Srovnávací analýza genomů dvoudomých rostlin
Bačovská, Nela
In the plant kingdom, only about one tenth of the species have different sexes. Since plant sex chromosomes are in general younger (and not always distinguishable from autosomes) than animal sex chromosomes, it is interesting to analyze them. This data can then be used in agricultural research in terms of growing exlusively one type of sex or using sex-linked genes for breeding. Because of polyploidization and long-term selection of only agriculturaly advantageous features, it seems fit to find a model plant which has not been subjected to artificial selection and could be used for the study of natural genome evolution. In this study, we chose Mercurialis annua and its close relative Mercurialis huetii for comparative analysis of their genomes and sex chromosomes which seem to be undergoing the first stage of degeneration.
