PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:4169. [PMID: 38140496 PMCID: PMC10747672 DOI: 10.3390/plants12244169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Pseudoroegneria species play an important role among Triticeae grasses, as they are the putative donors of the St genome in many polyploid species. Satellite repeats are widely used as a reliable tool for tracking evolutionary changes because they are distributed throughout the genomes of plants. The aim of our work is to perform a comparative characterization of the repeatomes of the closely related species Ps. libanotica and Ps. tauri, and Ps. spicata was also included in the analysis. The overall repeatome structures of Ps. libanotica, Ps. tauri, and Ps. spicata were similar, with some individual peculiarities observed in the abundance of the SIRE (Ty1/Copia) retrotransposons, Mutator and Harbinger transposons, and satellites. Nine new satellite repeats that have been identified from the whole-genome sequences of Ps. spicata and Ps. tauri, as well as the CL244 repeat that was previously found in Aegilops crassa, were localized to the chromosomes of Ps. libanotica and Ps. tauri. Four satellite repeats (CL69, CL101, CL119, CL244) demonstrated terminal and/or distal localization, while six repeats (CL82, CL89, CL168, CL185, CL192, CL207) were pericentromeric. Based on the obtained results, it can be assumed that Ps. libanotica and Ps. tauri are closely related species, although they have individual peculiarities in their repeatome structures and patterns of satellite repeat localization on chromosomes. The evolutionary fate of the identified satellite repeats and their related sequences, as well as their distribution on the chromosomes of Triticeae species, are discussed. The newly developed St genome chromosome markers developed in the present research can be useful in population studies of Ps. libanotica and Ps. tauri; auto- and allopolyploids that contain the St genome, such as Thinopyrum, Elymus, Kengyilia, and Roegneria; and wide hybrids between wheat and related wild species.

Abstract
A molecular cytogenetic investigation was conducted on plants of the allohexaploid species Elymus nutans with varying fertility on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Molecular karyotyping revealed that chromosome variants were distributed unevenly among genomes and among different homologue chromosomes in each genome. The plants with varying fertility exhibited significantly higher numbers of chromosome variants than did the normal fertility samples, although both kinds of plants showed the same pattern of high-to-low polymorphism from the Y to St and H genomes. Heterozygosis and karyotype heterozygosity in the plants with varying fertility were 3- and 13-fold higher than those in normal samples, respectively. Significant negative correlations were found not only between seed setting rates and total genome heterozygosity but also between seed setting rates and heterozygosity of each genome in the plants of varying fertility. Chromosome pairing analysis was performed using genomic in situ hybridization in selected plants of different fertility levels. The pairing of chromosomes at meiotic metaphase I was mostly bivalent, although univalent, trivalent, quadrivalent, and other polyvalents also occurred; in addition, chromosome configuration forms and frequencies varied among the studied samples. ANOVA results showed that the average number of ring bivalents in the Y genome was significantly higher than those in the St and H genomes. Significant positive correlations between pollen grain fertility and ring bivalent number were found in the St and H genomes but not in the Y genome. Furthermore, chromosome configuration parameters (total bivalents, numbers of ring and rod bivalents) were found to be significantly correlated with heterozygosity and seed setting rates in the St and H genomes, respectively, but not in the Y genome. It was inferred that the seed setting rate and pollen grain fertility in E. nutans are strongly influenced by the heterozygosity of each genome, but the Y genome differs from the St and H genomes due to chromosome pair alterations. The St and H genomes may contain more chromosome structural variations than the Y genome in E. nutans.

