Character (形質)

phylogeny (= natural classification)

genetics – micro-evolution
taxonomy – macro-evolution

(Maekawa 1950)

Characters in multifaceted nature (多面性の形質)
= characters that reflect the phylesis
1. structure of flaggella (鞭毛構造)

Ex. Phycomycetes (藻菌類)

Basidiomycetes (担子菌): basidiospore, dicaryon
Ascomycetes (子嚢菌): ascospore, monocaryon
Phycomycetes: coenocyte (多核体)

Chytridiales (ツボカビ類): uniflagellate flaggella (単毛)
Oomycetes (卵菌類): two comb-shaped flaggella
Zygomycetes (接合菌): conjugation (接合)

→ the common character in Phycomycetes is only noncellular structrue

2. chemical structural components in cell wall
3. assimilatory pigment → assimilates
4. formation mode and behavior of reproductive cells

Ex. Rhizophydium (Zygomycetes)________♀: transfer of cell contents
Zygomycetes
______________________________♂: active reproductive behavior
Ex. Pyronema (Ascomycetes)

ascogonium (造嚢器) / antheridium (造卵器) → trichogyne (受精毛) → ascogenous hypha (造嚢糸), forming 2n → forming ascus (担子器)
→ oomycetes is phylogenetically different from the other phycomycetes → establishing Dichotomycetes (二毛菌) (Maekawa 1947)

5. biosynthetic pathway

Ex. biosynthesis of lysin – two pathways (Vögel 1960)

AAA-pathway: α-KG acid + CH3COO-Coenzyme A → L-α-aminoadaphic δ-semialdehyde → lysin

bacteria, cyanophyta, green algae, dichonomycetes

DAP-pathway: L-asparatic-α-semialdehyde + pyruvic acid → L-α-ε-diamino pimelic acid → lysin

Phycomycetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes

→ dichonomycetes is essentially different from the other fungal taxa

Characters in tendency (偏向性の形質)
1. number of flagella (鞭毛数)
2. life phase (生活相)

Ex. life phase (Maekawa 1947) – considered as interfacial film

1. virus phase
2. amoeboid phase
3. monadoid phase (鞭毛相) - primitive
4. cystoid phase (包膜相) – cell wall present = high environmental adaptation
5. gymnoid phase (裸出相) – specific for animals

phase

Speciation (種分化)


Character displacement (形質置換)

speciation
speciation
Fig. Character displacement inferred from character states in sympatry (同所) and allopatry (異所) (Grant 1972).

Ex. Drosophilla pavlistrum complex

allopatry ___________sympatry
speciation
_____________________premating isolation
_____________________(the mechanisms unknown)

Ex. Litoria ewingii vs L. verreauxi

differences in sounds (or calls)

Ex. Phlox

____________allopatry sympatry
Phlox pilosa___pink______white
P. globerrina___pink______pink

Varation (変異)

1942 Mayer E: Geographycal race (≈ ecotype)

relationships of distribution between relative species: sympatric vs allopatric

1949, 1963 Anderson E: Introgressive hybridization

speciation
Introgression = immigration or penetration

introgressive genes to different race(s) in allopatric region(s), due to geological factors, etc.

1963 Anderson 1963: Introgression = hybridization of habitats
Summary
individuals [genes] → local population (forma) [genes, chromosome] → ecotype (variety) [genes, chromosome] → ecospecies (species) → coenospecies (species) → comparium (species or genus)
ramet (ラメート): all shoots have the same genotype

Ex. populations propagated by division = one clone

Evolutional entities (or units)

individuals
├─────┐
↓              ↓
ramets  biotype: many heterogenous genotypes
             (genotype) - the same genotypes
clones      ↓
             species
                 closely remoted, related

Race (レース)

Geographical races
continuous geographical race – inappropriate because race is discontinuous
disjunctive gegographical race

Ex. Gilia latifolia (continuous distribution), G. leptantha (disjunctive) – sympatric = can breed between the races

ecological (geograpical) race

Ex. savanna, slope of alpine zone
Ex. Gilia achilleaefolia

Sun races: large flower – pollinator = insect
Shade races: small flower – self-crossing

