Accepted 14 January, 2010 Vegetative propagation from thallus segments and protoplasts of the gametophyte of Bryopsis hypnoides Lamouroux (Chlorophyta, Bryopsidales) was studied in laboratory cultures. Thallus segments were cultured at 20°C, 20 µmol photons m -2 s-1, 12:12 h LD); protoplasts were cultured under various conditions, viz. 15°C, 15 µmol photons m -2 s-1, 10:14 h LD; 20°C, 20 µmol photons m -2 s-1, 12:12 h LD; and 25°C, 25 µmol photons m -2 s-1, 14:10 h LD. Microscope observation revealed that the protoplast used for regeneration was only part of the protoplasm and the regeneration process was complete in 12 h. The survival rate of the segments was 100% and the survival rate of protoplasts was around 15%, regardless of culture conditions. Protoplasts were very stable in culture and were tolerant of unfavorable conditions. Cysts developed at the distal end or middle portion of gametophytic filaments under low illumination (2 - 5 µmol photons m -2 s-1), the key induction factor.

  • (Chlorophyceae, Caulerpales) From
    Life-histories of Bryopsis plumosa (Chlorophyceae, Caulerpales) from European coasts H. Rietema Biologisch Centrum, Afd. Plantensystematiek, Universiteit Groningen. SUMMARY Zygotes of Bryopsis plumosa from Naples, Banyuls, and Biarritz grew into filamentous germlings which divided into stephanokontic zoids. Some of the germlings from Naples into these and Banyuls developed directly new Bryopsis plants. In culture germlings have a longer“dormancy” period than those ofBryopsis plumosa collected in more northern regions (Zeeland, Roscoff). Bryopsis plumosa from Naples could interbreed with Roscoff material to produce germlings that only developed through stephanokontic zoids. Bryopsis plumosa from Naples could also interbreed with Zeeland material and produced germlings that only developed directly into new Bryopsis plants (which is characteristic for Bryopsis plumosa from Zeeland). Zinc-chlor-iodide and Congo red positively stain the walls of the Bryopsis phase, and negatively the walls of the germling phase. On the basis of these results the life- histories and the site where meiosis takes place in the life-history of Bryopsis plumosa are discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION Until recently it was generally accepted that all Bryopsis species are charac- terised and by a monophasic diplontic life-history by pronounced anisogamy. Biflagellate male and female gametes (in Bryopsis plumosa produced by male and female plants, respectively) fuse to produce zygotes that grow immediately into new gametophytes. Meiosis was considered to take place preceding for- mation of gametes in the determinate laterals of the gametophytes. In fact the only evidence, caryological as well as cultural (though incomplete), for the existence of the above type of life-history in Bryopsis plumosa was that of Zinnecker (1935) on material from Naples.

The order is composed of three suborders – Ostreobineae, Bryopsidineae, and Seaweeds Halimedineae. While previous studies improved the higher-level classification of the order, the taxonomic Chloroplast genome placement of some genera in Bryopsidineae (Pseudobryopsis and Lambia) as well as the relationships between the Phylogeny families of Halimedineae remains uncertain. In this study, we re-assess the phylogeny of the order with datasets Ulvophyceae derived from chloroplast genomes, drastically increasing the taxon sampling by sequencing 32 new chloroplast genomes. The phylogenies presented here provided good support for the major lineages (suborders and most families) in Bryopsidales. In Bryopsidineae, Pseudobryopsis hainanensis was inferred as a distinct lineage from the three established families allowing us to establish the family Pseudobryopsidaceae. The Antarctic species Lambia antarctica was shown to be an early-branching lineage in the family Bryopsidaceae.

