Abstract
The genus Vigna (Leguminosae) comprises about 150 species grouped into five subgenera. The present study aimed to improve the understanding of karyotype diversity and evolution in Vigna, using new and previously published data through different cytogenetic and DNA content approaches. In the Vigna subgenera, we observed a random distribution of rDNA patterns. The 35S rDNA varied in position, from terminal to proximal, and in number, ranging from one (V. aconitifolia, V. subg. Ceratotropis) to seven pairs (V. unguiculata subsp. unguiculata, V. subg. Vigna). On the other hand, the number of 5S rDNA was conserved (one or two pairs), except for V. radiata (V. subg. Ceratotropis), which had three pairs. Genome size was relatively conserved within the genus, ranging from 1C = 0.43 to 0.70 pg in V. oblongifolia and V. unguiculata subsp. unguiculata, respectively, both belonging to V. subg. Vigna. However, we observed a positive correlation between DNA content and the number of 35S rDNA sites. In addition, data from chromosome-specific BAC-FISH suggest that the ancestral 35S rDNA locus is conserved on chromosome 6 within Vigna. Considering the rapid diversification in the number and position of rDNA sites, such conservation is surprising and suggests that additional sites may have spread out from this ancestral locus.

Abstract
To characterize the chromosomes of the four species of Polygonatum Miller, 1754, used in traditional Chinese medicine, P.cyrtonema Hua, 1892, P.kingianum Collett et Hemsley, 1890, P.odoratum (Miller, 1768) Druce, 1906, and P.sibiricum Redouté, 1811, and have an insight into the karyotype variation of the genus Polygonatum, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 5S and 45S rDNA oligonucleotide probes was applied to analyze the karyotypes of 9 populations of the four species. Detailed molecular cytogenetic karyotypes of the 9 populations were established for the first time using the dataset of chromosome measurements and FISH signals of 5S and 45S rDNA. Four karyotype asymmetry indices, CVCI, CVCL, MCA and Stebbins' category, were measured to elucidate the asymmetry of the karyotypes and karyological relationships among species. Comparison of their karyotypes revealed distinct variations in the karyotypic parameters and rDNA patterns among and within species. The basic chromosome numbers detected were x = 9, 11 and 13 for P.cyrtonema, x = 15 for P.kingianum, x = 10 and 11 for P.odoratum, and x = 12 for P.sibiricum. The original basic chromosome numbers of the four species were inferred on the basis of the data of this study and previous reports. All the 9 karyotypes were of moderate asymmetry and composed of metacentric, submetacentric and subtelocentric chromosomes or consisted of two of these types of chromosomes. Seven populations have one locus of 5S rDNA and two loci of 45S rDNA, and two populations added one 5S or 45S locus. The karyological relationships among the four species revealed by comparison of rDNA patterns and PCoA based on x, 2n, TCL, CVCI, MCA and CVCL were basically accordant with the phylogenetic relationships revealed by molecular phylogenetic studies. The mechanisms of both intra- and inter-specific dysploidy in Polygonatum were discussed based on the data of this study and literature.

Abstract
The evolution of chromosome number and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci number and localisation were studied in Onobrychis Mill. Diploid and tetraploid species, as well as two basic chromosome numbers, x = 7 and x = 8, were observed among analysed taxa. The chromosomal distribution of rDNA loci was presented here for the first time using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with 5S and 35S rDNA probes. Onobrychis species showed a high polymorphism in the number and localisation of rDNA loci among diploids, whereas the rDNA loci pattern was very similar in polyploids. Phylogenetic relationships among the species, inferred from nrITS sequences, were used as a framework to reconstruct the patterns of basic chromosome number and rDNA loci evolution. Analysis of the evolution of the basic chromosome numbers allowed the inference of x = 8 as the ancestral number and the descending dysploidy and polyploidisation as the major mechanisms of the chromosome number evolution. Analyses of chromosomal patterns of rRNA gene loci in a phylogenetic context resulted in the reconstruction of one locus of 5S rDNA and one locus of 35S rDNA in the interstitial chromosomal position as the ancestral state in this genus.

Comparative Analyses of Complete Chloroplast Genomes and Karyotypes of Allotetraploid Iris koreana and Its Putative Diploid Parental Species ( Iris Series Chinenses, Iridaceae). Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810929. [PMID: 36142840 PMCID: PMC9504294 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The Iris series Chinenses in Korea comprises four species (I. minutoaurea, I. odaesanensis, I. koreana, and I. rossii), and the group includes some endangered species, owing to their high ornamental, economic, and conservation values. Among them, the putative allotetraploid, Iris koreana (2n = 4x = 50), is hypothesized to have originated from the hybridization of the diploids I. minutoaurea (2n = 2x = 22) and I. odaesanensis (2n = 2x = 28) based on morphological characters, chromosome numbers, and genome size additivity. Despite extensive morphological and molecular phylogenetical studies on the genus Iris, little is known about Korean irises in terms of their complete chloroplast (cp) genomes and molecular cytogenetics that involve rDNA loci evolution based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). This study reports comparative analyses of the karyotypes of the three Iris species (I. koreana, I. odaesanensis, and I. minutoaurea), with an emphasis on the 5S and 35S rDNA loci number and localization using FISH together with the genome size and chromosome number. Moreover, the cp genomes of the same individuals were sequenced and assembled for comparative analysis. The rDNA loci numbers, which were localized consistently at the same position in all species, and the chromosome numbers and genome size values of tetraploid Iris koreana (four 5S and 35S loci; 2n = 50; 1C = 7.35 pg) were additively compared to its putative diploid progenitors, I. minutoaurea (two 5S and 35S loci; 2n = 22; 1C = 3.71 pg) and I. odaesanensis (two 5S and 35S loci; 2n = 28; 1C = 3.68 pg). The chloroplast genomes were 152,259–155,145 bp in length, and exhibited a conserved quadripartite structure. The Iris cp genomes were highly conserved and similar to other Iridaceae cp genomes. Nucleotide diversity analysis indicated that all three species had similar levels of genetic variation, but the cp genomes of I. koreana and I. minutoaurea were more similar to each other than to I. odaesanensis. Positive selection was inferred for psbK and ycf2 genes of the three Iris species. Phylogenetic analyses consistently recovered I. odaesanensis as a sister to a clade containing I. koreana and I. minutoaurea. Although the phylogenetic relationship, rDNA loci number, and localization, together with the genome size and chromosome number of the three species, allowed for the inference of I. minutoaurea as a putative maternal taxon and I. odaesanensis as a paternal taxon, further analyses involving species-specific molecular cytogenetic markers and genomic in situ hybridization are required to interpret the mechanisms involved in the origin of the chromosomal variation in Iris series Chinenses. This study contributes towards the genomic and chromosomal evolution of the genus Iris.
