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. -

Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese -

Bryonia alba L. and Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich. are two species belonging to this family, that are known since ancient times for their homeopathic or traditional use in the treatment of numerous disorders. There is clear evidence that links between the two species are not only related to family morphological characters, but also to a certain degree to the sexual system and, most importantly, to the active principle content or to potential medicinal uses. All these elements helped to include both species in the same tribe and may result in important reasons for heading future studies towards the elucidation of their complete phytochemical composition and mechanisms of the biological activities. -
Bryonia Alba L
A WEED REPORT from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States This WEED REPORT does not constitute a formal recommendation. When using herbicides always read the label, and when in doubt consult your farm advisor or county agent. This WEED REPORT is an excerpt from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States and is available wholesale through the UC Weed Research & Information Center (wric.ucdavis.edu) or retail through the Western Society of Weed Science (wsweedscience.org) or the California Invasive Species Council (cal-ipc.org). 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. -
