S Phase Duration Is Determined by Local Rate and Global Organization of Replication. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11050718.

Abstract
Simple Summary In order for a cell to divide into two cells, it must first copy its DNA. Although the time required for this process tends not to vary much, many examples of the importance of variability have been reported. In this review, we discuss the methods used to study this question, present some of the examples of variation, and attempt to explain the factors that determine the time required in simple terms. We will show that the overall time depends on the rate of DNA replication within a region, and on the temporal organization of the regions relative to each other. Abstract The duration of the cell cycle has been extensively studied and a wide degree of variability exists between cells, tissues and organisms. However, the duration of S phase has often been neglected, due to the false assumption that S phase duration is relatively constant. In this paper, we describe the methodologies to measure S phase duration, summarize the existing knowledge about its variability and discuss the key factors that control it. The local rate of replication (LRR), which is a combination of fork rate (FR) and inter-origin distance (IOD), has a limited influence on S phase duration, partially due to the compensation between FR and IOD. On the other hand, the organization of the replication program, specifically the amount of replication domains that fire simultaneously and the degree of overlap between the firing of distinct replication timing domains, is the main determinant of S phase duration. We use these principles to explain the variation in S phase length in different tissues and conditions.

Abstract
Background and Aims Information on cell cycle duration (T) in the root apical meristem (RAM) provides insight into root growth, development and evolution. We have previously proposed a simple method for evaluating T based on the dynamics of root growth (V), the number of cells in the RAM (Nm) and the length of fully elongated cells (l), which we named the rate-of-cell-production (RCP) method. Here, a global analysis was performed to confirm the reliability of this method in a range of angiosperm species and to assess the advantages of this approach. Methods We measured V, Nm and l from live or fixed cleared primary roots of seedlings or adventitious roots of bulbs and used this information to estimate the average T values in 73 angiosperm species via the RCP method. The results were then compared with published data obtained using the classical but laborious and time-consuming 3H-thymidine method. Key Results In most species examined, the T values obtained by the RCP method were nearly identical to those obtained by the 3H-thymidine method. Conclusions The global analysis demonstrated that the relationship between the variables V, Nm and l in roots in the steady state of growth is correctly described by the equation T = (ln2 Nm l)V-1. Thus, the RCP method enables cell cycle duration in the RAM to be rapidly and accurately determined. This method can be performed using live or fixed roots for each individual cell type. The simplicity of the approach suggests that it will be widely used in phenomics, evolutionary ecology and other plant biology studies.

Abstract
The duration of the DNA synthesis stage (S phase) of the cell cycle is fundamental in our understanding of cell cycle kinetics, cell proliferation, and DNA replication timing programs. Most S-phase duration estimates that exist for plants are based on indirect measurements. We present a method for directly estimating S-phase duration by pulse-labeling root tips or actively dividing suspension cells with the halogenated thymidine analog 5-ethynl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and analyzing the time course of replication with bivariate flow cytometry. The transition between G1 and G2 DNA contents can be followed by measuring the mean DNA content of EdU-labeled S-phase nuclei as a function of time after the labeling pulse. We applied this technique to intact root tips of maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and to actively dividing cell cultures of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.) and rice. Estimates of S-phase duration in root tips were remarkably consistent, varying only by ~3-fold, although the genome sizes of the species analyzed varied >40-fold.

