A common molecular basis to the convergent evolution of the selfing syndrome in Capsella.

Project description:Whether, and to what extent, phenotypic evolution follows predictable genetic paths, remains an important question in evolutionary biology. Convergent evolution of similar characters provides a unique opportunity to address this question. The transition to selfing and the associated changes in flower morphology are among the most prominent examples of repeated evolution in plants. Yet, to date no studies have directly compared the extent of similarities between convergent adaptations to selfing. In this study, we take advantage of the independent transitions to self-fertilization in the genus Capsella to test the existence of genetic and developmental constraints imposed on flower evolution in the context of the selfing syndrome. While C. rubella and C. orientalis have emerged independently, both have evolved almost identical flower characters. Not only the evolutionary outcome is identical but, in both cases, the same developmental strategies underlie the convergent reduction of flower size. This has been associated with convergent evolution of gene-expression changes. The transcriptomic changes common to both selfing lineages are enriched in genes with low-network connectivity and with organ-specific expression patterns. Comparative genetic mapping also indicates that, at least in the case of petal size evolution, these similarities are largely caused by mutations at the same loci. Together, these results suggest that the limited availability of low-pleiotropy paths predetermine closely related species to similar evolutionary outcomes.

Species-specific variation in mental gland secretions of turtles revealed by proteomic and lipidomic profiling

Project description:Chemical signaling through pheromones is an ancient and widespread mode of communication. Turtles and tortoises (chelonians) secrete pheromones via mental (chin) glands and have superior olfactory capacities rendering them a promising group to study the evolution and function of chemical communication in vertebrates. Here, we use state-of-the art proteomics and lipidomics techniques to identify and explore the possible functions of proteins and lipids secreted by mental glands in turtles. We examined four turtle species all from the family Geoemydidae, to understand among-species as well as sexual variation in the composition of mental gland secretions. Differential expression of a relatively small number (ca. 65) of proteins explained a large portion of the proteome variation across species, highlighting the existence of specific signals evolving even in closely related species. Lipidomic analysis revealed high inter-individual variation but species differences could be attributed to five differing lipid classes. The lipids found in mental glands could have a dietary origin or be related to individual condition but may nonetheless be used in communication. We also examined sex-specific differences in the proteome of a single species (Mauremys leprosa) and found that males expressed a much larger array of proteins than females. Our findings establish a group of candidate proteins potentially involved in chemical signaling freshwater geoemydid turtles. Alternatively, differently expressed proteins in mental glands could have an indirect link to chemical communication, being involved in pheromone transport and/or antioxidant protection.

Identification and characterization of miRNAs in temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) of Chinese pond turtles (Mauremys reevesii)

Project description:In the present study, the eggs of Chinese pond turtles (Mauremys reevesii) were incubated at three temperatures (26℃, 29℃ and 32℃). During the thermosensitive period (TSP) of incubation, the adrenal-kidney-gonad (AKG) complexes were sampled, and a comprehensive investigation for miRNAs was performed using next-generation small RNA sequencing.

A mechanism of gene evolution generating mucin function

Project description:How novel gene functions evolve is a fundamental question in biology. Mucin proteins, a functionally but not evolutionarily defined group of proteins, allow to study convergent evolution of gene function. By analyzing the genomic variation of mucins across a wide range of mammalian genomes, we propose that exonic repeats and their copy number variation contribute substantially to the de novo evolution of new gene functions. By integrating bioinformatic, phylogenetic, proteomic, and immunohistochemical approaches, we identified 15 undescribed instances of evolutionary convergence, where novel mucins originated by gaining densely O-glycosylated exonic repeat domains. Our results suggest that secreted proteins rich in proline are natural precursors for acquiring mucin function. Our findings have broad implications for understanding the role of exonic repeats in the parallel evolution of new gene functions, especially those involving protein glycosylation.

RNA-seq analysis of alternative splicing between two Arabidopsis accessions and its inheritance in hybrid

Project description:To uncover the possible regulatory mechanism in regulatory alternative splicing in plants evolution, we used RNA-seq to compare the transcriptomes in Arabidopsis ecotypes Col and C24. We found different class of AS types have different regulatory mechanisms in Arabidopsis and divergence of alternative splicing in different class is varied in evolution. Sequence variation analysis had found evolution divergent AS events significantly altered their sequences compared to conserved events and the variation is AS class specific.
