摘要

Background: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root-inhabiting fungi whose hyphal networks form symbioses with plants. Previous studies have revealed extremely high levels of genetic variation for some loci, which has lead to the proposition that AMF contain thousands of genetically divergent nuclei that share the same cytoplasm, i.e. they are heterokaryotic coenocytes. No reproductive stage has as yet been observed in AMF, yet evidence is accumulating that the observed high levels of diversity could be maintained by the exchange of nuclei between hyphal systems and (meiotic) recombination. AMF spores contain varying fractions of this heterogeneous population of nuclei, which migrate directly from the parent mycelium. To our knowledge, AMF are the only organisms that never pass through a single nucleus stage in their life cycle, which allows nuclei to diverge into genetically distinct nuclei within the same cytoplasm. Thus, estimating genetic diversity in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is a major challenge, not only for ecologists in the field but also for molecular biologists in the lab. It is unclear what the extent of polymorphism is in AMF genomes. The present thesis investigates different aspects of this peculiar genome organization.;Results: The second chapter in this thesis confirms the extensive intra-isolate polymorphism that was previously observed for large subunit rDNA (in G. irregulare DAOM-197198) and the polymerase1-like gene, PLS (in G. etunicatum), and shows that this polymorphism is transcribed. In the third chapter I report the presence of a bottleneck of genetic variation at sporulation for the PLS locus, in G. etunicatum. Analyses in the fourth chapter, based on a conservative network-based clustering approach and five novel single copy genomic markers, reveal extensive genome-wide patterns of diversity in two different AMF species (G. irregulare and G. diaphanum ).;Conclusions: The results from this thesis provide additional evidence in favor of genome differentiation between nuclei in the same isolate for AMF. Thus, at least three members of the Glomus genus, G. irregulare, G. diaphanum and G. etunicatum appear to be organisms whose genome organization cannot be described by a single genome sequence: genetically differentiated nuclei in AMF form a pangenome.;Keywords: Glomus, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, intra-organismal genetic heterogeneity, transcriptome variation, rDNA variation, nuclear variation, genetic bottleneck, heterokaryosis, anastomosis, polymerase1-like sequence.

DAOM-197198中)和聚合酶1样中观察到的广泛的分离内多态性。基因PLS(在G.etunicatum中),并表明该多态性已被转录。在第三章中,我报告了在牛毛草中PLS基因座形成孢子时存在遗传变异的瓶颈。第四章中的分析基于保守的基于网络的聚类方法和五个新颖的单拷贝基因组标记,揭示了两种不同AMF物种(G.normale和G.diaphanum)的广泛的全基因组多样性模式。该论文的结果为AMF同一分离株中的核之间的基因组分化提供了更多证据。因此,至少有3个Glomus属的成员,不规则G.,diaphanum和g。etunicatum似乎是其基因组组织无法用单一基因组序列描述的生物:AMF中的遗传分化核形成了一个泛基因组。 Glomus,丛枝菌根真菌,生物体内遗传异质性,转录组变异,rDNA变异,核变异,遗传瓶颈,异核,吻合,聚合酶1序列。
