Dna Taxonomy

The understanding of the impossibility of distinguishing algal species based on morphological features came with the development of DNA sequencing technology, which today is a necessary tool for defining species boundaries and testing traditional species concepts. The paper discusses popular approaches to species identification (DNA barcoding) and the description of new and revision of known species (DNA taxonomy) using molecular genetic methods. The requirements and limitations in their work are given, as well as examples of phylogenetic analysis of green algae from the clade Moewusinia and Parachlorella, including the genus Micractinium.

Necessary And Sufficient

AbstractEukaryotic sex was initially isogametic and it is assumed that anisogamy/oogamy evolved independently in many lineages including animals, land plants and volvocine green algae. The exact evolutionary mechanisms that were responsible for the evolution of oogamy from isogamy were poorly understood until Nozaki et al. (2006) introduced the use of molecular-genetic data in elucidating the evolutionary origin of oogamy from isogamy in the colonial volvocacean Pleodorina starrii. In the close relative Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, sexual reproduction is isogametic with mating-types plus and minus. Mating type minus represents a “dominant sex” because the MID (“minus-dominance”) gene of C. reinhardtii is both necessary and sufficient to cause the cells to differentiate as isogametes of the minus mating type. No sex-specific genes had been identified in the volvocine green algae until Nozaki et al. (2006a) successfully cloned the MID gene of P. starrii. This “OTOKOGI” (PlestMID) gene is present only in the male genome, and encodes a protein localized abundantly in the nuclei of mature sperm. Thus, P. starrii maleness evolved from the dominant sex (mating type minus) of its isogamous ancestor. This breakthrough provides an opportunity to address various extremely interesting questions regarding the evolution of oogamy and the male-female dichotomy.
