hothead - phenotype
• Organ fusion
• Pollen hydration on vegetative surfaces
• Increased rate of chlorophyll extraction
• Limited self-fertility
![Page 6: Will that be allele cache or Mendelian credit? Evidence for the inheritance of ancestral sequences in Arabidopsis. Susan J. Lolle Purdue University National](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5a9f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
All hothead mutations are recessive
Both copies of the gene must have a mutation to reveal the mutant phenotype

Fundamentals of Mendelian Genetics
• Two alleles per locus• Alleles can be dominant
or recessive• Alleles are stable from one
generation to the next, whether or not they contribute to the observed phenotype

Sequencing of HOTHEAD
•All mutant alleles contain a single point mutation in the HOTHEAD gene•Columbia and Landsberg wild-type alleles very similar; Ws quite different

Does phenotype relate to genotype?

What does the sequence tell us?

I don’t know if this is such a wise thing to
do, Bob.

•Seed contamination due to wild-type plants grown in close proximity to mutants•Elevated levels of outcrossing in hothead mutants (who is the daddy?)
Is reversion really contamination?Is this a mistake?

•Revertants detected as embryos cannot be due to contaminating seed

Explanations for Genetic Instability
•Transposon-induced alleles
•Inverted or direct repeats at the locus
•Epigenetic alleles
•High rate of random mutation
•Gene conversion
What does the sequence tell us?
![Page 21: Will that be allele cache or Mendelian credit? Evidence for the inheritance of ancestral sequences in Arabidopsis. Susan J. Lolle Purdue University National](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5a9f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
•None of these sequences could provide correction of the mutant nucleotide without introducing other changes

Where did these sequences come from?
• They were not present in the parental genome molecular and genetic evidence
• They were present in the ancestors molecular and genetic evidence
![Page 24: Will that be allele cache or Mendelian credit? Evidence for the inheritance of ancestral sequences in Arabidopsis. Susan J. Lolle Purdue University National](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5a9f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A DNA template cannot be detected in the parental genome
Evidence strongly supports a ‘template-directed’ process.
Is the template RNA?
Where is it?
How long does it persist?
![Page 25: Will that be allele cache or Mendelian credit? Evidence for the inheritance of ancestral sequences in Arabidopsis. Susan J. Lolle Purdue University National](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5a9f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•Organisms could carry sequence information for more than two alleles•Mechanism might help self-fertilizing species avoid the negative consequences of inbreeding
What might this mean?“@$#?!$”
![Page 26: Will that be allele cache or Mendelian credit? Evidence for the inheritance of ancestral sequences in Arabidopsis. Susan J. Lolle Purdue University National](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5a9f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Should you worry about your ancestry?
How long does the allele cache persist?
Is it quality cache?