Abstract
The species of Orinus (Poaceae) are important alpine plants with a variety of phenotypic traits and potential usages in molecular breeding toward drought-tolerant forage crops. However, the genetic basis of evolutionary adaption and diversification in the genus is still unclear. In the present study, we obtained transcriptomes for the two most divergent species, O. thoroldii and O. kokonoricus, using the Illumina platform and de novo assembly. In total, we generated 23,029 and 24,086 unigenes with N50 values of 1188 and 1203 for O. thoroldii and O. kokonoricus respectively, and identified 19,005 pairs of putative orthologs between the two species of Orinus. For these orthologs, estimations of non-synonymous/synonymous substitution rate ratios indicated that 568 pairs may be under strongly positive selection (Ka/Ks > 1), and Gene Ontogeny (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that significantly enriched pathways were in DNA repair and resistance to abiotic stress. Meanwhile, the divergence times of species between O. thoroldii and O. kokonoricus occurred 3.2 million years ago (Mya), and the recent evolutionary branch is an allotetraploid species, Cleistogenes songorica. We also detected a Ks peak of ∼0.60 for Orinus. Additionally, we identified 188 pairs of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two species of Orinus, which were significantly enrich in stress resistance and lateral root development. Thus, we considered that the species diversification and evolutionary adaption of this genus was initiated by environmental selection, followed by phenotypic differentiation, finally leading to niche separation in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Abstract
Wheat grain yield is affected by plant height, which is the total length of spike, the uppermost internode, and other elongated internodes. In this study, a population of recombinant inbred lines generated from a cross between two advanced winter wheat breeding lines were phenotyped over four locations/years and genotyped by using markers of genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and Diversity Array Technology (DArT) for mapping of genes for three traits, including spike length, the uppermost internode length, and plant height. Five genomic regions or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were associated with candidate genes for these traits. A major QTL was associated with Q5A, and two novel haplotypes of Q5A were identified, one for a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position -2,149 in promoter region and the other for copy number variation. Compared with one copy Q5A on chromosome 5A in Chinese Spring, the novel haplotype of Q5A with two copies Q5A was found to generate spikes that are extremely compacted. A major QTL was associated with allelic variation in the recessive vrn-A1 alleles involving in protein sequences, and this QTL was associated with increased uppermost internode length but not with plant height. A major QTL for plant height was associated with Rht-B1b on chromosome 4B, but its effects could be compromised by two new minor QTLs on chromosome 7. Collectively, the favorable alleles from the four loci can be used to establish the optimal plant height in wheat.

