RNDr. Petr Bureš, Ph. D. Academic Year: 2011/2012 Number of Pages: 104 Keywords: Ranunculaceae, flow cytometry, PI/DAPI, DNA content, genome size, GC content, base composition, stomatal size, Pignatti‘s indicator values Abstrakt Pomocí průtokové cytometrie byla změřena velikost genomu a AT/GC genomový poměr u 135 druhů z čeledi Ranunculaceae. U druhů byla naměřena délka a šířka průduchů a z literatury byly získány údaje o počtu chromozomů a ekologii druhů. Velikost genomu se v rámci čeledi liší 63-krát. Nejmenší genom byl naměřen u Aquilegia canadensis (2C = 0,75 pg), největší u Ranunculus lingua (2C = 47,93 pg). Mezi dvěma hlavními podčeleděmi Ranunculoideae a Thalictroideae je ve velikosti genomu markantní rozdíl (2C = 2,48 – 47,94 pg a 0,75 – 4,04 pg). Velikost genomu u méně zastoupených podčeledí Glaucidioideae, Hydrastioideae a Coptidoideae je malá (2C = 2,73 pg, 2,69 pg or 1,37 pg); stejně tak sesterské čeledi Papaveraceae, Eupteleaceae, Berberidaceae, Menispermaceae a Lardizabalaceae mají velikost genomu malou, což svědčí o zvětšování genomu v rámci čeledi. Předpokládaný vztah mezi genomovými parametry (velikostí genomu a zastoupení GC bazí) se za použití fylogenetických kontrastů nepotvrdil. Naopak vztah mezi velikostí genomu a velikostí průduchu potvrzen byl. Nejtěsnější korelace je mezi velikostí genomu a délkou průduchu, při použití délky na třetí nebo délky krát šířky na druhou není korelace tak těsná. Geofyty mají signifikantně větší genom než negeofytní druhy. Genom negativně koreluje s dobou kvetení. Z vlastností prostředí genom negativně ovlivňuje vlhkost. Tento vliv může být zprostředkovaný negativní korelací velikostí průduchů s vlhkostí. Na genomové vlastnosti mají také nemalý vliv klimatické podmínky. Velikost genomu je podmíněna pozitivně teplotou. GC obsah negativně koreluje s teplotou a srážkami. Abstract The overall genomic parameters, somatic DNA content and base composition were analyzed in 135 taxa of Ranunculaceae by use flow cytometry method. The variation in DNA amount across the family is 63,9-fold. The smallest genome has been foun in Aquilegia canadensis (2C = 0,75 pg) while the largest in Ranunculus lingua (2C = 47,93 pg). Within the family there are two main most evolved clades represented by large subfamilies Ranunculoideae and Thalictroideae which exhibited strongly contrasting variation in genome size (2C = 2,48 – 47,94 pg a 0,75 – 4,04 pg, respectivelly). The DNA content in small sister subfamilies Glaucidioideae, Hydrastioideae and Coptidoideae was small (2C = 2,73 pg, 2,69 pg or 1,37 pg); similarly in outgroups of sister families Papaveraceae, Eupteleaceae, Berberidaceae, Menispermaceae and Lardizabalaceae the DNA content was lower, therefore that’s suggesting increasing trend in evolution of genome size in the family. Expected correlation between genomic parameters (genome size and GC content) was not confirmed if tested by independent phylogenetic contrasts. The correlation between DNA amount and stomatal size was confirmed. The better predictor of genome size was shown to be length while other tested variables width x width x width and width x width x length exhibited less closser correlation. Geophyts have significantly larger genomes than no-geophyts species. Genome negatively correlated with flowering time. Moisture negatively affects genome size from the properties of the environment genome. This effect may be mediated by a negative correlation between stomatal size and moisture. Climatic conditions also have significant influence on genomic parameters. Genome size is positively affected by temp. GC content correlates negatively with temperature and precipitation.

