Hybrid Fitness, Adaptation and Evolutionary Diversification: Lessons
Heredity (2012) 108, 159–166 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0018-067X/12 www.nature.com/hdy REVIEW Hybrid fitness, adaptation and evolutionary diversification: lessons learned from Louisiana Irises ML Arnold, ES Ballerini and AN Brothers Estimates of hybrid fitness have been used as either a platform for testing the potential role of natural hybridization in the evolution of species and species complexes or, alternatively, as a rationale for dismissing hybridization events as being of any evolutionary significance. From the time of Darwin’s publication of The Origin, through the neo-Darwinian synthesis, to the present day, the observation of variability in hybrid fitness has remained a challenge for some models of speciation. Yet, Darwin and others have reported the elevated fitness of hybrid genotypes under certain environmental conditions. In modern scientific terminology, this observation reflects the fact that hybrid genotypes can demonstrate genotypeÂenvironment interactions. In the current review, we illustrate the development of one plant species complex, namely the Louisiana Irises, into a ‘model system’ for investigating hybrid fitness and the role of genetic exchange in adaptive evolution and diversification. In particular, we will argue that a multitude of approaches, involving both experimental and natural environments, and incorporating both manipulative analyses and surveys of natural populations, are necessary to adequately test for the evolutionary significance of introgressive hybridization. An appreciation of the variability of hybrid fitness leads to the conclusion that certain genetic signatures reflect adaptive evolution. Furthermore, tests of the frequency of allopatric versus sympatric/parapatric divergence (that is, divergence with ongoing gene flow) support hybrid genotypes as a mechanism of evolutionary diversification in numerous species complexes. -

Louisiana Iris Is the Name Used Worldwide for a Unique Group of Louisiana Native Iris Species And, in Particular, Their Hybrids
Louisiana Iris Louisiana iris is the name used worldwide for a unique group of Louisiana native iris species and, in particular, their hybrids. The plants’ extraordinary beauty and reliability in the garden have made them increasingly popular, but they still deserve more recognition and use here in their home state. 1 Introduction Although a number of iris species are native to Louisiana, only five species are known as “The Louisianans.” They are Iris brevicaulis, Iris fulva, Iris giganticaerulea, Iris hexagona and Iris nelsonii. Iris brevicaulis and I. fulva are native to the Mississippi valley from Louisiana to Ohio, and I. giganticaerulea and I. hexagona are found along the Gulf Coast from Mississippi to Texas. Only in South Louisiana, however, do all five species occur together. You typically see them growing in damp or wet areas at the edge of swamps, in boggy areas or in roadside ditches. These five species are closely related and will interbreed with each other, but with no other species. The crossing, or interbreeding, of these species has resulted in the hybrid Louisiana iris cultivars we grow today. Their large, attractive flowers cover a wide range of colors, including many shades of blue, purple, red, yellow, pink, gold, brown, lavender, burgundy and white. Cultivars with bicolor flowers, bright yellow signal markings or ruffled petals add to their beauty. Culture situations generally do not go as dormant as those in drier conditions, and more of the foliage stays green Louisiana irises can be grown successfully through the summer. throughout Louisiana and in much of the United States. -

Iris Fulva ‘Louisiana Hybrids’1
Fact Sheet FPS-286 October, 1999 Iris fulva ‘Louisiana Hybrids’1 Edward F. Gilman, Carol Lord2 Introduction Louisiana Iris hybrids (also Iris breuicaulis, Iris giganticaerulea) have dark green, sword-like leaves and rhizomatous roots (Fig. 1). They grow 2- to 4-feet tall and bear 3-to 4-inch-long flowers of white, cream, yellow, bronze, pink, red, blue, purple, or near black. These spring flowers are often cut for flower arrangements. Louisiana Iris hybrids are clumping, spreading or upright perennials which can be utilized as background or specimen plants. They are also useful in a mass planting.
