyanin genes contributes to adaptive flower color evolution in Mimulus aurantiacus.
A fundamental goal in evolutionary biology is to identify the molecular changes responsible for adaptive evolution. In this study, we describe a genetic analysis to determine whether the molecular changes contributing to adaptive flower color divergence in Mimulus aurantiacus affect gene expression or enzymatic activity. High performance liquid chromatography analysis confirms that flower color...
متن کاملEvolution of anthocyanin biosynthesis in maize kernels: the role of regulatory and enzymatic loci.
Understanding which genes contribute to evolutionary change and the nature of the alterations in them are fundamental challenges in evolution. We analyzed regulatory and enzymatic genes in the maize anthocyanin pathway as related to the evolution of anthocyanin-pigmented kernels in maize from colorless kernels of its progenitor, teosinte. Genetic tests indicate that teosinte possesses functiona...
متن کاملFlower color as a model system for studies of plant evo-devo
Even though pigmentation traits have had substantial impacts on the field of animal evolutionary developmental biology, they have played only relatively minor roles in plant evo-devo. This is surprising given the often direct connection between flower color and fitness variation mediated through the effects of pollinators. At the same time, ecological and evolutionary genetic studies have utili...
متن کاملThe inheritance and evolution of leaf pigmentation and pubescence in teosinte.
To investigate the genetic mechanisms that underlie morphological evolution in natural populations, we employed QTL mapping to dissect the inheritance of leaf sheath characters that distinguish Chalco from Balsas teosinte. Abundant macrohairs (trichomes) and intense anthocyanin accumulation are found in Chalco teosinte sheaths whereas Balsas teosinte leaf sheaths are green and glabrous. These c...
متن کاملEffect of anthocyanin from roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) supplemented diets on growth, survival, body composition and hepatic enzymes activity of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anthocyanin from roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) supplemented diets on growth, survival and body composition of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) for 60 days. Fish were fed 0 % (control), 0.5 %, 1 % and 2 % anthocyanin extract in complete random design. Fifteen fish with the same initial weight (14 ± 0. 1 g) were selected and randomly distr...
