Molekulární evoluce meiózy u diploidů a tetraploidů druhu Arabidopsis arenosa / Molecular evolution of meiosis in diploids and tetraploids of Arabidopsis arenosa

Meiosis is functionally conserved across eukaryotes, thus not expected to vary considerably among different species, and even less so among lineages within a species. However, recent studies showed that this is not necessarily the case in Arabidopsis arenosa. Genome scanning identified an excess differentiation in meiosis genes between A. arenosa diploids and tetraploids, interpreted as meiosis adaptation to the whole genome duplication in tetraploids and differentiation was also found between two diploid lineages. Thus, I present a population-based analysis of positive selection acting on meiosis proteins across multiple lineages of A. arenosa. I showed that meiosis proteins were under positive selection in all diploid lineages, mainly in the Pannonian and South-eastern Carpathian lineage. The evidence for positive selection in diploid lineages suggested differential pathways of meiosis adaptations in the species, probably reflecting the necessity to adapt to local environments, among all to temperature. The highest enrichment of amino acid substitutions (AASs) under positive selection was identified in tetraploids, in consistence with previous genome-scan results. As several interacting meiosis proteins were under positive selection in the same A. arenosa lineage, I hypothesize that the close...
