Chapter 1 Repeated evolution of a floral trait in Capsella<br />

8.0). For native electrophoresis 50 µl samples were separated on 7.5% polyacrylamide<br />

gels. More detailed information about experimental procedures and nomenclature of AAT<br />

allozymes are given in Hurka et al. (1989).<br />

Data analysis<br />

For all individuals, genotypes of three duplicated Aat loci (locus 1A/B, 2A/B, 3A/B) were<br />

determined. The percentage of polymorphic AFLP loci was calculated using AFLPsurv 1.0<br />

(Vekemans 2000). AFLP fingerprints and allozyme data were combined to generate a 0/1<br />

matrix. This matrix was used for principal co-ordinate analysis (PCO) and neighborjoining<br />

analysis. To display the genetic distance between the analysed populations, PCO<br />

was performed in MVSP 3.13 (Kovach Computing System) using Nei & Li coefficient for<br />

binary data. For insights on individual level, neighbor-joining was conducted in Treecon<br />

1.3b (van de Peer 1994). A wild-type individual of C. bursa-pastoris from USA (Reno,<br />

Nevada; progeny of 740/6) was used as outgroup. Wild-type plants from Gau-Odernheim<br />

and Warburg were included for all analyses.<br />

Results<br />

Allozyme variability<br />

For 34 decandric samples, genotypes of three duplicated Aat loci (locus 1A/B, 2A/B, 3A/B)<br />

were determined. In total, six different multilocus genotypes were detected. In Gau-<br />

Odernheim as well as Warburg, genotype II (1111 1144 1155) was the most common<br />

genotype with a frequency of 74% and 57%, respectively. Both individuals from Vienna-<br />

Hütteldorf revealed a single genotype (1111 1111 1155) and the two progenies of the<br />

Russian ancestor also showed just one genotype (1111 1111 1122).<br />

The AFLP analysis yielded 101 reliable AFLP fragments. Among the analysed<br />

populations, 76 fragments (75.2%) were polymorphic. In decandric individuals the<br />

percentage of polymorphic loci (PLP) varied from 36.5% in Warburg to 68.3% in Gau-<br />

Odernheim, whereas the PLP in the two Russian individuals was only 3.2%. The two<br />

samples from Vienna-Hütteldorf were not polymorphic in AFLP loci.<br />

Genetic differentiation<br />

A combined 0/1-matrix of AFLPs and allozyme data was generated to elucidate the single<br />

or multiple origin of the decandric variant. Figure 2 shows the results of a principal co-<br />
