Isolation and characterization of 11 new microsatellite loci in Erigeron breviscapus (Asteraceae), an important Chinese traditional herb.

ABSTRACT: Erigeron breviscapus (Vant.) Hand.-Mazz. (Asteraceae) is a species endemic to southwestern China and an important traditional Chinese herb for cardiovascular and cerebral vessel diseases. Applying a modified biotin-streptavidin capture method, 11 microsatellite loci were discovered. Polymorphism of each locus was assessed in 24 individuals collected from five wild populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7, with an average of 4.273. The observed (HO) and expected (HE) heterozygosities varied from 0.250 to 0.958 and from 0.337 to 0.786, respectively. Over half of these loci were successfully amplified in two congeneric species. The developed microsatellite markers will be useful for future population genetics and conservation studies, as well as accurate identification of different varieties.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the invasive herb Solidago altissima (Asteraceae).

Project description:UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite markers were developed in the perennial herb Solidago altissima from populations within its introduced range in Japan to assess its population structure and to facilitate tracking of invasion expansion. • METHODS AND RESULTS:Using 454 pyrosequencing, 16 microsatellite primer sets were developed for S. altissima. The primer sets were tested on 70 individuals sampled from three populations in Japan. The primers amplified di- and trinucleotide repeats with five to 25 alleles per locus, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.46 to 0.92. • CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate the utility of primers in S. altissima for future research on a wide range of applications, including tracking of invasion dynamics and investigating population genetics of the species.

Complete plastid genome sequence of <i>Erigeron breviscapus</i> (Asteraceae), an endemic traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

Project description:Erigeron breviscapus is an important traditional Chinese herb endemic to China for cardiovascular and cerebral vessel diseases. Here, the complete plastid genome of E. brevisapus was sequenced using Illumina sequencing technology. The complete chloroplast genome size is 152,183 bp, including a large single-copy region of 84,705 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,112 bp and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 24,683 bp. The total GC content is 37.2%. The genome contains 113 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that E. breviscapus, Aster altaicus, and Eschenbachia blinii formed a clade with 100% bootstrap support.

High quality genome of Erigeron breviscapus provides a reference for herbal plants in Asteraceae.

Project description:Erigeron breviscapus is an important medicinal plant in Compositae and the first species to realize the whole process from the decoding of the draft genome sequence to scutellarin biosynthesis in yeast. However, the previous low-quality genome assembly has hindered the optimization of candidate genes involved in scutellarin synthesis and the development of molecular-assisted breeding based on the genome. Here, the E. breviscapus genome was updated using PacBio RSII sequencing data and Hi-C data, and increased in size from 1.2 Gb to 1.43 Gb, with a scaffold N50 of 156.82 Mb and contig N50 of 140.95 kb, and a total of 43,514 protein-coding genes were obtained and oriented onto nine pseudo-chromosomes, thus becoming the third plant species assembled to chromosome level after sunflower and lettuce in Compositae. Fourteen genes with evidence for positive selection were identified and found to be related to leaf morphology, flowering and secondary metabolism. The number of genes in some gene families involved in flavonoid biosynthesis in E. breviscapus have been significantly expanded. In particular, additional candidate genes involved in scutellarin biosynthesis, such as flavonoid-7-O-glucuronosyltransferase genes (F7GATs) were identified using updated genome. In addition, three candidate genes encoding indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase YUCCA2 (YUC2), serine carboxypeptidase-like 18 (SCPL18), and F-box protein (FBP), respectively, were identified to be probably related to leaf development and flowering by resequencing 99 individuals. These results provided a substantial genetic basis for improving agronomic and quality traits of E. breviscapus, and provided a platform for improving other draft genome assemblies to chromosome-level.

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers from the Chinese medicinal herb Atractylodes macrocephala (Asteraceae).

Project description:Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (Asteraceae) is an economically important Chinese medicinal herb. In this study, 15 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from A. macrocephala using the compound microsatellite marker technique. Levels of polymorphism within the 15 markers were assessed using 83 individuals from two wild and two cultivated populations in China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 20, with an average of 9.9 alleles. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.083 to 1.000 and from 0.097 to 0.938, respectively. These markers will be valuable for germplasm classi?cation and identi?cation, as well as for assessing the genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure among wild and cultivated populations of A. macrocephala.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Rehmannia glutinosa (Scrophulariaceae), a medicinal herb.

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Rehmannia glutinosa (Scrophulariaceae) is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Microsatellite primers were developed and characterized for this species to evaluate its genetic diversity and population genetic structure. METHODS AND RESULTS:Sixteen microsatellite loci were isolated from R. glutinosa using an enriched genomic library, and these markers were characterized in two wild populations of this species. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 20. A high genetic diversity was observed in two populations, with average observed heterozygosity of 0.812 and 0.794, and average expected heterozygosity of 0.802 and 0.814, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Rehmannia glutinosa is an important medicinal resource. The genetic markers described in our study will be useful for future population genetic studies and molecular breeding programs on this species.