Abstract
Variations in the nuclear DNA, mainly as a result of quantitative modulations of DNA repeats belonging to different sequence families of satellite DNA and to the activity of transposable elements, have been assessed within several angiosperm species. These variations alter the amount and organization of the DNA and therefore the genotype, rather than the genome proper. They take place on an evolutionary time scale as the result of selection processes after the occurrence of uncontrolled events in the genome or may be due to direct responses of plant genomes to environmental stimuli that occur under plant-level control within a short developmental period of a single generation. These DNA changes are correlated to changes in the developmental dynamics and phenotypic characteristics of the plants, and the capability to carry out genotypic variation is an evolutionary trait that allows plant species to adapt to different environmental conditions, as well as to the variability of conditions in a given environment. The link between developmental and environmental stimuli and repetitive DNA that elicits the intraspecific diversity of plant genotypes may provide models of evolutionary change that extend beyond the conventional view of evolution by allelic substitution and take into account epigenetic effects of the genome structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is well known that genome size differs among species. However, information on the variation and dynamics of genome size in wild populations and on the early phase of genome size divergence between taxa is currently lacking. Genome size dynamics, heritability and phenotype effects are analysed here in a wild population of Festuca pallens (Poaceae). METHODS Genome size was measured using flow cytometry with DAPI dye in 562 seedlings from 17 maternal plants varying in genome size. The repeatability of genome size measurements was verified at different seasons through the use of different standards and with propidium iodide dye; the range of variation observed was tested via analysis of double-peaks. Additionally, chromosome counts were made in selected seedlings. KEY RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Analysis of double-peaks showed that genome size varied up to 1.188-fold within all 562 seedlings, 1.119-fold within the progeny of a single maternal plant and 1.117-fold in seedlings from grains of a single inflorescence. Generally, genome sizes of seedlings and their mothers were highly correlated. However, in maternal plants with both larger and smaller genomes, genome sizes of seedlings were shifted towards the population median. This was probably due to the frequency of available paternal genomes (pollen grains) in the population. There was a stabilizing selection on genome size during the development of seedlings into adults, which may be important for stabilizing genome size within species. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between genome size and the development rate of seedlings. A larger genome may therefore provide a competitive advantage, perhaps explaining the higher proportion of plants with larger genomes in the population studied. The reason for the observed variation may be the recent induction of genome size variation, e.g. by activity of retrotransposons, which may be preserved in the long term by the segregation of homeologous chromosomes of different sizes during gametogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the recent enormous increase in the number of studies on polyploid species, no studies to date have explored the population dynamics of these taxa. It is thus not known whether the commonly reported differences in single life-history traits between taxa of different ploidy levels result in differences in population dynamics. METHODS This study explores differences in single life-history traits and in the complete life cycle between populations of different ploidy levels and compares these differences with differences observed between different habitat types and years. Diploid and hexaploid populations of a perennial herb, Aster amellus, are used as the study system. Transition matrix models were used to describe the dynamics of the populations, and population growth rates, elasticity values and life-table response experiments were used to compare the dynamics between populations and years. KEY RESULTS The results indicate that between-year variation in population dynamics is much larger than variation between different ploidy levels and different habitat conditions. Significant differences exist, however, in the structure of the transition matrices, indicating that the dynamics of the different ploidy levels are different. Strong differences in probability of extinction of local populations were also found, with hexaploid populations having higher probability than diploid populations, indicating strong potential differences in persistence of these populations. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study on complete population dynamics of plants of different ploidy levels. This knowledge will help to understand the ability of new ploidy levels to spread into new areas and persist there, and the interactions of different ploidy levels in secondary contact zones. This knowledge will also contribute to understanding of interactions of different ploidy levels with other plant species or other interacting organisms such as pollinators or herbivores.

Abstract
Genome size has been suggested to be a fundamental biological attribute in determining life-history traits in many groups of organisms. We examined the relationships between pine genome sizes and pine phylogeny, environmental factors (latitude, elevation, annual rainfall), and biological traits (latitudinal and elevational ranges, seed mass, minimum generation time, interval between large seed crops, seed dispersal mode, relative growth rate, measures of potential and actual invasiveness, and level of rarity). Genome sizes were determined for 60 pine taxa and then combined with published values to make a dataset encompassing 85 species, or 70% of species in the genus. Supertrees were constructed using 20 published source phylogenies. Ancestral genome size was estimated as 32 pg. Genome size has apparently remained stable or increased over evolutionary time in subgenus Strobus, while it has decreased in most subsections in subgenus Pinus. We analyzed relationships between genome size and life-history variables using cross-species correlations and phylogenetically independent contrasts derived from supertree constructions. The generally assumed positive relation between genome size and minimum generation time could not be confirmed in phylogenetically controlled analyses. We found that the strongest correlation was between genome size and seed mass. Because the growth quantities specific leaf area and leaf area ratio (and to a lesser extent relative growth rate) are strongly negatively related to seed mass, they were also negatively correlated with genome size. Northern latitudinal limit was negatively correlated with genome size. Invasiveness, particularly of wind-dispersed species, was negatively associated with both genome size and seed mass. Seed mass and its relationships with seed number, dispersal mode, and growth rate contribute greatly to the differences in life-history strategies of pines. Many life-history patterns are therefore indirectly, but consistently, associated with genome size.

Abstract
The significance of the 4C value (where C is the amount of DNA in the unreplicated haploid genome) in angiosperm plants is discussed. The DNA amount is a stable feature used in biosystematics. Although this parameter varies even in closely related taxa, there is no correlation between the DNA amount and the structural and functional organization of plants. The role of DNA amount, including "excess" DNA, in plant evolution is considered. Some rules governing the distribution of DNA amount among different plant taxa are postulated, together with the possibility of using the data in systematics, phylogeny, and solutions of problems of genetic apparatus organization and evolution. The decrease in DNA value per genome during plant evolution and the high level of species formation in taxa with large DNA values have been shown. Plant taxa with a small DNA value per genome have a high percentage and higher degree of polyploidy. The nature of the differential staining of euchromatin and heterochromatin bands of prophase and metaphase chromosomes is also discussed. Data that could explain the mechanism of heterochromatin visualization under cold pretreatment of cells are reviewed. Phenomena involved in the arrangement of chromocenters in interphase nuclei and chromosomes in metaphase during consecutive cell generations are discussed.

