Ellagitannins of Davidia involucrata. I. Structure of Davicratinic Acid A and Effects of Davidia Tannins on Drug-Resistant Bacteria and Human Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas.

ABSTRACT: We isolated a new ellagitannin, davicratinic acid A (5), together with four known ellagitannins, davidiin (1), granatin A (2), pedunculagin (3), and 3-O-galloylgranatin A (4), from an aqueous acetone extract of dried Davidia involucrata leaves. The known ellagitannins were identified based on spectroscopic data. The structure of davicratinic acid A (5), a monomeric ellagitannin possessing a unique, skew-boat glucopyranose core, was established based on spectroscopic data. Additionally, we examined the effects of several tannins with good yields from this plant on drug-resistant bacteria and human oral squamous cell carcinomas, and found that davidiin (1) exhibited the most potent antibacterial and antitumor properties among the tannins examined.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Davidia involucrata.

Project description:Davidia involucrata Baill. is a kind of tertiary paleotropical plant floristic relic species unique to China. This rare plant is disappearing due to poor adaptability and serious poaching. Davidia involucrata has been listed as a national first-level protected wild plant, a unique genus plant unique to China, a relic plant, and a well-known ornamental plant in the world. It is a national-level protected plant. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of D. involucrata was characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The chloroplast genome of D. involucrata was 158,118 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,329 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,869 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,960 bp. The overall GC content is 37.80%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.0%, 31.6%, and 43.1%, respectively. The genome contains 132 complete genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete chloroplast genomes showed that D. involucrata and Camptotheca acuminate clustered together as sisters to other related species.

Response of photosynthesis to different concentrations of heavy metals in Davidia involucrata.

Project description:Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are highly toxic and are widespread in agricultural soils, representing risks to plant and human health. In this study, Davidia involucrata was cultivated in soil with different concentrations of Pb and Cd and sampled after 90 days. We used ANOVA to analyse the photosynthesis of D. involucrata and the ability of Pb and Cd to enrich and migrate in roots, stems and leaves. Various results are described here. 1) Under individual and combined Pb and Cd stress, the accumulation factors in the roots were greater than 1, which was significantly greater than those in the stems and leaves (P < 0.05), and the translocation factors both were less than 1. The Pb and Cd enrichment ability of D. involucrata roots was significantly higher than that of stems and leaves, and the migration ability of the two heavy metals in D. involucrata was weak. 2) The Mg-dechelatase activities of chlorophyll degradation products increased under stress due to high concentrations of Pb and Cd. However, chlorophyllase activity was higher at relatively low concentrations of the two heavy metals (P < 0.05). δ-Aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen of chlorophyll synthesis products are easily converted to uroporphyrinogen III under low concentrations of Cd, which promotes the synthesis of chlorophyll. 3) The effect of Cd stress alone on the chlorophyll concentration was not significant. Under combined stress, concentrations of Pb and Cd in the range of 400~800 mg·kg-1 and 5~20 mg·kg-1 significantly promoted an increase in photosynthetic pigments (P < 0.05). 4) Inhibition of the net photosynthetic rate increased with increasing Pb and Cd concentrations under both individual and combined stress. In addition, the root of D. involucrata had a strong absorption and fixation effect on heavy metals, thereby reducing metal toxicity and improving the tolerance of D. involucrata to heavy metals.

Reference gene and small RNA data from multiple tissues of Davidia involucrata Baill.

Project description:Davidia involucrata Baill. is a rare plant endemic to China. Its exclusive evolutionary position and specific floral organs endow it with a high research value. However, a lack of genomic resources has constrained the study of D. involucrata functional genomics. Here, we report D. involucrata transcriptome reads from different floral tissues pooled from six individuals at two developmental stages using Illumina HiSeq technology and the construction of a high-quality reference gene set containing a total of 104,463 unigenes with an N50 of 1,693?bp and 48,529 high-quality coding sequences. The transcriptome data exhibited 89.24% full-length completeness with respect to the benchmarking universal single-copy (BUSCO) dataset and a PLAZA CoreGF weighted score of 98.85%. In total, 65,534 (62.73%) unigenes were functionally annotated, including 58 transcription factor families and 44,327 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). In addition, 96 known and 112 novel miRNAs were identified in the parallel small RNA sequencing of each sample. All these high-quality data could provide a valuable annotated gene set for subsequent studies of D. involucrata.

Live imaging of developmental processes in a living meristem of Davidia involucrata (Nyssaceae).

Project description:Morphogenesis in plants is usually reconstructed by scanning electron microscopy and histology of meristematic structures. These techniques are destructive and require many samples to obtain a consecutive series of states. Unfortunately, using this methodology the absolute timing of growth and complete relative initiation of organs remain obscure. To overcome this limitation, an in vivo observational method based on Epi-Illumination Light Microscopy (ELM) was developed and tested with a male inflorescence meristem (floral unit) of the handkerchief tree Davidia involucrata Baill. (Nyssaceae). We asked whether the most basal flowers of this floral unit arise in a basipetal sequence or, alternatively, are delayed in their development. The growing meristem was observed for 30 days, the longest live observation of a meristem achieved to date. The sequence of primordium initiation indicates a later initiation of the most basal flowers and not earlier or simultaneously as SEM images could suggest. D. involucrata exemplarily shows that live-ELM gives new insights into developmental processes of plants. In addition to morphogenetic questions such as the transition from vegetative to reproductive meristems or the absolute timing of ontogenetic processes, this method may also help to quantify cellular growth processes in the context of molecular physiology and developmental genetics studies.

Predicting range shifts of Davidia involucrata Ball. under future climate change.

Project description:Understanding and predicting how species will respond to climate change is crucial for biodiversity conservation. Here, we assessed future climate change impacts on the distribution of a rare and endangered plant species, Davidia involucrate in China, using the most recent global circulation models developed in the sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC6). We assessed the potential range shifts in this species by using an ensemble of species distribution models (SDMs). The ensemble SDMs exhibited high predictive ability and suggested that the temperature annual range, annual mean temperature, and precipitation of the driest month are the most influential predictors in shaping distribution patterns of this species. The projections of the ensemble SDMs also suggested that D. involucrate is very vulnerable to future climate change, with at least one-third of its suitable range expected to be lost in all future climate change scenarios and will shift to the northward of high-latitude regions. Similarly, at least one-fifth of the overlap area of the current nature reserve networks and projected suitable habitat is also expected to be lost. These findings suggest that it is of great importance to ensure that adaptive conservation management strategies are in place to mitigate the impacts of climate change on D. involucrate.
