RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Aneuploidy is associated with add or lack of individual chromosomes. The knowledge regarding aneuploidy is still rare in wild and tropical populations. Lippia alba is a tropical polyploid complex naturally formed, with 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, and aneuploid individuals. The species presents pharmacological and medicinal importance, due to its essential oil compounds, which are related to the ploidal level. Considering the singularity of aneuploids emergence and stability, we proposed to investigate putative cytotypes involved in the aneuploids formation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Molecular, cytogenetic, reproductive, and chemical approaches were adopted. The results showed that the aneuploids possibly have independent origin considering the genetic, chemical and karyotypical profiles. The chemical composition of aneuploids is related to genetic similarity. The aneuploid origin may involve 2x and 3x cytotypes being possible to rise four scenarios of crosses to explain that. CONCLUSIONS: The results, in general, contribute to the comprehension of the origin of aneuploids and highlight the genetic profile of these accessions as a key element on the understanding of the chemical profile of L. alba accessions.

RESUMO

Lippia alba is a phenotypically variable tropical shrub thought to comprise a young autopolyploid complex. Chromosome numbers in L. alba include 2n = 30, 38, 45, 60, and 90. High levels of chemical and phenotypic variation associated with economic and medicinal importance were reported. However, the genetic background including chromosome composition remains under-explored. Furthermore, the occurrence of at least four ploidal levels in L. alba and the lack of data for polyploid plants in tropical areas also merit further study of L. alba. Here we assessed the chromosome composition using two new satellite repeats (CL98 and CL66) applied as FISH probes to mitotic chromosomes, and we proposed to calculate the degree of homozygosis for CL66 satDNA (named as index h) and to associate it to meiotic instability. The CL98 mapping showed few variations in both number of signals and position. However, the levels of structural homozygosity for a satellite repeat CL66 were very variable. The numbers of CL66-bearing-chromosomes were under-represented in tetraploids relative to diploids implying that CL66 arrays have been lost in tetraploid lineages as a result of increased meiotic instability. High percentage of irregularities was observed in meiotic cells, especially in polyploids. L. alba complex comprised a mixture of homomorphic and heteromorphic chromosomes. Overall, the polyploid complex presents features typical of both young and older stable polyploids. It seems that L. alba genome is still in the process of stabilization.