Abstract
Populations of wild barley, Hordeum spontaneum (C. Koch), originating from 10 ecologically and geographically different sites in Israel, were assessed for genome size. Measurements were obtained by flow cytometry using propidium iodide staining. Genome sizes ranged from 9.35 to 9.81 pg. Variance analysis indicated a significant difference between populations. Genome sizes were positively correlated with mean January temperature. Our results corroborate previous findings of intraspecific variation in genome size from different plant species. The positive correlations between climate and genome size suggest that the latter is adaptive and determined by natural selection.

Abstract
Extensive nuclear DNA content variation has been observed inZea mays. Of particular interest is the effect of this variation on the agronomic potential of maize. In the present study, yield and growth data were collected on 12 southwestern US maize open-pollinated populations. These populations, originally cultivated by the Indians of the southwestern US for both human and animal consumption and adapted to various altitudes, were grown in replicated plots at the University of Illinois Agronomy-Plant Pathology South Farm. All growth and yield parameters were found to be negatively correlated with nuclear DNA amount. The negative correlations of nuclear DNA amount and growth parameters were more pronounced at 60 days after planting (DAP) than 30 DAP. Agronomically-important yield parameters, such as ear or seed weight and seed number per plant, also exhibited a significant negative correlations with nuclear DNA amount. These correlations demonstrate how the nucleotype may exhibit a high degree of influence on the agronomic phenotype. Although the results presented here represent only three replications at one location in 1 year, the observations noted suggest that nucleotype plays an integral role in determining the agronomic performance of maize. Further studies are needed to fully document this role.

Abstract
Polyploidy, a multiplication of the whole chromosomal complement, is a very widespread phenomenon in higher plants. Natural polyploids have been suggested to be more successful than their diploid progenitors under certain conditions. This success may be due to "balance hybridity," i.e., the combination of the advantage of hybridity together with the balancing of excessive segregation and sterility by chromosome doubling, and possibly also to the effect of genome multiplication per se. The latter effect can be studied independently of the effect of other genetic changes only in autopolyploid newly derived from single ancestral strains. The existing knowledge on the effect of genome multiplication on the physiology of the plant is fragmentary and based on too narrow a representation of plant types; much of the information available on the effect of genome multiplication pertains to the tomato. Various aspects of polyploidy are discussed according to levels of function and organization: gene action, cell characteristics, growth substance, water balance, ion balance, stability of phenotypic expression and the response of polyploid plants to stress. Future work on the physiology of autopolyploid plants should be directed towards: (1) the investigation of more representative experimental systems that should include genetically homogeneous and heterogeneous species of both wild and cultivated plants; and (2) diploid-polyploid comparisons on the level of isolated tissues and cells, in addition to the whole plant.

The number of angiosperm species for which nuclear DNA amount estimates have been made has nearly trebled since the last collected lists of such values were published, and therefore, publication of a more comprehensive list is over due. This paper lists absolute nuclear DNA amounts for 753 angiosperm species. The dats were assembled primarily for reference purposes, and so the species are listed in alphabetical order, as this was felt to be more helpful to cyto- and biochemists whom, it is anticipated, will be among its major users. The paper also reviews aspects of the history, nomenclature, methods, accuracy and problems of nuclear DNA estimation in angiosperms. No attempt is made to reconsider those aspects of nuclear DNA estimation which have been fully revised previously, although the bibliography of such aspects is given. Instead, the paper is intended as a source of basic information regarding the terminology, practice and limitations of nuclear DNA estimation, especially by Feulgen microdensitometry, as currently practiced.

Abstract
Cell division was synchronised in 4-litre batch cultures of Acer pseudoplatanus L. by starvation and regrowth. Up to five consecutive cell cycles were observed in each culture. Mitosis and cytokinesis were synchronised within 0.2 cell cycles. Accumulation of extractable DNA was discontinuous and separate from cytokinesis. Correction for the degree of synchrony in the population gave: G1=13-37 h, S=15 h, G2=14-19 h and M=0.9-1.3 h. Thymidine kinase activity and [(14)C]thymidine incorporation were highest during S-phase. A peak of activity of aspartate transcarbamoylase occurred during G2. Peaks in succinate dehydrogenase activity and respiration rate were observed at the initiation of DNA synthesis and just prior to mitosis. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase doubled in one step during the cell cycle. Total RNA and protein accumulated continuously through the cell cycle; the final rate being twice that observed initially.
