Abstract:
:The Brevivalvula section of the grass polyploid complex Pennisetum shows various reproductive systems, apomixis being the most widespread. Haplotype variation of chloroplast DNA was studied in the six morphological taxa (species) of this section by using RFLP analysis in 54 plants corresponding to 14 elementary taxa, each characterized on the basis of morphology and ploidy level. Two additional species, Pennisetum glaucum and P. purpureum, which belong to another section of the same genus, were analysed for comparison. In Brevivalvula, chloroplast DNA size was estimated to range between 130 and 133 kb. Thirteen of 15 distinct haplotypes identified in the study were specific to the Brevivalvula section. They were unequally distributed among the morphotypes, the ploidy levels and sampling sites. Within the Brevivalvula section, plants of P. setosum, which are perennial and reproduce vegetatively or by agamospermy, possessed a single specific haplotype. This species differed clearly from the five other morphological species, which are known to be annual, to show either sexual or agamospermic reproduction and which shared most of the 12 other haplotypes observed in the section, suggesting the occurrence of multiple hybridization events between the taxa. Chloroplast DNA variation was highly geographically structured, suggesting low seed dispersal between sites, whereas the substantial haplotype diversity observed in the sites may indicate that agamic reproduction is responsible for the maintenance of distinct genetically isolated clones. Haplotype classification using Wagner's parsimony suggested the occurrence of bidirectional gene flow between the diploids and the polyploids, as reported already in other related apomictic complexes.
