Interspecific Hybrids
The regulation of gene expression is essential for organismal form, function, and fitness. Complex organismal development from zygote to adult requires finely tuned expression of genes in space, time, and abundance. Proper expression of genes is also required for most other aspects of physiology and function. Even minor changes in gene expression have the potential to significantly impact pheno...
متن کاملComparative whole genome sequencing reveals phenotypic tRNA gene duplication in spontaneous Schizosaccharomyces pombe La mutants
We used a genetic screen based on tRNA-mediated suppression (TMS) in a Schizosaccharomyces pombe La protein (Sla1p) mutant. Suppressor pre-tRNA(Ser)UCA-C47:6U with a debilitating substitution in its variable arm fails to produce tRNA in a sla1-rrm mutant deficient for RNA chaperone-like activity. The parent strain and spontaneous mutant were analyzed using Solexa sequencing. One synonymous sing...
متن کاملOrigin of the Yeast Whole-Genome Duplication
Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are rare evolutionary events with profound consequences. They double an organism's genetic content, immediately creating a reproductive barrier between it and its ancestors and providing raw material for the divergence of gene functions between paralogs. Almost all eukaryotic genome sequences bear evidence of ancient WGDs, but the causes of these events and the ...
متن کاملMetabolic adaptation after whole genome duplication.
Whole genome duplications (WGDs) have been hypothesized to be responsible for major transitions in evolution. However, the effects of WGD and subsequent gene loss on cellular behavior and metabolism are still poorly understood. Here we develop a genome scale evolutionary model to study the dynamics of gene loss and metabolic adaptation after WGD. Using the metabolic network of Saccharomyces cer...
متن کاملN2O induces mitotic polyploidization in anther somatic cells and restores fertility in sterile interspecific hybrid lilies
Fertile plants undergoing male gametogenesis can be treated with nitrous oxide (N(2)O) gas to obtain 2n male gametes. N(2)O treatment is also expected to restore the fertility of interspecific hybrids through meiotic restitution or mitotic amphidiploidization. However, this technique has few applications to date, and it is un-known how N(2)O treatment restores fertility in sterile hybrids. To e...
