Abstract
BACKGROUND: B chromosomes are supernumerary chromosomes found in numerous plant species, including in the genus Lilium. Lilium amabile, an endemic Korean Lilium species, carries B chromosomes which are highly variable in terms of numbers and shape among the accessions collected throughout the Korea. Class 1 retrotransposons are highly abundant in the genome of Lilium species, but their biological functions are still obscure. Lilium species were known to hold high diversities derived from retrotransposons. OBJECTIVE: In this study, genetic diversities among the L. amabile accessions were analyzed to better understand relationships between genetic variations and cytological diversities. METHODS: Chromosomes were prepared from 95 L. amabile accessions for cytological identification. Genetic variations were analyzed by inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP), and genetic differentiation was evaluated via Tajima's D neutrality and FST analyses. Population structure and phylogenetic analyses were also carried out. RESULTS: The L. amabile accessions were classified into 11 cytotypes by the chromosome constitutions. Genetic diversity measured by IRAP analysis revealed high genetic diversity among the accessions. In the joint analysis of cytological variation with genetical variation, IRAP diversity was not related to the cytological diversities of diploid and aneuploids among L. amabile accessions, and genetic differentiation was not obvious. Moreover, the geographical distribution of L. amabile was not related to either IRAP diversity or cytological diversity. CONCLUSION: The B chromosome-carrying aneuploids occurred randomly among diploids throughout Korea, and IRAP diversification predated L. amabile dispersion in Korea without genetic differentiation.
