Nonneutral evolution of organelle genes in Silene vulgaris.
Knowledge of mitochondrial gene evolution in angiosperms has taken a dramatic shift within the past decade, from universal slow rates of nucleotide change to a growing realization of high variation in rates among lineages. Additionally, evidence of paternal inheritance of plant mitochondria and recombination among mitochondrial genomes within heteroplasmic individuals has led to speculation abo...
متن کاملProximity-dependent pollen performance in Silene vulgaris.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pollen and seed dispersal in herbaceous insect-pollinated plants are often restricted, inducing strong population structure. To what extent this influences mating within and among patches is poorly understood. This study investigates the influence of population structure on pollen performance using controlled pollinations and genetic markers. METHODS Population structure w...
متن کاملQTL analysis of intraspecific differences between two Silene vulgaris ecotypes.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Serpentine soils provide a highly selective substrate for plant colonization and growth and represent an ideal system for studying the evolution of plant-ecotypes. In the present study the aim was to identify the genetic architecture of morphological traits distinguishing serpentine and non-serpentine ecotypes of Silene vulgaris. METHODS Using an F(2) mapping population de...
متن کاملNonneutral evolution of the transcribed pseudogene Makorin1-p1 in mice.
Pseudogenes are nonfunctional relics of formerly functional genes and are thought to evolve neutrally. In some pseudogenes, however, the molecular evolutionary patterns are atypical of neutrally evolving sequences, exhibiting sequence conservation, codon-usage bias, and other features associated with functional genes. Makorin1-p1 is a transcribed pseudogene first identified in the mouse Mus mus...
متن کاملUniparental inheritance of organelle genes
the remarkable and varied molecular and cellular mechanisms that produce these patterns. I will also consider the evolutionary consequences of uniparental inheritance and some of the proposed evolutionary explanations for this remarkable difference between the inheritance of organelle and nuclear genes. Patterns and mechanisms of uniparental inheritance vary widely Correns studied the four-o'cl...
