Structural dynamics of cereal mitochondrial genomes as revealed by complete nucleotide sequencing of the wheat mitochondrial genome

The application of a new gene-based strategy for sequencing the wheat mitochondrial genome shows its structure to be a 452 528 bp circular molecule, and provides nucleotide-level evidence of intra-molecular recombination. Single, reciprocal and double recombinant products, and the nucleotide sequences of the repeats that mediate their formation have been identified. The genome has 55 genes with exons, including 35 protein-coding, 3 rRNA and 17 tRNA genes. Nucleotide sequences of seven wheat genes have been determined here for the first time. Nine genes have an exon–intron structure. Gene amplification responsible for the production of multicopy mitochondrial genes, in general, is species-specific, suggesting the recent origin of these genes. About 16, 17, 15, 3.0 and 0.2% of wheat mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be of genic (including introns), open reading frame, repetitive sequence, chloroplast and retro-element origin, respectively. The gene order of the wheat mitochondrial gene map shows little synteny to the rice and maize maps, indicative that thorough gene shuffling occurred during speciation. Almost all unique mtDNA sequences of wheat, as compared with rice and maize mtDNAs, are redundant DNA. Features of the gene-based strategy are discussed, and a mechanistic model of mitochondrial gene amplification is proposed

Plasmon analysis of Triticum (wheat) and Aegilops. 2. Characterization and classification of 47 plasmons based on their effects on common wheat phenotype

This article comprises our final remarks on the phenotypic effects of alien plasmons on common wheat. Twenty-one vegetative, reproductive, and seed characters of 551 alloplasmic lines of 12 common wheat genotypes with 46 alloplasmons, and as the control, their euplasmic lines were investigated. Effects of genotype, plasmon, and their interaction had high statistical significance for all the characters investigated, whereas phenotypic variations attributable to the alien plasmons were relatively small. Individual plasmon types are characterized by their primary effects on 21 characters. Genotype x plasmon effects on two representative characters, heading date and plant height, are described in detail. Cluster and principal component analyses of the phenotypic effects of the 47 plasmons yielded 22 groups. The relationships between these phenotype-based groups and those defined by molecular differences in organellar genomes were examined. A significant correlation was found with some explainable discrepancies. For efficient plasmon identification, use of six of the present 12 genotypes is proposed. The key for plasmon classification is provided. Our findings indicate that alien plasmons may be of limited value in future wheat breeding, but that the plasmon diversity that exists in Triticum and Aegilops species is of great significance for understanding the evolution of these genera
