Abstract Aim A multiple glacial refugia hypothesis for Mediterranean plant species was tested with the evergreen Quercus complex ( suber L., ilex L. and coccifera L.) from Iberian Peninsula, using molecular palaeobotanical data. Location The which is an ecologically physiographically area located on western edge of Basin. Methods We sampled 1522 individuals 164 populations Q. , . review recent literature fossil pollen charcoal records a nested clade analysis chloroplast DNA polymerase chain...
It is widely accepted that hydraulic failure due to xylem embolism a key factor contributing drought-induced mortality in trees. In the present study, an attempt made disentangle phenotypic plasticity from genetic variation traits across entire distribution area of tree species detect adaptation local environments. A series related hydraulics (vulnerability cavitation and conductivity branches), growth performance leaf mass per were assessed eight Pinus canariensis populations growing two...
Double-digested RADseq (ddRADseq) is a NGS methodology that generates reads from thousands of loci targeted by restriction enzyme cut sites, across multiple individuals. To be statistically sound and economically optimal, ddRADseq experiment has preliminary design stage needs to consider issues related the selection enzymes, particular features genome focal species, possible modifications library construction protocol, coverage needed minimize missing data, potential sources error may impact...
Hybridization and its relevance is a hot topic in ecology evolutionary biology. Interspecific gene flow may play key role species adaptation to environmental change, as well the survival of endangered populations. Despite fact that hybridization quite common plants, many hybridizing species, such Quercus spp., maintain their integrity, while precise determination genomic boundaries between remains elusive. Novel high throughput sequencing techniques have opened up new perspectives...
Nuclear (AFLPs and ITSs) chloroplast DNA markers (cpDNA) were analysed in Quercus suber L., Q. ilex L. coccifera order to detect vicariant patterns the Western Mediterranean Basin populations. Clustering methods, i.e., parsimony, minimum spanning network, UPGMA PCO, used obtain robust phylogenies. The Mantel test was check geographic structure of markers’ based phylogenies showed high bootstrap values at basal nodes clusters indicative species. Within species, three two groups respectively...
Recent phylogeographic studies have elucidated the effects of Pleistocene glaciations and Pre-Pleistocene events on populations from glacial refuge areas. This study investigates those in riparian trees (Populus spp.), whose particular features may convey enhanced resistance to climate fluctuations. We analysed structure 44 white alba), 13 black nigra) two grey x canescens) poplar Iberian Peninsula using plastid DNA microsatellites sequences. also assessed fine-scale spatial genetic extent...
Gymnosperms are a clade of non-flowering plants that include about 1000 living species. Due to their complex genomes and lack genomic resources, functional annotation in genomics transcriptomics on gymnosperms suffers from limitations. Here we present gymnotoa-db, which is novel, publicly accessible relational database designed facilitate gymnosperms. This stores non-redundant records gymnosperm proteins, encompassing taxonomic information. The complementary software, gymnotoa-app, enables...
Abstract Aim To analyse the role of Balearic Islands as a refuge area for evergreen Quercus (cork oak: suber L., holm Q. ilex kermes coccifera L.), by using molecular, historical and palaeobotanical data. Location The Western Mediterranean Basin (Balearic Islands, eastern Iberia, Provence, Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, Malta, Italy, Northern Africa). Methods We sampled 108 populations used PCR‐RFLP technique with five universal cpDNA primers to define haplotypes in populations. Diversity,...
Abstract The increase of sequencing capacity provided by high‐throughput platforms has made it possible to routinely obtain large sets genomic and transcriptomic sequences from model non‐model organisms. Subsequent analysis gene discovery in next‐generation experiments are, however, bottlenecked functional annotation. One common way perform annotation obtained experiments, is searching for homologous accessing the related information deposited databases. Functional especially challenging...
We investigated how richness and composition of vascular plant species in the understory a mixed hardwood forest stand varied with respect to abundance overstory. The is central Spain represents southernmost range distribution several tree herbaceous Europe. Understory were identified 46 quadrats (0.25 m2) where variables litter depth light availability measured. In addition, we estimated density, basal area, percent area by within 6-m-radius areas around each plot. Species studied using...
Abstract Current methodologies of genome‐wide single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping produce large amounts missing data that may affect statistical inference and bias the outcome experiments. Genotype imputation is routinely used in well‐studied species to buffer impact downstream analysis, several algorithms are available fill genotypes. The lack reference haplotype panels precludes use these methods genomic studies on non‐model organisms. As an alternative, machine learning...
Background and AimsMarginal populations of widely distributed species can be high conservation interest when they hold a significant or unique portion the genetic diversity species. However, such information is frequently lacking. Here relevance surveys to develop efficient strategies for illustrated using cork oak (Quercus suber) from Minorca (Balearic Islands, Spain) as case study. Cork highly endangered on island, where no more than 67 individuals live in small, isolated stands siliceous...
Abstract Spatial discordance between primary and effective dispersal in plant populations indicates that postdispersal processes erase the seed rain signal recruitment patterns. Five different models were used to test spatial concordance of patterns a E uropean beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) population from central Spain. An ecological method was based on classical inverse modelling SSS ), using number seed/seedlings as input data. Genetic direct kernel fitting mother‐to‐offspring distances...
Cork oak and holm share a large part of their natural range, are known to hybridize in mixed stands. This hybridization is supposed have played relevant role the past history cork oak. Previous research has reported that F1 hybrids produced with acting as pollen recipient, therefore carrying chloroplast. Additionally, been assumed be pollinated mostly by Continued backcrossing (supported flowering phenology) could created organellar introgression patterns observed nowadays Eastern Spain...
Las técnicas de análisis genómico que se basan en la secuenciación masiva han supuesto una revolución última década no sólo biomedicina o agronomía, sino también el estudio diversidad biológica.Las plataformas segunda y tercera generación vienen a complementar tradicional por método Sanger, permiten analizar un gran número individuos obteniendo profundidad significativa sus genomas transcriptomas.Así, aunque todavía manera incipiente, realizando estudios sobre flora fauna silvestre escala...
