Data from: A eudicot MIXTA family ancestor likely functioned in both conical cells and trichomes

The MIXTA family of MYB transcription factors modulate the development of diverse epidermal features in land plants. This study investigates the evolutionary history and function of the MIXTA gene family in the early-diverging eudicot model lineage Thalictrum (Ranunculaceae), with R2R3 SBG9-A MYB transcription factors representative of the pre core-eudicot duplication and thus hereby referred to as "paleoMIXTA" (PMX). Cloning and phylogenetic analysis of Thalictrum paleoMIXTA (ThPMX) orthologs across 23 species reveals a genus-wide duplication coincident with a Whole Genome Duplication. Expression analysis by qPCR confirmed the highest expression is found in carpels, while newly revealing high expression in leaves and nuanced differences between paralogs in representative polyploid species. The single copy ortholog from the diploid species T. thalictroides (TthPMX, previously TtMYBML2), which has petaloid sepals with conical papillate cells and trichomes on leaves, was functionally characterized by virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) and its role in leaves was also assessed from heterologous over-expression in tobacco. Another ortholog from a species with conical papillate cells on stamen filaments, TclPMX, was also targeted for silencing. Overexpression assays in tobacco provide further evidence that the paleoMIXTA lineage has the potential for leaf trichome function in a core eudicot. Transcriptome analysis by RNA-Seq on leaves of VIGS-treated plants suggests that TthPMX modulates leaf trichome development and morphogenesis through microtubule-associated mechanisms and that this may be a conserved pathway for eudicots. These experiments provide evidence for a combined role for paleoMIXTA orthologs in (leaf) trichomes and (floral) conical papillate cells that, together with data from other systems, makes the functional reconstruction of a eudicot ancestor most likely as also having a combined function.

Patterns of functional diversity along latitudinal gradients of species richness in eleven fish families

Aim: As we enter an era of major biodiversity shifts, understanding large-scale biodiversity patterns has become crucial for ecological and conservation purposes. Often, conservation priorities are based on concepts derived largely from species richness, yet recent works show that different facets of biodiversity are also critical for proper ecosystem continuity, function, and services. One facet of biodiversity increasingly relevant to conservation is functional diversity. Here, we aim to improve our understanding of large-scale patterns of biodiversity by testing the hypothesis that species richness can also accurately estimate functional diversity along the latitudinal gradient of species richness in fish. Location: Marine Environments. Time Period: Contemporary Major taxa studied: 842 species within eleven fish families; Acanthuridae, Blenniidae, Chaetodontidae, Gobiidae, Labridae, Lutjanidae, Pleuronectidae, Pomacanthidae, Pomacentridae, Scombridae, Sparidae. Methods: Using geometric morphometrics to calculate morphological diversity, a proxy for functional diversity, we estimated expected functional diversity for a given number of species and compared it to the observed functional diversity in fish families along latitudes. We then fit a brokenstick regression model with estimates of functional diversity over absolute degree of latitudes to locate latitudes where significant shifts in functional diversity occur. Results: We found that species richness typically over- or under-estimated functional diversity along the latitudinal gradient of species richness in the evaluated fishes. We also show that for most families investigated, there is a pattern of stable functional diversity from the equator through the tropics that shifts with a mean inflection point occurring at absolute latitude 31.7° ± 10.1°. We suggest this pattern may be linked to changes in environmental factors such as global temperature and/or habitat availability beyond tropical latitudes, however, these concepts require more study. Main conclusion: This analysis shows the importance of further considering functional diversity in combination with other biodiversity metrics when developing conservation priorities and policies.