Abstract
Allohexaploidization and continuous introgression play a key role in the origin and evolution of bread wheat. The genetic bottleneck of bread wheat resulting from limited germplasms involved in the origin and modern breeding may be compensated by gene flow from tetraploid wheat through introgressive hybridization. The inter-ploidy hybridization between hexaploid and tetraploid wheat generates pentaploid hybrids first, which absorbed genetic variations both from hexaploid and tetraploid wheat and have great potential for re-evolution and improvement in bread wheat. Therefore, understanding the effects of the pentaploid hybrid is of apparent significance in our understanding of the historic introgression and in informing breeding. In the current study, two sets of F2 populations of synthetic pentaploid wheat (SPW1 and SPW2) and synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW1 and SHW2) were created to analyze differences in recombination frequency (RF) of AB genomes and distorted segregation of polymorphic SNP markers through SNP genotyping. Results suggested that (1) the recombination of AB genomes in the SPW populations was about 3- to 4-fold higher than that in the SHW populations, resulting from the significantly (P < 0.01) increased RF between adjacent and linked SNP loci, especially the variations that occurred in a pericentromeric region which would further enrich genetic diversity; (2) the crosses of hexaploid × tetraploid wheat could be an efficient way to produce pentaploid derivatives than the crosses of tetraploid × hexaploid wheat according to the higher germination rate found in the former crosses; (3) the high proportion of distorted segregation loci that skewed in favor of the female parent genotype/allele in the SPW populations might associate with the fitness and survival of the offspring. Based on the presented data, we propose that pentaploid hybrids should increasingly be used in wheat breeding. In addition, the contribution of gene flow from tetraploid wheat to bread wheat mediated by pentaploid introgressive hybridization also was discussed in the re-evolution of bread wheat.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Until now, the most likely direct maternal progenitor (AABB) for common wheat (AABBDD) has yet to be identified. Here, we try to solve this particular problem with the specificity of a novel gene family in wheat and by using large population of rare germplasm resources. OBJECTIVES Dissect the novelty of TaCAF1Ia subfamily in wheat. Exploit the conservative and specific characteristics of TaCAF1Ia1 to reveal the origin of the maternal progenitor for common wheat. METHODS Phylogenetic and collinear analysis of TaCAF1 genes were performed to identify the evolutionary specificity of TaCAF1Ia subfamily. The large-scale expression patterns and interaction patterns analysis of CCR4-NOT complex were used to clarify the expressed and structural specificity of TaCAF1Ia subfamily in wheat. The population resequencing and phylogeny analysis of the TaCAF1Ia1 were utilized for the traceability analysis to understand gene-pool exchanges during the transferring and subsequent development from tetraploid to hexaploidy wheat. RESULTS TaCAF1Ia is a novel non-typical CAF1 subfamily without DEDD (Asp-Glu-Asp-Asp) domain, whose members were extensively duplicated in wheat genome. The replication events had started and constantly evolved from ancestor species. Specifically, it was found that a key member CAF1Ia1 was highly specialized and only existed in the subB genome and S genome. Unlike CAF1s reported in other plants, TaCAF1Ia genes may be new factors for anther development. These atypical TaCAF1s could also form CCR4-NOT complex in wheat but with new interaction sites. Utilizing the particular but conserved characteristics of the TaCAF1Ia1 gene, the comparative analysis of haplotypes composition for TaCAF1Ia1 were identified among wheat populations with different ploidy levels. Based on this, the dual-lineages origin model of maternal progenitor for common wheat and potential three-lineages domestication model for cultivated tetraploid wheat were proposed. CONCLUSION This study brings fresh insights for revealing the origin of wheat and the function of CAF1 in plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elymus breviaristatus and Elymus sinosubmuticus are perennial herbs, not only morphologically similar but also sympatric distribution. The genome composition of E. sinosubmuticus has not been reported, and the relationship between E. sinosubmuticus and E. breviaristatus is still controversial. We performed artificial hybridization, genomic in situ hybridization, and phylogenetic analyses to clarify whether the two taxa were the same species. RESULTS The high frequency bivalent (with an average of 20.62 bivalents per cell) at metaphase I of pollen mother cells of the artificial hybrids of E. breviaristatus (StYH) × E. sinosubmuticus was observed. It illustrated that E. sinosubmuticus was closely related to E. breviaristatus. Based on genomic in situ hybridization results, we confirmed that E. sinosubmuticus was an allohexaploid, and the genomic constitution was StYH. Phylogenetic analysis results also supported that this species contained St, Y, and H genomes. In their F1 hybrids, pollen activity was 53.90%, and the seed setting rate was 22.46%. Those indicated that the relationship between E. sinosubmuticus and E. breviaristatus is intersubspecific rather than interspecific, and it is reasonable to treated E. sinosubmuticus as the subspecies of E. breviaristatus. CONCLUSIONS In all, the genomic constitutions of E. sinosubmuticus and E. breviaristatus were StYH, and they are species in the genus Campeiostachys. Because E. breviaristatus was treated as Campeistachys breviaristata, Elymus sinosubmuticus should be renamed Campeiostachys breviaristata (Keng) Y. H. Zhou, H. Q. Zhang et C. R. Yang subsp. sinosubmuticus (S. L. Chen) Y. H. Zhou, H. Q. Zhang et L. Tan.

Abstract
Kengyilia is a group of allohexaploid species that arose from two hybridization events followed by genome doubling of three ancestral diploid species with different genomes St, Y, and P in the Triticeae. Estimating the phylogenetic relationship in resolution of the maternal lineages has been difficult, owing to the extremely low rate of sequence divergence. Here, phylogenetic reconstructions based on the plastome sequences were used to explore the role of maternal progenitors in the establishment of Kengyilia polyploid species. The plastome sequences of 11 Kengyilia species were analyzed together with 12 tetraploid species (PP, StP, and StY) and 33 diploid taxa representing 20 basic genomes in the Triticeae. Phylogenomic analysis and genetic divergence patterns suggested that (1) Kengyilia is closely related to Roegneria, Pseudoroegneria, Agropyron, Lophopyrum, Thinopyrum, and Dasypyrum; (2) both the StY genome Roegneria tetraploids and the PP genome Agropyron tetraploids served as the maternal donors during the speciation of Kengyilia species; (3) the different Kengyilia species derived their StY genome from different Roegneria species. Multiple origins of species via independent polyploidization events have occurred in the genus Kengyilia, resulting in a maternal haplotype polymorphism. This helps explain the rich diversity and wide adaptation of polyploid species in the genus Kengyilia.

