Abstract:

Self-fertilization (selfing) favours reproductive success when mate availability is low, but renders populations more vulnerable to environmental change by reducing genetic variability. A mixed-breeding strategy (alternating selfing and outcrossing) may allow species to balance these needs, but requires a system for regulating sexual identity. We explored the role of DNA methylation as a regulatory system for sex-ratio modulation in the mixed-mating fish Kryptolebias marmoratus. We found a significant interaction between sexual identity (male or hermaphrodite), temperature and methylation patt

Abstract:

The transition from outcrossing to selfing is a common evolutionary trend in flowering plants, and floral traits change significantly with the evolution of selfing. Whether or not plant traits are subjected to selection remains an open question in species with mixed mating systems. We examined phenotypic selection in two populations of Halenia elliptica with different selfing rates. We found that the pollen–ovule ratio, seed size, plant height, spur length, and pollinator visitation rate in the population with the higher selfing rate were lower than those in the population with the lower selfi

AbstractWe assessed inheritance of resistance to sugarcane brown rust (Puccinia melanocephala) in selfing F1 populations of wild sugarcane germplasm Erianthus rockii ‘Yundian 95-19’ and E. rockii ‘Yundian 95-20’. We tested parent and selfing F1 individuals for the brown rust resistance gene, Bru1, that has been shown to confer resistance to brown rust in sugarcane. The Bru1 gene was not detected in E. rockii ‘Yundian 95-19’, E. rockii ‘Yundian 95-20’ or their selfing F1 individuals, and we found there was segregation of resistance in the two selfing F1 populations (segregation ratio: 3:1).

Abstract:

The maintenance of males at intermediate frequencies is an important evolutionary problem. Several species ofCaenorhabditisnematodes have evolved a mating system in which selfing hermaphrodites and males coexist. While selfing produces XX hermaphrodites, cross-fertilization produces 50% XO male progeny. Thus, male mating success dictates the sex ratio. Here, we focus on the contribution of themale secreted short(mss) gene family to male mating success, sex ratio, and population growth. Themssfamily is essential for sperm competitiveness in gonochoristic species, but has been lost in parallel i

Cleistogamy involves structural, developmental, and functional differences between the open (chasmogamous) and closed (cleistogamous) floral forms produced by a species.

Abstract:

SummaryA loss of neutral genetic polymorphism is theoretically expected for many reasons in inbreeding organisms when compared to outbreeders. The first reason derives from the decrease of the effective population size, down to a halving, in purely selfing species. Other genetical reasons include hitchhiking and background selection. A loss can also be caused by ecological processes, that is by any kind of process provoking a genetic bottleneck. These theoretical expectations have been empirically confirmed in hermaphroditic plants for which selfing species exhibit both a lower gene diversity

Abstract:

Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids spp.) is a wind-pollinated species that bears very small yet complete flowers. During crossing, a lack of pollen control (trimming off dehisced florets and hot water treatment) may result in both self-pollination (selfs) and unintentional pollination from stray pollen (off-types). Due to this uncertainty, it is important to estimate the percentage of intentional paternal hybridizations to better understand and possibly improve the crossing process. In this study, six pairs of simple sequence repeats (SSR) primers were used to assess the fidelity of 343 bi-parental

Abstract:

Inheritance of allozymes of 12 polymorphic loci was demonstrated using haploid megagametophytic tissues of viable seed from a total of 47 white spruce trees in one stand. In general, allozymes segregated as expected in a 1:1 ratio. However, one allozyme of phosphoglucose isomerase (Pgi-2) did not segregate as expected. Significant deficiency in two different heterozygous combinations was observed. This result could be indicative of selection against the allozyme. The level of genetic variability in this stand of white spruce was similar to average levels of variation observed with many conifer

Abstract:

The breeding system of 13 populations belonging to eight species of Erysimum (Cruciferae) was studied and its relation with the life-span of the plants is discussed. To assess the breeding system of each population, greenhouse tests for apomixis, self-compatibility, and self-pollination were carried out, morphological characters like petal size and anther length were measured and pollen to ovule ratios were computed. The evidence gathered supports the selfing behavior of the three annuals, E. cheiranthoides L., E. incanum G. Kunze, and E. repandum L., and the outcrossing behavior of the perenn

Abstract:

A large proportion of studies in systems science focus on processes involving a mixture of positive and negative feedbacks, which are also common themes in evolutionary ecology. Examples of negative feedback are density dependence (population regulation) and frequency-dependent selection (polymorphisms). Positive feedback, in turn, plays a role in Fisherian ‘runaway’ sexual selection, the evolution of cooperation, selfing and inbreeding tolerance under purging of deleterious alleles, and the evolution of sex differences in parental care. All these examples feature self-reinforcing processes wh

The inheritance of resistance to the auxinic herbicide dicamba was examined in a kochia population from Nebraska. An inbred, resistant line was developed by selection and selfing over seven generations to ensure any resistance alleles would be homozygous in the parents. An inbred, susceptible line was similarly developed, but without selection. Dose–response experiments with dicamba determined a glyphosate-resistant concentration required to inhibit dry weight accumulation by 50% (GR50) of 45 and 1,331 g ae ha−1for the susceptible and resistant populations, respectively.

Abstract:

The frequency of recombination between unlike genotypes is central to understanding the generation of genetic diversity in natural populations of malaria. Here we suggest a way of investigating the problem which could complement conventional biochemical approaches to the population genetics of malaria. Sex allocation theory is one of the most successful areas of evolutionary biology. A well-supported prediction is that progressively less female-biased sex ratios are favoured with more outcrossing; equal numbers of males and females being evolutionarily stable in randomly mating outbred populat

Abstract Mutant analysis represents one of the most reliable approaches to identifying genes involved in plant development. The screening of the Versailles collection of Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA insertion transformants has allowed us to isolate different mutations affecting male gametophytic functions and viability. Among several mutated lines, five have been extensively studied at the genetic, molecular, and cytological levels. For each mutant, several generations of selfing and outcrossing have been carried out, leading to the conclusion that all these mutations are tagged and affect only

However, currently grown cultivars are too large in canopy size and thus have very low harvest index. Alteration of canopy height and size can lead to identification of a desirable plant architecture for jatropha. A study was conducted to determine genetic control of dwarfiness and erect growth habit in jatropha populations derived from an interspecific cross between J. curcas with tall-erect (TL-ER) plant type and J. integerrima with dwarf-spreading (DW-SP) plant type.
