Karyotype Evolution
Senior Guest Group
Research goals
Traditionally our focus is on evolution of genomes and karyotypes of related plant groups with varying genome sizes and chromosome numbers. We study reasons and consequences of genome size variability by testing for whole genome duplications and chromosome rearrangements, e. g. among the 36 species of the five duckweed genera.
We quantify the outcome of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair at the sequence and the chromosome level to elucidate its impact on evolutionary stability versus dynamics of small versus large genomes.
The picture above symbolizes three strategies of genome size evolution based on different tendencies of DSB repair and the hypothetical relation between genome size and karyotype evolution. Mutations within and/or selection of DSB repair pathways may lead to consolidation of a strategy or to a switch between strategies. Furthermore, the model explains the so-called ‘C-value paraoxon’, the lacking correlation of genetic complexity and genome size in eukaryotes.