Abstract
Thinopyrum elongatum is an important gene pool for wheat genetic improvement. However, the origins of the Thinopyrum genomes and the nature of the genus' intraspecific relationships are still controversial. In this study, we used single-copy nuclear genes and non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) to characterize genome constitution and chromosome differentiation in Th. elongatum. According to phylogenetic analyses based on PepC and Pgk1 genes, there was an E genome with three versions (Ee, Eb, Ex) and St genomes in the polyploid Th. elongatum. The ND-FISH results of pSc119.2 and pAs1 revealed that the karyotypes of diploid Th. elongatum and Th. bessarabicum were different, and the chromosome differentiation occurred among accessions of the diploid Th. elongatum. In addition, the tetraploid Th. elongatum has two groups of ND-FISH karyotype, indicating that the tetraploid Th. elongatum might be a segmental allotetraploid. In summary, our results suggested that the diploid Th. elongatum, Th. Bessarabicum, and Pseudoroegneria were the donors of the Ee, Eb, and St genomes to the polyploid Th. elongatum, respectively.

Mol Phylogenet Evol 2021; 159:107110. [PMID: 33609709 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2021.107110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
In this study, we analyzed 313 plastid genomes (plastomes) of Poaceae with a focus on expanding our current knowledge of relationships among the subfamily Pooideae, which represented over half the dataset (164 representatives). In total, 47 plastomes were sequenced and assembled for this study. This is the largest study of its kind to include plastome-level data, to not only increase sampling at both the taxonomic and molecular levels with the aim of resolving complex and reticulate relationships, but also to analyze the effects of alignment gaps in large-scale analyses, as well as explore divergences in the subfamily with an expanded set of 14 accepted grass fossils for more accurate calibrations and dating. Incorporating broad systematic assessments of Pooideae taxa conducted by authors within the last five years, we produced a robust phylogenomic reconstruction for the subfamily, which included all but two supergeneric taxa (Calothecinae and Duthieeae). We further explored how including alignment gaps in plastome analyses oftentimes can produce incorrect or misinterpretations of complex or reticulate relationships among taxa of Pooideae. This presented itself as consistently changing relationships at specific nodes for different stripping thresholds (percentage-based removal of gaps per alignment column). Our summary recommendation for large-scale genomic plastome datasets is to strip alignment columns of all gaps to increase pairwise identity and reduce errant signal from poly A/T bias. To do this we used the "mask alignment" tool in Geneious software. Finally, we determined an overall divergence age for Pooideae of roughly 84.8 Mya, which is in line with, but slightly older than most recent estimates.

Mol Phylogenet Evol 2020; 149:106838. [PMID: 32304825 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2020.106838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/09/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
To investigate the diploid-polyploid relationships and the role of maternal progenitors in establishment of polyploid richness in Triticeae, 35 polyploids representing almost all genomic constitutions together with 48 diploid taxa representing 20 basic genomes in the tribe were analyzed. Phylogenomic reconstruction, genetic distance matrix, and nucleotide diversity patterns of plastome sequences indicated that (1) The maternal donor of the annual polyploid species with the U- and D-genome are related to extant Ae. umbellulata and Ae. tauschii, respectively. The maternal donor to the annual polyploid species with the S-, G-, and B-genome originated from the species of Sitopsis section of the genus Aegilops. The annual species with the Xe-containing polyploids were donated by Eremopyrum as the female parent; (2) Pseudoroegneria and Psathyrostachys were the maternal donor of perennial species with the St- and Ns-containing polyploids, respectively; (3) The Lophopyrum, Thinopyrum and Dasypyrum genomes contributed cytoplasm genome to Pseudoroegneria species as a result of incomplete lineage sorting and/or chloroplast captures, and these lineages were genetically transmitted to the St-containing polyploid species via polyploidization; (4) There is a reticulate relationship among the St-containing polyploid species. It can be suggested that genetic heterogeneity might associate with the richness of the polyploids in Triticeae.

