Yoshida K, Kitano J. Tempo and mode in karyotype evolution revealed by a probabilistic model incorporating both chromosome number and morphology. PLoS Genet 2021; 17:e1009502. [PMID: 33861748 PMCID: PMC8081341 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1009502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Karyotype, including the chromosome and arm numbers, is a fundamental genetic characteristic of all organisms and has long been used as a species-diagnostic character. Additionally, karyotype evolution plays an important role in divergent adaptation and speciation. Centric fusion and fission change chromosome numbers, whereas the intra-chromosomal movement of the centromere, such as pericentric inversion, changes arm numbers. A probabilistic model simultaneously incorporating both chromosome and arm numbers has not been established. Here, we built a probabilistic model of karyotype evolution based on the "karyograph", which treats karyotype evolution as a walk on the two-dimensional space representing the chromosome and arm numbers. This model enables analysis of the stationary distribution with a stable karyotype for any given parameter. After evaluating their performance using simulated data, we applied our model to two large taxonomic groups of fish, Eurypterygii and series Otophysi, to perform maximum likelihood estimation of the transition rates and reconstruct the evolutionary history of karyotypes. The two taxa significantly differed in the evolution of arm number. The inclusion of speciation and extinction rates demonstrated possibly high extinction rates in species with karyotypes other than the most typical karyotype in both groups. Finally, we made a model including polyploidization rates and applied it to a small plant group. Thus, the use of this probabilistic model can contribute to a better understanding of tempo and mode in karyotype evolution and its possible role in speciation and extinction.

Jang TS, Parker JS, Weiss-Schneeweiss H. Euchromatic Supernumerary Chromosomal Segments-Remnants of Ongoing Karyotype Restructuring in the Prospero autumnale Complex? Genes (Basel) 2018; 9:E468. [PMID: 30262745 PMCID: PMC6210179 DOI: 10.3390/genes9100468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2018] [Revised: 09/20/2018] [Accepted: 09/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Supernumerary chromosomal segments (SCSs) represent additional chromosomal material that, unlike B chromosomes, is attached to the standard chromosome complement. The Prospero autumnale complex (Hyacinthaceae) is polymorphic for euchromatic large terminal SCSs located on the short arm of chromosome 1 in diploid cytotypes AA and B⁷B⁷, and tetraploid AAB⁷B⁷ and B⁶B⁶B⁷B⁷, in addition to on the short arm of chromosome 4 in polyploid B⁷B⁷B⁷B⁷ and B⁷B⁷B⁷B⁷B⁷B⁷ cytotypes. The genomic composition and evolutionary relationships among these SCSs have been assessed using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with 5S and 35S ribosomal DNAs (rDNAs), satellite DNA PaB6, and a vertebrate-type telomeric repeat TTAGGG. Neither of the rDNA repeats were detected in SCSs, but most contained PaB6 and telomeric repeats, although these never spanned whole SCSs. Genomic in situ hybridisation (GISH) using A, B⁶, and B⁷ diploid genomic parental DNAs as probes revealed the consistently higher genomic affinity of SCSs in diploid hybrid B⁶B⁷ and allopolyploids AAB⁷B⁷ and B⁶B⁶B⁷B⁷ to genomic DNA of the B⁷ diploid cytotype. GISH results suggest a possible early origin of SCSs, especially that on chromosome 1, as by-products of the extensive genome restructuring within a putative ancestral P. autumnale B⁷ genome, predating the complex diversification at the diploid level and perhaps linked to B-chromosome evolution.

Abstract
B chromosomes are supernumerary dispensable parts of the karyotype which appear in some individuals of some populations in some species. Using advanced sequencing technology, we in silico characterized the high-copy DNA composition of Plantago lagopus with and without B chromosomes. The nuclear genome (2.46 pg/2C) was found to be relatively rich in repetitive sequences, with highly and moderately repeated elements making up 68% of the genome. Besides a centromere-specific marker, we identified a B-specific satellite and a repeat enriched in polymorphic A chromosome segments. The B-specific tandem repeat PLsatB originated from sequence amplification including 5S rDNA fragments.

Abstract
Interannual evolution of a polymorphism for a supernumerary segment in the smallest autosome of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans has been analysed in two natural populations. The polymorphism seemed to be stable in both populations, despite its undertransmission through heterozygous females carrying B chromosomes. Analyses of the effects of the extra segment on mating behaviour failed to show differential mating success in any sex or consistent effects on mating pattern. These results are discussed in relation to the maintenance of this polymorphism in natural populations.