Význam velikosti genomu a zastoupení AT/GC bazí 1.1 Velikost genomu Genom je veškerá genetická informace uložená v DNA buněčného jádra konkrétního organismu (druhu). V užším slova smyslu je to kompletní sekvence DNA obsažená v jedné gametě daného druhu. Termín genom poprvé použil Hans Winkler v roce 1920. Jaderný obsah DNA se dá popsat dvěma termíny a to „velikost genomu“ a „C-value“. Termín „velikost genomu“ začal používat pro množství DNA odpovídající monoploidnímu genomu (monoploidní velikost genomu = somatický obsah DNA / stupeň ploidie) pravděpodobně v 70. letech Ralph Hinegardner (1976). Pojem „C-value“ znamená poloviční somatický obsah DNA, bez ohledu na stupeň ploidie, tj. množství DNA odpovídající holoploidnímu genomu (holoploidní velikost genomu = somatický obsah DNA / 2 = gametický obsah DNA). Tuto zkratku zavedl v roce 1950 H. Swift. Z jeho práce ale nebylo zřejmé, co přesně písmeno „C“ vyjadřuje. To objasnil až v roce 1975 v dopise M. D. Bennettovi, v kterém stálo, že „C“ znamená „constant“ (Bennett & Leitch 2005). C-value se však běžně využívá a využívalo jako ekvivalent "velikosti genomu". Tím mohlo docházet ke konfúzi, kdy se pod stejným pojmem mohly chápat různé věci. Proto Greilhuber et al. (2005) nabízejí novou terminologii. Pro monoploidní obsah DNA doporučují termín „Cx-value“ (kde x je základní chromozomové číslo) a pro obsah DNA charakteristický pro konkrétní organismus termín „C-value“. Velikost genomu je vyjádřena v počtu párů bází, nebo jako její hmotnost v pikogramech. Pro přepočet se používají různé hodnoty – například 1 pg = 978 Mbp (Doležel et al. 2003). První měření velikosti genomu byla uskutečněna v 50. letech 20. století. Od roku 1976 se M. D. Bennett se svými kolegy snažili změřit co největší množství druhů (Gregory 2007). Současný počet zjištěných velikostí rostlinných genomů je přes 7000 (Bennett & Leitch 2010). Tento počet zahrnuje všech pět částí Plant DNA C-values database (krytosemenné, nahosemenné, kapraďorosty, mechorosty a řasy). Zdaleka největší rozsah dat je přitom znám v případě krytosemenných, jichž bylo dosud analyzováno 6287 druhů (Bennett & Leitch 2010). 1.2 Variabilita velikosti genomu Rozdíly mezi velikostmi genomu jsou obrovské, často i mezi poměrně blízce příbuznými druhy, aniž by to souviselo s rozdíly ve složitosti jejich organismální struktury (Thomas 1971). -1- Rozsah velikosti genomu se u kvetoucích rostlin pohybuje mezi 2C = 0,13 pg, což je hmotnost zjištěná u Genlisea

Novikoff 1*, Józef Mitka 2, Alexander Kuzyarin 1, Oleg Orlov 1, Marina Ragulina 1 Abstract. The paper is a contribution to ecology and chorology ofAconitum in high-mountain zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians. It was confirmed that genusAconitum in the Chornogora mountain range is represented by 14 taxa, and 7 more taxa were listed as potential for this region. These taxa belong to 3 subgenera and are divided on 4 main biomorphological groups delimited on the base of their habitat, life form, ecology and altitudinal distribution. The soil and vegetation types for all taxa have been identified and the maps of their distribution have been prepared. The most influent threats and their categories were identified.

    American Journal of Botany 96(1): 96–109. 2009. O NE SIZE FITS ALL? M OLECULAR EVIDENCE FOR A COMMONLY INHERITED PETAL IDENTITY PROGRAM IN RANUNCULALES 1 David A. Rasmussen, 2 Elena M. Kramer, 3 and Elizabeth A. Zimmer 4 Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 USA Petaloid organs are a major component of the fl oral diversity observed across nearly all major clades of angiosperms. The vari- able morphology and development of these organs has led to the hypothesis that they are not homologous but, rather, have evolved multiple times. A particularly notable example of petal diversity, and potential homoplasy, is found within the order Ranunculales, exemplifi ed by families such as Ranunculaceae, Berberidaceae, and Papaveraceae. To investigate the molecular basis of petal identity in Ranunculales, we used a combination of molecular phylogenetics and gene expression analysis to characterize APETALA3 (AP3 ) and PISTILLATA (PI ) homologs from a total of 13 representative genera of the order. One of the most striking results of this study is that expression of orthologs of a single AP3 lineage is consistently petal-specifi c across both Ranunculaceae and Berberidaceae. We conclude from this fi nding that these supposedly homoplastic petals in fact share a developmental genetic program that appears to have been present in the common ancestor of the two families. We discuss the implications of this type of molecular data for long-held typological defi nitions of petals and, more broadly, the evolution of petaloid organs across the angiosperms. Key words: APETALA3 ; MADS box genes; petal evolution; PISTILLATA ; Ranunculales.
