Symmetric and Asymmetric Components of Shape Variation in the Diatom Genus Frustulia (Bacillariophyta)

Original language description

Irregularities in cell division can produce asymmetry in symmetric structures, such as outlines of diatom cells, which can reflect genetic, environmental, or random variability in developmental processes. This study examined 12 phylogenetic lineages of the diatom genus Frustulia using landmark-based geometric morphometrics to assess the variation between cell segments separated by apical and transapical axes. Although asymmetric variation within cells differed in some lineages, these irregularities most likely did not reflect the evolutionary history of the lineages. The intraclonal phenotypic plasticity of diatom frustules was induced rather by nongenetic factors, i.e., inherited valve abnormalities, constraints of siliceous cell walls, and random developmental instability during morphogenesis. The positive correlations between the symmetric and asymmetric components of shape variation indicated that the morphogenesis of diatom cell walls affected irregularities within cells and variability among the symmetrized cells to a similar extent.
