A Sex-Linked SCAR Marker in Bryonia Dioica (Cucurbitaceae), a Dioecious Species with XY Sex-Determination and Homomorphic Sex Chromosomes
doi: 10.1111/j.1420-9101.2008.01641.x A sex-linked SCAR marker in Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae), a dioecious species with XY sex-determination and homomorphic sex chromosomes R. K. OYAMA, S. M. VOLZ & S. S. RENNER Department of Biology, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t, Munich, Germany Keywords: Abstract Bryonia; Genetic crosses between the dioecious Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae) and the Cucurbitaceae; monoecious B. alba in 1903 provided the first clear evidence for Mendelian population structure; inheritance of dioecy and made B. dioica the first organism for which XY sex- sex chromosome; determination was experimentally proven. Applying molecular tools to this Y-chromosome. system, we developed a sex-linked sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker for B. dioica and sequenced it for individuals representing the full geographic range of the species from Scotland to North Africa. For comparison, we also sequenced this marker for representatives of the dioecious B. cretica, B. multiflora and B. syriaca, and monoecious B. alba.In no case did any individual, male or female, yield more than two haplotypes. In northern Europe, we found strong linkage between our marker and sex, with all Y-sequences being identical to each other. In southern Europe, however, the linkage between our marker and sex was weak, with recombination detected within both the X- and the Y-homologues. Population genetic analyses suggest that the SCAR marker experienced different evolutionary pressures in northern and southern Europe. These findings fit with phyloge- netic evidence that the XY system in Bryonia is labile and suggest that the genus may be a good system in which to study the early steps of sex chromosome evolution. -

Optical microscopy was used to reveal the anatomical structure of the vegetative (root, stem, tendrils, leaves) and reproductive (ovary, male flower petals) organs. Histo-anatomical details were highlighted by coloration with an original combination of reagents for the double coloration of cellulose and lignin. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and stereomicroscopy led to the elucidation of the structure of tector and secretory trichomes on the inferior epidermis of the leaf. -

Bryonia alba L. Photo by Tim Prather White bryony Family: Cucurbitaceae Range: Montana, Idaho, and Utah. Habitat: Open woodlands and brushy riparian sites. Origin: Native to Eurasia and northern Africa. Sometimes grown as an ornamental or medicinal plant and escaped from cultivation about 1975. Impacts: Grows up and over the top of trees, shading and sometimes killing them. Photo by Rich Old Berries are toxic to humans. Western states listed as Noxious Weed: Idaho, Oregon, Washington White bryony is an herbaceous perennial vine that grows to 12 ft long or more, often to the tops of brush and trees. Its roots are thick, fleshy, and light yellow in color and the stems climb via tendrils that curl around other vegetation or structures; tendrils arise from leaf axils and are unbranched. The leaves are simple, with 3 to 5 lobes and broadly-toothed margins, roughly triangular or maple-like with palmate venation, and up to 5 inches long. Upper and lower surfaces bear small white glands. -

México-Texcoco, Km 38.5, 56230 Texcoco, Estado de México, Mexico. 2Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus San Luis Potosí, Salinas de Hidalgo, 78600 San Luis Potosí, Mexico. 3Grupo Interdisciplinario de Investigación de Sechium edule en México (GISeM), 56153 Texcoco, Estado de México, Mexico. Abstract The Sechium P. Br. genus composed of 11 species, which originated from the mountainous regions of Mesoamerica, have been domes- ticated and diversified. These species are clustered in two large groups: the Mexican clade and the Central American clade. Morphological and molecular studies have shown that species of the Mexican clade are formed through interspecific hybridizations and genetic flow, with the exception of S. mexicanum, which is strongly linked to the genus Sicyos. The objective of this review was to analyze the phylogenetics of Sechium based on morphological and molecular studies, which contributed to taxonomic knowledge and utilization, thereby favoring its conservation and improvement. The Central American clade is well supported with molecular data, but not so with morphological data. The species in this clade were geographically isolated and endemic. S. edule and S. tacaco are exploited species in the agricultural and industrial sectors, and both have an extensive genetic and phenotypic diversity that has allowed them to diversify and expand into different ecological niches. -