EST-SSR marker development based on RNA-sequencing of E. sibiricus and its application for phylogenetic relationships analysis of seventeen Elymus species. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2019; 19:235. [PMID: 31159732 PMCID: PMC6547490 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-019-1825-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2018] [Accepted: 05/09/2019] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elymus L. is the largest genus in the tribe Triticeae Dumort., encompassing approximately 150 polyploid perennial species widely distributed in the temperate regions of the world. It is considered to be an important gene pool for improving cereal crops. However, a shortage of molecular marker limits the efficiency and accuracy of genetic breeding for Elymus species. High-throughput transcriptome sequencing data is essential for gene discovery and molecular marker development. RESULTS We obtained the transcriptome dataset of E. sibiricus, the type species of the genus Elymus, and identified a total of 8871 putative EST-SSRs from 6685 unigenes. Trinucleotides were the dominant repeat motif (4760, 53.66%), followed by dinucleotides (1993, 22.47%) and mononucleotides (1876, 21.15%). The most dominant trinucleotide repeat motif was CCG/CGG (1119, 23.5%). Sequencing of PCR products showed that the sequenced alleles from different Elymus species were homologous to the original SSR locus from which the primer was designed. Different types of tri-repeats as abundant SSR motifs were observed in repeat regions. Two hundred EST-SSR primer pairs were designed and selected to amplify ten DNA samples of Elymus species. Eighty-seven pairs of primer (43.5%) generated clear and reproducible bands with expected size, and showed good transferability across different Elymus species. Finally, thirty primer pairs successfully amplified ninety-five accessions of seventeen Elymus species, and detected significant amounts of polymorphism. In general, hexaploid Elymus species with genomes StStHHYY had a relatively higher level of genetic diversity (H = 0.219, I = 0.330, %P = 63.7), while tetraploid Elymus species with genomes StStYY had low level of genetic diversity (H = 0.182, I = 0.272, %P = 50.4) in the study. The cluster analysis showed that all ninety-five accessions were clustered into three major clusters. The accessions were grouped mainly according to their genomic components and origins. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that transcriptome sequencing is a fast and cost-effective approach to molecular marker development. These EST-SSR markers developed in this study are valuable tools for genetic diversity, evolutionary, and molecular breeding in E. sibiricus, and other Elymus species.

Genome constitution and evolution of Elytrigia lolioides inferred from Acc1, EF-G, ITS, TrnL-F sequences and GISH. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2019; 19:158.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elytrigia lolioides (Kar. et Kir.) Nevski, which is a perennial, cross-pollinating wheatgrass that is distributed in Russia and Kazakhstan, is classified into Elytrigia, Elymus, and Lophopyrum genera by taxonomists on the basis of different taxonomic classification systems. However, the genomic constitution of E. lolioides is still unknown. To identify the genome constitution and evolution of E. lolioides, we used single-copy nuclear genes acetyl-CoA carboxylase (Acc1) and elongation factor G (EF-G), multi-copy nuclear gene internal transcribed space (ITS), chloroplast gene trnL-F together with fluorescence and genomic in situ hybridization. RESULTS Despite the widespread homogenization of ITS sequences, two distinct lineages (genera Pseudoroegneria and Hordeum) were identified. Acc1 and EF-G sequences suggested that in addition to Pseudoroegneria and Hordeum, unknown genome was the third potential donor of E. lolioides. Data from chloroplast DNA showed that Pseudoroegneria is the maternal donor of E. lolioides. Data from specific FISH marker for St genome indicated that E. lolioides has two sets of St genomes. Both genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results confirmed the presence of Hordeum genome in this species. When E genome was used as the probe, no signal was found in 42 chromosomes. The E-like copy of Acc1 sequences was detected in E. lolioides possibly due to the introgression from E genome species. One of the H chromosomes in the accession W6-26586 from Kazakhstan did not hybridize H genome signals but had St genome signals on the pericentromeric regions in the two-color GISH. CONCLUSIONS Phylogenetic and in situ hybridization indicated the presence of two sets of Pseudoroegneria and one set of Hordeum genome in E. lolioides. The genome formula of E. lolioides was designed as StStStStHH. E. lolioides may have originated through the hybridization between tetraploid Elymus (StH) and diploid Pseudoroegneria species. E and unknown genomes may participate in the speciation of E. lolioides through introgression. According to the genome classification system, E. lolioides should be transferred into Elymus L. and renamed as Elymus lolioidus (Kar. er Kir.) Meld.

