While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed.

DERIVATION OF Vg(F2/F^)^. 169 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION Whereas introgression of genes from one race or species into an­ other has been a factor in the evolution of plants in nature, both natural and artificial introgression have played a part in the develop­ ment of many agricultural species. Stebbins (1970) outlined the sequence of events in natural intro­ gression: (1) hybridization, (2) backcrossing, and (3) stabilization of backcross types by selection. In nature, a direct hybrid between two very diverse parents is usually unadapted to the habitat of either parent and is at a selective disadvantage. Backcrossing, by producing progeny adapted to the habitat of one parent but containing small amounts of germplasm of the other, can permit an enduring transfer of genes. Likewise in plant breeding, crosses between cultivated strains and wild or weedy relatives usually produce very few or no agronomically acceptable progeny. MacKey (1963) suggested in the case of wide crosses that the breeder backcross one or more times to the adapted parent. The number of backcrosses is determined by the relative importance of (1) mean performance and (2) genetic variability. For example, if a base population for recurrent selection is being established, fewer back- crosses will be made than if a single disease-resistance allele is be­ ing added to a cultivar. In this study, the results of introgressing germplasm from wild diploid sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) races into grain sorghum cultivars are examined. The wild, weedy, and cultivated sorghum races intercross readily; introgression of wild germplasm into cultivars has 2 occurred continuously in Africa since the domestication of the crop (Doggett, 1965; DeWet et al., 1970). It is possible, however, that some agronomically useful genes or gene complexes present in the wild races were not retained during the development of modern grain sorghum cultivars. The objectives of this study are: (1) To determine the theoretical and actual degree of genetic variation produced by introgressing germplasm of three wild sorghum races into cultivated sorghum strains; (2) To evaluate the potential of introgression for grain yield improvement in sorghum and find the relationship, if any, between the proportion of wild germplasm in a population and the occurrence of high-yielding progeny; and (3) To determine the degree and pattern of association among traits in the introgression populations and whether there are tightly coherent complexes of "wild" traits. Review of Literature Natural introgression in crop species Gene flow between crops and sympatric wild relatives occurs natu­ rally, often facilitated by weedy intermediate forms (Harlan, 1965). African sorghum represents a crop-weed-wild complex in which introgression has played an important role (DeWet and Huckabay, 1967; Doggett and Majisu, 1967). For example, race arundinaceum is a wild grass of the west and central African tropical forests and hybridizes with cultivated race guinea, producing troublesome weeds. Introgression 3 of genes from arundinaceum into the early cultivated types may have pro­ duced the guinea phenotype and permitted extension of grain sorghum cultivation into the forests (DeWet et al., 1976). In addition, race virgatum crosses with durra sorghums in north­ east Africa. Race verticilliflorum is widespread and crosses with culti­ vated types over the entire African savanna. Race aethiopicum crosses with cultivated races caudatum and durra in the dry savanna of West Africa (DeWet et al., 1976). Doggett and Majisu (1967) showed 105 progeny rows derived from a natural wild x cultivated hybrid to local Ugandan women, who selected 57 heads to which they gave names of varieties currently in cultivation in the area. This suggests the possibility of natural introgression, since a few hybrid progeny surviving to the Fg (or a backcross genera­ tion) might not be rogued out of a field, though containing, and pass­ ing on to their progeny, wild genes. Doggett and Majisu (1967) considered African sorghum to be a case of disruptive selection. Despite considerable gene flow between wild and cultivated races, it was found that the contrasting influences of artificial and natural selection maintained a wide phenotypic divergence between the two populations. According to Manglesdorf (1961), teosinte (Zea mays ssp. mexicana, L. Schrad.) grows extensively in and around maize (Z. mays, ssp. mays) fields in Mexico and Guatemala. Farmers remove teosinte and hybrid plants (which make up 50% of the stand in some cases), but only after pollen has been shed. Introgression from Tripsacum into maize is also evident in areas 4 of South America where, despite the absence of teosinte. the local maize has tripsacoid characters. Stalker et al. (1977) demonstrated that Tripsacum germplasm can be introgressed into maize by repeated backcrossing. However, DeWet et al. (1968) pointed out that experimental introgression cannot prove that natural introgression

