Project description:Swertia divaricata Harry Sm., 1965, (Gentianaceae) is a perennial herb endemic to Northwest Yunnan, China, belonging to the species-rich genus Swertia. It possesses unique morphological features but its systematic position remains uncertain. To determine its phylogenetic placement, the complete plastid genome of S. divaricata was assembled utilizing high-throughput sequencing data. The genome is circular, spanning 152,073 bp, and comprises a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,470 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,153 bp, and two inverted repeats (IR) regions, each 25,725 bp. A total of 130 genes were annotated, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The plastome of S. divaricata exhibits a structure and gene composition highly similar to those of other Swertia plastomes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that S. divaricata is closely related to S. erythrosticta, sister to a subclade comprising species from sections Swertia and Apterae. The plastome sequence described herein constitutes a valuable contribution to phylogenetic and evolutionary research on Swertia.

Project description:Swertia L. is a large genus in Swertiinae (Gentianaceae). In China, many Swertia species are used as traditional Tibetan medicines, known as "Zangyinchen" or "Dida". However, the phylogenetic relationships among Swertia medicinal plants and their wild relatives have remained unclear. In this study, we sequenced and assembled 16 complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of 10 Swertia species, mainly distributed in Qinghai Province, China. The results showed that these species have typical structures and characteristics of plant cp genomes. The sizes of Swertia cp genomes are ranging from 149,488 bp to 154,097 bp. Most Swertia cp genomes presented 134 genes, including 85 protein coding genes, eight rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes, and four pseudogenes. Furthermore, the GC contents and boundaries of cp genomes are similar among Swertia species. The phylogenetic analyses indicated that Swertia is a complex polyphyletic group. In addition, positive selection was found in psaI and petL genes, indicating the possible adaptation of Qinghai Swertia species to the light environment of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. These new cp genome data could be further investigated to develop DNA barcodes for Swertia medicinal plants and for additional systematic studies of Swertia and Swertiinae species.
