Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Eudorina Eudorina Eudorina Volvox Volvox Volvox Germ-Soma Differentiation: regA gene In e.g. Chlamydomonas, the “ancestral” life cycle is: vegetative → reproductive → vegetative Palintomy: reproductive cells first grow and then divide by multiple fission. 8 cells 8 colonies Grows 2d d=3 divisions In e.g. Volvox, there is terminal differentiation, and after birth of daughter colonies, somatic cells undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) “Somatic regenerator” mutants (R. Starr, 1970) led to discovery that there is a single gene (regA) whose mutation gives rise Reg phenotype, in which somatic cells spontaneously revert to reproductive ones. In other words, the role of regA in wild-type cells is to suppress all aspects of reproductive cell development. It is off in gonidia, on in somatic cells.

    UNCORRECTED PAGE PROOFS An Overview of Green Plant Phylogeny he word plant is commonly used to refer to any auto- trophic eukaryotic organism capable of converting light energy into chemical energy via the process of photosynthe- sis. More specifically, these organisms produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll inside of organelles called chloroplasts. Sometimes the term plant is extended to include autotrophic prokaryotic forms, especially the (eu)bacterial lineage known as the cyanobacteria (or blue- green algae). Many traditional botany textbooks even include the fungi, which differ dramatically in being heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms that enzymatically break down living or dead organic material and then absorb the simpler products. Fungi appear to be more closely related to animals, another lineage of heterotrophs characterized by eating other organisms and digesting them inter- nally. In this chapter we first briefly discuss the origin and evolution of several separately evolved plant lineages, both to acquaint you with these important branches of the tree of life and to help put the green plant lineage in broad phylogenetic perspective. We then focus attention on the evolution of green plants, emphasizing sev- eral critical transitions. Specifically, we concentrate on the origins of land plants (embryophytes), of vascular plants (tracheophytes), of 1 UNCORRECTED PAGE PROOFS 2 CHAPTER SEVEN seed plants (spermatophytes), and of flowering plants dons.” In some cases it is possible to abandon such (angiosperms). names entirely, but in others it is tempting to retain Although knowledge of fossil plants is critical to a them, either as common names for certain forms of orga- deep understanding of each of these shifts and some key nization (e.g., the “bryophytic” life cycle), or to refer to a fossils are mentioned, much of our discussion focuses on clade (e.g., applying “gymnosperms” to a hypothesized extant groups.

Goldstein Received: 30 April 2006 / Revised: 19 February 2007 / Published online: 10 May 2007 Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract A fundamental issue in evolutionary biology is the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms, and the cellular differentiation that accom- panies the increase in group size. Here we consider recent results on two types of ‘‘multicellular’’ systems, one produced by many unicellular organisms acting collectively, and another that is permanently multicellular. The former system is represented by groups of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis and the latter is represented by members of the colonial volvocalean green algae. In these flagellated organisms, the biology of chemotaxis, metabolism and cell–cell signaling is intimately con- nected to the physics of buoyancy, motility, diffusion, and mixing. Our results include the discovery in bacterial suspensions of intermittent episodes of disorder and collective coherence characterized by transient, recurring vortex streets and high-speed jets of cooperative swimming. These flow structures markedly enhance transport of passive tracers, and therefore likely have significant implications for intercellular communication. Experiments on the Volvocales reveal that the sterile flagellated somatic cells arrayed on the surface of Volvox colonies are not only important for allowing motion toward light (phototaxis), but also play a crucial role C.

Three species – Eudorina cylindrica, E. illinoisensis and E. unicocca – were found in the Polish Vistula River in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as at present. They are rare species in the Polish aquatic ecosystems. Three species are com- mon both in the oxbow lakes and in the Vistula River: Eudorina elegans, Pandorina morum and Volvox aureus. New and rare Volvocaceae species were described in terms of morphology and ecology; also photographic documentation (light microscope microphotographs) was completed. Keywords: Pleodorina, Pandorina, Eudorina, biodiversity, phytoplankton, oxbow lake, lower Vistula Introduction Green algae from the family of Volvocaceae are frequently encountered in eutrophic waters.

We con- transitions require the reorganization of fitness, by which we sider several of the key stages involved in this transition: the initial mean the transfer of fitness from the old lower-level individual advantage of group formation, the origin of reproductive altruism to the new higher level, and the specialization of lower-level units within the group, and the further specialization of cell types as in fitness components of the new higher-level individual. It is a groups increase in size. How do groups become individuals? This is major challenge to understand why (environmental selective the central question we address.
