The Systematics and Genetics of Tomatoes on the Galápagos Islands (Solanum, Solanaceae) The systematics and genetics of tomatoes on the Galápagos Islands (Solanum, Solanaceae) By Sarah Catherine Darwin A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at University College London August 2009 Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment University College London 1 Declaration I, Sarah Darwin confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Chapter 2 is a reprint from a paper on the taxonomy of the tomatoes of the Galápagos Islands published in Systematics and Biodiversity in 2003. This was a collaborative project, and the authors were Sarah Darwin, Sandra Knapp and Iris Peralta. I was the lead author as this was part of my thesis work, and I carried out most of the work towards the paper. Below I list the contributions of each author for Chapter 2. Morphological analysis I undertook the analysis of the herbarium specimens, with particular guidance from Sandy Knapp and Iris Peralta for the S. lycopersicum and S. pimpinellifolium collected from the mainland of South America. Morphometrics Morphological characters were selected by all of us based on my experience from fieldwork, Dr Peralta’s experience from greenhouse grown accessions and Dr Knapp’s experience from herbarium specimens. I undertook the measurement of the living plants and herbarium specimens with the assistance/guidance of Drs Peralta and Knapp Statistics I and Dr Peralta undertook the PCA, with advice from Drs Claudio Galmarini and Clive Moncrieff. Taxonomic treatment Dr Knapp and Dr Norman Robson wrote the Latin for the taxonomic treatment. 2 Artwork The illustration of S. galapagense for the taxonomic treatment was undertaken by C. Scoones the rest of the illustrations and figures were undertaken by me and formatted for the paper by Derek Adams and myself. Writing I wrote the first draft of the paper, and it went through repeated editorial cycles among all three authors. Sarah Darwin Prof. James Mallet Candidate UCL Supervisor 3 Abstract Galápagos tomatoes (Solanum section Lycopersicon) have long interested scientists and plant breeders. Several morphological and physiological characters found in the endemic Galápagos tomatoes have been bred into the cultivated Solanum lycopersicum, making the native plants an invaluable resource for the development of this important global crop. Extensive fieldwork was carried out on twelve islands, old records were confirmed, new records added, but several previously recorded populations of endemic tomatoes could not be confirmed. I collected tomatoes from 12 islets and Islands. Detailed morphometric analysis on c.400 plants and extensive genetic studies on c.1,200 plants were carried out in addition to fieldwork and natural history studies. Observations and experiments were carried out on herbarium specimens, field collected and green house grown accessions. I confirmed the presence of four taxa in the Galápagos Islands – two endemic species S. cheesmaniae and S. galapagense, the latter here described as new, and two introduced species S. pimpinellifolium and S. lycopersicum. Hybrids were found involving all taxa growing in the Galápagos Islands. Of particular interest is an extensive hybrid zone between S. cheesmaniae and S. pimpinellifolium spanning 20km along the Baltra Road on Isla Santa Cruz. Hybridization raises the threat of extinction by introgression and the possibility of the evolution of a serious invasive species. Conservation recommendations are proposed. In addition, a genetic analysis was undertaken of 60 seed bank accessions of all four tomato species from the Galápagos. Again, indications of hybridization were found, raising the potential of introgression within the seed bank collections, occurring potentially during rejuvenation cycles. Furthermore, I propose a new outline for a generic invasive species threat/impact scoring system. Applying this new system I class Solanum pimpinellifolium as an alien invasive species and assess its impact on Isla Santa Cruz in the Galápagos Islands. 4 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisors Dr Sandy Knapp and Professors Jim Mallet and Ziheng Yang for their support and advice during this thesis.

North St., Geneva, NY 14456 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. genotyping by sequencing, germplasm, Plant Variety Protection, single nucleotide polymorphism, Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum pimpinellifolium ABSTRACT. A diversity panel of 190 National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) acces- sions was genotyped using genotyping by sequencing. These originated from 31 countries and included fresh market, ornamental, processing, breeders’ lines, landraces, and home gardening types, as well as six different accessions of the economically valuable cultivar San Marzano. Most of the 34,531 discovered single nucleotide polymorphisms were rare and therefore excluded from downstream analyses. A total of 3713 high-quality, mapped single nucleotide polymorphisms that were present in at least two accessions were used to estimate genetic distances and population structure. Results showed that these phenotypically and geographically diverse NPGS tomato accessions were closely related to each other. However, a subset of divergent genotypes was identified that included landraces from primary centers of diversity (South America), secondary centers of diversity (Italy, Taiwan, and France), and genotypes that originated from wild species through 20th century breeding for disease resistance (e.g., ‘VFNT Cherry’). Extreme variant accessions produce cultivated fruit traits in a background that contains many wild or primitive genes. These accessions are promising sources of novel genes for continued crop improvement. Vegetable producers require an abundance of genetic diver- for purposes of breeding, research, and higher education.

    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

  • Inflorescence Development in Two Tomato Species
    111 NOTE / NOTE Inflorescence development in two tomato species N. Welty, C. Radovich, T. Meulia, and E. van der Knaap Abstract: The inflorescence of tomato has been characterized as either a cyme or raceme. Cymose inflorescences are de- terminate, whereas racemose inflorescences are indeterminate. In this study, we addressed the discrepancy in inflorescence architecture by analyzing the morphology of a wild relative of tomato Solanum pimpinellifolium L. and four domesticated Solanum lycopersicum L. lines. Careful observation of developing inflorescences of both species showed a bifurcation of the meristem into a determinate floral and an indeterminate inflorescence meristem. Interestingly, higher fruit carpel num- ber was associated with delayed floral development, which might give the impression of determinate growth in some of the lines. Nevertheless, our results demonstrated that tomato inflorescences are indeterminate in nature regardless of the line studied. Floral buds were formed concomitantly with the development of the inflorescence meristem and not on the flanks of the peduncle, a characteristic of racemose growth. Thus, tomato inflorescences should be classified as a cyme with the note that the inflorescence meristem does not terminate into a flower and, in fact, maintains indeterminacy. In ad- dition, S. pimpinellifolium produced many more flowers in a highly regular manner when compared with the cultivated types. This demonstrated the usefulness of wild relatives of tomato as a tool to further understand flower and fruit devel- opment in this crop species. Key words: inflorescence, tomato, cyme, raceme, meristem, bifurcation. Re´sume´ : On a caracte´rise´ l’inflorescence de la tomate comme une cyme ou un race`me.

The discovery catalyzed a range of studies in physics to develop an understanding of the nucleus and the properties influencing its stability and instability that give rise to various decay modes and associated energies. Rutherford and Soddy (1903) later suggested that radioactive change from different types of decay are linked to chemical change. Soddy later found that this is a general phenomenon and radioactive decay of different energies and types are linked to the same element. Soddy (1913) in his paper on intra-atomic charge pinpointed the observations as requiring the observations of the simultaneous character of chemical change from the same position in the periodic chart with radiative emissions required it to be of the same element (same proton number) but differing atomic weight. This is only energetically accommodated by a change in neutrons and it was this paper that the name “isotope” emerges.