Abstract
Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertner, a perennial grass in the tribe Triticeae (Poaceae), is a wild relative of cereal crops that is suitable for genetic improvement. In this study, we first sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Ag. cristatum using Hiseq4000 PE150. The Ag. cristatum chloroplast genome is 135,554bp in length, has a typical quadripartite structure and contains 76 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. The cp genome of Ag. cristatum was used for comparison with other seven Triticeae species. One large variable region (800bp), which primarily contained the rpl23 (non-reciprocally translocated from IRs) and accD genes, was detected between rbcL gene and psaI gene within LSC region. The deletion of the accD and translocated rpl23 genes in Ag. cristatum indicated an independent gene-loss events or an additional divergence in Triticeae. Analyses of the dn/ds ratio and K2-P's genetic distance for 76 protein-coding genes showed that genes with evolutionary divergence might suffer from the effect of sequence regional constraints or gene functional constraints in Triticeae species. Our research will generally contribute to the knowledge of plastid genome evolution in Triticeae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elytrigia Desv. is a genus with a varied array of morphology, cytology, ecology, and distribution in Triticeae. Classification and systematic position of Elytrigia remain controversial. We used nuclear internal-transcribed spacer (nrITS) sequences and chloroplast trnL-F region to study the relationships of phylogenetic and maternal genome donor of Elytrigia Desv. sensu lato. RESULTS (1) E, F, P, St, and W genomes bear close relationship with one another and are distant from H and Ns genomes. Ee and Eb are homoeologous. (2) In ESt genome species, E genome is the origin of diploid Elytrigia species with E genome, St genome is the origin of Pseudoroegneria. (3) Diploid species Et. elongata were differentiated. (4) Et. stipifolia and Et. varnensis sequences are diverse based on nrITS data. (5) Et. lolioides contains St and H genomes and belongs to Elymus s. l. (6) E genome diploid species in Elytrigia serve as maternal donors of E genome for Et. nodosa (PI547344), Et. farcta, Et. pontica, Et. pycnantha, Et. scirpea, and Et. scythica. At least two species act as maternal donor of allopolyploids (ESt and EStP genomes). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that Elytrigia s. l. species contain different genomes, which should be divided into different genera. However, the genomes of Elytrigia species had close relationships with one another. Diploid species were differentiated, because of introgression and different geographical sources. The results also suggested that the same species and the same genomes of different species have different maternal donor. Further study of molecular biology and cytology could facilitate the evaluation of our results of phylogenetic in a more specific and accurate way.

[PMID: 30159500 PMCID: PMC6112273 DOI: 10.1016/j.pld.2017.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2016] [Revised: 05/10/2017] [Accepted: 05/10/2017] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The karyotypes of 27 individuals of Elymus nutans from eight wild populations in the Qinghai Plateau were analyzed using sequential FISH and GISH. High FISH pattern polymorphism and karyotype variation were detected within and among populations. The chromosome variations were mainly characterized as repeat deletions and amplifications along with inter-genomic translocations. The chromosomes of the St and Y genomes demonstrated higher polymorphism than those of the H genome. Six different inter-genomic translocations were identified in 33.3% of individuals; type I and II translocations were detected with higher frequency. Further analysis revealed that type I and II translocations were distributed in different geographic regions. The origin of high karyotype variation of E. nutans in the Qinghai plateau is further discussed.

Contrasting evolutionary patterns of multiple loci uncover new aspects in the genome origin and evolutionary history of Leymus (Triticeae; Poaceae). Mol Phylogenet Evol 2017; 114:175-188.

Abstract
Leymus Hochst. (Triticeae: Poaceae), a group of allopolyploid species with the NsXm genomes, is a perennial genus with diversity in morphology, cytology, ecology, and distribution in the Triticeae. To investigate the genome origin and evolutionary history of Leymus, three unlinked low-copy nuclear genes (Acc1, Pgk1, and GBSSI) and three chloroplast regions (trnL-F, matK, and rbcL) of 32 Leymus species were analyzed with those of 36 diploid species representing 18 basic genomes in the Triticeae. The phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed using Bayesian inference, Maximum parsimony, and NeighborNet methods. A time-calibrated phylogeny was generated to estimate the evolutionary history of Leymus. The results suggest that reticulate evolution has occurred in Leymus species, with several distinct progenitors contributing to the Leymus. The molecular data in resolution of the Xm-genome lineage resulted in two apparently contradictory results, with one placing the Xm-genome lineage as closely related to the P/F genome and the other splitting the Xm-genome lineage as sister to the Ns-genome donor. Our results suggested that (1) the Ns genome of Leymus was donated by Psathyrostachys, and additional Ns-containing alleles may be introgressed into some Leymus polyploids by recurrent hybridization; (2) The phylogenetic incongruence regarding the resolution of the Xm-genome lineage suggested that the Xm genome of Leymus was closely related to the P genome of Agropyron; (3) Both Ns- and Xm-genome lineages served as the maternal donor during the speciation of Leymus species; (4) The Pseudoroegneria, Lophopyrum and Australopyrum genomes contributed to some Leymus species.