GARGIULO , AND GIUSI GENOVESE (Communication presented by Prof. Giacomo Tripodi) ABSTRACT. The genus Bryopsis comprises siphonous green algae widely distributed from tropical to polar seas. Despite the early reports on the simplicity of its life history, subse- quent culture observations showed variety of life history patterns, even within a single species. Karyological data and reports on DNA quantification led to somewhat contradic- tory conclusions about the ploidy level of the two life history phases and about the moment of meiosis. Long term observations on Mediterranean species highlighted new alternatives in recycling of the two morphological phases. Looking at all published experimental data, we summarize all life history pathways of Bryopsis species. 1. Introduction The genus Bryopsis J.V. Lamouroux [1] comprises green algae consisting of tubular multinucleate (siphonous) axes, lacking cross walls, variously branched with a feather-like appearance. Species are widely distributed from tropical to polar seas. Despite the early reports on the simplicity of its life history [2, 3], subsequent culture observations showed a more complex cycle [4-9]. A discovery of variety of life history patterns, even within a single species, and of new reproductive characters [7, 8, 10] led to the establishment of new genera: Pseudobryopsis Berthold in Oltmanns [11], a Bryopsis-looking alga differing because of peculiar pyriform gametangia, and Bryopsidella J.

Lopez-Bautista 1 1 Department of Biological Sciences, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, U.S.A 2 Marine Biology Research Group, Department of Biology, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281-S8, 9000 Ghent, Belgium * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Background Species of Bryopsidales form ecologically important components of seaweed communities worldwide. These siphonous macroalgae are composed of a single giant tubular cell containing millions of nuclei and chloroplasts, and harbor diverse bacterial communities. Little is known about the diversity of chloroplast genomes (cpDNAs) in this group, and about the possible consequences of intracellular bacteria on genome composition of the host. We present the complete cpDNAs of Bryopsis plumosa and Tydemania expeditionis, as well as a re-annotated cpDNA of B. hypnoides, which was shown to contain a higher number of genes than originally published. Chloroplast genomic data were also used to evaluate phylogenetic hypotheses in the Chlorophyta, such as monophyly of the Ulvophyceae (the class in which the order Bryopsidales is currently classified). Results Both DNAs are circular and lack a large inverted repeat. The cpDNA of B. plumosa is 106,859 bp long and contains 115 unique genes. A 13 kb region was identified with several freestanding open reading frames (ORFs) of putative bacterial origin, including a large ORF (> 8 kb) closely related to bacterial rhs-family genes. The cpDNA of T. expeditionis is 105,200 bp long and contains 125 unique genes. As in B.

  • A New Type of Life History in Bryopsis (Chlorophyceae, Caulerpales)
    A new type of life history in Bryopsis (Chlorophyceae, Caulerpales) H. Rietema Botanisch Laboratorium, Universiteit, Groningen summary “ ” A Bryopsis plumosa populationfrom Roscoff appeared to have a heteromorphiclife history. Zygotes from the anisogametes grew into filamentous germlings that produced spherical zoids. These stephanokontic stephanokontic zoids grew into new Bryopsis plants. “ ” Comparable filamentous germlings produced by a Bryopsis plumosa population from Zeeland (Netherlands) grew directly into new Bryopsis plants. Crosses between female gametes from the Roscoff population and male gametes from the (and vice Zeeland population versa) produced a fertile offspring. The filamentous germlings, from these crosses however, into male or female resulting directly grew new Bryopsis plants. I. INTRODUCTION all It is a general belief that Bryopsis species have a diplontic life history. The supposedly haploid biflagellate anisogametes are considered to be formed, via meiosis in gametangia, i.e. transformed determinate laterals of the diploid thallus (Fritsch 1945; Iyengar 1951; Smith 1955; Chadefaud I960). Ca- evidence this life ryological for type of history was published by Zinnecker (1935) and Neumann (1969). Recently, however, Hustede (1964) discovered that in Bryopsis halymeniae a Bryopsis-like gamethophytic phase alternates with a Derbesia-like sporophytic phase. A third type of life history for Bryopsis was discovered by the present author in the of his the of the of course investigations on taxonomy European species Bryopsis. 2. MATERIAL AND METHODS A large collection of unialgal Bryopsis cultures is maintained by the author on account of his investigations on the taxonomy of the European species of this genus. Vegetative isolates were started from cut-off determinate laterals.
