概要 In wheat (Triticum) and Aegilops, chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes have been studied for over three decades to clarify the phylogenetic relationships among species, and most of the maternal lineages of polyploid species have been clarified. Mitochondrial genomes of Emmer (tetraploid with nuclear genome AABB) and Dinkel (hexaploid with AABBDD) wheat are classified into two different types, VIIa and VIIb, by the presence-absence of the third largest HindIII fragment (named H3) in the mitochondrial DNA. Although the mitochondrial genome in the genera often provides useful information to clarify the phylogenetic relationship among closely related species, the phylogenetic significance of this dimorphism has yet not been clarified. In this study, to facilitate analysis using a large number of accessions, a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker that distinguishes the type VIIb mitochondrial genome from type VIIa was first developed. Mitochondrial genome type was determined for each of 30 accessions of wild and cultivated Emmer wheat and 25 accessions of Dinkel wheat. The mitochondrial genome type for each accession was compared with the plastogroup that had been determined using chloroplast microsatellite markers. Unexpectedly, the distribution of mitochondrial genome type was not in accordance with that of the plastogroups, suggesting occasional paternal leakage of either the mitochondrial or chloroplast genome during speciation and differentiation of Emmer and Dinkel wheat. An alternative possibility that substoichiometric shifting is involved in the observed dimorphism of the mitochondrial genome is also discussed.
