Molecular bases for parallel evolution of translucent bracts in an alpine "glasshouse" plant Rheum alexandrae (Polygonaceae)
Original language description
Parallel evolution provides an excellent framework to infer the genetic bases of adaptive traits and understand the importance of natural selection in shaping current biodiversity. The upper leaves of the "glasshouse plants" transform into translucent bracts that show numerous adaptions in alpine habitats. It remains unknown whether similar molecular changes occur under the parallel bract evolution of different "glasshouse" species. In this study, we compared the results on phenotypic and physiologicaldifferences and presented the results of cDNA-AFLP analyses of transcriptional changes between translucent bracts and normal leaves in Rheum alexandrae. We also examined the homologous candidate genes with the same expression changes between this speciesand another "glasshouse" species, R. nobile. We found that bracts of R. alexandrae are similar to those of R. nobile in anatomical features: chloroplasts have degenerated and chlorophyll contents are greatly reduced, which suggests that