Abstract
Rumex papillaris Boiss, & Reut., an Iberian endemic, belongs to the section Acetosa of the genus Rumex whose main representative is R. acetosa L., a species intensively studied in relation to sex-chromosome evolution. Here, we characterize cytogenetically the chromosomal complement of R. papillaris in an effort to enhance future comparative genomic approaches and to better our understanding of sex chromosome structure in plants. Rumex papillaris, as is common in this group, is a dioecious species characterized by the presence of a multiple sex chromosome system (with females 2n = 12 + XX and males 2n = 12 + XY(1)Y(2)). Except for the X chromosome both Y chromosomes are the longest in the karyotype and appear heterochromatic due to the accumulation of at least two satellite DNA families, RAE180 and RAYSI. Each chromosome of pair VI has an additional major heterochromatin block at the distal region of the short arm. These supernumerary heterochromatic blocks are occupied by RAE730 satellite DNA family. The Y-related RAE180 family is also present in an additional minor autosomal locus. Our comparative study of the chromosomal organization of the different satellite-DNA sequences in XX/XY and XX/XY(1)Y(2) Rumex species demonstrates that of active mechanisms of heterochromatin amplification occurred and were accompanied by chromosomal rearrangements giving rise to the multiple XX/XY(1)Y(2) chromosome systems observed in Rumex. Additionally, Y(1) and Y(2) chromosomes have undergone further rearrangements leading to differential patterns of Y-heterochromatin distribution between Rumex species with multiple sex chromosome systems.

Abstract
The genomes of grasses and cereals include a diverse and large collection of selfish genetic elements, many of which are fossil relics of ancient origin. Some of these elements are active and, because of their selfish nature and the way in which they exist to perpetuate themselves, they cause a conflict for genomes both within and between species in hybrids and allopolyploids. The conflict arises from how the various elements may undergo 'drive', through transposition, centromere and neocentromere drive, and in mitotic and meiotic drive processes in supernumerary B chromosomes. Experimental and newly formed hybrids and polyploids, where new combinations of genomes are brought together for the first time, find themselves sharing a common nuclear and cytoplasmic environment, and they can respond with varying degrees of instability to adjust to their new partnerships. B chromosomes are harmful to fertility and to the physiology of the cells and plants that carry them. In this review we take a broad view of genome conflict, drawing together aspects arising from a range of genetic elements that have not hitherto been considered in their entirety, and we find some common themes linking these various elements in their activities.

Abstract
Simultaneous chromosome polymorphisms for supernumerary elements allow us to analyse the relationships among different forms of heterochromatic variation in nature. We report simultaneous variation patterns for supernumerary segments in chromosomes S10 (SS10), S9 (SS9) and S6 (SS6) and B chromosomes in nine populations of the grasshopper Dichroplus elongatus from two biogeographic provinces from east Argentina. Our results show spatial chromosome differentiation for three out of four supernumerary heterochromatic variants (B chromosomes, SS6 and SS10). The incidence of B chromosomes was negatively correlated with the SS10 frequency. The distribution pattern analysis shows different degree of differentiation among populations for each supernumerary heterochromatic variant suggesting that the detected chromosome variation cannot be explained by interaction between migration and genetic drift. Moreover, the observed population chromosome differentiation was not in agreement with the hierarchical analysis of molecular of heterogeneity at mitochondrial DNA level (mtDNA). The present results point out the importance of the interaction among heterochromatic variants in the chromosome intraspecific variation in east Argentina natural populations of the grasshopper D. elongatus.

Abstract
The dioecious plant Rumex acetosa shows intraspecific karyotype variation, caused by supernumerary heterochromatic segments or DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2 phenylindole)-bands at the ends of the short arms of three pairs of autosomes. A DNA sequence (RAE730) specific to the supernumerary heterochromatic segments was cloned and sequenced. RAE730 was about 730 bp and AT-rich (71% AT-content). Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), RAE730 was localized in the supernumerary DAPI-positive heterochromatic segments on several mitotic chromosomes and chromocenters in interphase nuclei, but not in the DAPI-bands of Y or B chromosomes. RAE730 was tandemly arranged in the genome, and the copy number varied between plants from 40000 to 304000 copies per 2C, corresponding to the relative amount of supernumerary heterochromatic segments per genome. These results indicate that the karyotype variation caused by the supernumerary heterochromatic segment was generated by amplification or reduction of the tandem repeats of RAE730.

Abstract
The mode of inheritance of supernumerary segments located on three different chromosome pairs was investigated in controlled crosses with specimens of the grasshopper Chorthippus jacobsi. While extra segments located on chromosomes M5 and M6 showed Mendelian inheritance, that on S8 did not. Thus, the two supernumerary heterochromatic chromosome segments located distally on the S8 chromosome accumulated through non-Mendelian transmission through both sexes. The observed transmission patterns may be explained by gametic selection for spermatozoa carrying segmented S8 chromosomes, in addition to meiotic drive for segmented S8 chromosomes in heterozygous females. The significance of these findings for the maintenance of these polymorphisms in natural populations is discussed.

Abstract
Chromosome analyses of 227 mature plants of the dioecious species Rumex acetosa collected on the small island of Skomer have revealed an extremely high level of unique and polymorphic variation. The three common polymorphisms in this species--supernumerary segments on chromosomes 1 and 6, and B-chromosomes--are widespread on the island and the frequency of supernumerary segment 1 is higher than in all 37 mainland populations previously studied. Novel variants, unknown elsewhere, occur in each polymorphism. Fourteen different chromosome rearrangements are unique to the island, and eleven of these were detected in 67 plants from a small area which had undergone a population crash in 1977. It is argued that the genome of R. acetosa is undergoing rapid reorganisation on this small island which may be associated with an enforced shift towards inbreeding in this dioecious species.
