Abstract/Contents:"Poa annua L. is one of the world's most widely distributed plant species and is ecologically and economically important both as a weed and as a forage and turfgrass; however, little information is available concerning the genetics of this species for breeding purposes. We used single copy nuclear DNA sequences trx and CDO504 and chrolopast sequences ndhF and trnTLF to discern the evolutionary origin of Poa annua from all other possible origins. We show that at least two interspecific hybridizations between the maternal annual species Poa infirma and the paternal perennial species Poa supina gave rise to present-day Poa annua. Following this result, we were able to re-examine previously published cytological data from amphihaploids and present evidence for the genomic designations of Poa infirma as II and Poa supina as SS, making the genomic constitution of the allotetraploid Poa annua as IISS. As a species, Poa annua is most prevalent as an invasive, annual weed in ecosystems world-wide but there is also a dwarf perennial greens-type form that produces high turf quality with great utility to the golf industry. We characterized the morphological traits of the greens-type phenotype and investigated its inheritance and stability through genetic crosses. We found that the greens-type phenotype links to a single genetic mechanism. However, in advanced-generation progeny, the segregation of the greens-type phenotype does not conform to the disomic single-gene inheritance model. Additional models including tetrasomic inheritance, gene complementation, and quantitative inheritance models were also not applicable. These crossing results, along with the observation of somatic reversions, suggest that the greens-type phenotype is unstable and may be regulated by an epigenetic mechanism. Overall, our results place new emphasis on the extensive chromosomal rearrangements that took place during Poa annua's evolutionary origin as the underlying cause of epigenetic modification of the greens-type phenotype."
