Development and multiplexed amplification of SSR markers for Thuja occidentalis (Cupressaceae) using shotgun pyrosequencing.

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Sixteen novel, polymorphic, multiplexed microsatellite loci were developed for eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) using simple sequence repeat (SSR)-enriched shotgun pyrosequencing. • METHODS AND RESULTS:Sixteen loci were tested on a panel of 24 individuals from different populations. The number of observed alleles ranged from four to 22. Four sets of multiplex PCR for the 16 loci were then carried out on 60 individuals of two populations from islands of FERLD Duparquet Forest, Canada. Mean number of alleles, observed heterozygosity, and expected heterozygosity were respectively 5.75, 0.594, and 0.574 for Island 58, and 5.50, 0.704, and 0.624 for Island 134. • CONCLUSIONS:Four sets of multiplex microsatellite loci can be used for future genetic studies, which includes investigating genetic diversity and structure, and fragmentation and regeneration studies.

Plastome Phylogenomic and Biogeographical Study on Thuja (Cupressaceae).

Project description:Investigating the biogeographical disjunction of East Asian and North American flora is key to understanding the formation and dynamics of biodiversity in the Northern Hemisphere. The small Cupressaceae genus Thuja, comprising five species, exhibits a typical disjunct distribution in East Asia and North America. Owing to obscure relationships, the biogeographical history of the genus remains controversial. Here, complete plastomes were employed to investigate the plastome evolution, phylogenetic relationships, and biogeographic history of Thuja. All plastomes of Thuja share the same gene content arranged in the same order. The loss of an IR was evident in all Thuja plastomes, and the B-arrangement as previously recognized was detected. Phylogenomic analyses resolved two sister pairs, T. standishii-T. koraiensis and T. occidentalis-T. sutchuenensis, with T. plicata sister to T. occidentalis-T. sutchuenensis. Molecular dating and biogeographic results suggest the diversification of Thuja occurred in the Middle Miocene, and the ancestral area of extant species was located in northern East Asia. Incorporating the fossil record, we inferred that Thuja likely originated from the high-latitude areas of North America in the Paleocene with a second diversification center in northern East Asia. The current geographical distribution of Thuja was likely shaped by dispersal events attributed to the Bering Land Bridge in the Miocene and subsequent vicariance events accompanying climate cooling. The potential effect of extinction may have profound influence on the biogeographical history of Thuja.

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Twenty-six microsatellite (simple sequence repeat [SSR]) markers were characterized in Psychotria homalosperma (Rubiaceae), an endemic evergreen tree in the Bonin Islands, Japan, to investigate the genetic structure and gene flow of the species. METHODS AND RESULTS:Using next-generation sequencing, we developed 26 SSR markers for P. homalosperma with perfect motifs from di- to pentanucleotide repeats. Of these, the Chichijima and Hahajima island populations of P. homalosperma had mean allele numbers of 6.50 and 6.81, respectively. The mean expected heterozygosities were 0.578 and 0.606, respectively. In addition, 10 and eight of these markers were successfully amplified for P. boninensis and P. serpens, respectively, occurring in the same or adjacent areas. CONCLUSIONS:The SSR markers developed in this study will be useful for future studies concerning the population genetics of P. homalosperma and will facilitate the development of a conservation strategy.
