Microsatellite primers for the Pacific Northwest conifer Callitropsis nootkatensis (Cupressaceae).

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite primers were developed for Nootka cypress (Callitropsis nootkatensis) to provide quantitative measures for gene conservation that can assist in guiding management decisions for a species experiencing climate-induced decline. • METHODS AND RESULTS:Using multiplexed massively parallel sequencing, we identified 136,785 microsatellite-containing sequences from 489,625 Illumina paired-end 80-bp reads. After stringent filtering, we selected 144 primer pairs and screened variation at these loci in five populations of C. nootkatensis. Loci show between three and 36 dinucleotide repeats per locus, with an average of 13. Screening of these markers in the Pacific Northwest relative Chamaecyparis lawsoniana demonstrated no marker transferability. This finding highlights the narrow taxonomic utility of microsatellite markers in Callitropsis. • CONCLUSIONS:These microsatellites show high polymorphism and can be used for routine screening of natural variation in Callitropsis nootkatensis, and will be particularly helpful in identifying clones and inbred relatives at the stand-level.

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers for Chamaecyparis obtusa (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Although several microsatellite markers of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Cupressaceae) have been reported in previous studies, we newly developed and evaluated polymorphic microsatellite markers of C. obtusa, an economically important species in Korea as a major forestation tree species, for further genetic studies. Microsatellite-enrichment libraries were constructed according to the selective hybridization method. From this output, we obtained 10 polymorphic and five monomorphic microsatellite markers for C. obtusa. Five of these developed markers were successfully amplified for C. pisifera, a related species. These microsatellite markers can be valuable tools for further genetic studies of C. obtusa, and gathered genetic information may be useful for breeding program management.

Development of nuclear and chloroplast microsatellite markers for the endangered conifer Callitris sulcata (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite markers were developed for Callitris sulcata (Cupressaceae), an endangered conifer species in New Caledonia. Using sequencing by synthesis (SBS) of an RNA-Seq library, 15 polymorphic nuclear and chloroplast microsatellite markers were developed. When evaluated with 48 individuals, these markers showed genetic variations ranging from two to 15 alleles and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0 to 0.881. These markers will be useful for examining the genetic diversity and structure of remaining wild populations and improving the genetic status of ex situ populations.

DNA variation in a conifer, Cryptomeria japonica (Cupressaceae sensu lato).

Project description:We investigated the nucleotide variation of a conifer, Cryptomeria japonica, and the divergence between this species and its closest relative, Taxodium distichum, at seven nuclear loci (Acl5, Chi1, Ferr, GapC, HemA, Lcyb, and Pat). Samples of C. japonica were collected from three areas, Kantou-Toukai, Hokuriku, and Iwate. No apparent geographic differentiation was found among these samples. However, the frequency spectrum of the nucleotide polymorphism revealed excesses of intermediate-frequency variants, which suggests that the population was not panmictic and a constant size in the past. The average nucleotide diversity, pi, for silent sites was 0.00383. However, values of pi for silent sites vary among loci. Comparisons of polymorphism to divergence among loci (the HKA test) showed that the polymorphism at the Acl5 locus was significantly lower. We also observed a nearly significant excess of replacement polymorphisms at the Lcyb locus. These results suggested possibilities of natural selection acting at some of the loci. Intragenic recombination was detected only once at the Chi1 locus and was not detected at the other loci. The low level of population recombination rate, 4Nr, seemed to be due to both low level of recombination, r, and small population size, N.

Genetic evaluation of the breeding population of a valuable reforestation conifer Platycladus orientalis (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Platycladus orientalis, a widespread conifer with long lifespan and significant adaptability. It is much used in reforestation in north China and commonly planted in central Asia. With the increasing demand for plantation forest in central to north China, breeding programs are progressively established for this species. Efficient use of breeding resources requires good understanding of the genetic value of the founder breeding materials. This study investigated the distribution of genetic variation in 192 elite trees collected for the breeding program for the central range of the species. We developed first set of 27 polymorphic EST-derived SSR loci for the species from transcriptome/genome data. After examination of amplification quality, 10 loci were used to evaluate the genetic variation in the breeding population. We found moderate genetic diversity (average He?=?0.348) and low population differentiation (Fst?=?0.011). Extensive admixture and no significant geographic population structure characterized this set of collections. Our analyses of the diversity and population structure are important steps toward a long-term sustainable deployment of the species and provide valuable genetic information for conservation and breeding applications.

Development of chloroplast microsatellite markers for <i>Glyptostrobus pensilis</i> (Cupressaceae).

Project description:PremiseGlyptostrobus pensilis (Cupressaceae) is a critically endangered conifer native to China, Laos, and Vietnam, with only a few populations remaining in the wild.Methods and resultsUsing a complete chloroplast genome sequence, we designed 70 cpSSR loci and tested them for amplification success and polymorphism in 16 samples. Ten loci were found to be polymorphic and their genetic diversity was characterized using a total of 83 individuals from three populations in China. A total of 43 haplotypes were present, the effective number of haplotypes varied from 4.55 to 13.36, and the haplotypic richness ranged from 8.04 to 16.00. Gene diversity ranged from 0.81 to 0.97 (average 0.89). The number of alleles per locus and population ranged from one to eight, and the effective number of alleles ranged from 1.00 to 3.90. All polymorphic loci were successfully amplified in the related species Cryptomeria japonica var. sinensis, Taxodium distichum, T. ascendens, and Cunninghamia lanceolata.ConclusionsThese newly developed chloroplast microsatellites will be useful for population genetic and phylogeographic analyses of G. pensilis and related species.

The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Juniperus squamata</i> (Cupressaceae), a shrubby conifer from Asian Mountains.

Project description:The complete chloroplast genome of Juniperus squamata, a shrubby conifer of ornamental value, is determined in this study. The complete chloroplast genome size is 127,792?bp in length. The genome contains 118 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 32 transfer RNA genes, and four ribosomal RNA genes (16S ribosomal RNA, 23S ribosomal RNA, 4.5S ribosomal RNA, and 5S ribosomal RNA). It does not contain inverted repeat (IR) sequence. The overall GC content of J. squamata cpDNA is 35.1%. The phylogenetic analysis suggests its close relationship with J. recurva and J. tibetica from Himalaya and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, respectively. The genome may contribute to evolutionary studies of conifers.
