Plastome Structural Conservation and Evolution in the Clusioid Clade of Malpighiales.

ABSTRACT: The clusioid clade of Malpighiales is comprised of five families: Bonnetiaceae, Calophyllaceae, Clusiaceae, Hypericaceae and Podostemaceae. Recent studies have found the plastome structure of Garcinia mangostana L. from Clusiaceae was conserved, while plastomes of five riverweed species from Podostemaceae showed significant structural variations. The diversification pattern of plastome structure of the clusioid clade worth a thorough investigation. Here we determined five complete plastomes representing four families of the clusioid clade. Our results found that the plastomes of the early diverged three families (Clusiaceae, Bonnetiaceae and Calophyllaceae) in the clusioid clade are relatively conserved, while the plastomes of the other two families show significant variations. The Inverted Repeat (IR) regions of Tristicha trifaria and Marathrum foeniculaceum (Podostemaceae) are greatly reduced following the loss of the ycf1 and ycf2 genes. An inversion over 50?kb spanning from trnK-UUU to rbcL in the LSC region is shared by Cratoxylum cochinchinense (Hypericaceae), T. trifaria and Ma. foeniculaceum (Podostemaceae). The large inversed colinear block in Hypericaceae and Podostemaceae contains all the genes in the 50-kb inversed colinear block in a clade of Papilionoideae, with two extra genes (trnK-UUU and matK) at one end. Another endpoint of both inversions in the two clusioids families and Papilionoideae is located between rbcL and accD. This study greatly helped to clarify the plastome evolution in the clusioid clade.

Project description:While the family Schizaeaceae (Schizaeales) represents only about 0.4% of the extant fern species diversity, it differs from other ferns greatly in gross morphologies, niche preferences, and life histories. One of the most notable features in this family is its mycoheterotrophic life style in the gametophytic stage, which appears to be associated with extensive losses of plastid genes. However, the limited number of sequenced plastomes, and the lack of a well-resolved phylogenetic framework of Schizaeaceae, makes it difficult to gain any further insight. Here, with a comprehensive sampling of ~77% of the species diversity of this family, we first inferred a plastid phylogeny of Schizaeaceae using three DNA regions. To resolve the deep relationships within this family, we then reconstructed a plastome-based phylogeny focusing on a selection of representatives that covered all the major clades. From this phylogenomic backbone, we traced the evolutionary histories of plastid genes and examined whether gene losses were associated with the evolution of gametophytic mycoheterotrophy. Our results reveal that extant Schizaeaceae is comprised of four major clades—Microschizaea, Actinostachys, Schizaea, and Schizaea pusilla. The loss of all plastid NADH-like dehydrogenase (ndh) genes was confirmed to have occurred in the ancestor of extant Schizaeaceae, which coincides with the evolution of mycoheterotrophy in this family. For chlorophyll biosynthesis genes (chl), the losses were interpreted as convergent in Schizaeaceae, and found not only in Actinostachys, a clade producing achlorophyllous gametophytes, but also in S. pusilla with chlorophyllous gametophytes. In addition, we discovered a previously undescribed but phylogenetically distinct species hidden in the Schizaea dichotoma complex and provided a taxonomic treatment and morphological diagnostics for this new species—Schizaea medusa. Finally, our phylogenetic results suggest that the current PPG I circumscription of Schizaea is non-monophyletic, and we therefore proposed a three-genus classification moving a subset of Schizaea species sensu PPG I to a third genus—Microschizaea.

Project description:The chloroplast is one of the most important organelles of plants. This organelle has a circular DNA with approximately 130 genes. The use of plastid genomic data in phylogenetic and evolutionary studies became possible with high-throughput sequencing methods, which allowed us to rapidly obtain complete genomes at a reasonable cost. Here, we use high-throughput sequencing to study the "Adenocalymma-Neojobertia" clade (Bignonieae, Bignoniaceae). More specifically, we use Hi-Seq Illumina technology to sequence 10 complete plastid genomes. Plastomes were assembled using selected plastid reads and de novo approach with SPAdes. The 10 assembled genomes were analyzed in a phylogenetic context using five different partition schemes: (1) 91 protein-coding genes ("coding"); (2) 76 introns and spacers with alignment manually edited ("non-coding edited"); (3) 76 non-coding regions with poorly aligned regions removed using T-Coffee ("non-coding filtered"); (4) 91 coding regions plus 76 non-coding regions edited ("coding + non-coding edited"); and, (5) 91 protein-coding regions plus the 76 filtered non-coding regions ("coding + non-coding filtered"). Fragmented regions were aligned using Mafft. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Criteria (BC). The analyses of the individual plastomes consistently recovered an expansion of the Inverted Repeated (IRs) regions and a compression of the Small Single Copy (SSC) region. Major genomic translocations were observed at the Large Single Copy (LSC) and IRs. ML phylogenetic analyses of the individual datasets led to the same topology, with the exception of the analysis of the "non-coding filtered" dataset. Overall, relationships were strongly supported, with the highest support values obtained through the analysis of the "coding + non-coding edited" dataset. Four regions at the LSC, SSC, and IR were selected for primer development. The "Adenocalymma-Neojobertia" clade shows an unusual pattern of plastid structure variation, including four major genomic translocations. These rearrangements challenge the current view of conserved plastid genome architecture in terms of gene order. It also complicates both genomic assemblies using reference genomes and sequence alignments using whole plastomes. Therefore, strategies that employ de novo assemblies and manual evaluation of sequence alignments are required to prevent assembly and alignment errors.
