IRIS NELSONII (IRIDACEAE): ORIGIN AND GENETIC COMPOSITION OF A HOMOPLOID HYBRID SPECIES.

Abstract:

:Nuclear and chloroplast DNA variation was assayed for two populations of Louisiana irises (Bayou Teche and Young's Coulee) that demonstrated extreme morphological variation and for a sample of the putative hybrid species, Iris nelsonii. The genetic markers examined in this analysis were diagnostic for either Iris fulva. Iris hexagona, or Iris brevicaulis. These data demonstrated that the two morphologically variable populations were hybrid associations involving all three of these species and that all three of these species were involved in the origin of I. nelsonii. The distribution of genetic variation in I. nelsonii was significantly different from that present in either of the two hybrid populations. I. nelsonii demonstrated significantly fewer foreign markers than the two hybrid populations. This finding is in accord with the prediction that I. nelsonii is a hybrid species that has undergone stabilization with regard to genetic recombination and segregation. Although the genotypic makeup of I. nelsonii was significantly different from other parental and hybrid populations, individual plants from this species cannot be unequivocally differentiated from either I. fulva or certain hybrid genotypes. This reflects the paradoxical nature of genotypic variation in hybrid species. Thus, a hybrid species may include genotypes that overlap with both parental and contemporary hybrid populations. In the case of I. nelsonii it is necessary to utilize additional information (morphological, chromosomal, ecological) to identify plants belonging to this taxon. One hybrid population (Young's Coulee) is suggested as a paradigm for the progenitor population that gave rise to I. nelsonii.