Abstract
The St genome is one of the most fundamental genomes in Triticeae. Repetitive sequences are widely used to distinguish different genomes or species. The primary objectives of this study were to (i) screen a new sequence that could easily distinguish the chromosome of the St genome from those of other genomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and (ii) investigate the genome constitution of some species that remain uncertain and controversial. We used degenerated oligonucleotide primer PCR (Dop-PCR), Dot-blot, and FISH to screen for a new marker of the St genome and to test the efficiency of this marker in the detection of the St chromosome at different ploidy levels. Signals produced by a new FISH marker (denoted St2-80) were present on the entire arm of chromosomes of the St genome, except in the centromeric region. On the contrary, St2-80 signals were present in the terminal region of chromosomes of the E, H, P, and Y genomes. No signal was detected in the A and B genomes, and only weak signals were detected in the terminal region of chromosomes of the D genome. St2-80 signals were obvious and stable in chromosomes of different genomes, whether diploid or polyploid. Therefore, St2-80 is a potential and useful FISH marker that can be used to distinguish the St genome from those of other genomes in Triticeae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anthosachne Steudel is a group of allopolyploid species that was derived from hexaploidization between the Asian StY genome Roegneria entity and the Australasia W genome Australopyrum species. Polyploidization and apomixis contribute to taxonomic complexity in Anthosachne Here, a study is presented on the phylogeny and evolutionary history of Anthosachne australasica The aims are to demonstrate the process of polyploidization events and to explore the differentiation patterns of the St genome following geographic isolation. METHODS Chloroplast rbcL and trnH-psbA and nuclear Acc1 gene sequences of 60 Anthosachne taxa and nine Roegneria species were analysed with those of 33 diploid taxa representing 20 basic genomes in Triticeae. The phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed. A time-calibrated phylogeny was generated to estimate the evolutionary history of A. australasica Nucleotide diversity patterns were used to assess the divergence within A. australasica and between Anthosachne and its putative progenitors. KEY RESULTS Three homoeologous copies of the Acc1 sequences from Anthosachne were grouped with the Acc1 sequences from Roegneria, Pseudoroegneria, Australopyrum, Dasypyrum and Peridictyon The chloroplast sequences of Anthosachne were clustered with those from Roegneria and Pseudoroegneria Divergence time for Anthosachne was dated to 4·66 million years ago (MYA). The level of nucleotide diversity in Australasian Anthosachne was higher than that in continental Roegneria A low level of genetic differentiation within the A. australasica complex was found. CONCLUSIONS Anthosachne originated from historical hybridization between Australopyrum species and a Roegneria entity colonized from Asia to Australasia via South-east Asia during the late Miocene. The St lineage served as the maternal donor during the speciation of Anthosachne A contrasting pattern of population genetic structure exists in the A. australasica complex. Greater diversity in island Anthosachne compared with continental Roegneria might be associated with mutation, polyploidization, apomixis and expansion. It is reasonable to consider that A. australasica var. scabra and A. australasica var. plurinervisa should be included in the A. australasica complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hybridization and polyploidization can be major mechanisms for plant evolution and speciation. Thus, the process of polyploidization and evolutionary history of polyploids is of widespread interest. The species in Elymus L. sensu lato are allopolyploids that share a common St genome from Pseudoroegneria in different combinations with H, Y, P, and W genomes. But how the St genome evolved in the Elymus s. l. during the hybridization and polyploidization events remains unclear. We used nuclear and chloroplast DNA-based phylogenetic analyses to shed some light on this process. RESULTS The Maximum likelihood (ML) tree based on nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (nrITS) data showed that the Pseudoroegneria, Hordeum and Agropyron species served as the St, H and P genome diploid ancestors, respectively, for the Elymus s. l. polyploids. The ML tree for the chloroplast genes (matK and the intergenic region of trnH-psbA) suggests that the Pseudoroegneria served as the maternal donor of the St genome for Elymus s. l. Furthermore, it suggested that Pseudoroegneria species from Central Asia and Europe were more ancient than those from North America. The molecular evolution in the St genome appeared to be non-random following the polyploidy event with a departure from the equilibrium neutral model due to a genetic bottleneck caused by recent polyploidization. CONCLUSION Our results suggest the ancient common maternal ancestral genome in Elymus s. l. is the St genome from Pseudoroegneria. The evolutionary differentiation of the St genome in Elymus s. l. after rise of this group may have multiple causes, including hybridization and polyploidization. They also suggest that E. tangutorum should be treated as C. dahurica var. tangutorum, and E. breviaristatus should be transferred into Campeiostachys. We hypothesized that the Elymus s. l. species origined in Central Asia and Europe, then spread to North America. Further study of intraspecific variation may help us evaluate our phylogenetic results in greater detail and with more certainty.