(Huxley 1938)

Cline (クライン)

Ex. Chenopodium rubrum (Cumming 1963)

34.3°N      50.2°N            60.8°N          62.8°N
California  Suskatchwan  Yukon           Yukon
Short-day                         Quantitatic    Mostly ventral
short-day  →→→→→→→→→→→→  long-day

also observed on cultivated plants
likely reversed pattern shown by plants of southern elements

Selection factors on race formation
1922 Turesson: race is classified into two types:

1. adaptation to major environmental factors in a given habitat
2. replacement between species

Ex. Geum, Potentilla, Campanula, etc. → edaphic factor / biotic factor

Isolation mechanisms (隔離機構)

Table 2.1. classification of isolation types
1 Geographical isolation (地理的隔離)
2 Ecological isolation (生態的隔離)
3 Reproductive isolation (生殖的隔離)

a) Seasonal isolation
b) Diurnal isolation
c) Floral isolation
d) Incompatibility (不和合性)
e) Hybrid inviability or weakness
f) Hybrid sterility
g) Self fertilization

1-3c: External isolation or premating isolation
3d-g: Internal isolation or postmating isolation

*: mechanical isolation, ethological isolation

Semi-species (半種)
1. progressive branching (漸進的分岐) Ex. Catalpa bignoides (USA), C. ovata (China)
Ex. Pleatnus racemosa (California), P. wrightii (Arizona)

→ convenient when treated as taxonomic species
= not good biological species

Overlapping rings (重複環)

rings Fig. Overlapping rings
representative species groups that show overlapping rings: Gilia capitata group, Ipomopsis aggregata group, Aquilegia carysantha group, Mimulus longiflorus group, Pinus ponderosa group

2. natural hybridization (自然交雑)
a. hybridized group

semi-sepcies drived by semi-species: Ex. Geum rivale × G. urbanum, Aquilegia formosa × A. pubescens
rings
Fig. 18.4. Laeves of Quercus alba and two of its hybrids (Hardin 1975)

b. permeable cross population (浸透性交雑個体群)

Iris hexagona var. giganticaerulea × I. fulva
→ conducted permeable cross after ecological isolation occurred (need revisit)

Ecological species (生態種)

Ecotype (エコタイプ) ≈ ecospecies (生態種)
Same species with different characters along environmental gradient
ecotype Product arising as a result of the response of the genotype of an organism to the particular habitat in which it lives. For example, Plantago maritima has a height of about 17.5 cm in waterlogged mud and 56 cm in fertile meadow. Cf. phenotpye plasticity
Ecocline (エコクライン)
consisting of ecotypes that exhibit gradual phenotypic and/or genetic differences along environmental gradients
Isozyme (アイソザイム)
= enzyme gene or isoenzyme
allozyme = allelic isozyme
multiple gene = non-allelic isozyme

Hybrid (雑種)


Def. the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different taxa through sexual reproduction
Ancient Greek Aristoteles: consider the presence of hybrid

discussed in "De Generatione Animalium (Generation of animals)"

1761 Kölreuter, Joseph Gottlieb (1733-1806)

plant hybridization experiments - confirmed the hybrids
discovered paternal inheritance

species immutability → evolution

Intraspecific hybrid (種内雑種)

progeny between the same species but different infraspecific taxa

Interspecific, interspecies or species hybrid (種間雑種)

progeny from the mating of individuals from different species

Ex. mule (ラバ) = ♂donky × ♀horse
Ex. leopon (レオポン) = ♂panther × ♀lion
Ex. liger (ライガー) = ♂lion × ♀tiger

☛ breed improvement (品種改良): breeding, embryology
1780 Spallanzani: intraspecific hybridization conducted using dogs
1776 Hunter, John (1728-1793, England), anatomist

firstly reported successful artificial insemination

1907 Ivanov, Ll'ya Ivanovich (1834-1901): applyed to livestock science

horse hybridization → cow, sheep, etc.
