Full textAngiosperms (or flowering plants) consist in approximatively 350 000 species that have diverged 150 to 200 million years ago in two main families, monocots (orchids, palm trees, banana, bulrushes, grasses...) and dicots (Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, legumes...) representing respectively 20% and 75% of flowering plants. Angiosperms are the subject of intense researches, in particular in genomics since 2000 with the sequence release of the first plant genome (Arabidopsis thaliana) preceding a large number of genomes of plant models and/or species of agronomical interest (around 100 today). Increasing access to plant genome sequences has allowed the identification of their structural diversity, in terms of genome size, number of chromosomes and genes as well as transposable element content. The evolutionary forces that have shaped such structural genomic divergence are at the center of this thesis. Our paleogenomics approach will investigate, through ancestral genome reconstructions, how modern species have diverged from common ancestors and which mechanisms have contributed to such present-day genome plasticity. In this thesis, we have developed methods based on comparative genomics to study plant genome evolution and reconstruct ancestral genomes, extinct progenitors of the modern angiosperm species. An ancestral angiosperm genome has been reconstructed made of 5 chromosomes and 6707 ordered genes allowing the integration in the same model of monocots and eudicots and finally elucidating evolutionary trajectories for species of major agricultural interest such as cereals, rosids and Brassicaceae. The reconstructed paleohistory of modern flowering plants enabled the identification as well as the investigation of the impact of polyploidy events (WGD, whole genome duplications), ubiquitous in plants, as a major driver of the observed structural plasticity of angiosperms. We established that genomes tend to return to a diploid status following a polyploidy event. This structural diploidization is performed at the karyotypic level through chromosomal rearrangements (involving ancestral centromeres and telomeres losses) as well as the gene level (through ancestral duplicates loss). It has been shown that this diploidization is preferentially done on one of the post-polyploidy subgenome, leading to the "sub-genome dominance" phenomenon. This structural plasticity bias (also referenced as plasticity partitioning) is acting differentially between species, chromosomes, chromosomal compartments, gene types, resulting in the structural diversity observed between the present-day plant genomes. This thesis is clearly within the scope of fundamental researches but also has a strong applied objective through translational research in creating bridges between species of major relevance for agriculture. The comparison of one species to another through the reconstructed ancestral genomes allows transferring knowledge gained on genes or any region of interest from model species to crops. Paleogenomics, in reconstructing ancestral genome and unveiling the forces driving modern plant genome plasticity, is therefore of fundamental (toward understanding species evolution) but also applied (toward improving orphan species from knowledge gained in models) objectives

Full textMetabolic processes in plants such as photosynthesis, photorespiration and respiration, produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are highly toxic molecules but besides of its damaging nature they are implicated in cell signaling in different cellular processes. However, under stress conditions plants can suffer an increase of ROS levels. When ROS concentration becomes high enough to overwhelm antioxidant systems, plant suffer oxidative stress as a consequence of the unbalanced cellular redox status. Despite the importance to unravel plant stress responses, little is known about the mechanisms implicated in perennial plants. Furthermore, the possible effect of plant intrinsic factors, as plant age or reproductive effort, in oxidative stress levels is still poorly understood. The main objective of this thesis was to determine how plant age, both chronological and physiological, as well as reproductive effort may influence oxidative stress levels in perennial plants. With this purpose levels of antioxidants as carotenoids, anthocyanins and alpha-tocopherol together with endogenous contents of stress hormones were measured, but with special emphasis in malondialdehyde acid levels, a byproduct of lipid peroxidation. To better understand the plant age effect we used leaves and juvenile plants of Pistacia lentiscus as well as moribund beech trees. Increases in lipid peroxidation not only could mean an oxidative damage but play a signaling role. Therefore, chronolorgical age concomitantly with the measure of oxidative stress levels is a good indicator of plant physiological age. Sex-related changes in photoprotection mechanisms between female and male plants of Pistacia lentiscus, a dioecious plant, where observed under climatological adverse conditions. Although females phowed higher oxidative stress levels compared to males, females were not affected negatively, suggesting a role in signaling. In addition, photoprotection capacity was higher in reproductive shoots relative to non-reproductive shoots in females, thus suggesting that females prioritized protection to fruit-bearing shoots.

Full textThe thesis represents the first part of a reference book to the Tertiary flora of Saxony. All taxa based on leaves of angiosperms and on Ginkgo are included in this compendium. After an overview about the geological state of knowledge on the Tertiary in Saxony, phytostratigraphic concepts are introduced and a historical survey on the Tertiary paleobotanical research in Saxony is given. All plant macrofossils published from Saxonian Tertiary until end of 2013 and their sites of discovery (primary data) were recorded. This data were supplemented by additional attributes and unified through project-based M.Sc. theses. Subsequently, taxa of fossil leaves were selected, their data evaluated and brought to a consistent state of research. Data sheets for 187 out of 235 examined taxa were established for a determination atlas. Macro- and micromorphological attributes are described in this atlas and information are given about the systematic, synonymy, palaeoecology and spatial and temporal distribution. The describing part is illustrated by images and instructive drawings. The documented data were surveyed and discussed related to their quality within the literature in the result part. A bibliography of the extensive palaeobotanical literature for plant fossils of Saxony completes the work. The taxon and locality related data are implemented into an open source geographical information system (GIS) in order to visualize and to manage them effectively. For the first time, the results of this thesis implemented in the GIS allow the generation of distribution maps for the taxa of leaves of Tertiary angiospermes and Ginkgo in Saxony. Furthermore it enables to query topographical, geological and paleobotanical information about the fossil sites. A determination key was developed for the fossil material that allows a rough determination of the findings in the field. The compendium will be available for free use in a printed as well as in a digital version