Abstract
Two uncorrelated nucleotide sequences, chloroplast intergenic spacer psbA-trnH and acetyl CoA carboxylase gene (Acc1), were used to perform phylogenetic analyses in 75 accessions of the genus Avena, representing 13 diploids, seven tetraploid, and four hexaploids by maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference. Phylogenic analyses based on the chloroplast intergenic spacer psbA-trnH confirmed that the A genome diploid might be the maternal donor of species of the genus Avena. Two haplotypes of the Acc1 gene region were obtained from the AB genome tetraploids, indicating an allopolyploid origin for the tetraploid species. Among the AB genome species, both gene trees revealed differences between Avena agadiriana and the other species, suggesting that an AS genome diploid might be the A genome donor and the other genome diploid donor might be the Ac genome diploid Avena canariensis or the Ad genome diploid Avena damascena. Three haplotypes of the Acc1 gene have been detected among the ACD genome hexaploid species. The haplotype that seems to represent the D genome clustered with the tetraploid species Avena murphyi and Avena maroccana, which supported the CD genomic designation instead of AC for A. murphyi and A. maroccana.

Abstract
It has widely been documented that life form and mating system have significant influences on genetic diversity. In the tribe Triticeae, several genera contain both annual and perennial species, whereas other genera comprise strictly annual or perennial species. It was suggested that Triticeae annuals have originated from Triticeae perennials. The present study aims to analyze nucleotide diversity of Acc-1 gene among different Triticeae genomes, and attempts to link effects of life history (annuals and perennials) and mating systems. The nucleotide diversity of 364 Acc-1 sequences in Triticeae species was characterized. The highest estimates of nucleotide diversity values (π=0.01919, θ=0.03515) were found for the Ns genome among the genomes analyzed. Nucleotide diversities in the D genome and Ns genome of polyploids are higher than those in respective genomes of diploids, while in the St genome of polyploids, it is lower than that in the St genome of diploids. The averaged π value (0.013705) in the genomes of perennials is more than twice of the value (0.00508) in the genomes of annuals. The averaged π value (0.01323) in the genomes of outcrossing species is two-fold of the value (0.005664) in the genomes of selfer. Our results suggested that the evolutionary history and mating system may play an important role in determining nucleotide diversity of Acc-1 gene in each genome.

Abstract
Ribosomal ITS polymorphism and its ancestral genome origin of polyploid Leymus were examined to infer the evolutionary outcome of rDNA gene following allopolyploid speciation and to elucidate the geographic pattern of ITS variation. The results demonstrated that different polyploids have experienced varying fates, including maintenance or homogenization of divergent arrays, occurrence of chimeric repeats and potential pseudogenes. Our data suggested that (1) the Ns, P/F, and St genomic types in Leymus were originated from Psathyrostachys, Agropyron/Eremopyrum, and Pseudoroegneria, respectively; (2) the occurrence of a higher proportion of Leymus species with predominant uniparental rDNA type might associate with the segmental allopolyploid origin, nucleolar dominance of alloploids, and rapid radiation of Leymus; (3) maintenance of multiple parental ITS types in allopolyploid might result from long generation times associated to vegetative multiplication, number and chromosomal location of ribosomal loci and/or recurrent hybridization; (4) the rDNA genealogical structure of Leymus species might associate with the geographic origins; and (5) ITS sequence clade shared by Leymus species from Central Asia, North America, and Nordic might be an outcome of ancestral ITS homogenization. Our results shed new light on understanding evolutionary outcomes of rDNA following allopolyploid speciation and geographic isolation.