O’Connell, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, and approved June 17, 2019 (received for review March 26, 2019) The dispersal of anatomically modern human populations out of Africa and across much of the rest of the world around 55 to 50 thousand years before present (ka) is recorded genetically by the multiple hominin groups they met and interbred with along the way, including the Neandertals and Denisovans. The signatures of these introgression events remain preserved in the genomes of modern-day populations, and provide a powerful record of the sequence and timing of these early migrations, with Asia proving a particularly complex area. At least 3 different hominin groups appear to have been involved in Asia, of which only the Denisovans are currently known. Several interbreeding events are inferred to have taken place east of Wallace’s Line, consistent with archaeological evidence of widespread and early hominin presence in the area. However, archaeological and fossil evidence indicates archaic hominins had not spread as far as the Sahul continent (New Guinea, Australia, and Tasmania), where recent genetic evidence remains enigmatic. human evolution | archaic introgression | anthropology | genetics As anatomically modern humans (AMHs) migrated out western Siberia (3, 4).

    THE EVOLUTION OF MIMICRY IN THE BUTTERFLY PAPILIO DARDANUS C. A. CLARKE and P. M. SHEPPARD Departments of Medicine and Zoology, University of Liverpool Received23.V.59 1.INTRODUCTION WHENBatesputforward the mimicry hypothesis which bears his name, Darwin (1872), although accepting it, had some difficulty in explaining the evolution of the mimetic resemblance of several distinct species to one distasteful model by a series of small changes, a require- ment of his general theory of evolution. He said "it is necessary to suppose in some cases that ancient members belonging to several distinct groups, before they had diverged to their present extent, accidentally resembled a member of another and protected group in a sufficient degree to afford some slight protection; this having given the basis for the subsequent acquisition of the most perfect resemb- lance ". Punnett (1915) realised that the difficulty is even more acute when one is dealing with a polymorphic species whose forms mimic very distantly related models. Knowing that, in those butterflies which had been investigated genetically, the forms differed by single allelomorphs he concluded that the mimicry did not evolve gradually and did not confer any advantage or disadvantage to the individual. He argued that an allelomorph arises at a single step by mutation and that therefore the mimicry also arises by chance at a single step. Goldschmidt (x) although not denying that mimicry confers some advantage to its possessors also maintained that the resemblance arises fully perfected by a single mutation of a gene distinct from that producing the colour pattern in the model, but producing a similar effect in the mimic.

  • Grain Sorghum GRAIN SORGHUM
    68 Grain Sorghum GRAIN SORGHUM See page 22 for PRECAUTIONS on use of atrazine containing products near ground and surface water. See comments in the corn section for detailed information on each of the herbicides listed below such as application methods and crop rotation restrictions. Preemergence ATRAZINE 4L 1.6 to 2 qt/A or (atrazine 1.6 to 2 lb ai/A) AATREX NINE-O 1.8 to 2.2 lb/A Weeds Controlled: Black nightshade, cocklebur, common ragweed, giant ragweed, jimsonweed, lambsquarters, morningglories, pigweeds, prickly sida, smartweed, velvetleaf. Remarks: Apply at-planting prior to sorghum emergence or before sorghum exceeds 12 inches in height as a postemergence treatment. In case of crop failure, sorghum may be replanted into soil previously treated with ATRAZINE. Do not make a second ATRAZINE application or injury may occur. CALLISTO 6.0 to 6.4 fl. oz/A (mesotrione 0.18 to 0.20 lb ai/A) Weeds Controlled: Black nightshade, cocklebur, jimsonweed, lambsquarters, pigweeds, smartweed, velvetleaf. Remarks: Except for grain sorghum and sweet sorghum do not use CALLISTO in the production of other types of sorghums such as forage sorghums or sudangrass. Can be applied preemergence or as a pre- plant non-incorporated treatment up to 21 days before planting sorghum. Applying CALLISTO more than 7 days (but not more than 21 days) prior to planting will reduce the risk of crop injury. If emerged weeds are present at the time of the preemergence application, use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v or crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1% v/v (UAN or AMS can also be added to the spray solution).

