Genetic variation and random drift in autotetraploid populations.
The rate of decay of genetic variation is determined for randomly mating autotetraploid populations of finite size, and the equilibrium homozygosity under mutation and random drift is calculated. It is shown that heterozygosity is lost at a slower rate than in diploid populations, and that the equilibrium heterozygosity with mutation and random drift is higher than for diploids. Outcrossing pop...
متن کاملExploiting repetitive sequences and BAC clones in Festuca pratensis karyotyping
The Festuca genus is thought to be the most numerous genus of the Poaceae family. One of the most agronomically important forage grasses, Festuca pratensis Huds. is treated as a model plant to study the molecular mechanisms associated with tolerance to winter stresses, including frost. However, the precise mapping of the genes governing stress tolerance in this species is difficult as its karyo...
متن کاملPhysical and genetic mapping in the grasses Lolium perenne and Festuca pratensis.
A single chromosome of the grass species Festuca pratensis has been introgressed into Lolium perenne to produce a diploid monosomic substitution line 2n = 2x = 14. In this line recombination occurs throughout the length of the F. pratensis/L. perenne bivalent. The F. pratensis chromosome and recombinants between it and its L. perenne homeologue can be visualized using genomic in situ hybridizat...
متن کاملInterpolating Genetic Variation in Natural Populations: A Case Study of Plains Rough Fescue (Festuca hallii)
Characterization of individual genetic variation within a plant population is an important component of plant conservation and evolutionary genetics. Here we present a marker-based approach to interpolating individual genetic information from a sample of plants to the whole population. The effectiveness of the approach was demonstrated by applying AFLP markers to estimate genetic distinctivenes...
متن کاملHabitat differentiation, hybridization and gene flow patterns in mixed populations of diploid and autotetraploid Dactylorhiza maculata
Detailed ecological, morphological and molecular analyses were performed in mixed populations of diploid and autotetraploid Dactylorhiza maculata s.l. in Scandinavia. Comparisons were made with pure populations of either diploid ssp. fuchsii or tetraploid ssp. maculata. It was shown that mixed populations are the result of secondary contact between ssp. fuchsii and ssp. maculata. No patterns of...
