Fitzwilliam Museum McClean Bequest
No full textFrank McClean (1837–1904) was not only an astronomer and pioneer of objective prism spectrography, but also an accomplished and systematic collector of art, books and manuscripts. McClean's collections, which were left to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, on his death, were at that time the most notable bequest since the Museum's foundation. The fifteenth- and sixteenth-century printed books in his bequest, most of them produced in continental Europe, are described here in detail, with bibliographical descriptions and information on their provenance. Illustrated books are listed separately. The author of the catalogue, Charles Edward Sayle (1864–1924) was an erudite and popular librarian whose career was devoted to cataloguing and editing rare books in the University of Cambridge. His obituary praised him as 'a fine example of the type of man who likes to catalogue things in the right order'.</jats:p

Computational Identification, Phylogenetic and Synteny Analysis of Receptor-Like Kinases ?RLK? and Receptor-Like Proteins ?RLP? in Legumes
No full textLegumes are considered the second most important family of crop plants after the grass family based on economic relevance. In recent years, the field of legume genomics has expanded due to advancements in high-throughput sequencing and genotyping technologies. To date, no published comparative genomic analysis explores receptor-like kinases ?RLK? and receptor-like proteins ?RLP? among legume genomes. Evaluating these RLK and RLP should provide a source of new information because extensive genetic and phenotypic studies have already discovered the diverse roles of RLK and RLP in cell development, disease resistance, and stress responses among other functions. This study demonstrates that a computational logical approach for classifying the RLK/RLP in legumes/non-legumes is statistically well supported and can be used in other plant species. The analysis of RLK/RLP of 7 legumes and 3 non-legume species evaluated suggests that about 2% are RLK and less than 1% of the proteins are RLP. The results suggest a dynamic evolution of RLK and RLP in the legume family. In fact, between 66% to 85% of RLK and 83% to 88% of RLP belong to orthologous clusters among the species evaluated. The remaining RLK and RLP proteins are classified as singletons. The ratio of the pairwise synteny blocks of RLK/RLP among legumes shows a 1:1 relationship. The exception is G. max, which shows an approximately 2:1 ratio due to its recent whole genome duplication (G. max vs. the other six legumes). The other legumes show evidence of a similar proportion of plasma membrane proteins among the legume pairwise synteny blocks.Fulbright ScholarshipGenomics and BioinformaticsPlant SciencesFrancisco Jose de Caldas-Colciencias ScholarshipCollege of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resource
Investigation of the domestication of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) using multilocus sequence data
No full textMultilocus sequence data collected from domesticated and related wild relatives provides a rich source of information on the effect of human selection on the diversity and adaptability of a species to complex environments. To evaluate the domestication history of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), multilocus sequence data from landraces representing the various races within the Middle American (MA) and Andean gene pools was evaluated. Across 13 loci, nucleotide diversity was similar between landraces and wild germplasm in both gene pools. The diversity data were evaluated using the approximate Bayesian computation approach to test multiple domestication models and estimate population demographic parameters. A model with a single domestication event coupled with bidirectional migration between wild and domesticated genotypes fitted the data better than models consisting of two or three domestication events in each genepool. The effective bottleneck population size was ~50% of the base population in each genepool. The bottleneck began ~8200 and ~8500 years before present and ended at ~6300 and ~7000 years before present in MA and Andean gene pools respectively. Linkage disequilibrium decayed to a greater extent in the MA genepool. Given the (1) geographical adaptation bottleneck in each wild gene pool, (2) a subsequent domestication bottleneck within each gene pool, (3) differentiation into gene-pool specific races and (4) variable extents of linkage disequilibrium, association mapping experiments for common bean would more appropriately be performed within each genepool.</jats:p
Syntenic relationships among legumes revealed using a gene-based genetic linkage map of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
No full textMolecular linkage maps are an important tool for gene discovery and cloning, crop improvement, further genetic studies, studies on diversity and evolutionary history, and cross-species comparisons. Linkage maps differ in both the type of marker and type of population used. In this study, gene-based markers were used for mapping in a recombinant inbred (RI) population of Phaseolus vulgaris L. P. vulgaris, common dry bean, is an important food source, economic product, and model organism for the legumes. Gene-based markers were developed that corresponded to genes controlling mutant phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana, genes undergoing selection during domestication in maize, and genes that function in a biochemical pathway in A. thaliana. Sequence information, including introns and 3’ UTR, was generated for over 550 genes in the two genotypes of P. vulgaris. Over 1,800 single nucleotide polymorphisms and indels were found, 300 of which were screened in the RI population. The resulting LOD 2.0 map is 1,545 cM in length and consists of 275 gene-based and previously mapped core markers. An additional 53 markers that mapped at LOD <1.0 were placed in genetic bins. By screening the parents of other mapping populations, it was determined that the markers were useful for other common Mesoamerican x Andean mapping populations. The location of the mapped genes relative to their homologs in Arabidopsis thaliana (At), Medicago truncatula (Mt), and Lotus japonicus (Lj) were determine by using a tblastx analysis with the current pseduochromosome builds for each of the species. While only short blocks of synteny were observed with At, large-scale macrosyntenic blocks were observed with Mt and Lj. By using Mt and Lj as bridging species, the syntenic relationship between the common bean and peanut was inferred
