A recent duplication revisited: phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancestral duplication highly-conserved throughout the Oryza genus and beyond.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of gene duplication in the structural and functional evolution of genomes has been well documented. Analysis of complete rice (Oryza sativa) genome sequences suggested an ancient whole genome duplication, common to all the grasses, some 50-70 million years ago and a more conserved segmental duplication between the distal regions of the short arms of chromosomes 11 and 12, whose evolutionary history is controversial.

Results

We have carried out a comparative analysis of this duplication within the wild species of the genus Oryza, using a phylogenetic approach to specify its origin and evolutionary dynamics. Paralogous pairs were isolated for nine genes selected throughout the region in all Oryza genome types, as well as in two outgroup species, Leersia perrieri and Potamophila parviflora. All Oryza species display the same global evolutionary dynamics but some lineage-specific features appear towards the proximal end of the duplicated region. The same level of conservation is observed between the redundant copies of the tetraploid species Oryza minuta. The presence of orthologous duplicated blocks in the genome of the more distantly-related species, Brachypodium distachyon, strongly suggests that this duplication between chromosomes 11 and 12 was formed as part of the whole genome duplication common to all Poaceae.

Conclusion

Our observations suggest that recurrent but heterogeneous concerted evolution throughout the Oryza genus and in related species has led specifically to the extremely high sequence conservation occurring in this region of more than 2 Mbp.

Project description:We have evaluated the floral nectars of nine species from different sections of the genus Nicotiana. These nine species effectively cover the genus. We found that the nectary glands from these different species showed similar developmental regulation with swelling of nectaries during the first half of development and a distinct color change in the nectary gland as development approaches anthesis. When we examined the composition of the nectar from these nine different species we found that they were similar in content. Carbohydrate compositions of these various nectars varied between these species with N. bonariensis showing the highest and N. sylvestris lowest level of sugars. Based upon the amount of carbohydrates, the nectars fell into two groups. We found that hydrogen peroxide accumulated in the nectars of each of these species. While all species showed the presence of hydrogen peroxide in nectar, the quantitative amounts of hydrogen peroxide which was very high in N. rustica and N. bonariensis, suggesting be a common characteristic in short flower Nicotiana species. We further found that the antioxidant ascorbate accumulated in nectar and ?-carotene accumulated in nectaries. ?-carotene was most high in nectaries of N. bonariensis. We also examined the presence of proteins in the nectars of these species. The protein profile and quantities varied significantly between species, although all species have showed the presence of proteins in their nectars. We performed a limited proteomic analysis of several proteins from these nectars and determined that each of the five abundant proteins examined were identified as Nectarin 1, Nectarin 3, or Nectarin 5. Thus, based upon the results found in numerous species across the genus Nicotiana, we conclude that the mechanisms identified are similar to those mechanisms found in previous studies on ornamental tobacco nectars. Further, these similarities are remarkably conserved, throughout the genus Nicotiana.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Polyploidization is a prominent process in plant evolution, whereas the mechanism and tempo-spatial process remained poorly understood. Oryza officinalis complex, a polyploid complex in the genus Oryza, could exemplify the issues not only for it covering a variety of ploidy levels, but also for the pantropical geographic pattern of its polyploids in Asia, Africa, Australia and Americas, in which a pivotal genome, the C-genome, witnessed all the polyploidization process. RESULTS:Tracing the C-genome evolutionary history in Oryza officinalis complex, this study revealed the genomic relationships, polyploid forming and diverging times, and diploidization process, based on phylogeny, molecular-clock analyses and fluorescent in situ hybridization using genome-specific probes. Results showed that C-genome split with B-genome at ca. 4.8 Mya, followed by a series of speciation of C-genome diploids (ca. 1.8-0.9 Mya), which then partook in successive polyploidization events, forming CCDD tetraploids in ca. 0.9 Mya, and stepwise forming BBCC tetraploids between ca. 0.3-0.6 Mya. Inter-genomic translocations between B- and C-genomes were identified in BBCC tetraploid, O. punctata. Distinct FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) patterns among three CCDD species were visualized by C-genome-specific probes. B-genome was modified before forming the BBCC tetraploid, O. malampuzhaensis. CONCLUSION:C-genome, shared by all polyploid species in the complex, had experienced different evolutionary history particularly after polyploidization, e.g., inter-genomic exchange in BBCC and genomic invasion in CCDD tetraploids. It diverged from B-genome at 4.8 Mya, then participated in the tetraploid formation spanning from 0.9 to 0.3 Mya, and spread into tropics of the disjunct continents by transcontinentally long-distance dispersal, instead of vicariance, as proposed by this study, given that the continental splitting was much earlier than the C-genome species radiation. We also find reliable evidence indicated that an extinct BB diploid species in Asia was presumptively the direct genomic donor of their sympatric tetraploids.