  • Microevolution and the Genetics of Populations ​ ​ Microevolution Refers to Varieties Within a Given Type
    Chapter 8: Evolution Lesson 8.3: Microevolution and the Genetics of Populations ​ ​ Microevolution refers to varieties within a given type. Change happens within a group, but the descendant is clearly of the same type as the ancestor. This might better be called variation, or adaptation, but the changes are "horizontal" in effect, not "vertical." Such changes might be accomplished by "natural selection," in which a trait ​ ​ ​ ​ within the present variety is selected as the best for a given set of conditions, or accomplished by "artificial selection," such as when dog breeders produce a new breed of dog. Lesson Objectives ● Distinguish what is microevolution and how it affects changes in populations. ● Define gene pool, and explain how to calculate allele frequencies. ● State the Hardy-Weinberg theorem ● Identify the five forces of evolution. Vocabulary ● adaptive radiation ● gene pool ● migration ● allele frequency ● genetic drift ● mutation ● artificial selection ● Hardy-Weinberg theorem ● natural selection ● directional selection ● macroevolution ● population genetics ● disruptive selection ● microevolution ● stabilizing selection ● gene flow Introduction Darwin knew that heritable variations are needed for evolution to occur. However, he knew nothing about Mendel’s laws of genetics. Mendel’s laws were rediscovered in the early 1900s. Only then could scientists fully understand the process of evolution. Microevolution is how individual traits within a population change over time. In order for a population to change, some things must be assumed to be true. In other words, there must be some sort of process happening that causes microevolution. The five ways alleles within a population change over time are natural selection, migration (gene flow), mating, mutations, or genetic drift.

  • Patterns and Power of Phenotypic Selection in Nature
    Articles Patterns and Power of Phenotypic Selection in Nature JOEL G. KINGSOLVER AND DAVID W. PFENNIG Phenotypic selection occurs when individuals with certain characteristics produce more surviving offspring than individuals with other characteristics. Although selection is regarded as the chief engine of evolutionary change, scientists have only recently begun to measure its action in the wild. These studies raise numerous questions: How strong is selection, and do different types of traits experience different patterns of selection? Is selection on traits that affect mating success as strong as selection on traits that affect survival? Does selection tend to favor larger body size, and, if so, what are its consequences? We explore these questions and discuss the pitfalls and future prospects of measuring selection in natural populations. Keywords: adaptive landscape, Cope’s rule, natural selection, rapid evolution, sexual selection henotypic selection occurs when individuals with selection on traits that affect survival stronger than on those Pdifferent characteristics (i.e., different phenotypes) that affect only mating success? In this article, we explore these differ in their survival, fecundity, or mating success.

Gray Fellow, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stanford, CA, USA *Contributed equally to this work +Correspondence: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the field has made impressive progress in documenting the extent of natural hybridization, both historical and recent, there are still many unanswered questions about its genetic and evolutionary consequences. Recent work has suggested that the outcomes of hybridization in the genome may be in part predictable, but many open questions about the nature of selection on hybrids and the biological variables that shape such selection have hampered progress in this area. We discuss what is known about the mechanisms that drive changes in ancestry in the genome after hybridization, highlight major unresolved questions, and discuss their implications for the predictability of genome evolution after hybridization. Introduction Recent evidence has shown that hybridization between species is common. Hybridization is widespread across the tree of life, spanning both ancient and recent timescales and a broad range of divergence levels between taxa [1–10]. This appreciation of the prevalence of hybridization has renewed interest among researchers in understanding its consequences.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. lntrogression and Its Consequences in Plants Abstract The or le of introgression in plant evolution has been the subject of considerable discussion since the publication of Anderson's influential monograph, Introgressive Hybridization (Anderson, 1949). Anderson promoted the view, since widely held by botanists, that interspecific transfer of genes is a potent evolutionary force. He suggested that "the raw material for evolution brought about by introgression must greatly exceed the new genes produced directly by mutation" ( 1949, p. 102) and reasoned, as have many subsequent authors, that the resulting increases in genetic diversity and number of genetic combinations promote the development or acquisition of novel adaptations (Anderson, 1949, 1953; Stebbins, 1959; Rattenbury, 1962; Lewontin and Birch, 1966; Raven, 1976; Grant, 1981 ). In contrast to this "adaptationist" perspective, others have accorded little ve olutionary significance to introgression, suggesting instead that it should be considered a primarily local phenomenon with only transient effects, a kind of"evolutionary noise" (Barber and Jackson, 1957; Randolph et al., 1967; Wagner, 1969, 1970; Hardin, 1975).
